Freight Agt Fowler
Goes to Parkersburg
Division Freight Office Transfer
red to that Place Order Be-
came effective Wednesday.

The 3. s. o. division freight Office
here has been consolidated with the
Office at Parkersburg and the Division
Freight Agent Fred Fowler and his
official force have been transferred to
Parkersburg with all the equipments
of the office. The order became effec-
tive January /. At his new head
quarters Mr.. Fowler will have juris-
diction over the B. s. o. from Grafton
to Parkersburg, the Monongahela d.
vision, the Ohio River division, and
the Short Line, covering about 40
miles Of road. The new ARA ,gement
is a promotion for Mr.. Fowler as it
gives him vastly more territory and
increases his responsibilities.
The announcement Of the change
came in the nature of a surprize and
created CONSERVATION among the BUSH
ness men Of this city, who realize most
keenly the bad effects, it is thought,
the transfer will create upon shipping
facilities here, and who highly appreci-
ate Mr.. Fowler's valuable services
along commercial and industrial lines.
The transfer is said to be in keeping
with the Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany,s idea Of maintaining freight
division offices only at competitive
points. The b, s. o. having no com.
petition here, it was deemed unneces-
sary to longer maintain the office
here,
The division freight Office at Cum
berland has also been abandoned, and
E. NJ. Davis, assistant general freight
agent at Baltimore, has been made
division freight agent. His jurisdic-
.diction extends from Philadelphia to
Grafton. He was formerly connected
with the agency here.
