Train Collectors.

Several railroads, the Chicago and
Alton being the prime mover, have
successfully experimental wlth"train
cole ctors" or auditors, and II is pos
sible that such officers will be perma-
nently retained on the roads already
having made the experiment. The
move is likely to spread to other
roads.
The move vas inaugurated to pre-
vent conductors "speeulating." and
Il Is stated that the Chicago and Al
ton road has saved $1,000 a month
on the average by the Inauguration
of train collectors. Other roads have
saved many thousand dollars. The
most money is collected on suburban
trains by these new officers.
The duties of train collectors are
similar to those of the conductor
The conductor runs the train and col
lects tickets. but the collector col
lects cash fares. when tickets have
not been purchased. When this move
Is iuaugurated il is done quietly In
order that no stir is occasioned, some
conductors being prone to resent 1t,
holding it as an insinuation of dis
honesty.

stock. tracks, in fact everything to
be inspected, will be made tomor-
row. 1t is the annual Improvement
inspection" and a number of officials
will start from Paducah on a spe-
cial train, to perform the work.

ties in the local shops tomorrow. and
may recommend improvements.
Mr. McCoufi is here to meet other

Egan and other district officials, all
on the annual Improvement in
spection.
There are many things 10 look af-
ter" an official stated. 1--WE will look
after the fire fighting service particu-
larly. Al Princeton the interests OF
the road have increased since the
acquisition of part of the Tennes-
see Central road and the creation of
the Nashville division. and we need
better private fire fighting facilities.
We also need them at other parts OF
the division and will look to this de-
tail minutely.
"We will also look after the track
work, rolling stock, buildings brldg-
es and culverts and see what can be
done in the way of improvements, OF
course We will make Improvements
which will ultimately lead to a cur
tailment of expenses, but I think the
inspection will bear immediate re-
suits"
