Cost of system.

Speaking Of the cost of the block sys-
/ TEN, Messrs. Adams and Anthony say:
The cost Of the block system is "a some
what Indefinite quantity. Few roads keep
/ its cost separate from other expenses
Usually the first cost OF introducing the
! telegraph block system is confined to one
! additional telegraph wire, say so per
mile. and a signal. say SO or less, at
each station. On many lines. the train
order signal already in use for train dis
/ patching has been made to serve salts
factorily as a block signal. Tie real
/ financial burden, if any there be. is in the
additional telegraph operators required
making a permanent increase in the pay
rolls. On one road on which the tele-
/ graph operators already in service man
/ aged the block signals. the increased ex-
I pense for wages Of operators was less
[ than per cent
In considering the installation OF auto
/ matte block signals the first financial
question is the original cost Of the signals.
/ apparatus, fittings. and appliances. The
! cost OF maintenance, while a considerable
/ item. is decidedly smaller than the cost Of
/ operation of the nOnautOmatic systems. in
which the item of wages is large. Auto
matte block signals have involved eXpen-
ditures of from q 800 TO $500 q mile OF
Idouble-track road, the precise figure vary
/ ing according TO the type OF signal the
number OF outlying switches to be CON
Injected, and the frequency Of the signals
/ or length of the block sections. The
I maintenance of these signals costs va
riously from SO to $125 per signal per
year"
/ Comparing signalmcn in this country
/ with those Of England. the report states:
The facts Of the accident records jus
/ tify a strong presumption that American
/ signalmen are not so carefully selected
/ nor so wen trained as those OF England.
SignaImen Are Young.
1.-THE average signaIman in America is
young, and has had. probably. from six
months to two years instruction-not sys-
/ tematic training-under another signal
man. whose superiority to the student is
/ due entirely to what he has learned by
/ experience and not at all 10 methodical
and authoritative instruction. The aver
/ age block signalman in England, on the
/ contrary, has served as such from five to
/ twenty-five years, and has been through
/ a long course in a signal cabin as book
/ ing boy or as assistant. before being
/ trusted with fun charge OF the block
| signals. This difference in personnel of
! the signalmen of the two countries un-
/ dOubtedly explains in large measure the
nearer approach to perfection of the block
/ signal service in England. The fact that
youth and inexperience are factors in our
! failure in block working has been re-
I peatedly illustrated in the accident rec
/ ords, as given in the quarterly bulletins
/ So long as the telegraph block system
/ is worked anywhere with "A higher de-
( gree Of safety than on American rail-
roads, the practice OF American roads
/ 70 the extent OF such superiority must be
declared deficient"

itIaI Expense Is Not Great.

The special report OF the block signal
systems in use on American railroads
made by Messrs. B. B. Adams and c. c.
Anthony, under the direction Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, was given
out yesterday.
Mr. Adams is one of the editors Of the
Railroad Gazette, and MI Anthony IS
supervisor of signals Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Mr. Adams has published ID
book on block signals. and both men are
experts of many years experience in the
matter of railroad signaling. The re-
port is made in response to the resolution
passed by Congress last June.
The comparatively long distance be
tween stations and the expense Of tel
egraph operators has for years delayed
the introduction, they state. of the later
and improved systems of signaling. With
denser population and more frequent
train service, the new systems have be
come imperatively necessary.
The length of railroad in the United
States on which trains are run under the
block system, as shown by reports made
in September, 1906, in response TO the
order of the commission. is 1913 miles. a
length of 6,S26 miles IS shown as being
equipped with automatic block signals,
and length of 1876 miles as worked 10y

ually. 81 miles, on seven different roads,
