new freight cars. On this division
new freight cars. In this division
of the road the largest number were
received as the scarcity Of freight
cars here has been an alarming sit
uation in freight traffic.
Cars have been supplied to all roads
las rapidly as they can be made. The
situation on the Hooking Valley is
even worse than on the other roads
for very often the officials of that
road are compelled to reject many
orders for freight traffic. The freight
managers hope that during the COM
ing winter the traffic may lull and
thus give relief to the present condi-
tions.
