In order to have both front and
back stair It is necessary to build
little larger because no one likes to
encroach on the rooms or closets and
stairways take up room which must
be provided in some way. Some
housekeepers lay great stress on the
advantages Of both front and back
stairways, while others care but lit
tie whether they have one stairway
or two. If a person has $500 or
$4,000 to invest in home | think
It advisable to build large enough so
the house may contain every modern
convenience.
In this plan attention is given to

tion against railroads has brought
about q generally bad condition. aud
while We have found 1t necessary 10

ton We had planned. We still think
that conditions now prevailing are
more or less temporary and that in
the long run the people OF the coun
try will not see injustice done to
our railroads.
Our needs for additional facilities
for the proper handling Of business
are heavy, and We have authorized
large expenditures for improvements
and betterments. These improve
emnts carry a charge OF more than
100000 in operating account, Such
charge for February was approx
mately 100000. and such charges
will continue unless we find 1t neces
sary to put a stop to much work We
have planned

ment charges for the month was o

OF our lighter weight box cars and
coal cars. These two items accoun,
for the decrease in net earnings. ant
this decrease. when taken in the
light of the constant increase W;
have been showing In our net earn
ings, Is not serious.
Operating conditions have beer
difficult because Of the steadily In
creasing business offered, and as 1
result of more or less congestion the
cost of handling the business has
been high. But these operating con
ditions are improving, and there /:
