OFFICIALS WILL
HAVE MORE POWER
ROCK ISLAND WILL SHORTEN ITS
DlvIsIoNs-ADDs RESPONSE
BILITY TO OPERATORS

From Tuesdays Daily
The Rock Island has determined to
put the operating officials in closer
touch with the people and with public
necessity in the way ut transportation
facilities. With this end In view the
management recently has made many
material changes in the physical divi-
sion and in the organization of the
operating forces. Under the new plan
which has been put in force by Presi-
Diet b. L. Winchell, the division plan
of organization has been further con.
centrated SO that the general superin-
tendents and the division superintend-
ents will have less mileage to look
after, viii, have more power to "do
things without bothering the front
Office and will be brought in closer
touch with the people alons tsei. re
spective divisions of the road.
Need More superintendent.
The carrying out Of the plan will
add somewhat to the expense of oper-
alton as It will soon increase the num-
Der IF division superintendent from
fourteen to nineteen. Formerly the d.
vision superintendent had an average
of $50 miles of road to look after. Here
after they will have an average of at
least 100 miles less. This is a depar.
ture from the usual method of adding
mileage to division superintendent.
In addition to the operation over
their divisions, the superintendent
also will have charge of maintenance
which on many systems, is delegated
to engineers. In short, division SUI.
perintendent on the Rock Island will
be, a bigger man than he is on almost
any other system. He will be expected
to keep in close touch with mis- terri.
tory and will be given the authority OF
a general superintendent or of gen
eral manager.
Likewise the general superintendent
of which the Rock Island now has five
will rise in Importance and practically
will DE assistant general managers
each with about 1900 miles of road
in charge. The new regime is expect
ed to have a splendid effect upon dis
cipline. as the superintendent will have
time to get acquainted with his men
