Use of Block Signals.

The Interstate commerce commits
sion. in compliance with the Mann
resolution, prepared and sent to con-
gress report on safety appliances.
which concludes with recommends
ton that congress make suitable ap-
preparation and authorize the commits
sion to conduct a series of tests un-
der government auspices.
The report gives the total present
mileage in the United States protect
ed by block signals as 1872. OF which
6.S27 miles have automatic and 179
mile shave staff systems. The cost of
equipping with block system, with
special cabins and signalmen indepen-
dent Of the existing telegraph service
is given as from s1.7O0 to $4,000 per
mile. Automatic signals have cost
from $1,000 to $4,000 per mile of dou-
hle track. and their maintenance costs
from $75 to s125 per signal per year,
The salient facts which appear
from statements the commission has
received from railway managers are.
% Fifty of the principal railroads of
the country have introduced and are
using the block system on their inn
portant lines, though with consider
able difference In details of apparatus
and methods of operation. (2) The
telegraph block system is operated at
moderate expense. with great inn
provement in safety, as compared
with former methods of train control.
CD Automatic block signals are al
most universally looked upon in this
country as the highest exemplifica-
ton of art. and have been and are
being developed with great energy
and skill and liberal expenditures Of
money. (4) Automatic signals are su-
perseding the telegraph block system
