Bureau Of Car TRACING.

Railroad men have again taken up
plans for the establishment of central
bureaus in the various large cities for
tracing cars. This plan was suggested
some time ago. but no definite action
was taken. Owing to the vast amount
OF money expended annually by the
various lines, certain Pittsburg rail.
road officials have recommended that
this subject be taken up again, and
indications are that the new bureaus
will be established within few
months.
Under the present rclles for car trac.
ing 1t frequently; happens that three
and four representatives OF the vari.
Gus departments are tracing one car.
1t is proposed to establish a central
bureau where all complaints regarding
lost consignments of freight can be
made. This bureau could look after
the tracing of cars for all roads in this
district and absolutely no partially
would be shown the shippers. Much
unnecessary work could be saved and
the railroad men and shippers would
get batter results, according to the
statements made yesterday.
