NOT TO BE ABANDONED
RAILWAY COMPANIES CON-
TINUE AT POTOMAC YARDS.

1t is said to be improbable that the new
Potomac freight yards of the combined
railways in Alexandria county, near Four
Mile run. will be abandoned. as was
rumored last week. II is now stated that
the representatives OF the freight traffic
departments OF the Pennsylvania. Balti-
more and Ohio, Southern and Washing
ton-Southern systems have determined
to continue TO occupy the yards. but that
the cost of operating is to be curtailed.
on this curtailment problem the railway
men are working. but their plans, it Is
said. are not yet compieted. 1t is prob
able that work at the yards will be done
with 4 reduced force and that expenses
will be curtailed in other departments of
the big freight-handling Plant.
A prominent freight official of the
Southern railway yesterday. in CONVEX
rumor of the abandonment of the yard
was absurd
why should the railway companies.
he said who have an investment of a mil
lion and half of dollars in the Potomac
yards abandon them when they have just
been put into use? 1t is probable that
some cutting down of expenses at the
yards may be made. but this Is being done
all over southern and other railway sys-
TENS, and is but a part of the plan to
make receipts and expenses come some
where near balancing.
The official further stated that he had
no information as to what decision had
been reached regarding the yards, but
he was satisfied that they will not be
abandoned by the railway companies us
ing them.
