l. aN. TO REDUCE EXPENSES.
The Expenses Of Operating Local Division Win
Hereafter Be Governed According to Pro-
portion of Revenue.

A New Orleans morning paper of
Thursday says that authority which is
tantarnount to an order for retrench
ment in expenses of operating the New
Orleans Montgomery division of the
Louisville and Nashville system has
been received by Superintendent Chas.
Marshall, of this city. This is accord
ing to the statement of Mr.. Marshall
that he is instructed to handle the divi-
sion upon sliding scale basis, cutting
off expenses wherever necessary and
making his expenditure proportionate
to the revenues OF the line. In this
plan Of procedure Superintendent Mar
shall says he is authorized to charge up
to the expense of operation about 70
cents upon every dollar of the revenues
of the line on this division. Thus he
will govern himself according to the
the amount of his retrenchment shall be.
"Mr. Marshall said yesterday that he
had not found it necessary to make any
cuts in wages or lay off any employe,
except in one department, that of truck
layers. In handling this class of labor
he waa governed by the market price
and the supply. Just now, when almost
IS per cent. of the lumber mills along
the line are shut down and labor is
plentiful he has been able to secure
track laborers at reduced figure, and
in this city he has made the same cut
in wages that the Illinois Central has
for track labor, cutting from S1.75 per
day to about 81 10.
"He does not know what will be the
extent of the curtailment of expense,
but hopes that there will be renewal
of business in a short time. He has
not cut down the time of the shop men,
but few freight engines and passenger
locomotives which were used during
heavy traffic runs have been laid off for
the present. He did not think that
there would be any necessity of making
cuts like those at Pensacola, since the
business south of Montgomery up to
within a short time had been quite
good"

DEEP WATER AT GULFPORT.
Mr.. Bowers Asks Appropriation for That Work
and for Pascagoula improvements.

Congressman Bowers has introduced
bill making an appropriation of $500
600 to purchase seagoing dredge for
the Gulfport and Ship Island channel,
as well as an annual appropriation of
$75, 900 for maintenance.
The bill follows recommendation
made by the river and harbor board, the
chief of engineers and the secretary of
war, after hearing which was had on
the matter during the past summer, when
Mr.. Bowers appeared and advocated the
extension of the improvements at Gulf
port.
Sometime ago Mr.. Bowers obtained
an order for re-suryey Of the harbor
and channel at Gulfport. The engineers
reported against the modification of the
project on the ground that the govern
ment work already undertaken had not
been completed, the work still being in
the hands of the contractor. A bill was
then introduced by MIR. Bowers and
passed, and the government took over
the harbor, cancelling the contract for
maintenance. The survey was referred
back to the engineers for re-examina-
tion and new report, which was favor
able, and the engineer board, after the
hearing, recommended the purchase and
maintenance of hydraulic dredgc to be
used continually in Gulfport harbor
channel. The last bill introduced con-
forms to that report and and it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that the next river and
harbor will carry these items.
MIR. Bowers also introduced bill for
the survey of the Pascagoula river and
harbor, with view of extending the ex-
listing project to meet the demands of
the increasing commerce of that port.
It is understood that the amount al
ready appropriated for tho work will
reach the projected depth of seventeen
feet, and this survey is asked for in
view of further improvements.
