DOWN
OFFICE EXPENSES
p, B. & ". R. R. Committee
Recommends That Three
Employees be Disposed Of

As the result OF the report made bv the
special committee appointed sometime ago
to investigate the expenses at the various
stations on the Pennsylvania railroad a
number of changes have been made at the
French street station. One man has been
taken out Of the ticket office, the position
Of night baggage master has been dis
pensed with and a messenger has been
taken out OF the station masters office
These changes have been made TO bring
the expense OF the station 10 the minimum
without a corresponding decrease in the
efficiency OF the service.
This committee visited the local station
on August 1 and the changes have been
made on it's recommendation 10 the gen.
eral managers office at Philadelphia.
The committee is now visiting other sta
tions on the Pennsylvania railroad on the
lines east Of Pittsburg. The committee con
sists Of eight expert accountants taken
from the lines east Of Pittsburg the chair
man having headquarters in New York. It
Is asserted that it costs more to operate
some of the stations than others Of the
same size and the committee was appoint-
ed to investigate the cause Of the differ
ence.
one Of the hypothetical questions asked
by the committee and modified to apply to
the local station was;
If il costs one-tenth Of a cent to throw
each switch at Jersey City and two cents
to handle a piece of baggage there. why
should It cost two-tenths Of cent to
throw each switch at Pittsburg and three
cents to handle the same bit of baggageT
At Pittsburg where one Of these inquiry
and readjustment committees is now at
work. the information is given that there
is a range of 125 per cent and fifteen per
cent between costs of doing the same
work at the different points. II may cost
81 to do a certain class OF work at the
Chicago terminal and the same work cost
s2.25 at Plttsburg. and $3.50 or vice versa
The work at the dollar town is done as
we'll as at the higher priced points. The
committees must look into this and bring
the higher priced points down 10 the
cheaper towns basis yet not interfere with
general efficiency OF the service. II the
service at the cheaper point is insufficient
then It must be built I'D.
It is claimed. for instance. that 10 sweep
scrub, etc. the Union depot at Pittsbure
costs more yearly than does similar ser.
vice at other points This is being looked
after Pittsburg's depot must be cleanly
but at less expense. II Philadelphia uses
more mops and soap than does Chicago
on a given piece of work this must be rem
edied
The changes thus made at the French
street station while minor in their appli-
cation here nevertheless constitutes a
small end Of a reform that win probably
save the Pennsylvania railroad thousands
Of dollars.

PENNSY FEELS
WATER FAMINE

The water famine is beginning to
make trouble for the Pennsylvania
Railroad CompRny, and unless there
is some relief within the next two
weeks, il is feared that some Of the
reservoir will go dry, specially those
in the mountain district in and about
Altoona. Very little trouble is being
experienced east Of Harrisburg. but
where the company must depend upon
smaller streams, the water is being
used very sparingly
No more water than is necessary is
to be used on the western end of the
Middle division and as soon as the
water troughs have been filed the sup
ply is shut off. At Bellwood on Tues
day night the water supply was shut
of entirely with the exception OF one
hour. The water at No. 2 track was
shut of entirely yesterday, and only
passenger trains are now allowed to
take water here.
