New Haven Railroad
 Weighing Mail Carried

New Haven. Nov. 3.-It is because the New Haven road feels that it is not getting all the financial return it is entitled to that the road now is weighing, under the supervision of government officials, all the mail car ried on it's trains.
 The mail carried by the road was weighed under the supervision of the postal authorities about one year ago. The job took two months. On the basis of the average weight of the mail carried by the many mail trains on the system the government and the New Haven road entered into a four year contract. it is stated, by postal authorities. These contracts have al- ways run for four years and the mail has been weighed quadriennially for many years. The reweighing work will be done under the management of the New Haven road and it is the first time the company ever undertook this job.
