Many Changes May Result.
Just what the changes viii be il ths
list of officials Of the MINNEAPOLIS &
St. Louis and the Iowa Central. WIZ
are in charge Of the details Of man
agement- operation, traffic. and &c.
counts, can only be surnised Tha-
there will be a number Of changes i;
reasonably certain. George Il Ross
the new vice president N charge OF tht
traffic Of the joint lines, said in C1i
cago yesterday that he would make NJ
appointments until he had found gu
the needs of the properties.
Rumor of New Manager.
IT is rumored that P. II. Eoulahan
now general manager Of the Chicagr
& Alton, viii be appointed genera
manager Of the NJ. & St L. and low:
Central, 10 succeed VI 2. Gutter VIII,
resigned Sept Is. II is also rurnorec
that George j. Charlton, at pre.en
general passenger agent of the Alto,
and Glover Leaf, is to become pas
senger traffic manager Of the system
with Robert j. McKay, now assistan
general passenger agent, as genera
passenger agent.
What viii Local Effect Be?
Just in what ways this merger, wltc1
seems assured, will affect the oper
alton and general local conditions 0
the Iowa Central, can no more than b
guessed at by local officials of the com
pany. That it is the apparent purpos
of the merger to operate the merge
lines as a trunk system, there can b
little doubt, since economy in operatio
would doubtless point that wa,
Whether this would affect this city. in
lsofar as the shops is concerned. ca.
mot be foretold, but that it is very like
l1y to result in marked improvement
In the physical condition and the I'D
Moulding of the road, is reasonable t
fpresume.
