into some torl OF harmony the opinions OF
the experts IN paving al over the country
20 that every city could set the benefit OF
the experience Of the others. It has been
found by city engineers that although the
conditions IN every town are IN some ways
unique there are certain rules that can be
laid down In general for the proper methods
of laying various kinds o. paving Each
committee " the association is expected 10
formulate such rules and 10 prepare also
standards for various modifying conditions
From the standard Information the indi-
udual paving engineer can study out his
own problem and modify Il according to
his own observations.
The committees are headed By men Of
national reputation in their lines and the
fact that Omaha has two representatives
on the asphalt committee speaks well for
Omaha engineers. Mr. Craig has had long
experence in dealing with various pave
ments as assistant city engineer Of Omaha
and as head Of that department.

Passenger Rate War
from Chicago to New
York City is Averted
Michigan Central and Panhandle
Abandon Differentials Following
Ultimatum from Roads.

CHICAGo. Dec. 1.--First-class passenger
fare between chicago and New York over
the Michigan Central and the Panhandle
routes WIN be $40 after January Is. accord
ing to sdviees received here late today
subsequent to a secret meeting in New
York between representatives Of these
roads and OF the Erie. wabash and Grand
Trunk. This LAYS to rest the specter Of q
rate war.
This action by the two routes which here
tof0re have enjoyed differential rate Of
SIC for the Michigan Central and SIS on
the Panhandle followed open threats OF
another rate war instigated by the Erie,
Wabash and Grand Trunk
An official Of one OF the roads involved
said
! THE Michigan Central and Panhandle
were entitled to the privilege Of lower
fares in our opinion so long az their serv-
Ice was curtalled by ferries When their
service was efficient as the roads charging
$40 the three so-oslled Insurgents claimed
they ought to have the added inducement
Of low fare removed. This our telegram
says, was agreed to. There will be no
rate war"
NEW YORK. Dec. 1--Final action on
New Yorlx-to Chicago passenger rates was
taken today by the roads interested at a
conference in the rooms Of the Trunk Line
association. The Erie. the Grand Trunk
and the Wabash served notice that unless
the Pennsylvania and the New York Cen
trail abandoned the differential rates which
they have hitherto granted on the Pan
handle and the Michigan Central routes, a
rate war would be declared. The threat
was not only frank but specific, and
presaged a cut more extreme than outlined
in Chicago dispatches.
