Freight Auditing Work.
Army of Clerks to Handle Santa
Fe Bills.

MANY FORMS USED

Auditing freight bills is an import
ant part of railroad work, requiring
the services of a small army of clerks.
There are nearly 400 people employed
in the freight auditing department of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail-
way company. They check the millions
of bills issued from the 2,100 stations
on the Santa Fe. and from the stations
on connecting lines. In so great a
volume of freight business as that
handled by the Santa Fe, there are
sure to be some mistakes. When a
mistake is found in favor of the com
pany, a statement Of the amount is
sent to the shipper If the mistake is
in the shippers favor, the company
sends him a draft. without waiting for
him to put in a claim.
The waybill and the bill of lading
are the two documents upon which all
the vast fabric of railway freight re-
ports is founded, says J. F. farrell,
publicity agent in the Red Ball" The
waybill plays the larger part by far.
Ordinarily 1t is a printed form on
tough paper to stand the many hard
knocks it receives, both indoors and
out. before it is safely filed away 1t
is Az inches wide by Is inches long.
On its back is printed in detail vari-
Gus instructions for its use. 1t is the
connecting link between the point from
which the goods are shipped and the
point of delivery.
1t is an itemized statement of each
consignment. Where the contents of a
car are all being shipped to the same
point, but to several different consign-
ors, there will be several bills, but if
the carload is for only consignor, only
one waybill is used.
Each car must have at least one
waybiII 1t forms the initial blank in
the system Of freight accounts, as the
check does in bank accounts. It is an
order on the freight conductor to carry
the property and an evidence that the
transaction has been recorded.
Each waybill must be numbered by
the agent who issues 1t. These num-
bers generally run consecutively begin
ming each month with number one. If
a carload of freight is loaded at a point
where there are no track scales, the
estimated weight is inserted by the
forwarding agent. The car is then
weighed at the first weighing point
and the actual gross, tare and net
weights are entered
PerishabIe freight, ore, coal, coke and
other things that can be moved by

SHOULD WORK FOR BRIDGE.

New Dreams, La, Aug. 10, 1911.
To the Editor, st. Tammany Farmer:
The people of ST. Tammany parish
should exert every effort to build
the bridge across the Lake Pontchar-
train, because the immense stimulus
it will give to property value, Will
be felt at once. 1t will turn the tide
of immigration and investment to
st Tammany long before the con-
struction of the bridge will begin.
Even now, investors are coming
into the parish in the hope of get
ting in on the ground floor; how
much greater will the rush be when
it is a certainty that the bridge
will be built. The whole parish is
interested in this great enterprise.
The most remote farmer will bene-
fit from it in the increase value OF
his land.
The farmer where lands be little
remote for the town benefits by the
increased values of lands near the
town because as long as these lands
are cheap, the farmers lands must
be cheaper.
If this bridge is built, real estate
values will be increased over ten
times what they are now. This parish
has a great future before it. We
must work hard to advance it along
the highway of progress. We have
done well in the last ten years, but
We must not be satisfied with what
we have done, but go ahead and do
more. With the bridge built and a
system of good roads radiating in
every direction from Covington. We
will have a population of $4,000
people in the next year.
Yours for the bridge,
H, L, GARLAND.
