The Bureau of Railway Economics

paratiye studies Of railway condi-
tons in the United States and the
principal countries Of Europe. This
relates to the wages paid railway
employees and the cost Of living, and
is based on the latest years for which
comparative data are available.
Salary of Railway Employees
The average daily compensation of
railway employees Of all classes for
the year 1910 was in the United
States, 1928; in the United Kingdom
Sl.05; excluding supplementary al
lowances negIigibly affecting the
average. it was in Pfussia-Hesse 81

lowest paid railway employee in the
United States. the ordinary track
man. receives greater compensa-
ton tnan many OF the railway ems

employees is from two to three times
as high in the United States as in

II 1912 enginemen and firemen in the
United States are compensated at
rates of paw for specific runs that
are two, three and four times as high
as the corresponding rates Oh repre-
sentative English railways. The an
nual compensation Of enginemen in
the United States, as reported by
two representative railway compan-
les. now ranges from S1100 in switch

For Continental Europe official re-
turns in requisite detail are not

Germany to, S424.59. in Austria to

Italy enginemen received in 1908,
salary and allowances included, from
S58l.lO to 1912 70 a year; firemen,
from $4,000 to 475.O5 a year. In
these Continental countries the maxi

after many years of service.
The average annual compensation
'of englnemen in the United States in
1908. on an estimated basis of 300
days service, was 1856; Of firemen

compensation to these employees does
not depend on length Of service.

In Belgium enginemen received in
1907 from S23. 16 TO $3.50 month;
fremen. from $17.37 to S23. Is al

Rents Nearly The Same
The rental of a three or four room

the United States, but in England
and on the Continent it generally
runs from thirty dollars to ninety

With practically all of the money
needed for the guaranteeing of the
aviation meet, with the exception of
about SIS, the work of collecting funds
for this purpose will be resumed this
morning, and it is believed that with
in short time the sum required to
make out the $500 needed will be
raised.
A systematic canvass of the city,
embracing those names not already on
the list, will be made this morning in
order to speedily raise the remaining
amount. The support which has been
given to the movement is gratifying
and shows clearly that the people of
Americus are anxious to witness a
genuine aviation exhibit in their home
city.

ing doves on or near baited field,
and also limits the number of birds
! that an individual can shoot in one
day to forty Heretofore there has
been no limit on the number. Some
gunners have bagged from so to 100
in a days sport on a baited field.
The law has been obeyed, the local
sportsmen say. No baited fields have
drawn the birds in vast numbers and
there has been a corresponding far
less inroad on their numbers than in
past years. In two of the dove shoots
that were held this seasons the gun
ners We're stationed in a pea field
from which the crop had largely not
been taken. Such a field, where
crop has not been gathered, making
natural feeding ground for the birds,
does not come within the restriction of
the law. 1t is not an artificially bait
ed field, although it draws the birds
just as effectively as one would.
At one shoot near Plains this sea-
son it is said that probably thous-
and birds were killed, and at another
at Cobb some seven to eight hundred
are claimed to have fallen before the
sure aim of the company of gunners
gathered for the. slaughter But ex-
perienced sportsmen say that the to-
tai number of doves killed in Sumter,
and probably adjoining counties, dur
ing the season ended yesterday, was
far less than in former seasons. The
birds were plentiful, but the laws
prohibitions saved them.

Will ENLARGE
QUARTERS At
THE CITY HALL
PLANS ARE TO Be REVISED
So That They viii Include
Third Floor Also

Even more radical changes than at
first proposed are to be made in re-
modelling the city hall, as was decided
upon at the recent meeting of the
committee on building, of which AL
derman Lee Council is chairman.
1t was at first proposed to restrict
these Improvements entirely to the
second floor of the building, making
the present council chamber into
three offices to be used by the clerk,
city engineer and the mayor. while
the clerks present office, together with
the adjacent corridor, were to be made
into new council chamber.
Under the new plans, however, the
third floor will be renovated and made
into still larger and more spacious
council chamber, while the city engi-
neer's office will be left intact, and
the space occupied by the present
council chamber will be made into Of
fees for the mayor and city clerk Pro-
vision will also be made for the re-
building of the vault used for the
storage of city records, whereby this
part of the city hall equipment will be
moved from beneath the water tower
! and this sources of constant annoy
ance removed.
1t was decided recently when the
contracts for the various divisions of
the work were taken up that it would
be far better to make use of the
third floor of the city hall building,
which is now little more than a recep-
tacle for trash and other things, for
spacious council chamber and audito-
| rum and &c equip it properly for sucn
use. No public auditorium is now
available for public meetings. as was
pointed out by Mr.. Council, but the
equipment of the council chamber as
suggested would go far toward rene

March s, next Wednesday, has been
definitely decided upon as the day up
on which the meet will occur. If the
remainder of the money needed to
guarantee the coming of Aviator Fow-
Ter is raised early today Manager
Young has announced that he will al
once wire Fowler to come Immediately
to Americus, so that in that event the
famous aviator will reach here Sat
urday and spend the intervening time
here, where his machine and himself
will be an object of interest.
There is no longer any doubt tha
the exhibit will be held, as the re
naming funds should be raised in &

the holding of the meet on Wednesday

GEORGlA'S new GAME LAW and THE
WEATHER CONDITIONS GIVEN CRED.
1T BY The LOCAL SPORTSMEN

/ 1T has been fine bird season so
far as the plentifulness of the birds
was concerned said Mr.. ]. w. High
tower yesterday in discussing the
season just ending Mr.. Hightower
was preparing then to take to the
fields for the last possible under the
new Georgia game law.
Several things conspired to make il
a good game season." continued this
enthusiastic gunner "To begin with
the spring and summer were admira-
bly, adapted for the needs of the birds.
During the breeding season the wealth
er was all that could be desired for
that purpose Then when the game
season opened the law became effect
i've in its provisions and held up the
destruction of the game. The weather
soon set in against the sportsmen. and
as we all know, since December 20
there have been more day on which
one could not shoot than days ON
which one could enjoy the sport. AS
result there are probably far more
birds left over than has been the
case in a number of years Given
good breeding weather ahead and I
should say next winter should find an
unusually large supply of quail and
doves.
The new game law" continued MFR.
Hightower, has worked admirably. 1t
has been as effective as it's friends
claimed it would be. So far as this
immediate section is concerned l can
say that the law has had the support
of the sportsmen. They have obeyed
it and sought to have it enforced.
Game Warden McMath too has been
on his job in fine shape While he has
not had to make many cases the mere
fact that he is known to be intent on
enforcing the law, regardless of per-
sons, and that prosecution means
fines, has had very deterrent effect
on those who might otherwise be In
clined to disobey the laws provis-
ions.
81 have found nothing in the law
that needed a change, nor have l any
suggestions to make for its improve
ment 1t seems to be working all
right, and there is always danger in
starting in to amend a law of this
kind. l believe the sportsmen gener-
ally of Sumter and adjacent counties,
while it may have inconvenienced
them to some extent, heartily endorse
the movement that brought about the
speedily restore game to it's former
status in this section. I look forward
to great season next winter

1t was with genuine appreciation
that the playgoers of the city witness

lines and the various situations with
an ease and finish that approached
that of professional actors. The pro-
duction of the play by local talent was
one of the social events of the season
and one that was enjoyed thoroughly

In every detail the play was pleas
