RAILROADS NOT AGAINST
PHYSICAL VALUATION
But They Believe There Should
Be Better instrument Than
Bill Now Pending.

Railroad officials We're heard before a
lette-Adamson bill TO have the interstate
valuation Of railroads to determine q
basis for rate making. The committee
had some experts on hand to hear their
testimony. The railroad men declared
they were not opposed to physical valua-
tion. but wanted to see the bill improved.
Frank Trumbell, chairman of the board
of tile Chesapeake and Ohio and also Of
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas and
Union Pacific, suggested that instead of
requiring the interstate commerce COM
mission to inquire into the Original cost
of a railroad as the basis Of its value thai
cretion.
Records of Roads Destroyed.
He said it would be impossible 10 get at
the original cost of some railroads lie
told OF the destruction Of the Baltimore
and Ohio records in the Baltimore fire
and the Southern Pacifes re1Ords i'm the
San Francisco fire.
President l.. F. Loree of the Delaware
and Hudson urged that the magnitude OF
the task required that the commission
the law than the bill provided.
Proposes Valuation Board.
He suggested that the commission be
directed to create a railway valuation
boar of nine members to assist 1t, three
to he selected by the commission. three
to be nominated by the American Railway
Association. one by the chief Of engineers
Of the United States Army, one by the
chief of the bureau o; steam engineering
of tEe United States Army, one by the
the president OF the American Society OF
Civil Engineers.
r. A. Delano. president and receiver
of the Wabash, declared the only benefi,
railways hoped to gain by the valuation
was Ito allay the public feeling that rail-
road property was undervalued.' He
estimated the valuation would cost the
government from $2.5OO.OOO to S;NO.ONt
and the railroads more.

WORK FOR CLOUD sPoTTER
Humble but Indispensable Adjunct Inf
the Process Of Taking Nov
Ing Pictures.

Among the new jobs that modern
life has originated" said statistician,
that Of the cloud spotter Is interest
ing and odd. The cloud spotter
doesn't, of course, make spots on
clouds. No, no. He stand on high
roof with costly field glass and he
continually notifies his employer,
moving picture maker, of the condi-
tion of the heavens.
"You see, for an elaborate moving
picture play steady, uniform light is
essential. The pictures must be taken
all In sunshine or all in clear gray
light. Otherwise they differ. Some
are weak and some strong. They don't
match on the screen. So the cloud
spotter on the roof, searching the
heavens with his glass, studying the
course and velocity of the wind, as
sures his boss OF good half-hour or
hour for photographing moving-pic-
ture play, and thus saves waste Of
films that would otherwise be many
times larger than his frugal salary"
