situation. "At present there is prob

than at any time within the present
generation. But the general cessa-
tion of construction activities in the
past three or four years, during which
time the population and the indus
tries of the country have been stead
lily growing, the recent favorable ac.
tion of the interstate commerce COM
mission in the rate advance case, in
dicating greater realization of the
needs of the roads on the part of this
and other commissions, and the
changing public sentiment, as indicat-
ed in the notification of the Missouri
full crew law by a referendum vote,
indicate that the coming year may
be one of considerably increased ac-
tiyity along the construction lines.
More work than ever before remains
to be done which the railways desire
to undertake whenever they are in a
position to obtain the necessary funds
at reasonable rates"
