LIMIT OF NEW HAVEN ROAD
President Elliott Says the System Temporarily Has Reached Capacity for Carrying Business-Creat Volume of Business and the Storms Have Brought Great Conges- tion-New Engines and Cars, Costing $150o,O0o, Ordered.

Howard Elliott, president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, has sent this letter to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Public Utilities commissions of Con- necticut and Rhode Island and the public service commissions of MasSa- chusetts and New York, stating exact ly the situation of the New Haven as to freight congestion and other mat ters of timely interest:
 I desire to submit to you on behalf of the New Haven company and it's allied lines a statement about present conditions due to congestion of bus mess on it's own lines, congestion in and around New York harbor and on many of it's connecting lines, conditions which have been made much worse Dy the great storm of December 13-14 which seriously reduced the ability of the railroads to give a maximum amount of service with the facilities at hand; and by the storm of De- cemher 26, which did much damage and destroyed and retarded the work of restoring wire communication by telegraph and telephone, and of clear ing the road of delayed freight. Prior to the great storm of December 13-E4 the New Haven road, with facilities that in many places are wholly made quate, had been doing the largest vol ume of business in its history and has been performing a task in handling that business which is taxing its phy- Sical facilities. The volume of bus mess may be evidenced by the follow ing figures showing the number of cars of freight loaded locally on New Haven rails and the number of loaded cars received from connections for the first eight days of a number of months in 1915, as compared with the same eight days in the same months in 1914

oyOOO "OTe FEelSRL NGfS ms year.
 The New Haven road has on it's rails today nearly 46,0C0 freight cars, which is about 5000 cars more than it had a year ago, and 12,0O0 more than in December, 1913. The result is that its tracks, terminals and other faciE
 ties are congested at many places There are more than T., coo loaded cars awaiting the discharge of their freight but the owners of the freight are hay ing some of the same difficulty that
 the New Haven is having because their own facilities are inadequate in
 places and cars are not released promptly. Today, on account of storms and congestion, connecting lines have more than 5000 loads for delivery,
 mostly at New York and via the POughkeepsie bridge, as soon as this company can handle them.
 It is interesting to note that tEe
 New Haven, with 4.535 miles of tracks. including main line running tracks, side tracks and yards. had during the first eight days of December, 50.- GIT new loads, while the C. E. & Q. system, extending through ten states, with 1869 miles of trackage. during l the same week had 4S,230 cars. These l figures indicate how large the New England freight business is. In adii- l tion, the passenger train service is much heavier than on a railroad like | the c. E. & O. and makes the problem | of furnishing transportation in suffi 1 cient quantity and of satisfactory | quality under the present unusual and 1 COngested conditions that much more 1 difficult.
 $5,ooo,ooo for Improvements. | For reasons that need not be out | lined in this letter, the New Haver | has not been able to add materially | to its facilities during the last few
 years, particularly during the last | two. when the company has been so ing through period of depression, III. vestigation, readjustment and recon. struction of it's financial and corporate | status. Improvements have been au. | thCrized, not inCludin" equipment l which are being made as rapidly d: men, material and weather will per.
