AUDITING BY CONDUCTORS.
Atlantic Coast lime Railroad Adopts
New System.

AAc '~VaSt AAne Eto1lrOaQ ADOPTS
New System.
Charleston. Jan. 2o.-A system Of
auditing by the conductors of the At
iantic Coast Line Railroads passeng-
er trains has been inaugurated by the
Of the railroad company.
A stan OF auditors, 1t is stated, have
been appointed on the various divis-
ions OF the railroad system and these
are required to check up the conduc-
tors Of the trains as they, board the
trains at any time or place.
= The system is different from that
adopted by the Southern Railway a
few years ago. when collectors wore
placed on the passenger trains and did
all OF the collecting from the pas
sengers and left only the responsibility
OF running the train to the conductors.
1t Is stated that the Atlantic Coast
Lines system Of auditing only requires
the conductors to have their reports
made up to the minute. or to be in a
position to tell as soon as an auditor
boards a train how many passengers,
tickets, passes and fares he has.
The system was adopted Monday.
