NEW HAVEN ROAD
 sEEks FURTHER ECONOMIES
Too Many Freight Cars Are Tied Up Il Now.

Not only will the New York. New Haven & Hartford railroad attain cer tain economies and improvement in operating condisions sna through the elm. elim on June %, but 1t is seeking similar results through rearrangement of freight trains. says the Boston News Bureau. -'-s
 Freight service to some points is being curtailed and to others in- creased. and in many instances freight trains are being consolidated, giving some small localities one freight day whre formerly they had two.
 The railroads are striving in the direction of heavier loading in order to conserve supply of freight cars. They are seeking to move only full railroads war board has recommends ed that cars be loaded 10 per cent. in excess of marked capacity.
 The New Haven has comprehensive embargoes in effect on many classes of freight from connecting lines, with the exception of freight consigned to or for use of the United States gov- ernment, it's allies or the American Red Cross society. Perishabie freight and livestock, foodstuffs, copper, smeiter. zinc, crucibies, nursery stock, coal, etc-in shore essential mater ials and products-will be accepted only when cars are loaded to the marked or practical carrying capacity of the car.
 The New Haven lines are still much congested, a fact which accounts for the embargoes. A week ago there were 11,629 freight cars standing on side tracks waiting to be unloaded, a figure regarded as altogether too nigh. While there was an improvement shown a few weeks ago, the number of cars tied up recently has been on the in crease. At the worst of the congestion in the winter when stors were adding their quota of interference with traf- fic, the number of cars waiting to be unloaded did not get much above 13,- 900 on the system.
 It is gratifying to note, however, that the company's coal position. and that of the New England to a certain ex- tent has undergone improvement There are now some 400 coal cars moving between the mines and points on the road carrying company coal The situation is such they now have to be utilized for the company's own needs, but coal is moving more freely and when the companys requirements are provided for the future more of these cars will be available for the car rying of coal for commercial uses. The New Haven now has possibly two months supply of coal on hand.
 It is figured that the passenger train curtailment recently put into effect will mean a reduction of about 5000 train miles a day or between 100000 and 1,700,0 ,000 train miles a year The saving in coal should be around 105, ,00O tons per annum. Some other saving will be achieved through the consoli- datioD of freight trains.
