Washington, Dec. 2s-The great
American railroads leased and oDer-
ated by the government, came into
existence at noon today.
War freight now has the right Of
way. The railroad war board CON
ferred with Secretary McAdoo regard
ing the details of operation to fol-
low the transfer. McAdoo announced
the plans to slice millions Of useless
ly spent dollars from the pay rolls.
Fabulous presidents salaries will
tumble down. The elaborate staff Of
freight solicitors will be Topped off.
Secretary McAdoo has placed the
existing war board and private rail
road executives in charge Of the tenn
porary operation Of the nations lines.
This was the only announcement fol-
lowing the conference between Nc
Adoo and the executives. The first
economy stroke was the dismissal of
the publicity bureau
The director general will have au-
thority to decide whether the gov
ernment shall also assume oreratioa
and control of the express companies
President Wilson will recommend
to congress that the railroads be
guaranteed the average net income
Of the three eyars ending June 30
1917, but any railroad may abide by
its constitutional right and refuse to
accept this system. In that case the
question will pass to an arbitratine
body, the precise nature Of which is
to be determined by congress.

TOINSPECT
PARK SITE
Grounds Owned By City Recommended as
Location; Would Purchase 100 Acres
More, Favor Race Track

After passing over the routine busi-
ness last night the city dads took up
the discussion relative to the park
bonds. The recommendation of the
mayor in which he spoke Of the two
plats Of ground owned by the city as
being good places upon and about
which the park and fair grounds
could be located opened the way for
others and the general opinion seem
ed to be that the ground located near
the water works would be the best
place for the park and fair grounds,
1t was pointed out that in order
to start a park with trees would re-
quire some time and that good shade
trees could be found on the ground
mentioned 1t was the opinion Of the
council that abount one hundred
acres would have to be purchased
which adjoins the plat owned by the
citys land. This would probably cost
$4,000, it was thought.
City Grounds Recommended.
MIR. Kayser, who was appointed by
the mayor to serve on the park board
committee, recommended that two or
three places be selected by the coun-
ell and then let the people express
their choice of the various places
when the bond election is called, but
leaving it to the council in making
the final settlement
1t was decided that the entire city
council and the men who We're ap-
pointed on a committee some time
ago to work with the council in the
matter, make an inspection trip to all
Of the places that have been spoken
Of as suitable for the location of the
park and fair grounds. All Of the
members of the council have been
asked to meet at the city hall Tues
day morning at 10 o'clock when cars
win be provided and an inspection
tour win be made Of the various plac-
es mentioned. The members of the
council that were present last night
expressed their opinion as being in
favor Of race track in connection
with the fair grounds.
Insure Fire Truck.
The mayor called the attention o.
the council that no insurance wa'
now being carried on the large fir'
truck and asked for a motion to the
effect that insurance be taken ou
on it. A motion was promptly made
/ and carried empowering the treasur
. er to take out six thousand dollar
insurance on the truck.
