The railways can only add 10 their

money. Some improvements should
be made out of earnings, and, 10
permit this. rates should be adj

Nestors will buy new railway securi-
ties freely. This they are indis-
posed TO do under present economic
conditions.
The railways are in need of roll
ing stock and many other facilities,
and some increase will necessarily
be made in 1917. but the increase
will be limited somewhat by the
high prices of material and the very
high wages.

be of much benefit both 10 the car
