F INTEREST TO RAILROADERS|

TOPHILADELPHIA
Chambersburg Hears of Cum
berland Valley Changes;
Await Confirmation

Reports in railroad circles to-day
If correct. will bring a number of
changes at Chambersburg. 1t was
announced that the car record and
other accountant departments would
be removed to Broad street station,
Philadelphia. President NJ. c. Ken
nedy of the Cumberland Valley has
been in Washington, ID. c., several
days on war business and the re-
ports have not been officially con-
firmed. The Franklin Repository, of
Chambersburg yesterday printed the
following:
The Car Recorders office of the
Cumberland Valley Railroad. in
which are located William L Heyser
car recorder, and his force of mon,
will be moved bodily to Philadel-
phia and placed in some portion of
the office building of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.
Other Charges Probable
This means, unless q change in
plans is made. that Chambersburg
may lose the families of our best
people and the, news will be re-
gretted very much by all the COM
munity.
Just why the change is to be
IDENTIFY for motives of economy,
rather than increased efficiency.
This is not the worst of il, either
either for we are informed that
that other offices of the Cumber-
land Valley Railroad will also be
moved bodily to Philadelphia and at
an early date at that.
Gossip Here
"Just what offices may be so
changed we are not informed, at
least not certainly enough for pub
lication."
The Cumberland Valley Railroad
is an important branch of the
Pennsy, but has been conducting all
its business at Chambersburg at
which place a large building was
erected some time ago. 1t is the
belief here that the probable ap-
pointment of President Kennedy to
duty in France has some connection
with the removal of the offices. 1t
s also said that sometime ago a
move was started to concentrate all
car record offices in Philadelphia.
