Railroads to Spend One
Billion Dollars for
. Additions.
TWENTY.NINE MILLIONS
FOR SOUTHERN RAILWAY
Administration Authorizes Vast Sum
to Be Invested in Betterments
and Equipment During Year.

Washington, May 19.-Railroads
under government operation this
year will spend nearly a billion dol
lars for additions, betterments and
equipment, or approximately three
times as much as in any one of the
past three years. .,
Total capital expenditures ap-
proved by the railroad administra-
ton as announced today are $685.
961,318. Of this big sum $440,071,- ;
900 viii be spent for additions and
betterments, such as stations, and
other property improvements; $479,-
$4,000 for equiument-cars and To-
comotives already ordered, through
the railroad administration; and
$lS,203,00O for track extensions.
The figures show the determina-
,tion to let the railroads make any
necessary Improvements which they
had neglected during the last three
years througuh PRINTING tracks to
run down and postponing all pos
asible projects requiring big expen-
/ dithres of capital. It also is shown
that the railroad administration is
not encouraging many extensions of
lines during the war emergency.
Requests Pared Down.
Railroads this year asked much
more than was actually approved,
and the railroad administration elm
mated $349,247,00o or nearly one
fourth of the proposals. In pairing
down the budgets to this extent the
administration made it plain that
most of its decisions might be re-
considered later in the light of any
growing necessity or lack of need of
betterment. In general the trunk
lines, were given authority for i'm
provements and equipment for the
transportation of the great flood of
traffic towards Europe. In many
cases, however, the budgets were
cut sharply.
) Part of the capital will be sup
piled by the government from the
$500, 100000 revolving fund of the
administration, although advances
will be repaid eventually by the in
.dividual roads. Wherever possible,
railroads will finance their own en-
terprises without government aid.
Examination of the roads budgets
. has been directed by Robert S. Low
EFT, chief of the railroad admins
tration's division of capital expen-
ditures, and John Shelton Williams,
In disapproving certain items, Di-
rector General McAdoo adopts the
same policy for railroads which, as
secretary of the treasury, he asks
other business interests to adopt as
a war measure.
