r. II. Sneed, publicity agent for the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, has
issued circular under the authority
of the director general of railroads
which calls attention TO the fact that
the government will not feel bound to
construct any part of a public high
way that approaches one of the rail-
roads unless the parties advancing the
project submits the matter to the pre-
vious consideration OF the federal ad-
ministrator
The circular lays special stress upon
the non essential improvements at
this time, and to the purpose of the
government TO conserve labor and
materials for the immediate and press
ing necessities of the war.
The announcement appears over
the signature of w. G. McAdoo direc-
tor general of railroads, and reads as
follows:
First. Wherever street or road con-
struction and other public improve
ments are Contem plated by the
authorities In any state, county, dis
trfct or municipality. for which a por-
ton of the cost in an amount exceed
ing five hundred dollars (s50o) is to
be charged against any railroad under
ltNtFdl control, the authorities are re
quested TO take the matter up with
the federal management OF the road
directly interested and secure the con-
currence of the railroad admnistra-
ton in advance.
Second. In the event this is not
done the director general will reserve
the right 30 decide whether or not
he will participate in the payment.
Third 1t is not the attitude of the
director general to oppose construc-
ton of this character which is meri-
torious and essential The director
general feels, however, that In the
present stress as to the essential labor
and material supply all work of this
Kind which can be postponed without
injury should not be undertaken. and
