Director Hines Is Ready
With New Budget
for Congress
CONTINUED CONTRO OIL

New Loan" TO Carriers
Would Make Total of
Billion Dollars

Washington, Jan. 15--The railroad
administration, Director General Walker
d. Hines announces. is preparing TO ask
Congress for another revolving fund of
$500, 900, 900. to be used in financing
the program of railroad improvements
and betterments planned by the Gov
ernment.
This program. already begun, calls for
a total of authorized capital expendi-
lures, which must he provided for for
the years OF 1918 and 1919, of Sl,6"0-
600. Zoo, and the director general esti-
mates that the minimum additional
budgets for 1919 must be S350,o0o,Oo0.
In discussing his intention TO request
new fund which would bring the total
Appropriated by Congress to the rail-
road administration to Sl,000,0OO.00O,
the director general made 1t clear that
the money would be expended solely for
railroad improvements and new equip
nent and would be repaid by the rail
roads with interest. In tho main, it
amounts. Mr.. Hines explained, to a loan
to the railroad companies at the pre-
vailing interest rates of per cent.
1T should be plainly understood he
added. that none of this fund is to be
use6 by the railroad administration to
pay the deficit Of nearly 100000, 900 in
Cured by the war emergency operation
OF the ra lroads in 1918.
THE making of the appropriation does
not mean that the Government loses the
money"
Although nothing relating TO the char
acter of future control of the railroads
now being considered in Congress. ap-
peared in the statement authorized by
Mr.. Hines. his argument for an addi-
tional appropriation IS taken 10 mean
that the railroad administration con-
templates continued Government opera
ton of the roads at least through 1919
and part OF 1920.
In some sources also the action was
taken as indication of definite abandon
ment by the Government of former Di-
rector General McAdoos threat to
turn the roads back to private operation
Immediately, if Congress did not provide
for extension of Federal control for five
years.
