AT funerals all sorts Of liquors were
served. Finally, largely because :he

Avoiding much unseemiy noise he blew

Remarked the crash, recalled the

They sent young Ben to Eastern

Much to his CONSERVATION.
And soon In spite OF hostile looks and

Bead bags he made, got amply

And took in cash aplenty;
They threatened twice to pardon him;

the best condition 1t has been in for
years. Two tractor and grader gangs
are now working on the road. one east
and one west Of the city. The highway
Is being lightly graded, just enough
to take of the rough spots. The work

rain falls the road will again be light

bumps. Little fault can now be found
with the road as far west as the crew

The mire just east Of the Northwest

this spot dried out so work could be
begun it was found that the soil to q

QUESTION OF DEFICIT

Another very important matter from the standpoint of the railroad administra- ton, and also from the standpoint of the public, is this question of the present deficit which the railroad administration IS incurring in operating the railroads Last year we had deficit for the F months of 1918 of s236, GOO 900, and in the first four months of this year we have S250, COG, GOO making a total deficit for + months and four months of 5000, GOO. An explanation, briefly, of the deficit of las year is that we had 12 months of in- creased expenses on a constantly ascend ing scale and only about six months of increased rates, and we also had the worst winter in the history of the coun try and these adverse factors combined. resulted in our revenues being S236, ,oO0, short of our expenses, which, under the act of congress is to be paid by the rail roads during the federal control. Be
 ginning this year. all these expenses which had been growing rapidly ana steadily last year, have reached pracu ally their high level so that we started n January with expenses at probaoly he highest level that they are likely to reach, certainly in the near future. Along with that we had certain drop in bus
 ness due to the fact that hoStilities had erminated, war activities were rapidly
 casing and there was not any immedl'
 ate resumption of business activities. The people were consuming the stores ano materials that had accumulated during the war and were refraining from buy ing new material. That sudden drop Tn business constitutes one of the important reasons for the deficit which we are now c1Ifferip

ferred and the rest of the money, s1.2O0,- 00e, 900, will represent money only tenn porarily tied up under railroad operation under government control, practically all of which will be returned to the govern ment as that operation is wound up.
 The appropriation particularly needed is the s425, ,00o,000 as a working capital and S775.000.0Oo, which will all have been spent for the benefit of the railroads and on their account in improvement of their own property, which, on account of the war conditions, the railroad com panies were unable to provide for them selves.
 WILL BE REPAID
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-06-14

These two items, this $1.2GO, 100000, and this working capital of s425, 100000 will be returned of coui SC, when the government retires from railroad operation and the railroads are turned back to private man. agement, and it will then be necessary for the private management to reimburse he government to that extent of S42500o.

OI01OoDA1O
 MT Hines and party left during the afternoon for Washington While here he stated that he had been making an in- spection of the railroads in the west and south.
 After alluding to the Warrior river and it's improvement and operations, Mir Hines entered into a discussion of the railroad problem. He said in part:
 II want to tell you that the two out standing features of my policy in carry ing out the railroad administration at this time, are, first: To get as much as possible back to the contingency of rail- road service in the pre-war period, and to give even a more steady service than was given up to that time. And in the second place, to accomplish more req sonable economy in carrying out railroad operations under the exceedingly diffI- cult conditions that have been created oy the war.
