st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 2.-Threc bill
lion dollars must be spent by the rail-
roads of the United States within the
next few years to provide first class
passenger and freight facilities" was
declaration made by Howard Elliott,
president of the Northern Pacific rail-
road, who came from New York for
conferences with prominent railroad
officials. Difficult and serious as Is
the plight of the railroads, and of the
owners of $2O,000,000,000 worth of
railroad property, it is not more seri-
Gus than the condition facing the
country" said Mr.. Elliott.
Transportation facilities must, he
made available not only for the pres
ent volume of business, but for the
Increases that progressively nation
like the United States needs each year.
"Since the government took control
only 100000 new freight cars have
been bought, so that at the end of
1919 there were not more than 3,4OO,-
900 freight cars in the country slight
ly more than in 1915. 1t is not too
much to say that probably S3,OOO,OOO,-
900 should be spent for cars, engines
and shop facilities by American rail-
roads within the next few years if the
country's transportation needs are to
be met"
Mr.. Elliott did not make any an
nouncement regarding reports circu-
lated in railroad quarters here that
the leading roads of the country were
planning to make important state
ments regarding broadened passenger
services when private ownership is re-
stored There have been reports that
schedules to the Pacific, via various
routes, are to be shortened, and that
trains de luxe and extra fare trains
will be put into service.
