aRent Free Houses.

At Llewelyn, Pa, there are 80 empty
houses. which for years have stood un-
tenanted, a veritable deserted village
in the beautiful valley OF the West
Branch of Chester creek Even the
war with its demands, failed to repeo-
pie the town. About month ago some
of the houses were rented and jitney
line was established between the town
and Chester. Still there remained 80
houses that were fast going into decay
by reason Of not being occupied. The
owners conceived the idea of having
the properties fixed up by giving them
rent free to workmen who would repair
them and take care of them. The only
stipulations made in selecting tenants
are that they be respectable and thrift
ty people who will take pride In main
tanning and improving the houses and
that they agree to make all repairs st

FREIGHT CONGESTION
LAID TO TERMINAL LACK
Changing Situation Brought About
by Use of Motor Truck Not
Met Adequately.

"Freight congestion is, in reality
terminal congestion" says r. E. Full
ton, vice president of the Interna-
tional Motor Company.
"The present railroad situation
vividly demonstrates that the root OF
the much discussed railroad made
uuacy lies more in the lack OF proper
| terminal facilities than 1T does In the
| lack of freight cars. 1t further proved
| that the motor truck, properly used
| in conjunction with the railroad ter
| minals, can relieve terminal congeS-
! ton and increase the productivity. OF
each unit of the railroads rolling
stock.
although it is estimated that the
railroads of this country now need
| 500 900 more freight cars it is obvious
that, if this number of cars were put
into service under existing terminal
conditions, the CONFUSION Woulo only
be increased.
No Provision for Trucks.
unfortunately, the majority of
railroad terminals were constructed
in the days of horse drawn highway
Transportation facilities, and no pro-
vision was made for the advent of the
motor truck.
"At that time it was necessary for
the railroads to bring their freight
within a, radius of a days team haul
of it's final destination, and distance
considerably less than can now be
covered by motor truck.
'Cities have grown and traffic has
increased but the terminals have re-
mained practically unchanged as far
as distribution radius is, concerned.
AS a result, the railroads are still
attempting to operate on a horse
drawn basis of ultimate distribution
and consequently freight piles up in
the yards and the tracks are filled
with trains awaiting their turn to be
unlcaded.
Take Over Short Haul.
"The motor truck is now a perma-
nent supplement to the railroads and
has proved it's capacity to ,ake over
the short haul traffic that has de-
veloped to be time wasting and M
profitable business for the railroad.
By feeding" short haul shipments
to the main line traffic it has re-
leased thousands of cars for long dis
tance transportation. and has done
much toward relieving congestion at
the terminals.
But the development of this CO.
operative relation between the rail-
road and the motor truck is still in
its infant stages 1t is but natural
to expect that before long the rail-
be reorganized and adapted to obtain
the full benefits offered by the motor
truck.
'"The sooner we lend our energies
to achieving a possibility instead of
throwing up our hands in despair and
