DEFICIT
FOR JANUARY BIG
Back Pay for Mail Makes Actual Oper-
ating Loss S11,000,000
For the Month.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Net oper
ting income of the railroads under govern
ment control in January fell to sll ,000,0 600,
due to the unusually severe weather and
the coal strike There was deficit of S64,
900 compared with the average monthly
rental paid by the government for the
properties, but an unexpected S53,000,000
accruing from back mail pay, under a de
cision of the interstate commerce commits
sion reduced the actual loss to Sll,000,000.
The result of the January operations
does not increase the estimated excess of
expenses over income for the 26 months
of federal control contained in Director
General Illness report to President Will
son, as he allowed for the full S64 000,-
600 operating loss in compiling that total.
Despite bad conditions during the month,
Mr.. Hines asserted in a statement last
night that very heavy tonnage was han
died compared with previous years and the
average train load showed a gratifying IN
crease over January of the three proceed
ing years.

Tax Collector Fred Cressy, who was
elected in town meeting yesterday, plans
to have desk in the insurance office of

pected that the village and school district
each will appoint tax collector to sue
ceed Mr.. Shumway.
The selectmen have not organized since
the meeting yesterday, but they prob
ably will do so at their regular meeting
Saturday night. There are several ap-
pointive offices to be filled by them un-
