ILLINOIS CENTRAL
BREAKS ALL RECORDS

Official reports just issued by the
management of the Illinois Central
Railroad shows that more freight was
hauled by its lines during August
han in any previous month in the
history Of the road
In that month, the number Of net
ton miles of freight moved over the
lines reached 1,602,091 900, an in
crease Of 357 100000 tons, or % per
cent. over the movement in August,
1919. 1t was an increase of 285, 028,-
600 tons, or % per cent over the
movement in February. 1920 the tlnaI
month Of government control
The cooperation between the pa
irons of the Illinois Central and the
railroad men in loading cars more
heavily, cutting down the time, which
cars remain idle in the hands Of ship
pers and consignees while loading and
unloading, and speeding up car
movement generally, was largely re-
sponsible for this record, according to
the report, But much credit is given
70 the Illinois Central management
BY shippers because Of the road hav-
ing increased its efficiency.
The average load of all carload
shipments made on the road during
August was 303 tons, compared with
28.8 tons in February, 1920, and 26.4
tons in August 1919.
The railroads Of the country are
making strenuous efforts to increase
Ehe average movement per day Of all
the lines to 80 miles In August the
freight cars on the Illinois Central
system were moved at an average Of
421 miles daily, as compared with
1872 miles in February, and 1852 miles
in August, 1919
In making this report Of the Aug
ust record, the Illinois Central does
not represent that its improved SER
vice is more remarkable than that of
other roads, but presents its figures,
the management believing them indi-
catiye of the general improvement in
the transportation situation.
It is announced by the Illinois Cen
trail that second track from Clinton,
ILL.,, to Heyworth, Ill. distance of
eight miles, will be completed about
November 1, at cost Of 100000.
The second track which the company
is constructing from Amboy, ILL.,. to
