3 so much equipment could not be-
delNered'in such short time" said Di-
rector PaFmalee of the bureau of rail-
road economics. There would be no
point in placing orders for such a
huge amount OF equipment far in adj
vance of actual delivery. Most plants
for the manufacture of equipment now
have enough orders to keep them busy
for the remainder of 1920.
REPAIR of equipment will be the
big item of expenditure for the re-
mainder of the year. This is the
quickest way to decrease the car
