the work of the division of capital
expenditures. The director of the
latter division. T. c. Powell. has re
signed to become vice president OF
the Erie Railroad Company. Mr.
Powell was also chairman of the
ministration.

will be filled by the division of law,

to announcement, until the work OF
the Railroad Administration is COM

was said.
The divisions which will remain In
active operation after March 1 in con-
nection with the closing OF the work
of the Railroad Administration are
those of liquidation, law, accounting

not conflict with the work of the
liquidation division, which is charged
with the work of the division or
capital expenditures.
Divisions to Cease.
The following divisions will cease
their work on March /: Purchases,
public service, labor and operations.
While there have been several res
ignations of division heads of the
Railroad Administration since Janu-
ary l, 1920, the announcement of the
creation of the division of liquidation
claims is held to be the first definite
step taken by the Railroad Admins
tration toward return OF the roads.
While actual purchasing for railroad
needs will cease with the termination
of federal control, settlement of
claims will require the attention of
many of the purchasing units.
