All W. NJ. Repair Shops Now Run
Hinder T,aasa-


Following up the policy tentatively
adopted early in the year of letting
out it's various kinds of work by con-
tract, the Western Maryland Railway
has leased all it's repair shops to the
Dickson Construction and Repair Com
pany, of Youngstown, Ohio, except
those in Baltimore which it leased to
another contractor in January.
This is the same company which
early this month contracted for all the
maintenance of way work of the rail
way company.
The shops leased are those at Ha-
gerstown, which are the company's
main shops; at Cumberland, Connells-
vile and Hanover, Pa, employing al
together between 800 and 1000 men.
The contracting company takes over
the shops today and will do all the
company's repair work thereafter.
Maxwell c. Byers, president of the
Western Maryland, said this contract
takes care of all the remainder of the
company's work that it can have done
by outside contracts. The Dickson
company is doing its maintenance of
way work with the same force that
formerly did it for the railway COM
pany, but at considerably lower wages.
Letting these various works out to
contractors" said Mr.. Byers, "has
been found the only way by which we
can reduce our operating expenses to
such a point as to warrant reductions
in freight and passenger rates. The
Interstate Commerce Commission has
been holding hearings to ascertain
whether rates can be reduced, and the
general impression of those who have
attended the hearings is that the COM
mission will not find any general re-
auctions warranted by the present
costs of operations"

For New MotOrtruck Tax.

Motor Vehicles Commissioner Baugh-
man was overruled at Annapolis last
week by the Senate Committee on Judi
cial Proceedings when it reported favor
ably Senator Sasscer's bill to establish
a new license rate of $50 for solid-tire
motor vehicles of not more than one
and one-half tons capacity.
The rate for trucks of not more than
one ton is $40 and the next rate is $40
for trucks carrying not more than two
tons.
Senator Sasscer thinks there should
be an intermediate rate. Commission
err Baughman's objection was that the
new rate would make too many CLASH
fications.
