In about every eighth car
something is left that is worth

from overails to watch chains,

AS superintendent of the lost
articles department of the rail-.

thousands of articles of varying

Of the members of the crews Of
the street cars in his system.
Mr.. Kaiser's conclusions are
based upon records kept during
his tenure of office since 1906.
During this time, when tens Of
thousands Of pieces of property
have been turned in, there have
bean only nine instances where
charges Of dishonesty against EN-.
ployes have been sufficiently
strong to result In discharge. and
only one incident Is on record Of
q conductor actually proved guilty
OF having retained for his per-
sonal use an article found on his
car. According to regulations. all
property left In the cars must be
sent to Mr.. Kaiser's office.
In some cases not only agents
Of the company but city detec-
tives as well have been. called m
to fix responsibility. but even the
latter have seldom been able to
build up a case sufficiently strong
to merit prosecution. A suffi.
ciently strong circumstantial case
operates to the detriment OF the
employees, but even these have
been few.
FINDERS KEEPERS.
One Of the strongest actual ana
potential factors in the encourage
ment Of honesty among the COM
pany's attaches is the system Of
ultimate disposition Of all property
turned over after It has been
found ownerless on the trans.
