New Use For
Abandoned Railroads

Bangor, Maine, Dec. 25-An enter
prising native of the state of Maine
has solved the problem of what to do
with an abandoned railroad. Some
moths ago the Bangor and Aroostook
Rilroad discontinued service over it's
twelve-mile branch running from
BrCwnville to Katahdin Iron Works.
Henry Green saw his opportunity.
He started with a small automobile
and an idea. The idea was to fit the
car with flange wheels and make it
run on the unused rails. 1t worked.
He rented the whole branch line
from the railroad company at 500 a
month and started business. Now
traffic is so brisk that he is using a
trailer behind his car.
There is some doubt as to how this
one-man railroad will work in mid
winter, but the proprietor has
attached some sawed off brooms to
the front wheels as n miniature ro-
tary pillow. He thinks this will take
care of snow up to a depth of foot.
If it gets deeper the passengers will
have to help shovel away the drifts.
Years ago there was a flourishing
business in the mining and smelling
of iron at Katahdin Iron Works.
When it was finally abandoned as I'M
profitable the place became a sports
mems resort.

Seek Greater
Development City
Manager Government

Lawrence, KanS., Dec. 26.-Greater
development Of the city manager form
Of government, which. its advocates
point out, centralizes municipal re-
sponsibility and gives the citizens
more service per tax-dollar will be
the object OF the National City Man
ayers Association, which recently
chose the University Of Kansas as its
national headquarters. A monthly
magazine devoted to efficient city ad-
ministration will be one of the meth
DDS used to further this idea in gov
eminent, states John c. Stutz, secre-
tary Of the association.
In 1912, there were two cities with
the manager form of government"
Mr.|Stutz says. "Since that time, PSI
cities in thirty eight states repre-
senting a population of 100000 have
adopted the plan. Among the larger
cities with this form of government
are Cleveland, Akron and Dayton,
Ohio; Houston, Texas; Nashville.
Tenn; Wichita, Kansas; Grand
Rapids and Kalamazoo. Michigan;
Albuquerque, New Mexico; and
Sacramento, Pasadena and Long
Beach, California"
