Pennsylvania Efficiency

Prompt initiative and energy
commensurate with the greatest railroad
corporation in the world have been
shown by the Pennsylvania in the
rnarvelously rapid restoration of the
Broad Street Station to public use. By
tomorrow evening it is expected a
nearly normal tide Of travel will be
pas ing thr rough the main building No
one who did not view the appalling
devastation wrought in the gigantic
trainshed by thefire can appreciate the
wonderful achievement in reconstruct
ing the tracks and latforrns in three or
four days.
Co ordination Of engineering skill and
direction appear to have risen superior
to an emergency that could scarcel
have been foreseen. AT a time when
a shortage of both labor and materials
for construction might have been
supposed to hamper the operations,
the. Pennsylvania Railroad has been
able to mobilize its resources in wor <
men and assemble enormous quantities
Of lumber, iron. steel, rails and
supplies. Thereby the
maximum of work is pushing night
and day to the end that there may be a
minimum of public inconvenience.
Not only Philadelphia, but the mill
ions of people who are served ny i ain
arteries of travel which converge at
Broad Street Station, should appreciate
this enternrise Most Of the present
work is necessarily temporary, but so
far is this fact from reducing the credit
due to the officials who have conducted
the work, that it establishes the high
sense Of duty to the public which
brooks no delay in providing a
remedy for the widespread inconven-
ience caused by Monday mornings
disaster
Would Government bureaucracy,
bound with red tape, have been
similarly equal to the task,
