RAILROAD AFFAIRS

Frankly, if compelling the New
Haven road to sell mileage books at
reduced rates would mean better
service and benefits to the people as
individuals one would be inclined 10
hone that the appeal of the inter-
state commerce commission, to COM
mel the road to issue such mileage
hooks, might bring results. But no
such advantage would come'to the IN
dividual from a decision compelling
such issue. In fact it is to be feared
that the reverse would be true, at
least in the matter of service.
The Washington correspondent OF
The Herald states that somewhat
poorer condition of rolling stock i'm
provement is shown by the New
Haven road than on the railroads as
whole throughout the United States.
The details of the showing of the
road in this regard were published in
quite certain that the New Haven has
not fallen behind other roads in this
matter because Of any desire on the
part of the road to fail to improve the
condition of its rolling stock. II. like
the owner of any other property
wants to see its property kept in good
condition. Undoubtedly it is making
an effort to improve that condition.
Improved rolling stock means better
service-and better service is what
the individual wants. If forced to is
sue mileage books at s72, this amount
representing reduced rates for those
who could buy $500 miles of trans
portation at one time, it Is quite GER
tain that the funds available for inn
provement of rolling stock would be
decreased. while the occasional user
of the road would not be benefited.
1t is question, also, whether or
not, in the long run, the mileage book
at this price would benefit immediate
ly the concerns which would save
money by their use. Above all the |
service must be improved and even a |
saving of transportation cost. II made I

the habit of calling attention TO a
matter which shoult br e,al4 --s ,
at the time memory Of II Is fresh, fo-
day We may point TO the fact That
falls on ley sidewalks in this city cost
the taxpayers nearly s3,000--and, in
cidentally, they were lucky TO get out
Of IL for that amount, The claims
committee and the corporation coun-
sci did effective work in bringing
about compromises, thus, probably
saving tho city many hundreds, per-
haps thousands, OF dollars, without
injustice to those who were unfortun-
ate enough to be injured by falling on
the walks.
Tho matter TO be emphasized now,
while the memory Is fresh, is that pre-
cautions should be taken, as far as
possible, to reduce this amount by
making the walks as safe as possible
for next winter. This matter was
mentioned at the last session OF the
common council, and 1t was satisfac-
tory to note that the city engineer has
made it a point to see that at least
one of the walks in the city, upon
which there were many falls. will not
be reproduced in new walks when
such new walks are built. The smooth
finish will be abandoned in this one
case, at least, and the smooth finish
on concrete walks should not be al
lowed to be used. In the construction
OF new walks this summer, this mat
ter should be borne in mind They
should be built always with the end in
view of making them safe at all
times-of character that will not in
crease the icy walk" hazard. Care
should be taken as to means of drain
ing walks so that they will not be
continually covered with ice when the
freeze comes after the thaw. This one
step, at least, should be taken by in
dividuals for the sake of all the tax
payers of the city in the great fight
to keep down taxes.
