We appreciate the fact that with, the cooperation of your bureau We are in much bet ter position to bring about the desired Improvements and trust that you will see fit to render the assistance we seek.

 | Washington, Jan. 4.-All claims arising at of government war tin,' railroad control over sg per cent oi the railroad mileage involved have been settled, James c. Davis, director general of railroads reported today in communication transmitted to con gress by President Coolidge.
 The last cent of direct government expenditure was paid out before January 1, MT. Davis said, and from now on these will be a steady income to the government from the railroad | securities held in the treasury evil dencing government investment made l in the roads during and after con- trol. He calculated that the total cost of the taking over of the roads was s1,696, 100000.
 'HThere can be stated with reason able accuracy" the report said. the cost of the government growing out of federal control and the six months guaranty period immediately follow ing the end of federal control, which is as follows:
 Congress appropriated to pay cost of operation and provide funds for |liouidation a total of $1,750,000, 900. The expenditure in payment of judg- ments decrees, awards and repara- tions under Jurisdiction of the inter- state commerce commission is esti- mated at s40,00o, ,0o0. trhis makes a total direct appropriation by congress for the railroad administration of s1,79o, ,oQo, 1000.
 The railroad administration should return to the treasury in unexpended appropriations cash and definitive ob- ligations of the carriers in round fig ures s645,0oo, 900, which leaves the cost of federal control and liquidation of liabilities at s1,145.000,o0o.
 ITO this should be added the amount of claims arising under the guaranty period. being the six months immediately following federal control, which the interstate commerce com mission estimates to cost S536,000, 900.
