 MAKES APPOINTMENTS
General Superintendent Folsom Re tires After 55 Years of Con-

Boston Aug. 1e Pl-The appoint ments of John Rourke, general sn- perintcndent of the first district of the Boston and Maine railroad, as general superintendent with jurisdic- ton over the entire system, and of Samuel E, Miller, now superinten- dent of the southern division, as general perintendent of transpor- tation, also with system jurisdiction, were announced today In connection with a consolidation of districts and encouragement of divisions.
 After 55 years of continuous serv- ice with lines included in the Boston and Maine system, Harley F. Folsom, general superintendent of the sec ond district, which now comprises the three northern divisions, has re- linquished active duty at his own re- quest. His retirement, the railroad announcement said, has made neces- sary several promotions and trans fers, and in addition changing traf- iic conditions made 1t advisable to consolidate certain operating groups.
 The Worcester, Nashua and Port land division, which has been espe- ciaIly affected by loss of traffic, is absorbed by the southern and Port land divisions. The White Mountains and Passumpsic division are com- bined. The Fitchburg and Berkshire divisions, which have been operated jointly for several months, are now permanently consolidated. The con- solldations of districts and divisions are made possible, 1t was announced, by improvements in the railroad plant over period of years, and an improvement also in results trace able directly to personnel.
