PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD
CUTS OPERATING RATIO

For the ninth consecutive year, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. succeeded in
reducing its operating ratio In 1929. and
the management and employees have set
out in 1880 at least to equal the 1929
ratio. While December figures are in
complete, it is probable the Pennsyl-
vania's operating ratio in 1929 will be
around 70 per cent, which will compare
with 1885 per cent in 1928, a decrease
of lbs per cent This is the lowest
operating ratio shown since 1915, and
the management had hopes Of at least
equaling the 1915 figure, but the sud.
den slump in traffic in the last two
months of the year slightly added to the
years average.

1O-STORY ELEVATOR
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Cleveland Structure, With Con-
tents, Valued at $500, ooo-29
Fire Companies Battle Flames.
~ the Associa ed Press.

By the Associa ed Press.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, January IL
Flames which still sullenly smoldered
early today leveled an elevator valued
with its contents Of grain at $500, 900
in the city's most serious and spec
tacular fire of recent years.
Twenty-nine companies, utilizing
every available fire hose in Cleveland,
and crews Of two fire tugs battled ice
and fire for hours last night in vain
attempt to save what was a 10-story
elevator of the Cleveland Grain Co.. an
old Landmark located In the industrial
section spreading along the Cuyahoga
River Valley.
Tine building itself was valued at
$4,000 and the grain which it stored
at 100000 by Charles G. Watkins,
president of the grain company. He
doubted whether anything could be SAL
vaged. The structure was taken over
only yesterday by the county as part
of the right of way for a proposed new
viaduct across the fats. The loss was
covered by insurance, which the county
also acquired
Overheating of dryer was held re-
sponsible for the origin of the fire by
Investigators today.
