Success OF Mullet
Line Due To More
Traffic, Less Cost
Daily DISDatrn 6uFaa@.
In the Sir Waller Hotel.

Raleigh, March 9.-SucceSs which
has 50 far attended private operation
of the Atlantic and East Carolina
Railroad (the old Mullet Line) has
been due about in equal parts to in
creased business and to decreased eX-
penditureS. E r.. Buchan, vice preSi-
dent, told your Raleigh reporter in
a long conservation about the roads
affairs.
In other words we have been able
to meet all our rental payments, i'm
prove our roadbed and pay ali OPP
Grating expenses not solely because
we introduced greater efficiency in
management, thereby decreasing cost
of operation, but also because the
volume Of freight tonnage moving
over the line has increased steadily',
Buchan said.
He attributed this increase in bust
ness to tine cordial attitude adopted
by people all along the line who, he
declared have shown real per
sonal" interest in the roads success.
There are real prospects, too, he
declared of still greater increases in
tonnage, with resultant increase in
revenues.
On the other hand he pointed to
numerous healthy savings made
through application of what he called
lust plain horse sense
He cited, for instance, the switch
ing situation at Kinston. Under the
ola management this was done by a
regular locomotive engine for which
three tons OF coal (cost about S4.25
per tony were required daily. In adj
dition a fireman was paid approx
mately $500 day, making a total Of
nearly S18. Now the switching is
done-and done better-by smaller
Diesel engine for which the fuel cost
per day is hardly more than 81. All
in all, Buchan said, the total cost is
not more than 81 per- day against SIS
under the CroWell regime.
This, he added, is typical of many
other efficiency moves made under
the private management.
