A valuable suggestion by Mr. Headlee was that convict labor be employed In draining the salt marsh meadows of the State, and that a substantial appropriation be made each year to complete the entire work In five years, which, he concluded, could be done without a shadow of doubt.

In Atlantic City, wanted to get the Pennranla train at Ocean City for Sea Isle City, and that he phoned for them the station at Atlantic City to ask that the Sea Isle train be held long enough to make connections with the trolley. The reply was that If the trolley was on time the connection would be made. If It was half a minute late, nothing doing. A phone call to Ocean City station gave the same Information. The ladles got to Ocean City Just time to see the disappearing end of the Pennsylvania train as it moved Sea Isleward. The result was they hired an auto, spent $7, and got to Sea Isle before the train. He at once took the matter up with Mr. Buckalew, the perintendent of the railroad, and the result was that now trains are held for four minutes to connect, and the trolley crew must be on time or receive severe censure and even submit to a due if late through their own fault In getting to Ocean City. Mr. Leeds cited this as a case of co-operation between the railroad and the reeort. In that particular case represented by him. the matter of a trolley line from Ocean City to Cape May. Mr. I>edB

For Better Railroad Service To the People of New Jersey and the Public : Before tbe New Jersey Legislature is a bill to broaden the powers oi the Board of Public Utility Commissioners. It was introduced into the House by Hon. Emmor B. Roberts, of tbe Grange; into tbe Senate by Hon. Lewis T. Stevens. The measure is supported by tbe New Jersey State Chamber of Commerce, following exhaustive study ol the problem, and by newspapers generally. It is heartily approved by tbe railroads. They take this public method to say so and why. This will accomplish in reality what the “full crew” law of 1913 was intended to do. Tbe effect of that law so far has been to fore* upon the railroads in New Jersey a total cost of $1,250,000. Such expenditure, which, as every cost entering into railroad maintenance and opciation, inevitably is met by the public, has been waste, for it accomplished nothing of value. Enactment of the bill will take nothing from the public that it does not restore in a greater degree. For an arbitrary law recognizing no conditions—but, with limitations, requiring on trains a given number of men regardless of differing circumstances surrounding operations of such trains and the services they perform— the bill substitutes the intelligent judgment of selected men entrusted by the Commonwealth with safeguarding and promoting the public interest. Under the existing statute—an “excess man" crew law, not a a “full” crew law as it was named to accomplish its enactment—railroads in Jersey are compelled to carry on truiiii., where they are not needed, some 450 men who would be otherwise very advantageously employed. Railtoads do not seek to underman trains. On many trains—passenget and freight—they now put larger crews than the law requires, this to ensure safe and efficient operation. What this bill will do is to make certain that all railroads in New Jersey shall properly crew every train. It gives the Utility Commissioners full authority to determine bow many men are necesaaiy to make certain that Indus are safely and efficiently opeia'ed, also to prevent excessive duties being lequtied of any man in train service. It protects tbe public interest, as the present law docs not It adequately safeguards tights of employees. It relieves the railroads iron’ a useless operating charge now imposed upon them. It makes fot economical, so for better, tianspurlatiou service. SAMUEL REA \VM. H. TRUESDALE a T DICF DroaMan;. Peaaaylvaato R. R. Hrcaldaat. Lackawanna R. R.
