In abolishing the pooling system
five freight engine crews will be
placed on the extra list. This has

ing has been abandoned.

pounds by replacing the single

eating breakfast in the Island.
Engino Fooling Abolished.
The hystem of engine pooling
which has been in vogue on the
Second and Third districts lor a
number of months has been
abolished, and hereafter engineers
will have assigned engines. That
is, instead of going out on one
engine one trip and on another the
next trip, each .engineer will have
regular engine. The discon
tinuance of the pooling system is
hailed with delight by engineers.
It means easier and less ttying
work for them and will result in
better service for the company and
the engines will be kept in better
shape.
The pooling system was one of
President Burt's hobbies, but had
never been endorsed by Manager
Dickinson or Supt. of Motive
Power McConnell. These latter
official evidently convinced Mr.
Burt that the system was poor
economy.
