NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The executive

be distributed over a period of five years.
Statement br President lvelt.
In a statement accompanying the an
nouncement of the double tracking project
President Kohert S. Lovett commented on
the reasons which had Impelled the roads
to reach their decision.
President Lovetl said that by July 1 the
lines west of Omaha would have about
30 miles of double tracks.
"The entire country served by the I nion
Pacific and Southern Pacific systems."
Judtfe Lovett continued, "Is developing
rapidly Indeed. It Is only In Its infancy
and we are convinced that Its growth In
population and Its agricultural and com
mercial development must continue; and
It is our purpose to provide, If we ran,
transportation facilities necessary to ac
commodate the growing business.
"True, the outlook In many respects is
uncatisfactory. With an Increase of wages
all along the line, with the right to In
crease our rates suspended by law and
further regulation and hostile legislation
threatened, and with Investors still timid
and asking high rates for money required
by railroad companies, it may seem a
time for curtailment rather than increased
expenditure by railroad managers. But I
we believe these unstable conditions are i
temporary. The growth and development
of the countryat least that portion of It
served by our lines Is bound to continue.
Nothing can stop it long. We are sure It
needs our railroads and all these facilitlea
we are going to provide.
