Statement by President l.ovett.
In a statement accompanying the an
nouncement of the double tracking project
President Hobert S. l.ovett commented on
the reasons which had Impelled the roads
to reach their decision.
President Lovett said that by July tl the
lines west of Omaha would have about
t30 miles of double tracks.
"The entire country served by the I'nion
Pacific and Southern Raclflc systems."
Judge Lovett continued, "Is developing

and we are convinced that Its growth In

mercial development must continue; and
It Is our purpose to provide, If we can,

"True, the outlook In many respects is
unsatisfactory. With an increase of wages
all along the line, with the right to In

further regulation and hostile legislation
