NO PLAN TO MERGE RAIL OFFICES HERE Consolidation Plan Will Be! Tested in East First, Says Omaha Man on McAdoo Committee. No action toward the consolidation of railroad ticket offices in Omaha, for the duration of the war, has been taken by the committee in Washing ton, declares General Passenger Agent Basinger of the Union Pacific, upon his return to Omaha Saturday morning. Mr. Basinger is a member of Secre tary I'jAdoo's committee in charge of railway ticket offices. Mr. Basinger has been in Washing ton for nearly a month at work upon a general plan that will he applied in a number of eastern cities soon. According to Mr. Basinger, Wash ington will be the first of the larger cities where consolidated ticket of fices will be given a try-out. It will be in charge of a superintendent who will have in his employ 35 ticket sell ers and clerks. Concerning the plan of union ticket offices Mr. Basinger said: Washington a Guide. "We are working to make the Washington office a sort of a guide which will be followed in the con solidation of the officers elsewhere. It is impossible to say when the con solidation of other cilices will occur. We know that the Washington of fice will be ready for business May 1 and the offices elsewhere will be put in working order as rapidly as pos sible. The consolidation plan is simple. In Washington, for instance, if a party calls for a ticket to New York and designates a line over which he wants to travel, the ticket over that line is sold. If he has no preference he is given a ticket over tlu line that runs the first train out. There are clerks to explain routes of travel, connections and all information that is necessary for the" most inexper ienced traveler. "The consolidation of offices in Washington will result in a great sav ing in rentals. Under the new plan thev are all in one room that is per haps 100 feet long and 20 to 30 feet wide."

Rowe, garden expert of the Board of Public Welfare, has ar ranged with an Omaha firm to de liver lambs or ewes at market price, plus actual cost of delivery, to citi zens who will raise them this season. The purpose of this movement is to interest Omahans in raising lambs on their lawns. ' Mr. Rowe points out that these animals are com paratively of no expense and the in vest ment yields large returns. He estimates that 10,000 lambs could be cared for on Omaha lawns this season. During the summer these lambs take on from seven to 10 pounds of flesh a month.
