"t At tWis time Mr. Hines is inspect ing thenorthern lines, picking up regional directors and federal man ager and taking them along with htm. The same course will be pur sued until he reaches Washington; ' Greer in City Friday. Friday night, B. B.

SafTord, engineer for the central region and working under the direction of Regional Director Holden, will join the party in Utah. i In Portland the Holden party will meet Director General Hihes, and frbm that time on until Washington is reached, the railroad administra tion of the United States will be on wheels. " Trip Serves Two Purposes. Discussing railroads and the rail road situation, during his brief stop tt ; the eUnion station yesterday morning Regional Director Holden said: "This plan of going across the country to meet Mr. Hines is for two purposes. One is that the regional directors and their ' as sistants may be able to make a close Inspection of linos over which they exercise jurisdiction, and the other is to be with the director general and talk over just what is needed in the way of improvements and bet terments along the respective roads i the rone. ("Our Mr. Saffbrd, chief engineer for the Central division, has been in th country west of the Missouri river for several weeks. He has been out on Jhe lines, at the offices of general managers and superin tendents, and in this way has come in, touch with the existing condi tions. He. will be able to report where improvements are needed and what the cost will be. . i " To Formulate Budget. "Officials of other districts will pursue similar plans, and when Mr. Hines gets these men all together and their figures, he will be in a position to make up the budget and 4 determine how much money is to be expended and where. i"We do not contemplate any new projects in connection with the . railroads of the Central district, but the properties will be kept in the best of condition to be turned over to former owners when that time comes." Mr. Holden 'does not look for an ejirly transfer of the railroads back td corporate ownership. Relative to ' mis ne saia: "The government could not well let go of the railroads at this time. Eventually, however,' there are in dications that they will go back and in the meantime it is important that the properties be kept up. H. C. of L. Prevents Extension. "The high cost of labor and the equally high cost of material and equipment is going to prevent the extension of new lines and at the same time is likely to prevent mak ing extensive improvements, other than those absolutely necessary. "Gradually prerwar train service is being restored and the character of eqipment - that was formerly run is being put back in service. The entire situation seems to be adjust ing itself and with the war ended the railroads are going to get back into business and on a satisfactory basis.",. .
