Despite the disappointment, he said, the special committee had collected $714,239 from 904 givers, and if the other two groups of campa workers do as well, he predicted the second chest budget would go “over the Directors Outline Task.

OFFICIALS Proposal Designed to Shorten!| Route Between New York, Philadelphia and Chicago. ‘The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad pro- poses to obtain a new trunk line in the East through expenditures totaling $79,- 500,000, including the acquisition of the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh and the Buffalo & Susquehanna carriers. The program was put up to the Interstate Commerce Commission yesterday at a hearing participated in by Daniel Wil- lard, president, and George M. Schriver, senior vice president of the Baltimore & Ohio system. The plan is designed to link more efficiently New York, Phil- adelphia and Chicago. ‘The new through route in the East, if approved by the commission, will mean that the Baltimore & Ohio will expend $15,000,000 in new construction to link up a 75-mile stretch between Sinmahoning and Williamsport, Pa., where it would connect with the Read- ing Railroad. The trunk line program, the Baltimore & Ohio officials contend- ed, would prove of great benefit to New York and Philadelphia, furnishing the carrier with a system 83 miles shorter between New York and Chicago and 25 miles shorter than its Philadelphia- Chicago line, with a 700-foot lower sum- mit in its crossing of the Appalachian range. Would Eliminate New Cut-off. Further, the officials advised the com- mission, their plan would eliminate the necessity for a new cut-off around Pittsburgh, a new tunnel under Balti- more and a reconstruction of a portion of its lines west of Pittsburgh. ‘The Baltimore & Ohio program con- templates the routing of the new trunk line by way of the Central Railroad of New Jersey and the Reading Railroad. The predominant traffic of the Buffalo & Susquehanna and the Buffalo, Roches- ter & Pittsburgh, the officials of the Baltimore carrier said, is coal, which can be more expeditiously handled un- der the new plan. The financial features of the new program were thus explained by Mr. ‘Willard: Sixteen million seven hundred thousand dollars would go for purchase of stock of the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh and $37,500 in funded debt would be taken over. The cost of the Buffalo & Susquehanna would be $10,- 300,000, of which $6,300,000 would rep- resent stock and $4,000,000 funded debt. ‘The 75 miles of new construction in Northeastern Pennsylvania would cost $15,000,000. Hearing Before Burnside. ‘The hearing was held before Assistant Finance Director Burnside on the ap- plication of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail- road to purchase the Buffalo & Sus- quehanna. The Baltimore road already has pending before the commission an application for the purchase of the ‘G. Thomas Dunlop.

Insisting on the need for commission sanction for the Baltimore & Ohio program, Mr. Willard asserted: “From the standpoint of the Balti- more & Ohio the plan for the through line is important in that it enables us to sect $15,000,000 for 75 miles of new line in Central Pennsylvania an economical line for the handling of an important of our through traffic, not only avoiding the necessity for the expendi- ture of much larger amounts elsewhere, but through relieving our line through Pittsburgh and the West to the port of Baltimore and from the South through the Potomac gateway to an through Baltimore to Philadelphia, New York and the North, while gen- erally placing the Baltimore & Ohio system in a stronger competitive posi- tion as compared with its more ad- vantageously located and fully de- veloped neighbors.” TOLLIVER AGAIN HEADS CITIZENS Deanwood Association Opposes Change in Commissioners’ Residence Clause.

The association has been conducting a determined fight against the assess- ment for almost a year, and last night pledged its entire resources to continue the effort to have the assessment re- voked. A delegation from the community east of Bladensburg road entered a protest to the proposed transfer of children from Wheatley to Henry Blow School, and the association appointed a com- mittee to point out to the assistant su- perintendent of schools the inconven- ience entailed by such a move. The assoclation voted opposition to the Jones bill liberalizing the “bona fide” residence requirement for ap- pointees as District Commissioners, and ‘went on record against the proposed in- crease in water rates. Pledge Chest Support. Following an address by Delos Smith of the publicity department of the Com- munity Chest the association pledged its support to the program of the Chest.
