Howard Elliott, president ‘of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, has sent this letter to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Public Utilities commissions of Con- necticut and Rhode Island and the public service commissions of Massa- chusetts and New York, stating exact- ly the situation of the New Haven as to freight congestion and other mat- ters of timely interest: 1 desire to submit to you on behalf of the New Haven company and its allied lines a statement about present conditions due to congestion of bus- iness on its own lines, congestion in and around New York harbor, and on many of its connecting lines, conditions which have been made much worse by the great storm of December 13-14, which seriously reduced the ability of the railroads to give a maxi amount of service with the facilities at hand; and by the storm of De- cember 26, which did much damage and destroyed and retarded the work of restoring wire communication telegraph and telephone, and of clear- ing the road of delayed freight.

Orders for New Locomatives. In spite of financial troubles, the freight equipment of the company is in much better shape than it was a year ago. A year ago there were 4,500 freight cars in bad order and now there are less than 1600—a marked improvement, and a number not for from the minimum that may be ex- pected with 46,000 cars on the road. The company has placed orders for 33 powerful freight locomotives to be delivered in January and February, and 500 coal cars which are promis: in March, costing about $1,000,000. Future of Boat Lines Uncertain. The company has tried to relieve its rail lines just so far as it could by diverting business to its boat lines, but here again it has not been able to add to its facilities because of the uncertainty surrounding the future of the boat lines. The company consid- ered very nearly a r ago for two additional freight steamers to run on Long Island sound, but it did not feel that it had the right to borrow the larze sum of money necessary, considering the within a comparatively shor ne the company might be ordered der the Panama Canal act, to dis. se of all of water lines.
