TIME TABLES On January 11th I asked the indulgence of the public and a suspension of press criticism during the reconstruction period through which the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad is now passing: In compliance with the order of the Public Utilities Commission of Connecticut, all trains in that State now come to a full stop before switches are thrown at anything less than No. 20 cross-overs. To maintain the efficiency of our service, reconstruction in cross-overs, switches and signals has and in explanation of this matter I said:— It is believed that @ new time schedule pending this reconstruction period will insure greater safety. It should be put into effect, according to present plans, about February 2d. Reconstruction of cross-overs will follow, and in a few months the old time echedule should be restored and maintained with the greatoat punctuality consistent with safety. The New York, New Haven & Hartford Main Line should be maintained as the safest railroad in the United States. It has been larrely rebuilt and its electrification inaugurated during my administration, and no passenger loss has been met with by reason of this reconstruction. I desire now that this newest reconstruction shall be had without accident, and therefore ask the indulgence of the public and the press, and particula:ly the press, because attacks upon a railroad man- agement during a reconstruction period have possibilities of Semorslization in the personnel and working forces that directly increase the hazard of railroad travel. Later Mr. A. R. Whaley, Manager of the Grand Central Terminal, and formerly Superintendent of our New York Division, was engaged to return to our service as Operating Vice-President. ; Mr. Whaley assumed his new duties Kebruary Ist and has asked for further time in which to care- fully study the necessity for any general lengthening of time schedules. Mr. Whaley writes as follows:— Mr. C. S. Mellen, Boston, February 4, 1913. President. Dear Sir: Referring to our recent conversations concerning proposed time table changes, I would re- spectfully ask for more tine to con: this matter, it appeals to me as of sufficient importance to demand very careful study. 1 believe the public would prefer alight delays in preference to any definite lengthening of echedules during cross-over reconstruction. If weather conditions continue favorable, I believe that by making slight readjustments in Division and Suburban service we can continue to improve in our’ operas tion and postpone the installation of a general change until the reason for it ls more apparent to me than it is at present. I have made very careful study of the installation of the new cross-overs and am prepared to ask the Engineering Department to concentrate their efforts at the most important places where we must detour our trains, Respectfully yours, A R WHALEY, Vice-President. In view of the above, and the responsibilities placed upon Mr. Whaley, I have acceded to-his postponement of the inauguration of the new time tables which had been prepared to meet temporary conditions. I therefore ask the continued indulgence of the Press and the Public for temporary irregularities in fulfilling our existing time schedules, I desire also at this time to thank the Public and the Press for the full courtesy which has been extended to me in campliance with my request of January 11th, and to express the hope that Mr. Whaley will be successful in his efforts to so adjust operating conditions during the installation of these new cross-overs that the Public will suffer less inconvenience from delayed trains than it would from the installation of a new general time table.
