JA ckson 0115 Phones JA ckson 0115 Illinois Central System Will Expend $45,500,000 in 1923 in Order to Serve Its Patrons More Efficiently The Illinois Central System plans to expend $45,500,000 in 1923 on improving and extending its facilities—an expenditure that will be made in the interest of improved service to its patrons. The expansion program consists of new equipment that will cost $18,500,000, which is now being ordered, and the construction of roadway improvements that will cost $27,000,000, work on which will be begun immediately. The new equipment purchased will include fifty locomotives, 4,000 open-top cars, 1,500 box cars, 500 automobile cars, fifty all-steel pas senger and baggage cars, five dining cars and 125 caboose cars. The construction of roadway improvements includes additional main tracks, grade reductions, improvements to and extension of yards, locomotive and car shops, freight and passenger terminals, new shop machinery and tools and extension of signal facilities. Heavy losses result from inadequate transportation. The Illinois Central System, as its 1923 program indicates, is earnestly endeavoring to place itself in position to serve its patrons more adequately. Since September 1, 1920, the Illinois Central System has expended $23,500,000 on improvements and enlargements to its roadway facilities and $49,000,000 on new equipment. Including the expenditures planned lor 1923, this means that in a little more than three years the Illinois Central System will have expended $118,000,000 for improving and en larging its roadway facilities and for new equipment. With railway conditions as they have been for several years past, such expenditures as the Illinois Central System has been and is making require ari abiding faith on the part of the management in the fairness of the American public. The Illinois Central System has that faith. It believes that the public, when in possession of the true facts, will control railway regulatory policies in such a way that the railroads will be en abled to earn a fair, compensatory return upon the value of their prop erties. If it were not for that faith, the management could not justify these expenditures. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. C. H. MARKH President, Illinois Central System
