Mr. 'Young's wife and two daughters preceded him about a month ago, and, aYter spending three weeks at Lake Tahoe, Cnl., came to Salt Lake. They will accompany him on his return to Washington in about ten days. This is Mr. Young's first visit to Salt Lake in two years, owing to the fact that the business of the railroad administration ad-ministration has been of such volume and of such a complicated nature that it was impossible for any of the officials to leave their posts. He says, however, that the railroad administration's work is running smoothly smooth-ly now and that short vacations are being be-ing enjoyed by many of the administration administra-tion officials. "There are many improvements being planned for the railroads, but the expenditure expen-diture will be nothing like it was two year3 ago when V. G. MoAdoo was director direc-tor general and had full charge of saying say-ing what improvements should be made and what should not be made," Mr. Young said. "Since Walker D. Hines has been director general, standard contracts con-tracts have been drawn with each of the several railroads, in which it is stipulated stipu-lated that the corporate owners and the administration will o -operate on improvements im-provements to be made, the expenditure of which is borne by the corporate owners." During Mr. Young's stay in Salt Lake ho will be at the home of H. W. Lawrence, Law-rence, his father-in-law, 143 North Main street. |
