In other words, all master mechanics on the divisions referred to will hereafter report direct to division divis-ion superintendents instead of to .1. F. Dunn, superintendent of motive power of the system. The latter will deal directly with the division superintendents In the future, and the superintendents will largely control all matters connected with the motive power of the road and the various; var-ious; offices of master mechanics at Ogden, Pocatello, Sparks and less Important Im-portant division points. The new order, now In effect, relieves re-lieves Mr. Dunn of a great deal of worry, care and responsibility, and" places this on the shoulders of division divis-ion superintendents. As a result of this order, the authority au-thority of various minor officials ha3 been greatly abridged in and about the Ogden shops.
