THE PRESIDENT: The list of applications presented tonight is an exceedingly large one, containing forty-three names, and is a very flattering tribute to the enterprise and enthusiasm of our members, particularly to the St. Louis Division of the Illinois Central Railway. It is especially creditable to Mr. W. S. Williams, their Superintendent and our Second Vice-President, who, I believe, established a record in rounding up twenty-two members at a single meeting. When I said. he established a record, I was in error-he set an example. (Applause.) THE SECRETARY: The subject for the next meeting will be "The Ubiquitous Freight Car Question and Its Elusive Answer," by Mr. E. H. De Groot, Superintendent of Transportation, Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad. Chicago. THE PRESIDENT: You have heard the announcement of the subject for the next meeting. Any question pertaining to the movement of the freight car is bound to provoke the enthusiasm of those interested in its handling. The subject for our next meeting in this hall on Friday, October 13th, is a live one and Mr. De Groot's reputation as a transportation officer and his well-known ability to handle questions of this character, should attract a large attendance and bring forth much discussion. As there is no further business to be transacted before adjournment, I desire to thank you, gentlemen, for your attendance at this meeting, that being the best evidence of your interest, and I also wish to thank you for remaining until its conclusion. The meeting stands adjourned. |
