Description
Most important change in railroad circles at presdent is the placing of the MH&O and the M&M under one management, general manager John Hornby having tendered his regisnation to take effect May 1, and Andrew Watson, superindentent of the M&M, having been selected as his successor. This will place the two raods under one manangement, practically consoldating them as part of the DSS&A. Mr. Watson's ability and fitness as a railroad manager have been freely demonstrated on the Dm&M and other roads.
