that ail capital expenditures were only made after careful consideration b myself and the chief officers of the company and re presented our views of what was neces sary for the welfare of the enterprise these expenses were of course control lable by the government i however feel that the successful operation of this enterprise can only- be carried on if the country as a whole s heartily behind the management and in view of this and the possibility of the government wishing to consider their policy i feel that in order to give them a free hand i should submit my resignation in leaving the service of the can adian national railways i especially desire to thank the officers and the men with whom i have been associated for nearly ten years for the loyalty enthus iasm and ability which all have given with a general hand to the enterprise and myself i shall always cherlshthe- happiest recollections of my contact with those in the service of the company and i may add with truth that whatever has been accomplished has been largely due to the cooperative spirit displayed by all from the highest to the lowest i am quite certain that the same devotion to duty and the high principles which have characterusd both manage ment and men during my incumbency in office win be extended with equal fidelity to the succeeding administration i bid you all farewell 1 i wish to you happiness

coupled by the old links and pins and airbrakes were unknown hours of work were long and pay was small andap- prentice training systems were not brought to the stage where they are today when every effort is made to educate and encourage the boys to learn while they earn and fit themselves for better jobs locomotives of 1886 were pygmies as compared with the 6100 4100 and 5700 classes of engines used today on the canadian national system and the trains they hauled were mere toys com pared with the huge freight loads and allsteel passenger trains which are now operated practices of handling locomc- tives in shops and on uieroact have altered with the growth in size of loco motives which have had to be shopped and many of the improvements in shop practices in canada have developed under

and culture is wider than the difference of money i mean that culture that makes one delight in the simpler and finer joys of life such as a beautiful picture a great book and noble music while the
