A. J. Jackson.
It was in the general fitoess of
things that A. J. Jacksen, who enjoys
the prestige of being one of Patton's
pioneer settlers, should be the first
administrative head of this thriving
town, so he was elected first hutyess.
During his term of office, he display-
ed the same executive ability d ex.
haustless energy that always char-
acterized him as an expert in munici-
pal government.
John Ashcroft.
Since the subject of coal vccupies
such an important place in the re-
view we mention John Ashcroft, as
the first general superintendent of
the Patton Coal Co, whose conserva-
tive principals snd executive nnd fin.

James Mellon,
The possessor of deep knowledge

justice of the peace in the borough
of Patton, has presided with dignity
and ability which is in itself admir-
able. He is one of those who hus the

When the talk turns from politics to railroads,
and the traveler with
the cocksure air breaks
in with, “There's an awful lot of ‘water’ in
the railroads,” here are some hard-pan facts
to give him:
American railroads have cost $80,900 a mile
- roadbed, structures,
stations, yards, termin-
als, freight and passenger trains—everything
from the great city terminals to the last spike.
A good concrete-and-asphalt highway costs
$36,000 a mile—just a bare road, not count-
ing the cost of culverts, bridges, etc.
Our railroads couldn't be duplicated to-
day for $150,000 a mile.
They are capitalized for only $71,000 a mile—-
much less than their actual value. Seventy-one
thousand dollars today will buy one locomotive
-
ia
English railways are capitalized at $274,000 a
mile; the French at $155,000; German $132,000;
even in Canada (still in pioneer development)
they are capitalized at $67,000 a mile. The
average for all foreign countries is $100,000,
Low capitalization and high owserating effici-
ency have enabled American Railroads to pay
the highest wages while charging the lowest
rates.
