Financial Times - A Journal of Trade Industry and Finance March 1938

1938

The main portion of this increase is due to the increase in the price of coal and in the consumption of stocks necessitated by the icreased traffic and also in part to the reconditioning of wagons and increased repairs to rolling stock. [...] Amongst the lines of investigation which have proved particularly valuable are the folloing: the improved utilisation of rolling stock ; the reconditioning and extension of life of locomotives and wagons ; reduction in the number of locomotives and carriages ; concetration of repairs and closing of repair shops ; job analysis ; and speeding up of traffic in transit. [...] Next year of the 21 lakhs included in the budget for general improvements of the nature I now refer to a sum of over 10 lakhs in all is to bedevoted to lower class waiting rooms and halls and to the covering and raising of platforms. [...] Cutoms and central excise receipts continued to advance until the end of the calendar year but in December the percentage of improvment was lower than in the preceding months and the returns of January of this year confirm the flattening of the curve. [...] Here I might perhaps be allowed to digress for a moment to pay a tribute on the one hand to the very reasonable attitude adopted by the majority of the flifins and contractors in their claims against Goernment and on the other to the skill of those entrusted with the negotiations on the Government side.
