C. N. Officials Explain Recent Rail Shipment

(Canadian Press)

MONTREAL. Aug 4—The follow- ing statement was issued by the Canadian National Railways man- agement here today:

“In pursue-rice of its policy of securing economies wherever pos- sible, the company is utilizing sup- plies of all kinds which it has al-

ready purchased and has in stock,’

wherever these supplies may be re- quired. Recently some comment has been made in connection with the provision of rails fcr replacement purposes in the Maritime Provinces. These rails were in stock, having been bought and paid for some time I80 for use in another territory, but on account of curtailment of the construction programme were not required for the original pur- pose. Under these ircumstancea it was felt tobe necessary to utilise them rather than spend money in the pin-chase of additional rails."
