This

following
instructions
Usued
bv
R.
C.
Vaughan.
president
of
the

In
a
circular
to

heads

Mr.
Vaughan
quotes
George

'mn.sit
controller,
and
T.
C.
Lock-wood,
transport
controller,
from
a
tlrrular
issued
by
these
officials
and
addressed
to
the
civil
service
in
which
they
suggested
the
adoption
of

ing
that,

coun
try
to
be
more
efficiently

As
pointed
out
by
Mr.
Vaughan
It
is
desired
to
curtail
week-end
travel
and
not
to
concentrate
all
vacations
In
July
and
August
but
to
spread
them
through
other
months
and
the
president
adds:
The
purpose
is
to
reduce

agencies
of

and
thus
assist
in
meeting

demands
for

related

to

program."
;
A
suggestion
made
by
the
transit
controller
and
the
transport
controller
and
concurred
in
by
Mr.
Vaughan
is
that
annual

terminate
so
that
