ABSTRACT
In the estimates for 1922 an establishment of 1 Traffic Manager and 5 Assistant Traffic Superintendents is laid down, and this number was actually on the strength throughout 1921. The line was split up into three sections, Water Street, Boia and Bo, each in charge of an Assistant Traffic Superintendent; out of the remaining three officials two were on leave and the third acted as Traffic Manager. The Traffic Manager at the present time actually details trucks to trains in the daily yard report for his own information, although he wires no orders thereon to up-country stations, so that the only extra work thrown on his office would be the issue of the daily train wire. The chief object of operating statistics is to enable the work of the Railway to be carried out more efficiently; it is therefore preferable that they should be compiled by the operating departments who are going to use them.
