TRACK OBSTRUCTIONS 



Some curious statistics just issued by the 

 Cuban Railroad commission and sent by 

 the secretary of government to all the pro- 

 vincial governors, chronicles the casualties 

 caused during the last ten years by careless 

 owners permitting the straying of their 

 cattle on the railroad tracks of the various 

 lines in the island. 



During this period 4,945 animals were 

 killed, of which 3,856 were cows, the bal- 

 ance consisting of horses and swine. 



According to Secretary of Public Works 

 Jose R. Villalon, a call has been made on 

 the representatives of all the railroad com- 

 panies operating in the country for a meet- 

 ing on October 1st to treat on the revision 

 of the railroad freight rates. The revision 

 it is thought will take six or seven months 

 time to work into shape.
