VIII.—APPRECIATION
128. The staff had a particularly onerous year due to the considerable increase in train mileage and to the necessity for exerting special efforts to obtain business by improving the services given to the public. The extra work they performed in this connection is much appreciated by the Administration. All grades responded nobly to an appeal to present for consideration any ideas they might possess which were likely to lead either directly or indirectly to the betterment of the Railway. Many useful proposals were received and acted upon.
129. The writer desires to express his thanks to the users of the Railway for the many helpful criticisms and suggestions received during the year. Every complaint or suggestion was investigated thoroughly and obviated or adopted where such a step was compatible with railway efficiency.
