In discussing a paper on TheValue of a Locomotive, submitted to tin-Western Railway Club, Mr. George made the following remarkswhich are well worthy of notice: When the engine is in the house a bigfactor in increasing the availability of anengine to handle tonnage is the hot waterwash out system. This is universallyrecognized by all and some of us havequite complete records as to just whatsaving the hot water washout system ef-fects in boiler maintenance. It is thefeature of boiler maintenance or rather SAFETY VALVE. TO BRAKE CYL TRIPLE WLVE MAGNET VALVES TVIain reservoir leakage shall not exceed3 pounds per minute. Brake pipe leakage shall not exceed 5pounds per minute. Brake cylinder leakage shall not ex-ceed 5 pounds per minute per cylinderfrom an initial cylinder pressure of SOpounds. The train signal system shall be testedand known to be in good condition beforeeach trip. It will be understood that the above hasnot as yet become a law, but there isevery reason to believe that the sugges-tions will be accepted with very little, ifany, change in the wording, so that anyof our readers who may not have a sys-tem of inspection, test, and repair workthat will approximate the one that isoutlined, it may be well to prepare fora tightening up in the near future. Constant changes and additions are be-ing made to the laws regulating airbrakes, and it is our purpose to keep ourreaders advised of these ch
