New Places Created Ben Named for New Positions and Superseded Roles
The Rock Island transportation department reorganizes with three new posts. E P Kearney becomes supervisor of mails in Chicago, C E McKim named superintendent of transportation, and a new general superintendent of motive power is added. Kearney leaves the St Louis Terminal Railway Association after a year, and McKim brings twenty years of Pennsylvania Railway service. The plan aims to relieve division superintendents of physical condition duties, signaling a potential shift in operating results. Also announced are B F Bannell as engineer of tests and related subdepartment plans. Local notes include W A Delong’s hospital stay and the North West Iowa Woodmen Circle public outing at Spirit Lake on June 23. The Beggar Prince Opera Company performed Fra Diavola to a full house.
