CIRCULAR NO. ....
............... 191..
Effective this date this Division discontinues among its officials the use of the titles Master Mechanic, Division Engineer, Trainmaster, Traveling Engineer, Chief Dispatcher, Division Storekeeper, and Division Agent.
The following named officials are designated:
- 1. Mr. .................., Assistant Superintendent.
- 2. Mr. .................., Assistant Superintendent.
- 3. Mr. .................., Assistant Superintendent.
- 4. Mr. .................., Assistant Superintendent.
- 5. Mr. .................., Assistant Superintendent.
- 6. Mr. .................., Assistant Superintendent.
- 7. Mr. .................., Assistant Superintendent.
- 8. Mr. .................., Assistant Superintendent.
They will be obeyed and respected accordingly.
Each of the above named officials continues charged with the responsibilities heretofore devolving upon him, and in addition assumes such other duties as may from time to time be assigned.
All of the above will be located in the same building with one consolidated office file in common with the Superintendent.
All reports and communications on the Company's business, including replies, originating on this division, intended for the Superintendent or for any Assistant Superintendent, will be addressed simply, "Assistant Superintendent" (telegrams, "A. S."), no name being used in the address unless intended to reach an official away from his headquarters, or to be personal rather than official, in which latter case it will be held unopened for the person addressed. It is intended that an Assistant Superintendent shall be on duty in charge of the division headquarters office during office hours. The designation of a particular Assistant Superintendent to handle specified classes of correspondence and telegrams is a matter concerning only this office. Each official transacts business in his own name, and no person should sign the name or initials of another. The principle to guide subordinate officials and employes is to be governed by the latest instructions issued and received.
Train orders will be given over the initials of the Train Dispatcher on duty, as will messages originated by him.
