Substantial recognition of the splendid service performed by employes of the Monon road during the recent flood came Saturday when a number of officials and employes located here received letters from Fairfax Harrison, president of the road. Each envelope contained a letter thanking the recipient for his loyalty and fidelity and for the extra hours of labor performed in an effort to restore the traffic of the road. Each envelope also* contained checks ranging from $25 to SIOO. These checks were compensation for extra hours of service that were given in an unselfish effort to help the road in a time of great distress. Among the men >who received the thanks and compliments of President Harrison were P. L. McManus, superintendent: J. B. Caldwell, superintendent of bridges; Rfehard Burke, assistant superintendent of bridges; W. H. Stemm, chief train dispatcher, and David Clark, general yardmaster. The letters were unexpected and are highly appreciated.
