On the Non-Use of A. E. R. A. StandardsOn behalf of the American Association committee onthe use of association standards, W. G. Gove, BrooklynRapid Transit Company, made a plea for more atten-tion to the work of the standards committee.

Mr. Gove also said a good word for the EngineeringManual, and suggested that the distribution of revisionsof the Manual should be simplified and cheapened
