$5,312,163.77 was secured by drafts upon the New York office.

HOTELS AND BACHELOR QUARTERS.

Owing to the fact that 99 per cent of the patrons of the Washington
Hotel were employees of the railroad, it was deemed advisable by the
president to transfer its operation from the commission to the railroad
when the buildings and plant were remodeled in connection with other
improvements that. were made to employees’ quarters.

This department now provides accommodations for 236 bachelor
employees divided between the Washington, Lincoln, McKinley, and
Bennington houses at Colon and miscellaneous quarters at Panama.
Since July 20, 1908, when the Washington House was transferred,
101,227 meals were furnished. , |

AUDITOR’ S DEPARTMENT.

Many of the economies that have been accomplished during the past
year are the outcome of a reorganization in this department whereby
all heads of other departments are promptly and continually kept
informed concerning their expenditures, so that careful cost analysis
can always be supplied and studied. |
