mads estimate Of the aggregate revenue of the
company, aud as or impressions always have been
very favorable relative the produotiveness Of this
road we gave ct the time, what We considered a
very liberal estimate. The amount put down was
$24s57l, which proves to have been below the &C
tual income than ten thousand dollars The
receipts of the company, since the let Of June last
have been Slso7ss, against $lis 657 for the
period the year previous, showing an increase of
s62 equal to fifty three per cent The receipts for
the FIRST I'VE months Of ls47, amounted to s77s6s An
increase this amount fer the rst Ave months Of s4s
equal to that the receipts for the last months
ofls47, compared with 1896 would make the receipts
rom January lst 10 June LIST, 1885, $ll93s, which,
with the receipts from June s47 to Jan l. s4s, will
make the income for tho year ending June lst ls4s
5000 9O6 We have no doubt the receipts for that Pc
riod will exceed three hundred thousand dollars.
From that time forward 1t will be impossible to est
mate the receipts Of this company they will be de-
rived not only from the present length Of road but from
the extension in progress and from the opening of
the New Haven line, the whole travel Of which must
pass about fifteen miles Of the Harlem The
Of income for the year ending June st ls4o will BE-
many than tho company possess, that the re-
cepts will show much larger per cent increase than
during the past year.
The receipts from freight on the Harlem Railroad
during the year s47 will give some faint idea of the
bbe extent OF this part Of the business of the comps
n.y. when the line extended into the rich sgr
cultural sections Of the valley through which the line
will paes.
