Road for ten years In that statement he est
mated the gross earnings at Sl,9l3,000, and the
tunnagc at /, l5O, 900 tuns. The actual result Of
the present year business shows an excess over
this estimate of 900 Of earnings, and 100000
tuns of tunnage Mr.. Meals estimate left a net
surplus of Sl97,3l9 for q dividend on S4,2l6,ll

ceipta of $4,000. deducting literally for IN
creased expenses there is a margin left for
