sness Of the first quarter and OF part of the second
was from the lower road only the results the more
satisfactory. The local business has increased very
largely The completion Of the work at Ezabethport
the addition Of boat and reduction Of the grade at

rest has been paid directly indirectly The business OF

make regular semi annual dividends.
The present cost of the whole railroad is $3.50 $50 g.

This will compare voraby with the average Of any othor
