ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BALTIMORE AND
OHIO RAILROAD COMPANY The annual meet
ing Of the stockholders of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company was held in the Direc-
tors room, Camden Station. Baltimore, yestsr-
day morning. The meeting was organized by
appointing MIR. VIM. M'Kim President and Mr.
l. Atkinson Secretary. The Annual Report of
the President and Directors was presented and
read by the Secretary.
The report is clear, comprehensive and, in
view Of the condition of the country during the
w has Sarfn
revenues Of all the great railroad lines we pre-
sumo satisfactory. The gross earnings Of the
main stem have been S3,S57 ,is5.79, being de-
crease of 500, 5I3 16, compared with the pTeced.
ing year but maintaining increase over the
fiscal year OF 1855 Of S145, G3l 81. The expenses
OF working the main stem, and Of keeping the
road and machinery in repair, have amounted to
% 53l l99 80 being 65 SO per cent upon the gross
earnings, an increase, compared with the pre-
vious year, OF Ssh per cent. The decrease in
the gross earnings Is to be found in the falling
OF Of the way travel, and in the stoppage of the
coal trade, and in the reduced tariff at which the
coal transportation has been done In the through
merchandise, flour and stock trade, there has
been an increase sufficient to compensate for all
DEFICIENCIES, exec pit that of the coal trade
The revenue Of the Washington branoh for the
fiscal year has amounted to Si69, i22 81 showing
an increase Of Sli 1853 0S over the previous wear
and the expenses to ssGa ,45s 81, being 43t per
paid dividend of nine per cent , on It's capital
stock during the past year. The revenue OF the
Northwestern Virginia or Petersburg branch
for the fiscal wear has amounted to S2IS O9l Oh
aud the working expenses to $3.50 ,252 70. or 1ss
l2-h per cent The Company has, therefore
received no compensation for the use of motive
and rolling stock with which the road is worked
This result. however, has been caused by large
expenditures necessary to complete and put the
road in order, and il is expected that the expend-
lures Tor The coming year will be materially less
and the financial result more encouraging. The
Marietta and CINCINNATI road now improved ard
operating successfully, with the completion of a
branch road from ScOtt's Landing down to Park
ersburg, giving rail connection only broken by
ferry at the Ohio river, is also expected to
throw large increase Of traffic over the Par ksrs-
burg branch. The aggregate revenue of the main
stem, Washington branch, and Northwestern
Virginia road, amounts 10 - $40, 9I2 n being a
decrease flom the preceding year Of S571 $40 20
gratifying Circumstance connected with the
road, and most important event in the history
OF the Company, is the completion of the arching
OF every tunnel on the main stem from Baltimore
to Wheeling. In a significant and important
sense, the great work upon which Baltimore has
expended 80 much OF her means and ENTERPRISE
may now be said to be completed: The increase
OF It's commerce and the expansion of its busi-
ness interests with the interior may hereafter call
for an extension of the facilities Of the road an
augmentation Of its working power, or an increase
OF the double track; but the road itself in all its
great essentials, is now finished work, its eli.
ciencv, safety and psrmanency increased, and
source OF continual anxiety and accumulated ex.
penSe removed.
UH.W
commencement OF the year exceeded one million
Of dollars, has been reduced to SlS4 653 20, and
will be Equidated at an early period. The report
concludes with the expression OF a decided e.,
yicton OF the part of the Board thai, with proper
mana re nent, the payment Of cash dividends NAV
be resumed i,f Spril next.
