THE PENNSYLVANIA CENTRAL AND N0RTiIERN
ROADS.
To the Editor Of The ~ Y. Tr,buas.
One OF the morning papers states that, under the
arrangement or compact made between the four lises
of IA road the two Southern Lncs-i g. the Peaasyt-
yana Central and the Baltimore ADD Ohio Railroads.
possess great advantage over the Northern routes
Allow me TO suggest that this is an error. That paH
of the compact was proposed by the NewYork Roads.
The proposition 10 make difference bet seen water
and all rail" rates wss made by Mr.. Moran, snd con-
c.ded by Mr. Garrett Of the Baltimore and Ohio. Mr.
Thompson, Of the Pennsylvania Central, contended
that the dfert nee should be grester, but finally

Southern lines are obliged TO, and do charge much

That their lines have derived no advantage from the
is very evident from the fact that since
il was entered into their receipts have been reduced.
TIE receipts Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for
the month Of December shows a decrease OF $H 000
over the corresponding month Of last year. The state
mept of the Pennsylvania Central has not yet been
published, but it viii, withou, doubt also show de-
crease.
