1t will be gratifying to sharehold-

that OF the S,lS6,359 tons of freight
carried over the road during the past
year, only l5S,26a tons of through
freight has passed from points east of
Philadelphia TO and from Pittsburgh
and the West, 81 1862 tons to and from
Baltimore, while 330,959 tons of
through freight have been carried to

The remainder, 2,635,274 tons was

stations, and from them to and from

NEW SERIES--VOL. 7, NO. 80.

TO save the object the Company haC
in view in making these investments
and in providing the means necessary
to effect them That they have re
quired outlays, 10 secure the origina
objects, far exceeding any just expect
alton at the time they were entered
into, is quite true but this has arisen
from the inadequate stock basis fur
nished by their shareholders for the
completion Of these works and the
subsequent increased cost of building
railways The result, however, We
think will justify the policy of this
Company.
These extraordinary outlays were
commenced while the traffic of this
lino was comparatively email, and
burthened by heavy impost levied
by the State, and assessed upon no
other competing line, greatly dimin.
lshing its ability to meet these neces-
sary expenditures TO ensure the pros
perity Of the State-and from which
burthen it was only released upon
condition that the Company would
apply the unpaid instalments towards
the construction of the Miffiin and
Centre County, Bedford, Bald Eagle
Valley, Tyrone and Clearfeld, Ebens-
burg and Cresson, Western Pennsyl-
vania, and the Pittsburgh and Steu-
benville Railroads.&c. improvements
within the Commonwealth. The ef.
feet Of this mandate was the same as
that which followed the appropriations
made by the stockholders to Western
lines, already stated, entailing upon
this Company either the loss of the
whole investment directed to be made,
or advances Of the additional amounts
required to complete these works.
The Board saw no other alternative
but TO meet this difficulty by the adop-
tion Of liberal and active policy, and
thus bring all II these lines into pro-
ouctiveness asspeedily as practicable.
The outlays necessary to secure this
object, from the causes already refer
red TO, have been very large, but the
results have proved much more salts
factory than if the original expendi-
lures had been suffered TO remain un-
productive, as would have been the
case il they had simply fulfilled the
requirements Of the law. The fur
thcr extension OF some of these lines
will still be necessary to enable them
TO become productive and meet the
wants Of the districts they were built
to accommodate.
We have thus presented 10 you the
extent, and the causes for the unusu-
ally heavy expenditures made by this
Company on account ofits tributaries.
Their magnitude has made it neccssa-
ry, not only TO protect the investments
made in them, but also TO secure the
control Of other lines important to
their success. This policy has event
uated in a system which includes the
Philadelphia and Erie and Northern
Central Railroads, by which the Com
pany's cars find their way over con-
tinuous and unbroken lines, under one
control, from Columbus, Erie and Pitts
burgh to Philadelphia and Baltimore.
The earnings and expenses Of the
Pennsy ylvania Railroad, and the roads
worked by it, except the Philadelphia
and Erie Railroad, were for 1866 as
follows:

The whole number Of passengers
carried 10 1865 was 2,S6l $50, and
during the past year, 2,673, sos. The
average distance travelled by each
passenger was 50 miles, and the pre-
vious year ia miles this difference
being due TO the larger amount of
