The sum of 50, $50 was saved annually
to the Edgefeld and Kentucky Railroad be-
cause one-third of the salaries was paid by
the Evansville, Henderson and Nashville
Railroad.
That the agreement for the Joint opera
tion of the two roads was beneficial to the
State of Tennessee and to the Edgefield and
Kentucky Railroad, is apparent from what
was saved in salaries. The one road, less
than A. miles long, and the other less than
% miles long, making together about y
miles of road, it is plain that one set of
officers and employees can operate both
roads as cheaply as either one of them can
be operated The only difference would be
in the additional amount of cost of repairs,
fuel, oil, etc.
The great advantage TO the State and 10
the Edgefield and Kentucky Railroad of the
joint running arrangement will more
clearly appear from the following tabular
