The number of tons moved over this rail-
road during the year was 1,614, 287 against
1902, ,041 tons in 1869. The average charge
made per ton per mile on freights was l 290-
1000 cents, which is within 3O4-100O cents of
the actual cost of its transportation. The
road passes through sparsely populated re-
gion and meets the direct competition of the
Erie Railway. the rates upon which have not
for many years been adjusted with q view to
dividends TO its shareholders.

The only item of income that shows de-
crease is from freIghts, and this has occurred
nnder an increased tonnage of 401, ,060 tons,
and is mainly accounted for by the reduction
of freight charges-wi any legitimate
object-during the past summer and autumn,
by the New York ines to point much below
the cost of transportation.
The gross revenues for 1870 are equal to
$46,971'25 per mile for the main line of
railroad.
The whole number of passengers carried in
1869 was 4, 229, 363 and in 1870, 4,352, 7G9,
an increase of 1913, ,406, nearly per cent.
The average distance travelled by each pas
sepger was "a G5-100 miles, being 43-100 of
mile greater than in 1869.
The number of tons of freight moved (in-
cluding 376, $50 tons of fuel and other ma
terials transported for the company was
5,S04 051, embracing 9, 800 309 tons of coal
1t was last year 5, ,402, 991 tons.
The average charge per net ton per mile
upon freights, during the year, was l $4,000
cents, against 71S-1600 cents last year, and
9-10 the year previous; and per passenger,
49-1O0 cents per mile, against 51-1O0
cents last year, or an average decrease in
freight charges of 8 $40 per cent, and in
passenger charges of $40 of one per cent.
per mile.
The actual cost of operating your railroad,
including branch lines, in 1S70 was 80 15-100
per cent. of its receipts.
