It has already been suggested that the accounts
for superstruction, bridges, masonry, &c, which
have increased 81 80 per cent during the five years
from Sept. 80, 1870 to same date 1875, were
swelled by charges that properly belonged to mann
tenance roadway and tracks and therefore charge
able against current earnings instead OF new eapi-
tai. Whether the subjoiued analysis justifes such
a suspicion, the reader may form his own Judgment
