The expenditures in new iron and steel
rail this year have been 81, 987.92 in excess
Of last year, which has been charged dt-
rectly to operating expenses; hence, had
they only expended the same amount Tor
new rail this year as was expended last year,
their net earnings this year would have only
showed a decrease of $12, 1922, as com.
pared with the preceding fiscal year, divided
rs follows:
Decrease in passenger earnings. ....-...$ 5,99S SO
Decrease in freight earnings. ........." 6,257 "a
s12,156 %
The decrease in receipts this year Is main
ly attributable to two causes: First, to the
flight" that was inaugurated early last
summer and isstill going on between the
acater and rail lines operating between Bal
timore, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Weldon,
Morehead city, Newborn, Goldsboro', Ra-
leigh, and intermediate points, which has
not only diverted freight and travel from
this road, but also compelled reduction
of rates to meet the low ruling rates held
by these Fighting" lines. Second, since
about the 1st of October, 1875, the Glover
Hill Company has done its own transporta-
ton, and shipped its coal to Richmond via
Osborne's and the James river.
