The foregoing statement Is made in accordance
with vote passed at the last annual meeting Of the
BratlebOro Whitehall Railroad Co., aud shows the
receipts and operating expenses for the year ending
Dec 81 1888 This statement shows gain in receipts
the previous year Of about 10 per cent, aud re-
duction in expenses of about per cent showing
nominal proht OF nearly SG,0O000 but Il will be noc-
ed no charge is made In this statement for the pay
ment of interest upon the floating aud bonded debt
this debt amounts to some S20OOO It is easily seen
that at least $4,000 per aunum is required from some
source to pay the This has been the case sub
antaly each year since the railroad was opened, and
II should be distinctly understood that this animal
charge for interest is met by the Central Vernon;
railroad Co.. and by so far as this amount exceeds the
net earnings is loss borne by the Central Vermont
Railroad Co. And 1t may be in place here to say that
had It not been for the willingness of the New Lon

the completion Of the road, and Of the Central Yer
