Tinker ae snnrrintendent And later ~ Vice
President ana General MANAGER The husiness
of the road has shown Il wonderful increase.
During this period the number of miles operaI-
ed has grown from $50 to 90 by the lease of
the European and North American from Ban
gur 10 Nanceboro' the Eastern Maine from
Bangor 10 Bucksport and the Shore Line from
Bangor TO Bar Harbor Ferry. The annual
earnings of this road have increased from ST.,
/ :.
ings per mile from S4099 to S5364. The net
earnings per rlile have also increased from
&l691 10 S2049 In 1878 there was deficit
after paving interest and rentals of S21 ,269,
but in 1884 there WAS "A surplus of S225, $50, out
( of which din idtnd> at tile rate of six per cent.
We're paid The market value of the stock has
also increased from Sl1 share in 1873 to so
in 1854 and the seven per cent. consols from
SIS and $50 in 1878 to S12l and Sl23 III 1884.
Mr.. Jackson has given his undivided attention
to the management of the road, and has been
personally very popular among its patrons.
Mr.. Sewall. his successor. has also had IA good
deal of railroad experience, and will without
doubt be Il popular president of the corpora
lion. Owing to his other large business inter-
terests he will probably allow Mr.. Tucker more
latitude in the management of the road than
heretofore. and considering the popularity and
great business capacity of the latter it is safe
to say that the present prosperity of the road
will be maintained and probably increased as
the Business Shall warrant it.
