are about 952h miles of main line
and $50 miles of side tracks. During
the two years ending July l, 1890,
there were 13S casualties. of which

and fourteen of the injured having
been passengers The fatalities to

amounted to 80, and the injured II
a thorough examination has been
made in the case of every accident.
and the report contains the findings
in all cases. The opinion is expressed
that the local freight business has to
pay a heavy tribute to the through
business, and the suggestion is made
that the board be given authority to
make schedules. As to passenger
traffic the hope is entertained "that
some of the limitations and restric-
lions now attached to mileage tick
cts may be eliminated, thereby en-
couraging and securing a still freer
use of them. And it also entertains
the hope that all of the railroad COM
Danies will see their way clear at an
early day to make such reductions
in local passenger rates as to remove
this alleged inequality"

According to the report of the Yer
mont railroad commissioners, only
five companies have declared divi-
dends in the past two years, and they
embrace only a small fraction of the
states Undergraduates and st.
Lawrence, Bennington and Rutland,
Fitchburg New London Northern,
and Valley. Nevertheless the aver
age earning per passenger per mile
were for the past year 20 cents,
which exceeds the rate of any other
section of roads, averaged by groups
of states in the country. The freight
receipts per ton per mile average A
cents, which is about what the rates
for all the New England roads to
gether will average. But these fig
ures give no idea of what the local
rates are; for it is well known that
the Central Vermont, for example,
carries through freight often at a
loss and makes up the difference on
local charges. If the Vermont rail-
roads would try the policy of devel-
oping local traffic, instead of crush
ing it to gain an unremunerative
through traffic, the stockholders
might be paid 81 small dividend once
in ten years, or thereabouts.- TSping-
