The statement of the Boston and Maine
railroad for the three months ending June
80 and the fiscal year has just been issued.
The balance remaining to the credit of
profit and loss is only about 81 900 against
S211, 1856 for the preceding year. The com
pany, however, put intonew equipment dur
ing the year S53S,327 against 1918, 1913 for
the previous year. However, as even more
will have to be put into equipment during
the coming year, the gross earnings will
have TO show a relatively greater gain than
they have during the past year for the
road to maintain its present position. The
operating expenses have increased in nearly
the same amount as the gross earnings.
