art, Mr.. Sherman of Ohio, made a
strong speech in support Of the sec
retary's power and duty to issue and
sell bonds
He expressed his regret that any
body should be found now to question
that authority. 1t was almost unpa-
triotic to do so at q time when the
revenues of the government were in

the course of Mr.. Sherman'S remarks
he said that he did not believe that
it was the duty of the secretary of

had no right to apply it to current ex-
penses. There was no authority of law
for that.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ABOUT 100000 GREATER THAN RE
PORTED.
THE COST OF NEW RAILS. ENGINES. ETC,
CHARGED TO OPERATING EXPENSES.
INSTEAD OF EQUIPMENT OR
CAPITAL ACCOUNT.

CAPITAL ACCOUNT.
Il has come out that the net earnings Of the
Manhattan Railway for the last year were about
500 90 more than the annual report represented
them 10 be- 1t is evident from the fact that the
managers Of the road allowed report OF the kind
t. be issued that they wished to encourage the
idea that the road was not making much money
II seems that a large number Of new rails have
been bought and laid during the year; engines have
been purchased and new cross-ties put in. The cost
OF these. amounting to about 10000 was charged
10 the operating expenses account. 1t is the gen
eral rule with railroads in this country 10 charge
up expenses OF this kind 10 equipment or capital
account. II is said that several of the big roads
used 70 DO the thing the Manhattan has done
their managers did not wish to let the public
know hat the net earnings were much more than
the usual dividends.
Russell Sage admits that large number Of new
ninety pound rails laid last year; that twenty
new engines bought that many cross-tie
were replaced, and that the cost OF all OF them
was added TO the operating expenses.
Colonel Haln did not apparently. think II strange
that the road should charge these expenditures 10
the operating account. He said that the company
had laid nnety-pound rails on the Second sixth
and Ninth lines. The twenty new engines had
cost $50 apiece, and the cross-ties Sf.m Inc
eost Of these had been put on the operating ac-
count but nifty cars. which had been bought.
were charged 10 the account of equipment ana
obstruction. They had done the same thing in
the previous year. he said. and intended also 10
tne Thrd-ave line to the operating expenses next
year.
1t is estimated that the new rails cost about
1880; the engines $1,000. and the cross-ties
1900 making little less than $4,000
road has severely criticised In some quarters
ior dverting the account and so hlding me i reat
the surplus was only $4,000 while in reality 1t
would have been about ssiOVc.
