Answering the criticism OF the plan OF reorgan!za-

the nature of a query whether the fixed charges OF
the new company are we'll within its earning capac-
ity the Reorganization Committee say that they
estimating the earning capacity of the system they
say that the net earnings for the year 1894 must not
be regarded in any sense as normal. The operating
expenses of that year exceeded n per cent OF the
gross earnings because OF unusual charges TO oper-
ating expenses.
The physical condition OF the road is now better
than at any time and. except for new rails needed
In certain regions and one new steel bridge all or

The above figures show what the road can do In
spite of low price of silver and the consequent
closing Of many mines. The people interested IN
the reorga MIA ton believe that the road can pros

course any revival OF that interest would result In
increased earnings.

law was recodifed principally by Incorporating the
penalties in each section but no change Whatever
was suggested in regard to trout, except that the
open season outside of Long Island was made uni

part:
No change in regard to the open and close seasons
of Long Island was ever thought OF, suggested or
proposed, and there was occasion Tor the repre-
she Legislature a for the purpose Of preventing
change In the law. but an amendment was mace
