c. & O.'S GOOD YEAR.
President ingalls, Submits His Annual
Report.

The report of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway, for 1896, which has been sub
mitted by President n. E. ingalls,, is a
most favorable showing, considering the
disadvantages under which railroads in all
sections of the country have Iabored for
the past year.
First of all, the report shows that the
gross earnings of the road have reached
the large aggregate OF S1o.o21 ,13I, a
sum which has not been exceeded save in
1888, when the Worlds Fair wasinp progress
at Chicago, and even in that year the
excess was only about 81 200. .-
The careful management. which is now
marked feature Of the road, is shown in
the fact that while the receipts have thus
Increased, the percentage of operating ex-
penses is only per cent greater than
for the last two years, and Z per cent
less than in 1892. The net earnings were
the largest in the history OF the company.
The company has operated its own line
by way OF Lexington into Louisville since
April 1. but the earnings and expenses
OF that division have been kept separately,
SO far the contract has not proved q
burden, and 1t 10 believed that It will
be profitable one In the future Interest

the charges OF last year.
