4 Business Review.

A review If the business transacted during
| the year 1897 shows that although Bel Air Is
an inland town and several miles distant from
any Of TIE through or trunk lines OF railroad,
the amount of business for the year, when
summed up, is one to which the citizens may
revert with pride.
y glance at the books OF the Baltimore and
Lehigh Railway will show figures which are
surprising in their magnitude. Through the
kindness of the agent at Bel Air, we have
been able to CLEAN the following figures:
During the year SOC carloads of freight were
received at Bel Air. including these items.
265 ears loaded with coal, averaging 10000
lbs. TO each car, and aggregating a gross
amount of 3, 900 tons; AZ carloads of lumber
81 OF lime; 20 of brick; 20 of empty flour barrels;
. of feed aud bran: IL of wheat; IS of fertiliz-
ers, aggregating about ,6ST tons; % Of empty
tin cans; of slate and stone; & of corn; 8 OF
farm wagous and implements; 10 of coal Oil;
OF household goods; 4 Of salt; l OF straw; l
OF hue lining; aud 216 cars loaded with way
freight.
During the same time one hundred and
seventy-six carloads of freight were shipped
frem Bel Air over the same road, including
lO5 carloads Of canned goods, averaging
% 600 lbs. each; IS of flour, containing about
/ 200 bb!s.; - of wheat; 6 of hay. The bal
ance was made up of miscellaneous articles.
The amount of freight received weighed
Ii, S27 COO lbs, while that forwarded, reached
the sum of 4, 343, 900 lbs.
