The railroad expert believes that the
number OF revenue tons hauled per
mile is the best indication of a rail-
roads ability to handle traffic at the
lowest cost OF transportation. AS is
we'll known, the receivers Of the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad have been
spending millions IN improvements
and have not completed the work. the
lines west Of the Ohio river being in
need of a general rehabilitation, which
they are to get this year. But the
revenue haul per mile in 1898 was
increased to 314 tons and a special re-
port for the six months ending De-
cember 81, 1898, shows an average OF
1919 tons, quite an appreciable ad-
vance. 1t is confidently expected that
still further improvement will be
shown before long.
