FUTURE OF THE L. E. & w.
THE ROAD MAY SOON PASS INTO THE
CONTROL OF NEW PARTIES.
The G., b. & q. to Meet the Latest
Time Schedule of the Chicago q
Northwestern and other Roads.

An Eastern financial editor after making
comparisons of the earnings of the Lake
Erie & Western for several years past,
speaks of its future as follows: "Rumors
have lately been current of a change o.
control of the Lake Erie & Western system,
of which the late Senator l3rice was presi-
dent. Unquestionably there has been a
change in the holdings of certain large in
terests in the property, and IL would not
be surprising If it should result eventually
in the transfer of the property to another
system. The net earnings since 1892 have
not increased. All that the company has
been able to do is to earn aoout the same
amount in gross for about the same amount
of expenditure, having produced and sold
much larger quantity of transportation. 1t
may be noted in passing that the Northern
Ohio purchase has so far proved in enc
sense drain the properly in that it
has cost something like $125,yJ0 a year. 1t
IS proper to say, however, that owner
ship of this road has in all probability pro-
tected business for the company that it
would otherwise have lost to other roads
connecting with its connections. On the
whole, however, Erie & Western mas
seen its fixed charges increase without a
corresponding increase in net earnings, and
1t has now come to the point where Givi-
dends may possibly be reduced.
THE future of the road PROBABLY depends
largely on the extent to which it has been
modernized so far as its physical condi-
tion goes. 1t is understood that eaamina-
tion is being made as to this, and upon
the results of the examination VIII de-
pend whether or not the property passes
definitely into other hands AS the road
stands it is probably a good example of
the continuous pressure on the tr9nsporta-
ton industry for better facilities Cor pro-
ducing cheap transportation.

L. e. & w. Dividends Suspended.


The officers of the Lake Erie & Western
Railroad Company yesterday issued, at New
York. circular to the preferred stockhold-
ers announcing a suspension of dividends.
The circular says: 1.-THE expectations as to
the earnings of the company entertained at
the time of the payment of the last divi-
dend, have not been realized. The net earn
ings Of the company after payment of fixed
charges for the year ending Dec. 81 1885,
as nearly as can be estimated by the Off
GERS of the company, are $4,000, the amount
paid in dividends is $444,000, the amount nee
essary to make up the deficiency upon the
interest guaranteed by the road on the
Northern Ohio bonds is $125000, and, in adj
dition TO these sums, it has been essential
TO eXpend 100000 upon the purchase of rails
and betterments, making total of $769, 900.
1t is, therefore. perfectly clear that no fur
Their dividends can be paid out of the earn
ings for the present year, and the sugges-
tiOn that money should be borrowed for that
purpose, or that additional securities of the
company should be sold, are. considering
the prices which can be obtained for those
securities, both inadmiss9ble. In reference
to the length of time which may be ex-
pected TO elapse before the payment of dVi-
dendS can be resumed the management
feels bound to say to you that it will be
necessary to eXpend upon the property dur
ing the next two years upwards of $4,000
for the purchase of new steel and air brakes.
In addition to these immediate disburSe-
mentS for the maintenance of the property,
the company has one or two large Obliga-
tons, which will be the subject of future
consideration" The circular is signed by +.
w. Whitridge, chairman of the board of di-
rectors. No further information concerning
the action of the directors was vouchSafed.
