operating 6,S3S miles, have had their
recetverships closed In addition there
nave been added Is roads during the
year, owning 1.132 miles and operating

Is per cent and the mileage operated
20 about per cent of the entire rniIa-

the entire railroad stock and bonds OF

the Baltimore & Ohio operating over

1t IS not improbable that the end of the
