operation expenses in Delaware, nor has
it ever paid its operation expenses in or
out of the State.
The road has paid annually to the
State, in addition to the two hundred
and fifty dollars communication tax under
the act Of April 8, 1869, from $500 to
$500 under the act Of August II, 1864.
Delaware's proportion Of the net re-
ceipts of the Wilmington Il Northern
Railroad, exclusive of fixed charges, Tor
the year ending December 81, 1899, was
$l7,4S597 Deducting the said fixed
charges from said net receipts for said
year, ending December 81. 1899, there
was deficit of ss7,7222O, for said year,
in operating expenses. And such has
been the ease in years proceeding 1879
and 1900.
The company therefore submit to your
honorable committee that the tax at
present paid by the road is fair; and,
considering that the road is operated at
an annual loss, it would be unjust to
increase its rate of taxation. OF course
YOU will take into consideration that it
pays large taxes on its depot, work shops
and other properties.
Respectfully submitted by
A. G. McCausland.
Supt. W. L. N. X. K. Co.
DR.. Moore asked Mr.. McCausland for
tho full amount of taxes paid to the
State by tho company and the reply was
between Sa,650 and $4,000.

dealer. His objection was not sustained
however. and when he asked that the bill
