Murray's Dream Realized.

Murray's Dream Realized.
The report of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad COMPANY for the fiscal
wear ended June 30 Is the best in the
history Of the Company. 1t includes
the operations of the Baltimore and
Ohio South Western ana fulsils IN
every respect the predictions made by
Messrs. John X. Cowen and Oscar G..
Murray when as receivers they plan
ed and carried out the daring finan-
cial |proposition of plunging a then
bankrupt p~ronerty millions of dollars
deeper into debt. This heroic treat
ment resulted in establishing q secure
basis for the future expansion and
prosperity of the Company. 1t inau-
gurated the great camDaign of recon
struction and the is still
able to carry this ont on the broad
lines upon which il was originated.
1t was the dream of the receivers to
make the earnings of the Company
$50. 900. 900 a wear. This is more than
realized.
When thew took charge in 1896 the
gross earnings we're less than s24.
600. 900. Since that time it is a con
servatiye estimate TO say that SO,
600. 600 have been Spent upon the con
struction of the system. When the
receivers began their work the equity
of the stock holders was worth approx
imatelv So, 600. 600. Today it is worth
over 500, 600 600.
