PROSPERITY OF IRISH RAILWAYS

England and Wales, where lines of two
or more tracks" represent precisely
two-thirds Of the total mileage.
In 1901 the gross receipts Of all the
railways Of ireland were only G3.S24. 900.
Working expenses were only g. .4O7. .2o5.
or 63 per cent, Of receipts, only slightly
lower than in England and Wales. and
decidedly higher than in Scotland. Net
receipts were thus e1.427.114. OF e1oa.-
600 lower than in 1900 The average
net return on capital was only 3I5 per
cent in ireland. whereas in other parts
Of the United Kingdom it was nearly 4
per cent. after allowing FOR nominal
additions TO capital.
The Irish railn-ay=. in spite of com-
paratively high rates. do not yield sat
isfactory financial results as a rule
The population is a somewhat sparse
and declining one. and the RAILWAYS are
split up into many small and dis
connected undertakings. entailing high
administration expenses.
