REMARKABLE RECORD REGARD.
ING INSOLVENCIES.
BUT ONE REcElvERsHIP
And That for the Short Period of Four
Months-In Year 1893 Alone No
Less Than Seventy-Four Roads
Went Into Bankruptcy-Other Sta
tistics.

Chicago, July 3.-The Railway age
says that the year 1902, has, SO far,
been the most remarkable period in the
fifty years of railway history in respect
to insolvencies and receiverships.
Since January 1 only one operating
railway, the New York and Pennsyl-
vania, 81 miles long, has been place i
in the hands of receiver and that
broke all previous records for brevity
of stay. The receivership covered the
short season of four months.
"The Railway Age, therefore, for
the first time in it's history, cannot re-
port a railway for which a receiver has
been appointed and continued in the
current six months. During the TWEEN
ty-six and one-half years in which the
record mas been kept it has shown the
appointment of receivers for 639 roads,
covering 114,400 miles and represent
ing stocks and bonds aggregatins
1921, $4,000.
In a single year, 1893, no less tnan
"a roads went into bankruptcy, with
29,34O miles and $1,781, 100000 in stock
and bonds. But since that year IF
greatest financial calamity, failures
rapidly decreased and reorganization.
have gone on at equal speed, so that to-
day the era of railway receiverships
may be said to be ended"
