Rock Island Finances Are Still in
Encouraging Condition.


Commenting on Rock Island finances,
the Chicago Post says: For the twelve
months ended May 30, 1902. the separate
properties earned a total share surplus
of approximately $4,000 900. Substract~
ing the interest on the $24, 600 900 4 per
cent bonds issued for the Choctaw
stock, 600 (the stock of the other
subsidiary companies was acquired by
exchange for old Rock Island stock,
leaves a surplus of SS040.0O0 for the old
stock. Adding the above gain in net for
six months makes a total of s. 925, 1853,
equivalent to almost z per cent on the
SIS 0000 600 old stock issued. Divided
among the new securities, this total is
equivalent to 4 per cent on the s75.000,-

600 new. preferred and almost exactly ,
per cent on the SIS, 900 coo new common
These results are for the twelve months
ended November 80, 1902.
1t is maintained in some quarters that
the new common is earning at the rate
of from u to Is per cent per annum.
This is strange, considering that the old
stock has earned no more in the last
twelve months. The error IS made by
assuming that the earnings of the en-
tire year will continue at the same rate
as in the fail months. Of course there

to get reasonable concessions for the
Rock Island system on account Of its
new lines. the ChOctaW and the FL Paso
routes.
This ends a long struggle in which
the Rock Island has cOntended that on
account Of the changed conditions,
brought about by its extension of new
lines far into the western territory, it
was entitled to a new adjustment of the
prOportiOnate amount Of business which
was carried; in other words, that the
new extensions be taken into account.
The older lines doing through bust
ness in that territory could not agree
as to how this was to be accomplished,
the problem being made knOtty by rea-
son of the fact that someone would have
to relinquish revenues heretofore en-
gent to recognize the new lines led the
Rock Island to assume its stand.
