DELAWARE. LACKAWANNA AND WEST
ERN

The report Of the Delaware, Iackawanna and
Western Railroad for the year ended December 81
shows. of course, a big decrease in earnings from
transportation of coal. compared with 1901, but
in other departments transportation receipts
nibited striking gains the records of the pre-
ceding year. Miscellaneous freight increased S%4i
725. and with earnings from passenger traffic mail
express and milk. showed total gain of $i99oif.
The report is exhaustive one. and demonstrates
clearly the intelligent use of the companys prop
erty by President Truesdale in the introduction of
modern railroad methods in fitting the road for
the speedy and economical handling of increased
freight and passenger traffic. 1t is interesting 10
note the progress made in its earning capacity as
between the year 1902 and that of 1895 which prac
tiCally marks the period of the present manage
ment. Extraordinary expenditures were made in
this period for betterments in rcaying of track
erection of bridges. stations. remodelling of
terminal yards. installation of automatic signal
systems and bridges which include locomotive and
other equipment but In spite of such expenditures
the yearly earning capacity has been increased by
about s2,500,GO0
