Section ia. Chapter 81 of the Re-
vised Statutes directs that "A ma
iority of the board, annually, between
the first of April and October, and at
any other time on application, or
whenever they think necessary shah
carefully examine the tracks, rolling
stock, bridges. viaducts and culverts
of all railroads"
Having made the necessary eXamin-
ations. the commissioners find that the
railroads are in a safe condition and
made. as will be seen fully by the re-
ports of the condition of each rail-
road.
During the year 1902 the work of
the board continued to increase. Be-
sides making the annual or semi-an-
nual examinations of all the railroads
in the State, as required by statute,
II petitions and other matters have
been heard at places convenient for
the petitioners, requiring more than 100
hearings and continued meetings of the
board, other than hearings held for the
investigation of accidents. To meet
the requirements thus imposed the
board has travelled more than $4,000
miles during the year.
Part IL contains the official report
of the action of the board upon all
matters to Nov. 30 1902 Then follows
condensed tabulations of steam and
street railroads and an appendix con-
tanning reports covering the business
operations for the year.

The latest report of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, giving the
casualties upon the railroads in the
United States for year 1901, shows that
there were l passenger killed to 2,152,-

passenger miles. The number of
passengers injured was one to 121,743
carried and 1 injured to 3,479,O61
passenger miles.
These comparisons show conclusive!y
that the risk of life and limb is con-
sidel ably less i'll Maine than in the
country at large.
1t may be Of interest to learn that

ually increased since 1888, when the
number killed was j2S2 and injured,

There were employed upon the rail
roads i'll Maine, not excluding general
officers 7447 persons of which 1440 Were
trainmen. The total number of en-
ployes killed was 8 and 1876 injured,
agaist II killed and 152 injured in 1901.
The ratios of casualties show that
one of every 93l employees were killed
and 54 injured. OF trainmen, the most
dangerous class of employment, there
was / killed to $50 employed and l in
iured to every Il employed. The num-
! her of trainnen killed was 4 and in

manse amount Of valuable informal
tion concerning the railroads of the

value to those interested in the growth
and development of Names railroad

The report says that 20 railroad cor
polations, located wholly or in part in
Maine. whose roads are operated by
steam. and nineteen street railways
whose roads are operated. with one eX-
ception by electricity, have made
theiy annual returns for the year end

Fourteen Of the roads operated by
steam are standard gauge and seven
are narrow or two feet gauge roads.

Inasmuch as the earnings of thos'
roads operated only in part in Maine
are not given by states. deductions
have to be made in order to get at tn
earnings which properly belong t
Maine. A careful and conservative
estimate has been made and the resul
is as follows:
