The report of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company for the year end

pany was no less prosperous last
year than the other coal roads. Com
pared with 1904, It's gross earning
increased $1,304,104, while its OPP
Grating expenses only increased
$19,400. The gross earnings for the
year were $31,275,S42 and~the OPP
Grating expenses were $1S,SS9,704.
The net earnings were $12,3S6,-

ed charges were $7,446,2 62, an in
crease of only $4,000, the surplus

betterments $1,974,537 as against
practically nothing the previous
year. According to the report only
$50 was spent for betterments in the

duly recorded with an eXactitude
which might well be copied by some
