OF The |. v.
POpuIal Railroad Is Branching
Out R.'d Anticipates Another
Biz Year.

The fifty-firsi ann 1al report of the
Lehigh Valley Rail :oad Company.
the details of which have already
been made known, shows a state of
prosperity, which shc7lld be crafty
ing to any n Interested in the well
fare of the company
The property was fully maintain
ed during the year, and in addition,
many substantial improvements
we're made in the matt er of equip
ment, stone ballast, co nstructing and
extending yards and 81 de tracks, re-
building bridges, etc, in line with
the policy of the prese mt manage
ment to keep the property up to the
highest standard of efficiency in OPP
Grafton and earning power.
Among the important items of con-
struction are the new shops at Sayre,
now practically completed, and plac-
ed in partial operation. The opera
ton of these shops will lid very
largely in minimizing the expense OF
repairs to equipment, and thus result
in a saving to the company.
The policy of the company to en-
ter new fields for traffic and thus en-
large its scope of operation, is shown
in the movement of building branch
lines to manufacturing and shipping
points not heretofore reached con
%veniently. where this construction
can be done at reasonable expense.
A branch line was constructed dur
ing the year from Elizabeth, to Irv-
ington, a distance of about three
miles, and a large freight house and
coal pockets built at Irvington. This
line will be a source of a large traf-
fc increase from the growing district
which it serves.
Work has also been done to i'm
prove terminal conditions at Tiff
Farm, in Buffalo, which gives in
creased and improved facilities I'M
der the control of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company, for the expedi-
tious and more economical handling
of it's increasing tonnage.
Work of a similar nature has also
been lone at other points, with a
view to increasing traffic. During
the year ffty-two new industries
were located along the line, and
track connection made with forty
two of them.
The commercial growth of the
country and the opportunities for in
dustrial development of the territory
served by the Lehigh Valley railroad,
the progressive methods of the man
agement of the company, its increas-
ing business and net earnings, make
it a line of importance in eastern
railway affairs.
