The pamphlet report of the Erie Railroad Com
pany for the fiscal year ended June 30 last was
issued yesterday. The income account. balance
sheet and traffic statistics have recently been pub
lished Referring TO the company's plans for bring
ing its trains into this city by tunnel, President
Underwood says
"A contract with the Hudson & Manhattan
Railroad. granting this company the OF the
tunnels under construction and certain tunnels
hereafter 10 be constructed under the Hudson
River together with the Of valuable terminal
facilities in New York has been entered into, to
become partially effective at the time of the COM
pletion OF the Hudson & Manhattan line and to
become further effective at such time as your COM
pany may complete its improvements at Jersey City
and avail itself of the additional facilities which
the Hudson & Manhattan company is under con-
tract 10 construct"
At the annual meeting yesterday of the stock
holders George F. Baker, William c. Lane J. G.
Mccullough and A i. Orr were reelected directors
for a term of four years. Some of the stockhold-
ers expressed the opinion that the directors were
subject criticism for declaring the recent divi-
dends on the first and second preferred stock in
scrip President Underwood. however assured
stockholders that the action Of the directors
was for the ultimate benefit OF the stockholders
The annual report also defends the stem saving
that the board of directors, while recognizing the
claims OF the preferred stockholders TO norton of
the surplus income from the operations of the
last year, has deemed IL wise to conserve the
cash in the treasury and the current income of
the company TO meet obligations already incurred
and continue the improvements so necessary to
handle the volume of traffic offered at reasonable
expense. and has therefore, declared dividends on
the preferred shares at the customary rate but
payabe at some time in the future. thus giving the
company the use Of fuhds which cannot be secured
on reasonable terms from other sources"
