HUGE COAL BILL or RAILROADS
Locomotives Burn Many Thousands OF
Tons Of Fuel.


The bill for locomotive fuel Is tn
largest item Of expense for material
Incurred by railroads and IL average
n about Is per cent. OF the total on
Grating expense. The annual report
OF railroads. which are now comm!
out, give few figures relating TO fne
which help in forming an idea of III,
| enormous consumption Of coal by rail
roads in the year covered says Thu
| Railway Age.
Thus the report Of the Rock ISLAND
4 system for the year ended with June
4 1906, whom ii operated 1857 locomo
/ tives. shows that the coal bill was
nearly S5.000,00O. On the Chicago &
Northwestern for the same period
| when it operated l,3A2 locomotives
the cost for fuel for them was $5,362.,
! 600.
The interstate commerce commits.
sion statistics for the year 1904 shows
that the locomotive fuel bill for all
the railroads In the United States
amounted to $l5000O,0OO. II we take
the average cost of coal at $3.50 per
ton, which islinrobably high for the
whole countl%athis would represent a
consumption of 10G,00000o tons Of
caal The number OF locomotives
owned by railroads in the year 1901
was 1855, and assuming eight per
cent, Of these to be in the shop under
repairs, there remain 37,50S engines
IN service. and this number. divided
into 106,000000 tons gives 2,S26 tons
AS the average consumption Of coal
Per engine year.
Coming now to something more
definite, for a single road, we find
from the annual report of the Union
Pacific for the year ended with Juno,
1905, that 1t paid for its coal $3,394-
GSS and that me average cost per
ton was st76, so that the coal con
sumed by locomotives on that line
to 1,o2S.620 tons. The num-
her Of locomotives then owned was
@25, from which we deduct eight per
cent, leaving 7e7 in active service;
this figure divided into the tons, an
given, shows an average consumption
per engine year Of 2,5l5 tons.
In the Chicago C Alton annual re.
port fer the year ended with Iunc,
1906 we find the coal bin was $75t.-
700. and the average cost per ton was
II 30, which corresponds to CON
of 62S,3aa tons. The total /
snglne equipment is $50. less eight |
ser cent leaves $50 in active service,
which divided into the tons shows a
of 2,730 tons OF coal per
'ngine year. In the Lehigh Valley re- /
,ort for the same year there is4a
tatement showing that the locomo-
ives on that road made an average +
# 34.921 miles per year, and that the
oal consumption per engine mile was
52.4 pounds The product of these
wo figures gives 1921 $50 pounds, or
.666 tons per engine year This fig /
re lies between those obtained for i
he Alton and the Union Pacific, and /
70 may infer that the average con
umption of coal by locomotives on
dads having modern equipment Is
robably about $500 tors per year.

be borne IN mind, however. that such pension
system would diner radically from that for the
benefit Of disabled or aged soldiers who are sur
vivors of a war. Its cost would not be con-
stantIy diminishing with the deaths Of its bene-
hciaries but would be kept at the full figure by
the constant replenshing of the roll and, indeed
would actually increase for a number Of years
because many lives would be prolonged by the
granting OF pensions.

nav old age pensions on the full scale which has
been suggested. But Il would, Of course, be con-
ditioned and dependent upon the continued pros
peritv OF British trade OF which there is no in
fallible assurance Moreover. there would be
much cIamor from the payers Of income tax for
relief from or at least tightening Of their bur-
den. instead Of a confirmation and perpetuation
of IL through an Increase in the fixed charges OF
the treasury While, therefore, the urgent need
of some aid for the aged poor Is obvious, there
will be on the part of many a strong preference
for some fiscal and industrial system which
would diminish the number Of aged dependents
by promoting thrift and increasing opportunities
and ability to secure a competency beyond the
need OF state aid. This latter is, at any rate, the
ideal system, and in some degree it is not only
ideal but also sufficiently practical to make II
worth while for every government and every
nation to strive for its realization.
