RAILROADS ARE

REPORTS FILED WITH RAILROAD
COMMITS SlON.
The Frisco Reduces Deficit and West
ern Union Shows a Healthy
Increase.

JACKSON, Mss, May 1.-THE Mis-
cissippi Railroad Commission has re-
ce!ved the statistical report Of the
Frisco Railroad, covering its property
in Mississippi, which is upon the leas
ed road of the Kansas City, Memphis
G. Birmingham. The estimated value
of all the companys property in the
state, at par, is $5,462 ,319.S9. The en-
tire indebtedness of the line. in and
out of the state, at par, is $15,622,-
what less, being placed at S10,16S,S17,
one-half is accredited to Mississippi,
where Just half the mileage is located,
mississippis mileage being 142.S6
miles. 1t is explained, however. that
this basis is not a fair one, because
of the more valuable terminal facll-
tiles in Memphis.
The report of the earnings and eX-
penses shows a dificit of $27,642 80 in
1908, against SOCIETIES. for 1907.
The quarterly report of the Western
Union Telegraph company for the
quarter ending March 31st has just
been filed. showing total receipts of
$41,756.3S: an increase Of $2,429.91 for
the corresponding quarter last year.
The operating expenses are given at
S37,G3SSG, a decrease of 81 0091S.
the net earnings were $4117.52 an
increase of $6,439O9 over the same
quarter q ear ago, when there was a
defic s..
The commission has also received
the quarterly report of the American
Express Company for the quarter end
ing March 31st, and the figures are
interesting as showing wholesale sal
airy reductions to make good the de-
creased earnings as compared with
The corresponding quarter last year,
every salary account having been re-
duced about one-third and the only
entry in the expense showing an in
| cerase was taxes which were about
doubled, due to the action of the last
legislature in imposing heavy priv
ilege taxes upon all express compa-
MES.
The total receipts on Mississippi
business for the quarter were $29,131,-
26 a decrease Of $l9,73O9S. The op-
Grating expenses were $21674.7O, de-
crease Of $9S6.55, thus keeping the
two big reductions about as nearly to-
gether as sould have been done by
advance circulation.
