RAILROADS AND
COST OF LIVING
Representatives Deny Com
panieS Are in ANY Way Re-
SpOnSible for Conditions

NEW YORK FEB. 5.--The representa-
tives Of the Eastern railroads issued tho
q allowing statement. on behalf OF the rail-
roads, to-day
AT time when active efforts are be-
ms made. to ax the responsibility for
higher prices it should be made ain
that the railroads have not IN any way
been responsible for the increase in the
cost OF living. They have been the victims
Of high prices without benedtdBg from
them at all
'This statement is not ono OF opinion
is one Of fact, supported by the official
figures Of the United states Government.
II beef. OF pork. cr flour. or any other
commodity. costs more now than It cost
ten years ago. not even tho fraction of a
cent Of the increase can be charged 70
transp- rtation.
"The figures gathered 10y the Inter
state Commerce Commission show that
the level OF freight rates has declined
steadily. in iSe7 1t cost a little less than
four-hfths OF cent to ship ton OF
freight one mnei eleven years later, in 1903
tho ton-milo rate was stnl lower. being
ab.ut three-quarters OF a cent
"Bradstreet's index numbers for 96 COM
modties show that the increase in the
prices Of these commodities. on the aver
age. from January !. 1870 TO January T.
1909, was ~ per cent. II freight rates had
increased during the same period at this
ratio, the gross freight receipts for the
year ended June 80. 1908, w-uld have been
{ S2tS 5SG sO7 greater than they actually were.
This sum represents. then, what was
saved to the public in transportation
costs by reason OF the price OF transpor,a-
ton not advancing along with other
prices
while rates have declined. the price OF
everything that a railroad buys has adj
vanced 20 that the net earn ngs are cut
into from both ends. Period. cal advances
IN wages have brought about large In
crease IA the cost OF labor. The total cost
OF fuel Tor tho country's railrcads was
20s PER cent. greater in 1907 than IA 1897.
though freight traffic increased only Jas
per cent. and passenger traffic only i26
per cent.
Railroads arc heavy purchasers Of
everything on the market. from steel 20
butter. and no corporadcn or individual is
more Affected by a rlse in price than a
/ lraiirosd company. A few specimen IN
creases since 1897. in the prices OF things
the companies have 70 buy, are as follows.
Lead pipe. IS per cent; yellow pine, s. per
cent. hemlock, io2 per cent. window
glass q per cent; cut nails. 60 per cent;
common locks. 40 per cent. steel door
knobs. bronze plated. II Per cent. These
are only few examples illustrative Of the
general movement"

APPROPRIATION BULLETIN.
An Innovation BY Accountant Bullock
That Will Help.

City Accountant Edward Bullock,
who took Office July /. has been max
ing several suggestions for the as
sistance of the various departments
In keeping their accounts. Among
these Is an appropriation ledger for
the smaller departments which oper-
ate through the general fund.
Heretofore 1t has been impossible
for these departments, including the
mayors office, city clerks Office, boiler
inspectors office, city photographer,
and several others, to tell how nearly
various appropriations were to being
exhausted without going to the books
OF the city controller. The new sys.
TEN Is for, o loose leaf ledger in each
department with a leaf for each item
for which separate appropriation is
made. The item will be credited with
the amount appropriated by the esti-
matters or transferred by the common
council. and debited with the various
expenditures.
A separate column will be main
tanned for estimated costs, but the
cost as finally ascertained will be en-
tered against the appropriation. In
this way, moments figuring will set
the members of the department right
as to whether there is money enough
In any fund for desired purpose.
Several heads of departments have
expressed themselves as pleased with
the innovation.
