GOOD D'REPORT
ISSUED BY
The Erie Railway Company
Showing Over Seven
Millions
OF A SURPLUS DURING
Fiscal Year Just Ended
and When
Railroads Have Been En-
barrassed by Higher
Wages
And Closer Governmental Regulation
Erie Demonstrating its Solid
Foundation.

The Erie railroad issueg yesterday
Its statement for the year ended June
30, which was decidedly favorable in
comparison with reports for other
roads and in striking contrast with
the position of the Erie two years ago.
when the late E. II. Hartman rescued
the road from an impending receiver
| ship.
For the past fiscal year the Erie
railroad. after providing for oil its
| fixed charges and after allowing a sub
stantial sum for improvements and
betterments, shows a surplus equiva-
| lent to the full per cent. on both
classes of the preferred stock and to
| more than 2 per cent on the $112,-
| 100000 Of common stock. There was
| a large increase for the year in the
| gross earnings of the property, which
amounted to $54,S66,190 for the 12
months ended June 80 last. compared
with S50,441,161 earned during the
previous year The net earning show
ed an increase of $2,22S,9S1. and the
income from other sources than op-
Grafton an increase of S1,Og6,G14.
Charges Cor interest. rentals, etc.
showed an increase of only $465,695.
The net income showed the large in
crease of $2,S5S,S39. The sum left
after meeting charges was $5.SO6.543.
and from this was deducted $737,OSG
for additions and betterments. com
pared with 1881, S1,926ssimilarly eXpend-
ed the previous year
After these deductions there was
left $5,069,456, compared with So
565,717 in 1908. while in 1909 there
was a deficit of $2,199,226. Compared
then with 1908, the Erie shows a re-
coYery Of SI250,000 in surplus earn
ings
Not the least striking feature of the
excellent report that the large surplus
shown above all charges was earned
In the face of conditions surrounding
railroad operations which many rail-
road men have been predicting would
embarrass the railroads, particularly
the weaker railroads, with which the
Erie was classed.
These conditions include the in
creases i'm wages which the railroads
had to grant this spring, and in an
other direction the closer regulation
Of railroad affairs by the government.
which lately has prevented the app
plication of a general increase in
freight rates.
The rescuing of the Erie railroad
from impending receivership in the
spring Of 1908 by the late f. II. Har-
riman is one of the spectacular events
in Wall street history, and already the
benefits the Erie railroad has been
deriving from its improvements are
bearing out the view which Mr.. Har- |
riman took when from a sick bed he |
raised overnight the $4,000, 900 which |
was needed to save the Erle.-New |
York Times.
