LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

| With net earnings more than double
those of the corresponding period of the
previous year, the Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis Electric Line made a good
record during the month of January.
According to figures given out yesterday
by George Weems Williams. one of the
receivers OF the road, the net earnings
for last month were s10,295. as compared
with $5,O7S for the like period of 1903,
thus showing a gain in the company rev.
enues OF S5217. The gross earnings OF
the road for the month OF January are
placed at $3s.s675O
The showing made is most gratifying,
not only 10 the receivers Of the road. but
to Washingtonians. who are interested in
its future. and predictions are that 1t will
continue 10 increase its net earnings from
month to month.
