at $50 to get his watch. which he
had left in the cash drawer, before
going to the Y. NJ. c. \. gymnasium

been paid out of transportation rev.
enues, the difference being paid out of
the income from other sources, such as
interest and dividends received from
other railways.
There were operated a total of 337..
532 miles of track, of which 272 52s
