QUARTER ANNOUNCED

That the time-honored custom of
the Delaware Railroad Company in
announcing in detail the receipts and
expenditures aud earnings Of that
railroad is a thing of the past, since
the railroad has been leased, was evil
dent at the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the company in Dover
Yesterday. The annual report of
John p. Green, president of the board
of directors, contained the detailed in
come account of the Delaware Rail-

gross or net earnings from the oper-
alton of the road like they used to be
set out in the reports.
Possibly the operating receipts, ex-
penses and earnings and net income
from the operation Of the Delaware
Railroad may be set forth in the an
nual reports of the p, B. and W. Rail-

Delaware Railroad.
The report for the four months end

earnings of s9O7, ,29S.69 for that quar-
ter and net earnings from operation

quarter of $75,10017. For the ten
months ending December 81, 1910, the
earnings OF net income from the oper-
alton of the Delaware Railroad are
not set forth. The general income
account for that period sets forth that
the Delaware Railroad Company re-
ceived 1878, ,636.67 from the lease of
the road to the p. B. and W. Rail-
road Company, and that the Delaware
Railroad Company has s449,059.6S as
