Railway Business in November. 1sf.


Tables prepared by the bureau of
railway economics from the reports
made by the railways for that month
to the interstate commerce commits
sion show that the business done by
the railways of the United States in
the month OF November was some
what less than the business done in
November, 1910, when measured by
the average per mile, the only basis
on which comparison can properly be
made.
The total operating revenues of rail
ways include their receipts for freight
and passenger transportation, for mail
and express service, and for all other
traffic service ndered. The average
receipts in November, 1911, for little
more than 80 per cent of the total
mileage of the country, were S1,054
mile, decline of SIS mile from the
receipts in November, 1910. There
was decrease in average receipts in
both freight and passenger service.
The decline was unevenly distributed
The lines of the eastern part of the
country show only a slight decrease
for November, 1911, in comparison
with November, 1910, while the lines
in the southern section show Slight
increase and the lines in the western
section falling off. In the total oper-
ating revenue, the receipts for freight
transportation represent III per cent
and receipts for passenger transporta-
ton 208 per cent, the remainder COM
ing from mail, express and other
sources.
Operating expenses also show low
er average per mile of line. These in
clude all costs of maintaining track
and equipment, the cost of operating
trains of securing traffic and of admin
istration, but do not include new con-
struetion Expenditure for mainten-
dIlSC VI lldShS d1lu Uuliulu6o was lS-
duced by an average of $2.40 q mile as
compared with expenditure in Novem-
ber, 1910. For the maintenance of
equipment there was an increase aver
aging 10 cents a mile; and the cost of
conducting transportation, an item rep
resenting about one-half the total op-
Grating expense, was reduced by an
average Of 8 cents a mile. By the re-
duction in expenditure for mainten-
ance of track and buildings the roads
were enabled to make a slight offset
to the strinkage in operating rev.
enues.
The net revenues, that is, the differ
ence between total operating revenues
and total operating expenses, overag-
ed SIG less per mile of line IN Novem-
Der, 1911, than in November, 1910,
which is a decrease of 4.3 per cent
This so-called net revenue is, in fact,
gross profits out of which must come
taxes, amounting in November to 49,
676.976 or an average of $43 a mile,
rentals, interest on bonds, dividends,
and appropriations for Improvements.
The falling off of 1.6 per cent in oper-
ating revenues contrasts with an in
crease of 1877 per cent in taxes.
