p. R. R. BRIDGE
ACROSS SOUND
Report Land Purchased at
RossviIIs, s. |. by Company.

1t has been reported on Staten
Island the past few days that the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad is about to
build a bridge across the Staten Is
land sound at Rossville, S. /. just
what is in the report could not be as
c%ertained, but it is known that the
Pennsylvania railroad is planning a
large freight terminal at Montauk
Point, Long Island, am In the ad-
vent of the new railway under the
Narrows, from Staten Island to
Brooklyn, 1t is understood that the
Pennsylvania railroad would pass
across the island by way of the
bridge from it's main line in New
Jersey.
In connection with the bridge re
port it has been said that the Penn
~sylvania has made heavy purchases
Of land on Staten Island within the
past few days. 1t will be recalled
that the subway across the Narrows
Is to be built partly with funds fur
nished by the railway companies
that are to use 1t for freight. Up to
this time it has been said that the
Baltimore and Ohio was the only
company which could use the sub
way to advantage for freight.
1t seems clear now that the
Pennsylvania proposes to have some
share in the project and that Staten
Island is to have the benefit. Rail-
road men have held all along that
the Pennsylvania could derive great
advantage from a right of way
across the Narrows in moving
freight from the west to Long Is
land and New England. The land
in question bought by the Pennsyl-
vania is said to be the same that was
purchased by A. B. Stickney, who
was then president of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul railway
about eighteen years.

Why the Railroads Are Hard Up.
Following is an interesting extract
from an article in the September
American Magazine:
THE railroad companies complain
that they are hard up. They are;
they are awfully hard up. Perhaps
they were never SO hard up before
in their lives. Not because earnings
have decreased; earnings have in
creased. Not because dividends have
diminished; dividends have been
trebled. Not because the margin OF
credit has been exhausted; the mar
gin of credit has been multiplied
fourfold. The railroads are hard up
because they have got to double their
facilities.
when the railroads of the United
States broke down in 1907, Jim Hill
said they ought to spend $700,00O,-
600 a year for ten years to put them
selves IN shape. Seven billions in all.
Since then some equally distinguish
ed authority has raised it to eight
billions.
"Why? Their business has been
increasing nobly. Their gross earn
ings have risen from $4,000 per mile
to s11,S00 per mile. By larger cars,
longer trains, heavier loading,
stauncher track, they made their old
outfit serve. But it came to a point
where it did not seem to the railroad
men that they could stretch that
string any longer. Nothing to do
but double track, double terminals,
double everything. But doubling
facilities does not automatically and
instantaneously double the earnings.
That is why the railroads were SO
hard up"
