DECREASE IN NET REVENUE.

DECREASE IN NET REVENUE.
For ninety per cent of the steam rail
way mileage of the United States the
aggregate OF the operating revenues
for March showed an increase OF s12,-
661,9o1 as compared with March, 1911.
Operating expenses showed an in
crease of s12,152,394 and net operat-
Ing revenue an increase of s509,50
This increase in the total of net
operating revenue was due solely to
the larger returns incident to an in
crease in railway mileage. When the
returns are measured by the average
per mile, the only proper basis for
comparison, the net operating revenue
shows decrease. The average was
s306 per mile of line for March. 1912,
and 5000 for March, 1911. This aver
age for 1911 was twelve and eight
tenths per cent less than for March,
1910.
