GENERAL REMARKS.

II will be noted in the General Incoms
Account that while the rev Nenue from pas
sengcr transportation shows an increase Of
SSSt, l59 SO over 1870 II being the largest
IN the Companys history the gross revenues
of the railroad lines for the year show a
reduction of s" 1853. .SS5 Is. due principally to
a decrease merchandise freight revenue and a
small decrease in coal and coke revenue The
decrease in gross revenues was partially
Offset by a saving OF $l5Si, 235l 49, or 1SS
per cent. in operating expenses that the
decrease in the not operating revenue for
the year: compared with 1910 was Sl,SS5.-
650.57. The transportation expenses in
creased chiefly because the increased wage
schedules were operative the entire year. as
against only for about eight months in 1910.
Taxes which have been continually in
creasing in the last few years. show a fur
ther increase for the year of $t5l. 333.77. due
principally TO the taxes paid on the com
pIeted New York Tunnel Extension.
In rentals paid roads opera ed on tho basis
Of Det revenue. the decrease is due prnci-
pally TO the absorption by the Pennsylvania
Railroad COMPANY of the Allegheny Valley
Railway on AuTl 7th. 1910 when the pay
Iment OF its leasehoId rental consequently
ceased.
The greater part Of the decrease in fixed
charges compared with 1910. is due to the
payment at maturity. in that year OF the
General Mortgage Bonds and Short Term
Notes referred TO in the last annual report
After meeting all liabilities. including the
necessary payments TO the Sinking Funds
tho net income for the year was $37 SiS, 35l. O5
The decrease In this item OF only A57 1888 OS
compared with 1910. Is due to the saving re,
sulttug from the retirement Of your fixed
obligations, as explained in the preceding
paragraph, which was effected through tho
issue of capital stock. Out Of the me-
income remaining. SSl9. 1851 was contrib

SUBURBS
At ODDS OVERBILLS
IN THE LEGISLATURE
Citizens of Over-the-River
Villages Hold Conflict
ing Views.

Residents of Washingtons Virginia
suburbs are at odds over a bill before
the Virginia Legislature empowering
three Alexandria county supervisors to
act as a mayor and city council for the
villages of Clarendon, Fort Myer
Heights, Colonial Heights, Rosslyn, and
others, The Alexandria Court House
Citizens Association has declared for
the bill, the Clarendon Citizens Asso-

at its meeting next week, and similar
difference of opinion is manifested in
other parts of the county.
Alignment on tho question varies
somewhat with the politics of the men
concerned. The Democrats are gener-
ally in favor of the bill, and Republi-
cans are mostly hostile. Clarendon AS
sociation members assert that they de-
sire to see the more populous parts Of
the county incorporate as one town and
let the rest of the county continue un-
