A LARGE DEFICIT IN
NEW HAVEN RECEIPTS
During FISCAL YEAR
Road Spent S4,127,632 More
Than 1t Earned, Accord
ing to Annual Report.
Elliott Explains

New York, October 5.-The New York
New Haven and Hartford railroad during
the year ended June 80 1918, spent a. 127, s3e
more than it earned. The annual report
made public today by Howard Elliott, the
new president of the system, explains
this deficit and tells what has been done
and what is in prospect to meet the adj
verse criticism of which the railroad
lately has been the target.
President Elliott says that while the
earnings for the first few months of the
fiscal year were the greatest in the his
tory of the company for a similar period,
the net results of the year compared
with 1912 show a large decrease, due to
heavier operating expenses which re-
feet principally the expenditures made
by the company to put the property and
the equipment in better condition to han
die business safely and promptly and 70
pay increased wages"
Outlay Unusually Heavy
In further explanation of these figures,
President Elliott says:
The unfortunate accidents at Vest
port Conn., October 3, 1912 at Stamford,
Conn, July IL. 1918, and at North Haven.
Conn, September 2, 1918: the continued in
yestigations for several years of the
company and it's operations, and the re-
sulting decentralization ana expenditures
made the year one of unusually heavy
OUTLAWS.

for the deplorable accidents referred to,
