THE BROWNSVILLE LINE.

The Brownsville Linc-HOuStOn to
BrOWnSville-WaS constructed through a
syndicate composed of 30 subscribers III
is now earning %5,41G per mile, gross,
practically upon It's local business. Had
it not been for the revolution i'll Mexico
which broke out in 1910, the Interchange
business with the National Lines of Mex
leo would have placed the Brownsville
Lille two years ago upon Il paying basis.
Il visited Mexico City and conferred
with Mr.. Limantour. then Minister OF
Finance. and Mr.. Brown, President OF
the National Lines Of Mexico, and we
reached an understanding for interchange
of business through the Brownsville-Mat
amoros gateway.
An international bridge was construct
cd over the Rio Grande, which is owned
Jointly by the Frisco and the National
Lines of Mexico. When the bridge was
first opened. there was a good intcrchang,
of business between the two lines, which
would have sOO reached % to 100 cars !;
day There is a profitable business await
ing Il settlement of the revolution II
Mexico for the New Orleans-BrownSvivllC
line. and | am confident that . per cent
if not onc-third, Of the interchange traffic
between this country and Mexico can be
controlled through the Brownsville Mat
amOrOS gateway.
But for the disastrous floods Of 191'
and 1912. the New Orleans and Browns
Vile lines wOulbhavc shown satisfactory
results. War in Mexico cut into another
large source of traffic. which could have
been handled without any material aG
ditjonal cost in operation.
THE loss in traffic and property to the
Frisco on account of these conditions
amounted to several million dollars. The
Gulf Coast Line could probably have
stood floods and war one year, but with
two successive years. the result has been
very unsatisfactory.
1T is believed by an expert engineer
who has recently made for certain bond
holders an exhaustive study and report
of the New Orleans. Texas and Mexico.
that the line will within three years, show
an earning capacity averaging 5000 pc
mile gross per annum. 1t is also eStim"
ted, that being a low grade road. it car
be operated for 20 per cent of its gross
earnings. resulting i'll a net of $500 per
mile per annum.
This line covers the richest and most
productive section in the entire Western
Hemisphere, and while criticism has be
made of its acquisition. | predict that if
it is eliminated under the reorganization
of the Frisco. its loss will be as much
regretted as its ownership is now crit
ciScd.

contract with a picture house to
