" cific published today by p. )
Lovett, chairman of the board,
no reference is made to tho important
Developments which have occurred
since July / last, including the supreme
court decision, the election OF a new
board of directors and the arrange
ment to sell the Central Pacific 10 the
Union Pacific. Total gross earnings
amounting to S131, $4,000 show de-
crease of 81 ,095, 900 compared with the
twelve months ended June 30, 1911.
Operating expenses for 1912 were
larger by S2,25G,000. showing de-
crease of s3,352,000 in net. That de-
crease was offset largely by a gain
of s2,117 900 in other incomes. How
ever, there was an increase in fixed
charges of S3,ls3,000, so that the sur
plus for dividends was smaller by
s4,4ls,000. The surplus Of S2l l,69s,o00
over fixed charges is equal to nearly s
per cent on the S272.672,000 outstand-
ing stock.

Lovett's Statement.

In his remarks TO shareholders Chair
man Lovett says that the prospect
for a good business year are most en-
couraging. He says:
The greater part Of the decreased
gross operation occurred on the lines
east oi III Paso and resulted from
labor disputes, which closed for a
number OF months nearly all the large
lumber mills situated Oh these lines.
and from the interruption OF train
service on the lines in Louisiana dur
ing the month OF June, due TO the
overflow OF the Mississippi river, The
Increase IN operating expenses re-
suited from the greater number OF
passengers and tons OF freight car
ried. from additional expenses i'm
posed by the requirements OF the
hours OF service" and "full train
crew" laws: from higher wage sched-
ules. and from expenses incumbent
on the strike o: the shop men. There
was an Increase IN taxes of $71.SoS,
or 1889 per cent. IL the last five
years these payments increased from
S9,Sos, sol TO $5G2l,a3S.
On June 50. 1911. the advances 10
the Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany Of Mexico amounted TO $50 026.-
7se.le, Interest accrulng on these
advances during the year was not
taken into either the income o. assets
of the Southern Pacific company.
