Net Earnings Drop Slightly Pc
cause of Unusual Charges.

The official report Of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company for June and the
fiscal year l9l2-l3, issued yesterday,
showed gross earnings amounting to SOL
556.i32. an increase Of tSe61. 500. or nearly
10 per cent. over the previous year. This
the report pointed out, is the more note
worthy because in the preceding fiscal
year gross increased A.449.Sl9 over
1elO-11 Last year sl3i16,000 more was
earned than In 1901. an income gain
OF better than Is per cent. II was said
that last years gross earnings were re-
duced at least sl.5OO.ooo by the Ohio foods.
During the last three years and a half
the Baltimore & Ohio has spent about
$50. OO0. 100 new capital on the property. In
addition $50. s3S Oo0 from current earn
!ngs went back into the road. Last year
the expenditure for maintenance was sS2.

ings. BY costly accidents the company
was subjected 70 an unexpected drain Of
approximately 100000 The years total
increase in expenditures was 5000 100, or
Sos. 2el more than that Of 1sn12.
This left the net earnings at the end

The Copper Metal Status.
In estimating the true status Of the
conner metal market it must not be lost
sight Of that the worlds consumption is
increasing. due to the growth OF popula-

sfrord a logical purchasing market for

total American deliveries Of copper have

copsumption has increased In excess OF

absolutely accurate as foreign statistics
regarding production are not obtainaole'

PUBLIC UTILITY NOTES.

II is said that those interested in the
consolidation OF the entire street railway
system Of Dayton. Ohio. are negotiating
with the American Railways Company
for the purchase or lease OF the Peoples
Railway Of Dayton. Ohio, which is con-
trolled by the American company.
Los Angeles Gas and Electric Co.
The increase in net earnings Of the Los
Angeles Gas and Electric Company for
the five months ended May 30 was almost
sufficient 10 pay the interest charges Of
the company and the total net earnings
were equal 20 about six times the interest
charges The report shows that gross
earnings for that period were S2I95,62j, as
compared with $,S7470} for the corre-
spending period Of 1912. a gain Of about
II per cent: net earnings were A,0ll,55i.
as against 1861 1853, gain Of about II per

Oak Park Elevated.
According to Gilbert Porter. general
counsel Of the traction merger syndicate
Of Chicago. it will take four to six weeks
to complete the actual transfer Of the Oak
Park Elevated. He says that at the ak
piration Of that time the joint elevated
companies will lend their financial aid in
order to complete the improvements nee
essary. II Is believed that within few
months after the merger is. effected the
Oak Park will become a better paying
proposition through the Improvement OF
service and completion Of the proposed
through-route ordinance. Mr.. Porter
says in part: "All the preliminary en-
cheering work for the elevation of the
tracks has been completed and, according
TO estimates, which have been received,
this will cost about s.. 10000. II is recog-
nized that these improvements are abso-
lutely necessary. and further understood
that they will be excellent investments
With the proposed through route measure
in effect and the oak Park line part
Of the merged system, receipts from that
road could be increased from the har-
monious operation OF the North, West
and South side systems. The decree filed
in the United States District Court on
Thursday is actually IL victory for the
users Of the Oak Park line, FOR IL is tho
first step toward the complete merger OF
the elevated lines of Chicago. and will
make for improved service and accommo-
dations on all the roads, but especially
the Oak Park line. which. has bsen ham
pered with financial difficulties"
