which has just adjourned. passed an act
making the same reductions.
THE company Is underpaid for the ca r
riage OF mail and parcel post. A study by
chartered accountants made three years
ago indicated that $4,000 was approx.
mately the sum to which the company was
entitled for carrying the mall. Instead
1t was receiving about half that sum,
and since then the parcel post has been
added. with no corresponding Increase In
pay. on account Of which the railroad IL

railroad suffers n further loss in its ex.

I'm considering the estimate OF the
financial results for the curren, fiscal year
three things must be borne In mind:
First. the estimate Is thought to be
conservative.
Second. the position OF the company
with respect TO the decrease in net reve.

with all other railroads in Eastern terri

with many increases In expenses which
are beyond the control Of the manage.

Years SURPLUS Il Small.
Chairman Elliott estimates the results
for the current fiscal year ended June 30
as follows:
THE general business conditions in New
England and particularly on its railroad
have been most unsatisfactory. resulting
In large decreases In both gross and net
earnings. For the eight months ended
February IS, 1914, there Is a decrease in
net income OF si.735.47ss3 compared
with the previous year after allowing fol
operating expenses. taxes, interest. rentals
and other fixed charges. Based on the
results for two-thirds OF the year an
estimate has been made for the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1914. which indicates that
for this period there will be only small
surplus after paying fixed charges
Mr.. Elliott gives one Of the strongest
presentations OF the treme ndous diff
culties before the railroads that has been
made. The average yearly wage paid by
the New Haven in 1908 were s633.5s. he
shows. In 1908 they were s7523s; and
in 1913. sS15.49. The total compensa-
tion Increased from $l?.659.0S7 in 1908 to
S2S. 433 ten years later. with an in
crease OF 3.i93 man from the 3l,O2S em-
ployed in 1903. Though the number Of
men employed increased only II per cent
In the ten years, the total compensation
increased 10 per cent. and the average
yearly wage increased 90 per cent The
total payroll will have increased 100000
in 1914, largely as the result OF arb;ra-
ton awards. II the 1903 rates had been
in force in 1918. the payroll would have
been s7.200.000 less.
THE Federal nine hour law. the ash
pan law. the safety appliances law, the
boiler inspection law and the full crew
law have increased the expenses Of the
company nearly 100000 a year." says
Mr.. Elliott.
The cost of accounting ten years ago
was $4,000 year. At the present
time Il is about $4,000 a year. While
the increase in business has had It's eff
feet on accounting cost. part of the in
crease is du, to the accounting require
ments OF the Interstate Commerce and
State commissions The recent Federal
act requiring the valuation OF railways
will increase the expenses OF this com
pany about $4,000 year for several
years. These facts about increased rates
of pay and the requirements by the
Government are not referred to in
spirit of criticism, but to show the effect
they have on the income Of the company"

1.-THE average revenue from each passen-
ger carried one mile on the New Haven
road is only LII cents and the average
payment per passenger is only 32 cents"
says Mr.. Elliott This low average Is
due TO the large number of passengers
carried In suburban territory mt rates
which range from one-half cent to one
cent per mile.
AT the same time the expenses OF this
Communication traffic are particularly heavy
on account of the very burdensome cost
of the passenger terminals, both at New
York and Boston. Notwithstanding the
extremely low Communication rates. the
efforts OF some OF the public authorities
have been TO reduce them stil further.
The Public Service Commission OF New
York ordered substantial reductions In the
very low communication rates between New
York suburban points and New York city.
The Supreme Court of New York set aside

Chairman Elliott makes strong argu-
ment for increased railroad rates.
III the people through their govern
mental agencies impose these expenses
upon the railroads." he says. they must
provide the money with which to meet
them by increasing the rates. While the
company has had to add constantly to its
capital investment and to increase its
operating expenses. the freight rates, on
the whole. have remained stationary or
have decreased. In ten years mere has
been reduction OF $4,000 OF cent
In the average rate received for hauling
1000 pounds one mile. This very small
sum, applied to the freight business Of
the New Haven road for the year end
ing June 80 1913. would have increased
freight earnings s1,s00,o00.

both through and local, and because OF
the increasing costs of the service much
OF the passenger train service IL operated
for he convenience OF the public at a
loss. Taken as a whole the passenger
train service just about pays its operat-
ing expenses but does not contribute any
tang directly to taxes and interest. The
fairness of Increasing passenger rates.
therefore, is obvious"
liner ase of passenger rates Is an i'm
portant factor TO the New Haven. says
Mr.. Elliott because it's proportion of
freight service. the paying service. to
passenger service is much smaller than
on most roads. The railroads OF the
country as one system carry two tons
of freight to each passenger. he says,
the New Haven only one-third OF ton

The Imperial Russian government,

That France also placed herself on

efforts to bring about more friendly
relations with the French republic
come into contact with the expression
of old hopes and with long-standing
malice"

result of ill-will existing for years
