 ISSUES STATEMENT
Many Of the Departments Show
 Large Deficits.

The statement of the income and expenditure of the, New Haven rail- road and its subsidiary properties fer the months of February, 1913 and 1914, as well as the periods of eight months ending on the last of those months, has made its appearance. A digest of these figures is given her e. with, as the entire statement is too volumiuous for publication here.
 In the main company, the New York, New Haven and Hartford com pany itself, the operating revenue, or total revenue from the use of the road as a transporting agency. is given as $4,510,3O2.O4 for the month with a total of $4.9a9,729.26 for the same period one year ago. The eX- penses pertaining to operation, plus taxes. are. for February, 1914, $4,- 1,817.09 and for the same month a year previous, $4.152,346.65. The subtraction of the latter items from the former gives the rather atten- uated sum of $49S,4S4.95 for Febru- ary, 1914, and $777,3S2.61 for Feb- ruary, 1913. as the total months in- come from the operation of the road in it's capacity as a common carrier. Listed under Other Income" are the sums of $538,S6S.S4 and $42S,121O2 for the respective months under con- sideration. The addition of these sums to the operating income gives as the gross, or total, income from all sources as $1,0s2,35379, which may be seen to be a considerable e- duction from the same item for tho same period in 1913 which totals Sl. 205,5OS.63. Deductions from these listed as Interest, Rentals, etc., leaves as the net corporate income the amount 7,436.O4-preceded by a minus sign. This deficit is greater than that of last February by the difference between the above sum and $433,0s3.9O.
 The net corporate income of the Central New England Railway com pany, in which the New York, New Haven and Hartford is interested 10 the extent of 99.8 per cent, shows an abrupt tumble in a years time from a surplus of $39,O3629 to a deficit of $25,716.S6. An examina. tion of the figures seems to show as the cause for the drop a diminu- ton in the amount of business. a large increase Tn the operating ex- penses, thereby resulting in a con- siderable reduction in operating in come, q marked falling off in the figures labeled as "Other Incomev and an increase of approximately S5.OOO In interest and rentals.
 The New York, Ontario and Vest ern (New Haven interest 5O.1 per cent) shows still greater fall from prosperity. Here the receipts. of the concern changed in one year from $24,246 on the sunny side of the ledger to $s2,552 in the hole for the same month a year later
 NO figures are given for the Bos- ton x Maine lines or for the Maine Central. except the extent of the New York. New Haven & Hartford interest -52.S per cent in the former case and 65.1 per cent. in the latter.
 The Merchants and Miners Trans portation company, of which the New Haven interest amounts to fifty per cent. shows an increase in the deficit from $17, 7,037.18 to $42,O2895 for the month of February in 1918 and 1914 respectively. This was the result of falling off, almost to the point of annihilation, of the gross income item. The increase was also accom- panied by a decrease in the amount of operating revenue and an addition of about $7,000 to the expense item designated Deductions - interest. rentals, etc.
 The New York, Westchester and Boston Railway company (N. Y., N. Fl. & H. interest 99.6 per cent.) re- ports deficit in the operating in- come of $19,471.O4, which is car
