In the phalanx of brilliant gen;

must be cons Sdered prior to that of any
private intereFt
Judge Pugh Imposed a fine of 50 on Ed

mail wagon. and placed him on six
months probation on the charge of hav-
ing obstructed public traffic. It was de-
clared that the defendant drove a gov

vehicle In Tenth street northwest during
the Christmas holidays.
Contrary to the decision of Judge Pueh

The ruling OF Judge Pugh is expected to

YEAR
FOR RAILROAD PROFITS.
Increased Business Reflected in Sta
tistics on New Construction.

The year 1916 has been one of record
breaking traffic and earnings for the rail-
ways of the United States Their in
creased business is reflected in statistics
regarding new construction and orders
for equipment during the year which
have been gathered by the Railway Age
Gazette from official sources, and which
are published In Its annual review num-
ber.
The mileage of new railroad built dur
ing 1sl6~has been LOSS. This is an IN
crease over 1915, when only 923 miles were
built, the latter having been the smalles.
amount of new construction In any year
since the civil war. While there has been
an increase in new construction, It has
continued to be small, being less than
In any year since the civil war except
1915.
Reduction In Second Track.
There was a reduction in second track
built, this amounting to 312 miles, as
compared with S56 miles in 1915 and 565
miles in 1914 There were 81 miles of
third, fourth, and other main tracks
built. as compared with 65 miles In the
preceding year. The largest amount of
new construction was in Montana. where
80 miles of railway were built; South
Carolina being second, with 80 miles, and
California third. with Is miles.
New construction in Canada shows a
heavy decline. The mileage of new lines
built in that country was only 20 miles,
as compared with 71S miles in 1915, ard 97S
miles In 1914
The new mileage found to be projected
In the United States is TT miles; that
being surveyed, 2,126 miles, and that be-
ing actually built lsSsO miles.
The increase in the purchase of new
equipment was much greater relatively
than the increase in new construction.
The number OF freight cars ordered for
domestic service is larger than in any
year since 1872 and the number of loco
motives ordered for domestic service is
larger than in either 1914 or 1915.
Largely Increased Orders.
In addition to the orders received from
the railways of the United States, the
locomotive and car builders Of this coun-
try received largely increased orders for
equipment for export. The number of
freight cars ordered for export was g.
6S2 as compared with Is, 3,222 In 1915, and
the number of locomotives ordered for
export was 1883. as compared with $50
in 1915 The number of locomotives or
dered for both United States and for
eign railways totaled 5,9O6, which exceeds
the total number Of locomotives ordered
from the locomotive builders of the
United States in any year since 1905.
The year closes with sixty-three rail-
ways, having an aggregate of 1859 miles
Of line in the hands OF receivers This
compares with a mileage of SS,661 miles
in the hands of receivers at the begin
ming of 1916.
