EXCELLENT EARNINGS
Gross and Net Revenue for Last Fis-
cal Year Were Greatest
on Record.
Aggregate Showing of Nationa.
Banks as Of June 80 Was Very
Satisfactory
BY I. A. FLEMING.

The fiscal year ended June 80, 1916,
from the standpoint of earnings was
the best the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company ever enjoyed.
The annual report, which will be pre-
sented to the shareholders at the an
nual meeting in November. will show
gross revenues of s111,66s.6so. an in
crease of s1s.s52,Ss3 over the revenues
for the preceding fiscal year.
Millions of dollars were replaced in
the property. in way of needed i'm
provements, which naturally reduced
the net revenue, although, despite the
expenses, the net showed an increase
over the 1915 net, of s4.45s,e57, the net
being $32.34s,s74.
This was accomplished after an in
crease In operating expenses of S15.-
3e4.296, or S7.511,222 more than was
expended during the previous year.
Every preparation was made during
the fiscal year to put the equipment
of the company In the best possible
order. in preparation for the increasing
business which the officials believe will
continue, unless the threatened strike
should interfere.
