GENERAL REMARKS.

Before reviewing the results Of the past year,
II may be we'll to remind the stockholders mat
April 18th, 1915, will be the Seventeen Ami
versary Of the enactment by the STATE OF Penn
Eylvania Of the Act Incorporating The Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. Notwithstanding
many financial and business vicissitudes in that
long period the Company has endssyored to dis
charge its duty to the public by maintaining
an adequate, safe and high standard Of trans
portation service; by encouraging the develop
ment Of the territory served by its lines and
connections; and by safeguarding the interests
Of the stock and bondholders, and the welfare Of
its employees Since its incorpora ton the Com
pany has paid a return upon Its capital stock

and improveme tents to its railroad and equipment.
instead Of issuing capital stock or bonds to pro-
cure the funds therefor.
INCOME STATEMENT.
The total operating revenues for 1918 show an
smaller than those for Ieis. Satisfactory con-
illusions cannot be derived from comparisons
with the results Of 1914. unless it be considered
Of 1918. the industries Of the Country were suf-
fering from a general depression. Since then,
however, nearly all classes OF industry In this
Country have experienced an increasing pros
perity.
While the increase in your freight revenues
(Principally in the Merchandise traf1c) can be
plies for Europe, the advance Of approximately
i've per cent in certain Merchandise freight
rates, which became effective in the early part
Of 1915 was also helpful. So far can be
estimated, the advance in these freight rates
increased the total freight revenues 2.e6 per
cent
Operating Expenses decreased IL per cent
compared with 1914 This decrease was entirely
In the Transports don Expenses, due to &C
counting change by which these expenses re-
lieved from freight charges on the Company s
lines for Transporting material and fuel used by
1t; and also to a reduction in the fuel consumed
resulting from the more extensive use Of locomo-
tive superheaters, and to increase efficiency.
Railway Operating Income increased S1.2 per
cent compared with the unsatisfactory results of
1914, and IS per cent compared with 1913.
The Net Income for 1918 amounted to S42
i25,822.32 an increase Of g, 854, 55I 80, com
pared with the previous year. out Of which ap-
preparations were made to Sinking and Other
Reserve Funds. Cash Dividends were paid, ag-
gTegadng six per cent on your Capital Stock.
and certain Additions and Betterments were
provided on lines owned leased and operated.

FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION INQUIRY.
The President Of the United States has nc
commended q Congressional inquiry into the trans
common carriers. This Company has clearly
outlined IN previous reports the necessity for IL
essing the strength and efficiency Of public
regulation, and II is willing 10 render all reason
able assistance desired IN connection with such
important National inquiry. Twenty eight
years have passed since the enactment Of the
original Interstate Commerce Law. during which
radical changes have occurred in the commercial
and financial conditions Of the Country, and IN
railroad management and Opera tion. and FEDERAL
and State regulation has been extended 70 prsc-
tcally every department Of the railroads. Pub
lie regulation has served many useful purposes,
which II Is desirable 20 continue, but there has
been notable lack Of a definite badness policy
and cooperation between the Federal and State
Governments az to railroad leFislatiou and reg
uls tion. hesvy financial burdens hsye heer IN
posed. and uSe powers consistent with responsible
railroad management have been seriously cur
tailed. Further. the investment IN railroad and
equipment, provided for public service in recent
years. has not been earning an adequate return.
and consequently railroad expansion has been
Materially retarded, and the construction Of
Necessary lines prevented
However the time for complaint and destruct-
i've criticism has passed. and through this In
quiry opportunity Is presented for fcrrnulat-
ing a constructive policy and insuring eQuitE bic
treatment for the railroads, which will Be sus-
tanned by public opinion, realizing that the rail
roads are q very essential factor in creating and
continuing National prosperity. Then their own
ers and the investing public will he encouraged
to provide in the future the large sums OF
ton systems in a position to meet the needs Of
an expanding commerce.
