About 250,300 miles Of railroad were
in operation during the year. In the
first months the total fell below $780,
900; during the latter part of the year
it exceeded 100000. Using 100000 as
an average, returns show that for

country the railroads will receive this
year approximately S15.655 In gross
receipts, and net income OF -44,1I4,
or little more than 80 per cent. OF the
gross.
Compared with various earnings.
net income for 1916 shows an increase
Of more than SO per cent. over the u.s.

1914, and "a per cent. over 1913.
