there were in service on Glass I ond
z railroads 2,325,647 freight cars. or
that number $4,000 cars were of the
capacity of 10000 pounds, or under
and were practically all of wood con.
struction. If it had not been for the
meagre earnings of the railroads in
the period from 1907 to 1914 and the
loss OF credit due to their impoverished
condition probably all of those cars
would have been renewed with modern
cars within that time. AS the rail.
road disabilities extended to 1917. it
Is fair to assume that very little was
done in the replacement Of these cars
up to the time the Government took
over the properties. Those wooden
cars were uneconomic, being deficient
both in carrying and cubic capacity.
too weak to meet the strain when in.
terspersed with cars of modern con.
struction, and further loss of efficiency
was suffered in the time consumed in
making frequent and extensive re.
pairs The pre-war cost of maintain.
ing those inefficient cars averaged
about $3.50 per annum, as against $50
per annum for modern steel under
frame or all-steel cars. 1t is safe TO
say that all those SAT 900 cars, except
those that were no longer fit to run
are still in service, and that their war
cost Of maintenance is in the neigh
borhood Of $500 per annum.
There was a deficiency of $446, OOO.-
600 in car replacement in the period
from 1908 to 1914, inclusive. At the
prices current in the year 1915, those
cars ould have been replaced new at
a cost of $S47 100000 At current
prices the cost would not be 50, 445. 60O.-
900.
An expert estimate was made in
1915 of the depreciation of permanent
way, bridges. buildings, etc, and the
conclusion was reached that the depre-
citation had been up to that time 3d.
600 per mile of main line. AS that con-
dition has not been improved since
then, it is a safe assumption that it
will require $4,000 per mile of main
line TO bring the railroad structure ur
to the required status at this time. or
$3.50 100000 in the basis of pre-war
cost. Assuming the present cost, the
amount would be double or 81 100000,

Notwithstanding the increase of
twenty-five per cent in freight rates
and approximately fifty per cent III
passenger rates ordered by the Rail
road Administration, effective June
%, 1918, there is q deficit to the Gov

including May of this year. amounting
to $451 100000. 1t is thus evident
that there must be another increase
in rates, and the public can not have
much hope of any reduction in these
rates until the depreciation of the ply
steal properties which has occurred in
the past thirteen years has been made
good. The experience of the past few
years has doubtless convinced the pub
lie that the greatest essential to the
prosperity of the country is an efficient
transportation system, and there is nc

continuous increases in their gross

Of that prosperity the physical condi-

to bankruptcy.
During the period above stated the
railways had only two prosperous years

there was quick recovery from the

the roads might meet their interest
and dividend obligations expenses were
reduced beyond safe limit and the

In the year 1917 railroad revenues
reached a very high level, but due to

This belief is based upon the facts
that several of the wells recently drill

completion have been found. Among
these instances is the sand at little
more than 1900 feet hit by the Cen

That there is paying sand at 1900
