only was the company's corporate in
come materially reduced. but a tie
mendous advance was made in total de-
ductions, particularly in taxes and de-
probation, so that the net income for
1918 was but s2o,12s.s34. against s2s,-

pany and represented a substantial de-
cline from the s11.ss a share earned in
1917.
The compensation granted to the road
by the Railroad Administration totalled
$30,0s9,6e1 and represented more than
III, 900 decrease from the net operat-
ing income OF 1917, when under private
