along the country's reconstruction
program.
President Musser's report shows
that the operating revenue of the
company in 1918 was $1,2SO,535.72,
an increase over 1917 of $1O9,S57.76,
but this increase in receipts was
more than sent into oblivion by the
increase in operating expenses which
amounted to $137,9SI.04. The total
cost OF operating during the year
was $747,396.05, which would make
the net revenue s533,139.67, or $2S,-
1928 less than in 1917. From the
net revenue must be taken the all
lowance for depreciation, $105,70S.;
and taxes, including the amount re-
served for unsettled taxes, $4,000,
or total of s297.4S1.67 which rep
resents the operating income. To
this figure is added the incorporating
income of S22.06S.42, which makes
the gross income of the company
$S1S.50O.O9. With the rent for leased
roads. S157,940.60; and the interest
on funded debts, s14S.S37.50, de-
Quoted from the gross income there
remains for the year, a balance of
only $12,721.99.
Hit by Conditions
During the year 1918, the company
suffered heavily because of weather
and epidemic conditions. During
January and February the heavy
snowstorms interferred considerably
with and in some instances prevent
ed traffic. During October and No
vember business again took a big
drop because of the influenza epi-
demic So many of the employees were
i'll with the disease that schedules
had to be curtailed and in addition
many persons walked rather than
come in contact with persons who
may have been in the early stages
of the illness.
Expenditures
The amount expended for main
tenance in 1918, was $177,251, as
compared with s104.I80 in the year
1917. an increase of $72.472. or 50
per cent. While this increase in the
cost of maintenance was very large.
1t does not represent an abnormal
amount of repairs and is largely due
to the high cost of labor and ma
terials.
The report says:
"The operating revenue increased
S109,S57 or "a per cent, compared
with the year 1917. Against this in
crease there was an increase in
operating expenses of s137,9S1, or
22.6 per cent, compared with the
year 1917. 1t is apparent, therefore.
that the increase in operating ex-
penses exceeded the increase in gross
revenue by s2S,123.
This heavy increase in operating
expenses was due largely to the alb
normal increases in wages, taxes and
cost of materials. The average rate
OF wages paid car platform men
January 1, 1918, was 20 ga cents per
hour' and at December 81, 1918, Al
