This deficit does not include the big
sums-between $15O,OOO,OOO and $780,

railroads to help them pay for the ex.
tensive program of improvements and
purchase of new cars and locomotives.
These loans will be repaid eventually.

Officials believe, however, that the az.

and that the net income from the rail-

$500, 100000. For the 10 months up to
