Despite the shortage of equip
mont enumerated by the commits
sion, it showed that the volume of
freight carried during the first
seven months OF 1920 exceeded by
Ill per cent the freight traffic
for the corresponding period IN
1919. Freight traffic as IL whole
for the last seven months also was
said by the commission to be in
excess OF that Of the entire year
Of 1919.
While the traffic has increased,
the commissions figures show, the
net operating income has suffered
q continuous decline since 1917.
The Commission attributed this TO
heavier maintenance costs in
which war tax figured InCon-
plete statistics, however, made 1t
impossible for the commission to
offer accurate cmparison between
the years 1917 and 1920, and it
made no attempt to estimate tho
