The statement OF operating results
differs from those OF other large sys-
TENS in several respects. The increase
Of s29li2. 900. or i2li per cent IN
gross operating revenues was only
slightly larger than that realized By
the average big road, but IN earning
this additional income the Southern
Pacific spent s4257. 900 more in trans
portation expenses and saved only
half per cent on maintenance OF way
and equipmcnt With few exceptions
the other large systems made their
bigges, savings on these items. The
difference here Is partly explained by
the fact that while the railroads as a
whole showed a decrease Of almost 25
per cent in revenue freight tonnage
hauled the Southern Paeihc's haulage
decreased only 1887 per cent.

Jersey Central's
Big Income Due
To Coal Dividends
Total Net Equal to S77.83 a
Share for 1921: Outside
Revenue Is S21, ,659,000:
Better Operating Showing

By reason Of the huge extra divi-
dends declared on Lehigh and Wilkes
Barre Coal Company stock, the Central
Railroad Of New Jersey showed IN its
statement for 1921 net income totaling
S2l.355,232, or the equivalent % Sll.e3
a share on the stock. The results from
corporate and Federal operation during
1920 was a deficit Of S7.S5s,O0O.
Income from operations last year
.o.aled S5.235 900. as compared with a
loss Of Ss.744.000 in 1920. The big gain
in revenue was in incorporating items,
which totaled 1859 900. as compared
with only s7,95s,0 900 in 1920. Income
from dividends reached the eHtraor-
binary total Of sle.993 900. as against
less than a million dollars in the pre-
cedinr year. Extra dividends declared
bv the Lehigh and Wilkes Barre Coal
Company brought SlS676.6s0 into the
treasury Of the Central Railroad Of
New Jersey.
Despite the fact that this big in
crease IN incorporating income was the
outstanding feature Of the report, a
study of the statement in detail re-
vealed a favorable turn IN operating
conditions. Gross operating income in
creased $3.50. 900 and operating ex-
penses were Si4.04s.000 smaller The
ratio Of operating expenses 20 operat-
ing revenues was thus reduced from
lli.24 20 ss.l9 per cent.
President Besler stated that the at
tempt made by two insurance COM
panies 20 set aside the sale Of the New
Jersey Centrals Lshigh and Wilkes
Barre stock was the result Of misin-
formation. Since the 1920 statement
left the press the petition OF these
two companies has been withdrawn, but
a substitute protest has been filed by
two individual stockholders.
The balance sheet showed an in
crease in appropriated surplus from
s40.942 900 20 Sal $4,000 and an in
crease in profit and loss surplus from
S3,327 900 20 S20.22i 900.
