Gross Earnings of Roads for
February Expected to
Set New Record.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE
trend of railroad bond prices re.
fleets the growing financial stabil-
ity of the important carrier sys-
TENS, and gradual increase Of the
margin between gross and net in
comes. If car loadings for Febru-
airy are a criterion, gross revenues
for that month will be the largest
of any similar period in the history
of American railroading. With a
larger gross and almost certain
lower operating expenses, Febru-
ary's net income may be the
largest in history.
With money still cheap and plen-
tiful, with commodity prices tending
slightly lower, and big industrial
concerns well able to finance ordi-
nary requirements, there is no rea-
son to look for reaction in invest
ment markets for some time to
come.
A start should be made later in
the year to provide for the refund
ing of heavy railroad maturities in
1925, 1928 200, 900 for Baltimore and
Ohio, $47,000.000 for st. Paul, $46,-
100000 for New Haven, etc. Re-
funding of Baltimore and Ohio is

st. Paul could do better by buying
up a portion Of it's outstanding
bonds at present discounts of % per
cent than by dickering for lower
interest rates next year. New
Haven is paying per cent on her
1925 maturities, and may profit to
some extent by scaling down bond
interest rates in the meantime.

FAVOR
House District Committee Ap-
proves Widening Of Fourth
Street Northwest.

Favorable reports on three street
bills affecting the District were
ordered today by the House Dis
trict Committee.
These bills provide for widening
Fourth street south of Cedar
street n prthwest, the widening Of
Georgia avenue between Fairmont
street and Gresham place north
west, and changing the name Of
Keokuk street northwest to Mill
tary road.
The estimated cost of widening
Georgia avenue was placed by the
District Commissioners at $3.50.
Congressman Earnest w. Gibson, OF
Vermont, was designated to write
the report.
The widening of Fourth street
is for the purpose of eliminating
a dangerous corner at which sew
eral accidents have occurred. Con-
gresham Everett Kent. of Penn
sylvania, will file the report. Con-
gresham Thomas l.. Blanton was
designated to file the third report.
BlantOn Objects.
The committee took up for con-
sideration a bill providing for the
closing of a portion Of Massachu-
sets avenue northwest. west of
Hamilton Circle at Idaho avenue
and Thirty eighth street. This por-
ton of Massachusetts avenue Is
twehty-seven feet wider than ada
cent portions. The bill provided
for turning this land over to owners
of abutting property on condition
that they pay taxes on the land.
Objection to the bill was voiced
by Congressman Thomas l.. Blan-
ton who proposed that the strip
of land be converted into a public
parking space.
The committee voted to secure
from the District Commissioners
figures as to the estimated cost
Of maintaining such parking
space and the estimated amount of
taxes to be derived II the property
is turned back to property owners.
This completed the Senate bills
now pending before the committee.
Merger Bill Referred.
The bill sent to the committee by
the District Commissioners provid
ing for merger of District street
railway companies was referred to a
special subcommittee appointed
early during the session. This COM
mittee is composed of Congressman

Ohio, Earnest w. Gibson of Yer
mont. Oscar f. kellar of Minnesota,
Thomas l.. Blanton of Texas, Ralph
Gilbert of Kentucky, and William
c. Hammer of North Carolina.
During consideration of the Fourh
street bill there occurred one of the
amusing verbal interchanges which
have become a feature of District
Committee meetings. Congressman
kellar had the floor and was inter
rupted by Blanton. kellar refused
to yield and ordered Blanton to sit
down. Blanton flared back and
Congressman Hammer jumped to
his feet and requested that the COM
mittee be in order. Blanton, how
ever, continued to shout for recogni-
ton and Hammer. turning to him
with show Of impatrence, declared.
