RAILROADS BOOST
DELAWARE BUSINESS

Delaware benefited substantially
from the expenditures of the rail-
roads in 1887 for materials, supplies,
fuel, new equipment and payrolls, it
is revealed in a special study which
has just been completed by the
Bureau Of Railway Economics Of the
Association of American Railroads.
Railway purchases in Delaware
last year totaled $2,102,896, the re-
port shows. OF this sum, $1,912,O24
was spent for materials, supplies and
fuel. while $19O,872 went for new
equipment mot including that built
in company shops.) These pur-
chases were made i'm "a towns and
cities located in all of the three
counties.
Wages paid to railway employees in
Delaware during 1887 amounted to
81. .270,661.
The review discloses that. for the
nation as whole. the railroads last
year paid $1,133.361, ,46S for the
more than 10000 different items
which they use. Materials. supplies
and fuel cost $3.50. .3S3, 900, and expen-
ditures for all new equipment lex
cept that constructed in railway
shops) totaled 6.S7s.46S. More
than 10000 towns and cities located
in 2,6S3 Of the 3,072 counties Of the
