[blocks in formation]

There is a large charge to the year's expenses for changes in line. This charge, $590,989.31, is the difference between the entire cost incurred in making these changes less the amount of such improvements which is under the Interstate Commerce Commission accounting regulations, chargeable to "Additions and Betterments." Of the amount charged there was expended on the lines of the Union Pacific Railroad $110,877.96, on the Oregon Short Line Railroad $225,595.79, and on the lines of the OregonWashington Railroad and Navigation Company $254,515.56. The unusually severe winter, followed by heavy floods in the spring, also added to the expenses about $225,000.

The following rails, ties, tie plates, and continuous rail joints were used in making renewals and the entire cost thereof was charged to operating expenses, with the exception of $114,680.49 for increased weight of rails and improved frogs and switches charged to additions and betterments, as required by the accounting regulations of the Interstate Commerce Com

The details of the operating revenues and operating expenses are shown in Table No. 25, and the details of passenger and freight traffic in Tables Nos. 27 and 28.

A large part of the decrease in the gross Operating Income resulted from the partial failure of crops in sections of the territory traversed by the lines of the Union Pacific, from the diminution in passenger travel incident thereto and from the decrease in the movement of commodities used in manufacturing and building operations. There was a slight increase in the number of tons of freight and the number of passengers carried resulting entirely from the additional miles of road operated, but there was a shrinkage in the volume of traffic moved of 8.10 per cent. in freight and of 10.12 per cent. in passengers. There was also a considerable loss

of revenue from the reduction in rates.

Although Operating Expenses were closely watched and reduced wherever possible without lowering the standards of efficiency and service to the public, they increased $625,547.93, or 1.31 per cent., notwithstanding a reduction of $3,021,874.71, or 3.47 per cent., in operating income. There was a decrease of $247,214.89, or 1.26 per cent., in expenses for "Mainte nance,' but an increase in expense for "Operations' of $872.762.82, or 3.09 per cent. This increase resulted from 633,905, or 3.47 per cent., more miles run by locomotives and motor cars in passenger service, and of 349,371, or 2.37 per cent., more miles run by locomotives in freight service -the result mainly of an increase over last year of 471.58, or 7.06 per cent., miles of additional road operated-from additional expenses imposed by the requirements of the "Hours of Service" and "Full Train Crew" laws; from higher wage schedules, from expenses incident to strike of the shopmen and from an increase in Traffic Expenses and in General Expenses. There were in service 32 gasoline motor cars. The mileage of these

cars, 777,050 miles, or 4.79 per cent. of the total revenue passenger train mileage is included in the mileage statistics.

In the following statements the details of operating expenses have been combined under titles of accounts to present the year's expenses in concise form:

The decrease in fuel for locomotives resulted entirely from a reduction in the price of fuel on the lines of the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Co. The increase in locomotive and train service resulted principally from higher wage schedules, requirements of the "Hours of Service" and "Full Train Crew" laws, and from an increase of 765,671 miles run by locomotives in transportation service.
