The forty-ninth annual report of the
state railroad commissioners was is-
sued Tussdays The report forms a
very large volume, giving the complete
railroad statistics of the state. it also
contains a large map. showing all of
the street railways in the state.
The report shows that the earnings
of the steam railroads for the year
ended June 30,190],wero 841,761,906.-
20, being a decrease of $263,045.10 from
the previous year. Of this decrease
the New York New Haven and Hart
ford shows 8192, 840. 51 white the Gen
trai New England earned I7. 065. 14
more than in the previous year. The
number, of. passengers carried on all
the roads during the year was 54, 235.-
707 a gain of 883.290:17.151,993 tone
or freight were carried: being a de-
crease of 241.460 tons. Tbe report
speaks of the organisation of the East
Granby' and Sudleid' Railroad Gom-
psny. and of the dispute over the Man-
tague-Wagner farm which is now in
the courts. and gives the first court
decision in full. The various proceed
loss before the board of commission
era as to crossings and all other mat
tors in the towns are given In detail.
Under the head of accidents the re
port shows that 438 people were in-
jured. ’Of this number 114 died. Ten
passengers were among the injured
but none fatally. There were 229 em-
ployees injured, 20 fatally. and 1-17
trespassera. of whom 72 died, were

injured at grade crossings. 12 dying
as a result
The total capital stock of all the
companies on June 80. 1901, was 0103.-
343 M06838 an increase or 8300 over
that of the preceding year. made in
the stock of the Hartford and Concett-
cut Western Railroad Company. The «
capital stack issued per mile of road ‘
is $61!, 180. 72. The tom funded debt
of all the companies is 339140000.
which Is 8300. 000 less than that of the
previous year caused by the payment
of 8800. 000 of the first mortgage bonds
of the New York Providence and Bon-
ton Railroad Company which motor
on April 1 1901. The funded debt per
mile of road is 826.945. 87.
The. operating expenses for the year

The sum of :2 46542135 is reported as I 1‘
paid for taxes. which Is 31. ”5,100. 0‘)
in excess of the amount reported for
the previous year. This difference is
explained by the fact that last year
the interstate commerce commission
required the taxes on leased lines to
be reported together with the rental
of those lines as a part thereof. the
operating company reporting only the
taxes on lines Owned. This year the
taxes on all lines owned and leased are
reported together. The amount of
taxes paid direct to the attic of Con-
necticut was $973,878.34.
