allowing that the net. rmuit ot opera-
on for the quarter was a deficit of
17.22442. as compared with a surplus
«78116.47310 for the corresponding
Quarter of last year, came as a great,
surprise, it would not be too much to
say a positive shock. to all who take
serious interest in railroad properties.
It was the first time in the history
ofbi‘hewoomppny that its quarterly we,
11 "t had.,,reuordéd a deficiency. and,
naturally inquiry was instant and ur-
xdntmn‘garding the causes. Tile ex-
planation officially given was that it
was ‘f‘att'ributable to the severe wcuth—
imposed on the company by the car
service laws of New England." The
weather conditions were indeed severe
but there had been we believe, no new
car service laws that affected opt'l'u'
time during the quarter (iiilercntly
from operations in other quarters. ll
wu'stated that the sum paid for the
use of foreign cars over what was re-
ooiled from other companies for the
use of its own cars. and our demur-
rages, was an increase of $280,000. as
compared with the corrcspomiing
quarter last year. If there had been
no change in the laws. however oner-
ous‘tthey were. this difference would
seem to have been due. in considerable
part at any rate, to methods of ad-
ministration. Fertile quarter the gross
writings had increased over the same
quarter of the previous year by the
sum of $493,029.79; but the operating
expenses showed on Illi‘l‘l‘llSD of $767.—
430.ltl, and the net earnings from op-
eration decreased $273,500.31.
Of course the blame. for this union—
ishing show was laid at the door of
President Mullen by those who did not
know that the two departments of
traffic and Operation were. before Mr.
Mellon came to the company as its
president, assigned by the. directors to
the charge of another, appointed to
the office of first vice-president. 'I‘bcre
is‘reason to believe that President
Mellon, when he received the report
of results in the operating department
for the quarter ending March 31, was
as much surprised as was the outside
public. It is not probable that he coll:
templated with equunimity the fact of
a deiicit amounting to more than 3400,-
000. the first in the history of the
company, and one. which appeared to
threaten the road's ability to main»
tain the usual rate of dividends. That
he gave immediate personal attention
to this state of affairs might be pre-
sumed. and is in fact known. _if the
statements of the results that have ob-
tained currency, although they are not
yet officially reported and will not be
foray mouth or more are trustworthy.
he has accomplished a gratifying
change in the aspect of chairs.
It. has not. been usual for tho presi—
deptgfthe New iiavcn railroad to de-
10 o" lmsclr to the dctails of opera-
tion; but this is what. it is understood,
Pmeldent Mellon has done' fairing this
department Into his special charge and
hanging it with his known oncr y,
find with absorbing application to tie
economic problem prcmmud. it is un-
orltood in financial quarters that the
otwnlngutor April wr-rc approxi-

lubrrlwwanuappmximateiy $700,000, and
substantially the some for the month

the quarter will show an increase of‘
about $1,800,000 over the some quar-
ter last year. That is to any, the total
