At the end of 1924 the toâ€" tal of such deficit was $54,860,419.22, while at the end of 1925 it had been cut down to $41,444,764.42. A fine tribute to the spirit disâ€" played by the thousands of employâ€" ees inâ€"theâ€"service of the Canadian National Railways is paid by Sir Henry Thornton at the conclusion of his review of the year‘s work. Like all railway heads, Sir Henry is never enamored of the idea of freight rate reductions, and he exâ€" presses himself on this subject, making the significant suggestion that if sectional reliet is to be given to any part of Canada in the form . of .lower freight rates it should take the form of Governâ€" ment subsidy, as the general freight rate structure should not, in his opinion, be disturbed. Lower Freight Rates. On this vexed freight rate quesâ€" tion Sir Henry says: "While the board recognizes the _ importanceâ€" indeed, the : necessity â€" of such freight rates as will permit all secâ€" tions of the Dominion to progress at the same time it must be clearly understood that reductions in tolls, either freight, passenger or express, which have the effect of reducing the company‘s gross revenue canâ€" not be accompanied by a continual increase in net income, and every such reduction will postpone the day when the Canadian National Railways will become selfâ€"supportâ€" ting. "If such reductions reach suffiâ€" cient proportions, the task of acâ€" complishing this desired result will become insuperable. Should subâ€" stantial reductions in freight rates be essential for the wellâ€"being ‘and development of any section of the Dominion, relief should take the form of a Government subsidy without disturbance of a reasonable: tariff fabric. The employment of, such a method permits a precise determination of the cost of the reâ€" lief without the introduction of facâ€" tors which might well disturb the whole freight rate structure of Canâ€" ada and, indeed, the North Ameriâ€" can Continent. The effect on the public purse is precisely the same no matter what method is employed. If such a policy should be adopted, obviously any subsidy should be available for all of.the railway comâ€" panies of Canada." Operating Expenses Cut Down Curtailment of operating expenses was a big factor in the 19%5 imâ€" provement of the sustem‘s financial showing, and that cut in the cost of doing business was effected without in any way impairing the efficiency of the railway‘s, physical condition, the report states. It is pointed out by Sir Henry that the saving of over $5,000,000 . in . operating expenses HEALTHY CHILDREN ALWAYS SLEEP WELL If Baby Does Not Enjoy Reâ€" freshing Sleep He is Far From Well. ‘The healthy child sleeps well and during its waking hours is never cross but always happy and daughâ€" ing.

The coâ€"operative plan adoptâ€" edâ€"inâ€"the shops at Moncton, N.B., proved so satisfactory that during last year this plan was/extended to the shops at Transcona, Fort Rouge, Stratford, London, Leaside (Foronto, St. Malo and Point St. Charles (Montreal). * Free From Labor Troubles Improvement in the operation of the Canadian National hotels is ghown for 1925. Net loss in opâ€" eration was cut from $297,938.20 in 1924 to $76,365.55 in 192%5, or a betâ€" terment of $221 572.65. Gross revâ€" enues in 1925 were increased by about $210,000. j Hotels Doing Better Net operating earnings of $32,â€" 264, 414.79, an increase of $15,020,â€" 163.31 as compared with the preâ€" ceding year, are shown in the report which was tabled in , the House of Commons toâ€"day by Hon. C. A. Dunning, Minister of Railways and Canals. This result, the report states, "may be regarded as genâ€" erally satisfactory," and was due to a combination of increased gross earnings~ and decreased expenses. Commenting upon these results, Sir Henry Thornton, Chairman and President of the company, states: "it is also interesting to note that the net operating earnings were apâ€" proximately equal to 80 per cent. of the interest payable to the public on funded debt, as compared with about 45 per cent. in 1924." Increase in Operating Profit Traffic Movement k Freight tonnage carried during the year showed an increase of 4.8 per cent. and there was an increase of 1.34 per cent. in freight train mileâ€" age, and of 5.5 per cent. in freight revenues as compared with 1924, the ratio of increase in freight revâ€" enue comparing favorably with that of Class I. roads in the United States. * Light passenger travel during the earlier months of the year, and the effect of motor®bus â€" competitio upon the railways, was indicated in decreased earnings of $615,516.78 or 1.6 per cent. by the Passenger Trafâ€" zZ6 §M e e C en \\\N; i z7 sA ww se t of over # Ifl'}.
