Toronto Govern- | RAILWAY FIGURES NOT ENCOURAGING EXPERTS DECLARE Net Returns of C.N.R. Are Below the Returns of 1926 DEFICIT IS HEAVY Earnings Far Below the Re- quirements for Balancing of Account Ottawa, March 25. -- The state- ment presented by Sir Henry Thorn- ton on Thursday when he appeared before the special committee on Can- adian National Railways has caused some discussion among members of Parliament and outsiders because of obvious discrepancies between the figures given this year and those which appeared in the official report of the railway for 1926. For example, the net operating revenue for 19297 is placed at $42,113976, and this was announced as a decrease of $5,790,028 as compared with 1926. But the net operating earnings for 1926 were placed at $48,225,030. and the differ- ence would therefore be $6,111,054. The explanation suggested in some quarters is that the figures given to the committee omit the facts in rela- tion to certain parts of the system, possibly in the United States, and that the comparison was on that basis, May Be Greater If that be so, one authority here has predicted that the final showing will be more adverse than that pre- sented Thursday by Sir Henry Thornton, and two weeks ago by the Minister of Railways, During a recent discussion in Par- liament, Hon. R. B. Bennett took ex- ception to the announcement of the Minister of Railways that the net op- erating earnings for 1927 would be sufficient to meet interest due to the public on Canadian National securi- ties, and he is sustained in that view by experts familiar with railway ac- counting. The Leader of the Oppo- sition pointed out that certain fixed charges had to be met hefore interest payments could take place; and that cannot be disputed. At the same time, certain items of income have to be added to revenue accounts. When additions and de- ductions have been made, in accord- ance with the prescribed system, the halanve is available for interest due to the public. The facts as to additions and de- ductions for 1927 have not yet been made public; but those who are fa- miliar with the situation insist that they will not make the result as fav- orable as it was in 1920, Fixed Charges Be that as it may, it is pointed out that fixed charges against net oper- ating revenue in 1926 had a total of $13,966,815. Chief among these were | taxes, $5,281,818; hire of freight and passenger cars, $4,312,281; rent of leased roads, $1,487,040; joint facili- ties, $958,464; loss on operated out- side properties, $646,747; amortiza- tion, $518,886. There can be no ques- tion, it is said, about these charges taking precedence of interest due to the public, one of the reasons being that they are actually paid during the course of the year, On that basis, the system would have fallen far short of having a credit balance suf- ficient to meet interest at the end of 1926; hut it had special revenues amounting to $7,622,827; so that the actual deduction from net operating revenue in that year was but $6,343,- 788. Thus, an interest payment of $39,701,896 was made in 1926 and $2,179,146 carried forward as a net operating income surplus. LIONEL J. W.

ONE DEAD, 3 HURT, RESULT OF DITES Wounds Caused By Teeth of Infuriated Man During Quarrel Montreal March 25.--One wo- man is dead, a man is delirious and in a serious condition, and another man and a woman are under medi- cal treatment as a result, it is al- leged, of being bitten by an in- furiated man with infected teeth during a quarrel which broke out during St, Patrick's Day festivi- ties in an apartment on Benoit street a week ago Saturday night, The dead woman was Mrs, Sarah Marcoux, azed 49, a widow, of this city. She died today from infection resulting froni bites in the flesh of her right arm. Adelard Brabant, aged 53, who was bitten about the face when he entered the apart- ment of Mrs. Marcoux, in response to her.shrieks, was under guard in hospital tonight, as he threatened, in his furious delirium, to flee from the building, In Self-defense, He Says Albert Shutes, aged 56, a former Newfoundlander who lives on St, Dominique Street, was the at- tacker of the four persons, police say, Shutes, who volunteered the statement that he was drunk and was attempting to defend himself when the bites were infected, suf- fers from hadly infected teeth, ac- cording to authorities at Alexandra Hospital, who say that the man is otherwise normal. The story of the affray came to light on Saturday when Shutes was arraigned before Chief Judge Per- rault on a charge of assault and wounding. He pleaded not guilty; was remanded three days to head- quarters, and enquete was set for March 30. With the death of Mrs, Mar- coux an inquest will be held prob- ably Tuesday and it is expected that a new charge will be laid against the prisoner, Two Other Victims Walter Davis, aged 38, another apartment house resident, was also a victim of the infected teeth, He came in answer to the cries for help and was badly bitten about the right hand. After hospital Last year, however, net operating revenue fell off by $6,111,054, while interest due to the public rose to $40,448,274. Unless .these figures are | subject to very favorable qualifica- | tion later on, the Canadian National | was probably short by nearly $5.-| 000,000 of having a cash balance suf- | ficient to meet its public obligation | in 1927, | Flood Losses | That view is strengthened by the | facts as to the New England line. It | was very badly damaged by floods, and as a protective measure was | thrown into receivership. The recon- | struction will be charged to capital, but the operating loss will unavoid- ably be reflected im the results for the year. It is further observed that only in 1926, when the net operating revenue was $48,225,030, did the Cana- dian National come within fifteen millions of earning its obligations to the public. In 1924 the shortage was $23,410,037. There remains; of course, the inter- est due by the Canadian National on Government loans. These advances from the public treasury had a total, up to the end of 1927, of $611,747,240. The unpaid interest thercon was given at $193751,357 at the end of 1926, and could not be less than $220,- 000,000 in December last. This would mean a principal obligation of about $834,000,000. But it is pointed out that the interest item is merely sim- ple interest, while unavoidably and ineyitably the compounding process has been at work. That would mean that the principal has now grown to over $976,000000, at five per cent. On that basis, and combining both in- terest due to the public and to the Government, the deficit last ycar would reach $50,000,000. Railway accounting officers insist that there is no escape , from that conclusion, and they further insist that this situation as to uncarned in- terest due to government is the rcal crux of the railway problem, During recent days, and since the inquiry began before the special com- mittee of Parliament, there has been considerable discussion as to how much the Canadian National has bor- rowed on its account while receiving large loans from Government. The answer was given the other day by the Prime Minister, when he told Parliament that the total was $381,- » a HALLIDAY HAMILTON Get Your Lamp This Week - Special Offer Ends Saturday $10 Table Lamps for $4.95 With every $10.00 worth of cash receipts, Beautiful hand painted pottery lamps with hand painted shades.
