DOWNS MAKES
STATEMENT ON
RAILWAY COSTS
Thinks It Important for Public
to Understand Facts of
Railway Earnings
SAVANNAH, Ga., Oct. 20—De
claring that it is important for the
public to understand the facts about
railway earnings, President L. A.
Downs of the Central of Georgia
Railway in an interesting statement
gives nformation concerning matters
of this nature. He states owners of
railway property are in a posi
tion considerably less favorable than
they occupied prior A the World
War as regards current returns on
investments.
Mr. Downs explains that the rail
way improvements necessary for
handling the increasing business of
the country are financed by borrow
ings, and that this means increased
interest charges. While railway earn
ings have increased during recent
months, the enlarged interest charg
es have cut off the stockholders from
a greater share in those increased i
earnings.
The Central of Georgia Railway
has since 1916 invested $9,573,000
in improvements to the road, and
$7,614,000 for equipment. This a
total of more than $17,000,000 for
improving facilities for public serv
ice. Yet in those eight years, the
net Railway Operating Income of the [
Central of Georgia has increased but
$475,000. The owners of the prop
erty would have received more had
they placed the money in the savings
bank at four per cent, 'han they
did receive by using it in the public
der.ee.
Mr. Downs says that a decrease in
either the volume of traffic or the
present rate level would tend to im
pair railway credit and hence en
danger the present high standard of
service.
He declares that the investor in
railway property is showing his faith
in the future, and that this faith will
be justified by continued freedom
from such legislation or regulation
as will arrest the recent improve
ment in the railroad situation.

DEATH SIGNS STARE
AT RECKLESS MOTORISTS
CHICAGO, Oct. s.—“ One was
killed here.”
Five hundred of these grim signs
have been placed on Chicago streets
in the campaign against further
deaths of children from automobiles.
There were 545 deaths from auto
mobiles in Cook County for 285
days this year or an average of more
than two a day. Many of these
tragedies involved children as thou
sands of Chicago’s voungsters have
no other place to play but in the
street.
In 1923, the year before the
signs were erected, 602 were killed
in Chicago by motor cars. In 1924
there were 564 deaths. This year’s
total is expected to mount to much
higher figures.
