HIGH PRICES HIT ■ RAILWAY INCOME ' HEAVY ADVANCE IN COSTS OF EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS . USED BY RAILWAYS ' ■HIGH COST ( OF RAILROADING ^Writer in Railway Age Shows Hov< ; the Roads Have Suffered From High Prices . “The public knows that the pricet ji>f almost ail the things it buys havi jftdvanced greatly wilhin recent years,’ feays the Railway Age. “It apparently does not realize that the prices ol yiiost of the things that enter into the post, of living of the railways have increased much more in proportioi; (ban the prices of commodities in gen jpral, but this Is a fact, and it is (he principal reason why such large ad pances in rates are necessary. Tilt !>ublic knows pretty well how much £he railroad payroll has been increas pd. Here are a few illustrations of jtypical increases in the prices oi filings that railways have to buy: “A locomotive which in 1914 cost ($27,876 will now cost $75,750, an in crease of 171 per cent. In 1914 a rail iway had to pay only about 5 per cent interest on the money it invested in ja locomotive, while now it must pay labout 71-2 per cent. Therefore, iU nterest charges on a locomotive (bought, six years ago were $1,394 a ear, while on a locomotive bought now they will be about $5,681 a year Jin increase in fixed charges of 310 pel pent. : “An average box car bought in 1914 cost about $1000, while now it. would (cost about $3000, an increase of 20( per cent. The interest on the invest rnent in the car in 1914 would havr been about. $50 a year, while now il (would be about $225 a year, an in (crease of 350 per cent. ’ “The foregoing statistics illustrate Ithe advances which have occurred it khe prices of equipment and in the in •terest that must be paid on the in vestment, in it. The increases in the post of constructing track and bridgei •have not been so great but they have 'been very large; > “In 1915 a 90 foot through girdei • , jbridge I—not could be bought and installed including masonry—for $6,427 It would cost now $15,117, an increase pi 135 per cent. These figures are ibased upon records of the actual ex jpenditures phis road paid of a certain $12,550 road. mile In 191E foi per (merely the rail track fastenings, ties find ballast used in the constructor a new main track. The same ma fterials would now cost $26,235, an in prease of 110 per cent. For like Masses of materials used in building g mile of side track, including two ain track turnouts, this road in 1915 laid $8,620. The same materials ould now cost $16,904, an increase jof 96 per cent. ; “One important cause of the in trease in railway expenses is the ad yance in the prices of all commodi (ties and therefore in the amounts that (the railways have to pay for loss and damage to freight: £ “A certain railway recently was presented a claim for $4,511 for tht loss 6f a carload of beef. The (value of beef was, of course, Jy due to the increases in prices Su recent years. The freight earnings (front the shipment were $113.40 (Therefore, if the railway has to pay the entire claim it will take the rev jeuue from forty similar carloads ol (freight—tin entire trainload. : “There is hardly a branch of rail load operation in which unit costs (have not increased 100 to 300 per cent within the last five years.” Cl AMERICAN f the IP? fe RED PEACE CROSS TIME IN. 1 if caching First Aid / (few V }■ e; M W \ i: H ** S' M v * ' m , •/ \ ; - v o'. pr* 1 I i ^5 1 a • :■ vi .wH ‘i iLJ.
