LITTLE MONEY REMAINS IN
RAILROAD? KEEPINGS
“Little of the money received for
freight and passenger service
mains long in the railroud’s keeping,
since payrolls, purchases and othei
expenditures put practically all re
cespts immediately i.a»*k into tht
channels of trade and o.mmerce" uc
cording to President John J. Policy
of the Central of Georgia Railway.
In a statement published today, Mr.
Policy tells what became of the 1927
earnings of the Central.
Out of every $1<>0 received by the
Central during the year, $.'13.52 •
spent for the operation of tra
stations and other similar transporta
tion service. Included in this amount
was $5.41 for locomotive fuel.
The upkeep of cars, locomotive
and other property required $26.00.
while $3.20 covered the wearing «
of equipment. Rents paid for the
use of cars and other property be
longing to others- took $3.13. Having
no large working capital, railroads
must borrow money to finance ir
provements, etc., and the interest <
borrowed money in 1927 totaled
fll.ll.
Among the smaller items are
oral of interest. Salaries of ex
live and-general officers took 52 c
of every 100 dollars, while pension
payments to retired employes requir
ed 25 cents. Salaries of clerk?’ an*
other general office employe
amounted to $2.19. Law expenses
amounted to 42 cents, while dining
car and restaurant sendee took 62
In comparison with other expendi
tures, taxes made up one of the larg
est items, amounting to $5.40 out of
every $1.00, or $1.24 more than i
paid in dividends to stockholders!,
these latter amounting to only $4.16.
Not only did tax payments exceed
dividends, but they were greater than
the amount paid for locomotive fuel,
for rents on property of others, >
a groat many other items of operat
ing expense.
“Railroad expenditures are widely
dispersed” states Mr. Pclicy, “and
moreover they are promptly made.
These diversified expenditures stimu
late all branches of commercial activi
ty by keeping money in circulation.”
