CNR REPORTS LARGEST INCOME IN ITS HISTORY Notwithstanding the fact• that 1948 gross operating revenues of the Canadian National Railways, at $491,269,950, were the highest in the company's history, the year ended with a deficit of $33,- 532,741, after the payment of ell charges, including taxes and int- erest, it was shown in the annual report, submitted by R. C. Vaughan, CMG, chairman and president, end tabled in the House of Commons, Operating expenses for the year amounted to $464,739,970, leaving a net operating revenue of $26,- 529,980. Taxes, equipment rents and other income accounts ag- gregated $15,232,870, The amount available for interest was $11,- 297,109. But interest on bonds held by the public was $23,202,817, and government interest, $21,- 327,033, a total of $44,829,850. The increase in gross revenues, the report states, was due to freight rate increases granted during the year. These brought in $53,670,000, but they were swallowed up by a $67,617,363 increase in operating expenses. Higher prices for materials ac- counted for—$20,906,000, of this increase and additional labor costs accounted for—$39,100,000, the two, together being more than $60,000,000. 071,970 greater than thosseere of 1947. Expenses showed an increase of $67,617,363. In 1947, with $53,- 000,000 less revenue, net earn- ings were $14,000,000 more. While traffic reflected the con- tinued high level of the country's diversified business, it was slightly lower than in 1947, the railway's busiest peacetime year. Freight tonnage showed a re- duction of 1.14 per cent. and there was a drop of 5.39 per cent. in the number of passengers car- ried.
