C.P.R. Annual Report, Guide to
Canadian Development
Is, clearly understandable presentation of conditions since it affects
all phases Canada's industrial and commercial life
Li very year the
'IL people of Can-
ada have placed
before them two
documents which
in a different way
present the facts
regarding condi-
tions prevailing
throughout t h e
country. One of
these is the bud-
get of the Minis-
ter of Finance
and the otheris
the annual report
of the Canadian
E. W. Beatty,
Pacific Railway.
Chairman and The latter being
President a business docu-
ment and necessarily entirely free
from any touch of political influence
is the more clearly understandable
presentment of conditions and it is
an equally reliable guide because
there exists no .phase of Canada's in-
dustrial and commercial life which is
not touched upon and affected by the
truly national institution of which it
is an annual record.
The company's report for the year
just issued, reflects the marked con-
traction the nation's business has ex-
perienced. Gross earnings for the
year totalled $182,502,156, a decline
of $13,334,933 from those of the pre-
vious year. Freight earnings alone
decreased by $10,794,416. Working
expenses, including all taxes totalled
$145,274,914, a decrease of $13,083,-
165. Net earnings totalled $37,227,-
241, a decrease for the year of $251,-
768. The working expenses for the
year, including all taxes, amount to
79.60 per cent. of the gross earnings,
and the net earnings to 20.40 per
cent., as compared with 80.86 per
cent. and 19.14 per cent. respectively
in 1928.
In his summary to the annual re-
port Chairman and President E. W.
Beatty points out that the decrease
In freight earnings, which alone
amounted to $10,794,416, is largely
accounted for by the much smaller
movement of grain and flour, par-
ticularly the former, owing to the
Imaller' crop in Western Canada, Be
nstances also a substantial decrease
in the movement of manufactured
articles as a result of the general.
business situation. Notwithstanding
this, he says, the result of the tom-
pany's. operations must be consid-
ered satisfactory.
