—The railways in India, which are
both owned and operated by the Gov-
ernment, yield a handsome profit.
Tho Rt. Hon. John Morley, made the
statement in the British House of
Commons, that although the average
passenger rate was less than half a
cent a mile, there was a profit last
year of $5,000,000. The railways and
irrigation together showed a profit,
after meeting all charges for working
expenses and interest, of $15,510,000.
