Management aims to keep the ratio near 31 or 32 percent, aided by more motive power, grade reductions, and staff efforts. For 1915, average revenue train weight rose to 694 tons from 619 and 466 in 1910, with July at 773 tons and a projected annual average above 700. The rail earned 12. per cent on common stock as gross business declined versus 1913, and merchandise rate increases began February.
