Alberta Counsel On Freight Rates
Alberta counsel J J Frawley told the board the Canadian Pacific Railway can show a surplus of more than 8 million this year without a freight rate rise. He argued against a 30 percent increase, saying higher gross revenue, economies, and a 6 million dip into a 25 million deferred maintenance fund could yield the surplus. He noted 18 million would go to fixed charges and 21.31 million to dividends, while disputing using only mail earnings for those items. BC counsel C W Brazier put CPR net rail earnings at 33 million before tax, about 14 million higher than CPR’s estimate. Using nine months of data, Frawley projected 311.14 million gross rail income for the year, up from 285.44 million, with enhanced gross and withdrawals from the maintenance fund producing about 63.7 million in net railway operating income before tax.
