to a point near North Platte
As contemplated the canal will prob

As projected the canal will furnish an

This portion of the canal will be about
fitty miles in length

Xet Revenue 4
The figures shown in the statement
of net earnings do not include the
item of taxes amounting to 451
m7S and our purpose in making this
statement in this way is to have it
agree with the form of statement
given to the Inter State Commerce
Commission It will be seen that
these railroads pay on an average of
204000 per mile net revenue while
the Chicago Burlington Quincy
system of railroads in that year paid
234827 per net mile in that the
most prosperous year in the history
of that railroad
In that year the C B Q sys
tem received a net earning amount
ing to 1810077700 and 27 per cent
of that net earning was derived from
the business in Nebraska and it is a
littie extraordinary to find that 27
per cent of the taxes paid by this
system of reads was paid in Nebras
ka On the basis of net earnings
