"This showing," the announcement said, "indicates the wide¬ spread curtailment of business in the territory served by this railroad because of the abnormally severe winter weather, and also the sharp increase in the cost of running trains resulting from the same cause. . The increase in operating revenues of nearly $3,000,000 was almost completely offset by the increase in expenses."

This included $7,609,100 of non-recurring capital gains. The net gain of $29,762,660 was $11,071,000 less than in 1946. The difference, he explained, was due largely to smaller capital gains, to larger increases in special .reserves and to increased operating expenses in 1947. : ; , ' Surplus was increased during the year by $13,373,800 and the bal¬ ance of the year's gains—$16,388,800—was set aside for dividends to policyholders.
