SOUTHERN PACIFIC BUSINESS ifl 1935 BEST FOR 4 YEARS gressively throughout tne year, In crease In number of loaded freight so far as the traffic handled by the nation's railroads Is concerned, but the favorable factors t present out weigh the unfavorable. "Accordingly, our 1930 appropria tion for the maintenance of the prop erty of Southern Pacific and It prin cipal subsidiaries has been Increased by approximately 15,400,000 over the 1034 budget for these purposes. "Projected expenditures for Im provement and expansion of service, so far as has bewn determined, will be about 113, 180,000, nearly 100 per cent Increase over like expenditures during the past year. , "Project involved In these expen ditures Include completion of the program for alr-condltloning all pas senger coaches, dining cars, club, lounge and Pullman cars used In all principal Southern Pacific trains and for continuation of plans to speed freight service. "During the closing year Southern Pacific has extended Its eo-ordnated rail and truck service to provide store-door pickup and delivery serv ice to shippers using its lines and has placed new merchandise freight trains In sol flee. Including the fast est freight trains in the west, to In sure early first-morning delivery of less-than-carload shipments at most points over the system. "Other Improvements In freight transportation and equipment are planned for the coming yaer. "In addition to alr-condltloning of passenger train equipment, schedules have been speeded during the last year and fares reduced. Further Im provements in passenger service and equipment are planned this year. "Other projects for the betterment of service are under contemplation and these, together with the Items mentioned, will be carried forward as extensively and as rapidly as seems Justified by the progress of recovery of general business, and continuing Increase In volume of our own traf fic. 'There are, however, several dis turbing factors, as far as Improving the condition of American railroads are concerned. The railroads are faced with Increased taxes, both di rectly and Indirectly, and with laws that add to their financial burden, "But with an understanding and constructive attitude on the part of leglsltlve and administrative bodies, as well as the people generally, I be lieve the railroads will continue to progress, and that such progress, with accompanying Increased payrolls and purchases, extension and Improve ment in service, will contribute ma terially to the restoration of normal business activity."
