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."
More than 1000 miles of Kansas
