Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thirty-Second Annual Report on the Statistics of Railways in the United States: For the Year Ended December 31, 1918 Washington, D. June 10, 1920. To the Interstate Commerce Commission: Herewith is submitted the Thirty-second Annual Report on the Statistics of Railways in the United States for the year ended December 31, 1918. For this year the compilation of the statistics was complicated by the fact that a large propor tion of the roads were operated by the United States Govern ment. From such roads two annual reports were received, one from the Federal auditor with respect to Federal opera tions, and the other from the corporate auditor with respect to corporate transactions. No attempt has been made to give a combined report of the Federal and corporate income ao counts of each road. In the following summaries the plan has generally been fol lowed, where appropriate, of Showing separate totals for (a) corporate reports of roads under Federal operation; (b) reports of Federal operations; and (c) reports of roads not under Fed eral operation. The number of operating roads which, according to the reports on file, were under Federal operation at some time during the calendar year 1918, is shown in the following table.
