J, Fallon, Executive Officer, telling them in detail what the North Shore Line accomplished in 1942 under a full year of warâ€"time conditions. We believe you will be interested in some of the highlights of this report. y The extent of service rendered by a railroad is generally measured in number of car miles operated. 12,859,294 Car Miles were operated in interurban and city lines service by the North _ Shore Line during 1942, an.increase of 2,509,138 miles compared with 1941. 20,206,157 Passengers was the total handled on all interurban, city street car and bus lines, including the following: 13,016,358 interurban passengers, an increase of 4,255,941 over 1941. ; g 6,886,190 city lines passengers, an increase of 2,519,512 for the year. 303,609 interurban motor coach passengers, an increase of 130,439. 50,875 Carloads of Freight was transported a distance of 1,277,426 miles and Merchanâ€" dise Despatch, or lessâ€"carload freight inileage was 1,280,685 miles. Indicating the low fares charged by the railroad, the average of all fares was about 14 cents per mile, compared with 2.018 cents per mile in 1932, the year the railroad was placed in federal court receivership by creditors. _ o ie t 3 en ABOUT YOU...oun COSTOMERS, the statement says: "While our last year‘s performance was good, we must not overlook the fine coopera: tion we have from the public. "Were it not for the patient, tolerant attitude of our customers in their acceptence of delays and restrictions, our job would be more difficult. The only way we can show our appreciation of this fine public attitude is to further extend ourselves in giving the best service we know how."

A large number are investing in U. S. War Savings Bonds through the company‘s payroll savings plan. 4A4BOUT THE YEAR‘S RECOBRD, the statement says: "It is difficult in times like these, when we know of the sacrifices being made by those in our armed forces and with industries geared to intensively meet war demands, to claim too much credit for the work we are doing in carrying out the North Shore Line‘s vital job. "Yet, the fact remains that in 1942, with only enough equipment to meet peacetime needs; with necessary governmental restrictions on materials and supplies; with a considerable number of our men going into the armed forces and with a large, almost overnight, expansion of military and civilian traffic, we have, through hard work and ingenuity, been able to provide a greater volume of service than ever before furnished in any year in the railroad‘s history . . ; ; . . It is obvious that the railroad‘s business in 1942 was abnormal . . . . . "Many difficult and unusual problems have been imposed due to the war conditions. These have been met with a willing and determined spirit and I want to compliment the personnel of the organization. I feel that the record in 1942 was good and that the railroad‘s part in the war program was extremely helpful in the national effort." No interest on bonds or dividends on stock have been paid to investors since receiverâ€" ship (now trusteeship) in 1932. The payroll in 1942 was $2,625,304, an increase of $528,271 over 1941.
