MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT.

The total charges to the various accounts under this heading show
an increase of $63,313.66, or 15.69 per cent.

Charges for supervision, shop machinery and tools, and other over-
head expense have decreased $31,415.69, due to closing down of the
Cristobal machine shop and transfer of locomotive repairs to the
Isthmian Canal Commission shop at Gorgona.

Repairs to freight cars show an increase of $66,247. 16, or 40.43 per
cent. About half of this increase is due to heavy running repairs on
account of imcreased business, our freight-car mileage and tonnage
having increased about 20 per cent over the previous year. The
balance of the increase is due to general overhauling and rebuilding
a great ny of the 60,000 and 80,000 capacity box cars during the
past year, this being the first heavy repairs made to this class of
equipment.

Charges for repairs to locomotives show an increase of $62,047.98,
due. to ies credits to this account in the previous year from bills
against the commission for engine service on relocation at a fixed
rate of $2.50 per hour. The president of the railroad has recently
ruled that the rate charged was excessive and resulted in an over-
charge of $52,494.44 against the relocation, which we will be called
ee n to refund. This explains in a measure the very low charges to

s account in the previous year which resulted in the increase
during og present year, as shown above. 3
