INTRODUCTION TO POOR'S MANUAL FOR 1898.
Ix presenting the edition of POOR'S MANUAL for 1898 to the public, attention is directed to the fact that this issue marks the entrance of the work upon the fourth decade of its career as the official compendium of the annual reports of all the railroad companies of the North American Continent. Besides the returns generally contained in the reports of railroad companies, made to their shareholders, in the statements presented in the MANUAL there is added considerable information in respect to the development of the roads and systems, consisting of carefully prepared reviews of their several histories, with especial reference to the development of their lines by construction, lease or otherwise, the terms under which leased lines are controlled and a thorough description of the securities under which each division or branch has been built, etc., together with statistical exhibits, covering periods of from eight to thirty-four years, containing abstracts of their capital and income accounts, the increase in their freight and passenger traffic and other facts that may be necessary to present at a glance the financial history of the several companies in sufficient detail to meet all the requirements of our subscribers.
