To the Stockholders of

T H E N E W Y O R K C E N T R A L A N D H U D S O N R I V E R R A I L R O A D C O M P A N Y :

The following report is submitted by the Board of Directors named in the agreement of consolidation approved at a special meeting of the stockholders, held in the city of Albany on April 16, 1913, and covers the entire year ended December 31, 1913, although the operations of the property were conducted under two distinct corporations, each bearing the name of The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company.

The former of these two corporations merged with itself, on March 7, 1913, the fol­lowing named companies, whose properties had been operated under various leases and agreements and whose entire capital stock was owned by The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company:

Buffalo Erie Basin Railroad Company Carthage & Adirondack Railway Company The Gouverncur & Oswegatchie Railroad Company The Mohawk & Malone Railway Company New York & Ottawa Railway Company The New York & Putnam Railroad Company (which on the same day

merged with itself The Mahopac Falls Railroad Company) The New York Central Niagara River Railroad Company The Spuytcn Duyvil & Port Morris Railroad Company Tivoli Hollow Railroad Company Tonawanda Island Bridge Company

The second corporation was formed by the consolidation, under an agreement dated March 5, 1913, becoming effective April 16, 1913, of The New York Central and Hud­son River Railroad Company, Rome Watertown & Ogdensburg Railroad Company, The Utiea & Black River Railroad Company, Oswego & Rome Railroad Company, The Niagara Falls Branch Railroad Company, Carthage Watertown & Sackets Harbor Rail­road Company (the property of the latter four companies having been operated under the lease of the Rome Watertown & Ogdensburg Railroad) and the Little Falls & Dolge-ville Railroad Company which had been operated independently. The outstanding capital stock of these companies was owned by The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company, with the exception of a slight proportion on which a convertible value of $2,851,766 was set.

By these corporate changes, property, the cost of which to the original companies was $62,607,792.29, has been added to that formerly owned by the company at a cost of $54,307,693.55, which covers securities purchased, advances for construction purposes to

was not increased except by the • convertible value of the stocks of the consolidating companies in the hands of the public at the date of the consolidation, nor was the surplus of the new company affected by the merger or consolidation.

It should be borne in mind that the interest on all bonds assumed in connection with the merger and consolidation was formerly paid by The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company as rental of the properties covered by the various mortgages, with the exception of $300,000 of bonds issued by the Carthage Watertown & Sackets Harbor Railroad Company on which interest was paid out of that company's income.

The mileage embraced in the operation of the road is tabulated as follows: M i l e s

In view of the merger and consolidation, results of the operation of the Ottawa & New York Railway are not, after January 1, 1913, included with the operations of this company and in the following analyses and the tables upon which they are based, the report of December 31, 1912, has been revised for purpose of comparison by eliminating all items arising from the operation of the Ottawa & New York Railway.

For the year covered by this report the revenue from transportation was $115,218,498.91, an increase of $6,960,749.27; revenue from operations other than trans­portation was $1,685,805.14, an increase of $245,966.44; revenue from auxiliary opera­tions (connected with, but in addition to transportation by rail) was $5,780,345.32, an increase of $201,261.43.

Rail operating revenues showed large increases through the earlier months of the year, the increase up to October 31, being $7,784,039.77, but November and December revenues declined $577,342.06, reducing the increase in rail operating revenues to $7,206,715.71 for the entire year.

The total gross revenue from all operations was $122,684,649.37, an increase of $7,407,977.14.

Freight revenue was $68,986,695.35, an increase of $3,996,721.30. The revenue freight carried amounted to 55,100,277 tons, an increase of 3,265,223 tons over last year.

A l l five groups of classified commodities show increased tonnage carried during the year, the largest increase being in products of mines, in which group bituminous coal gave an increase of 2,353,416 tons (equal to 19 per cent) while anthracite coal and coke show 370,408 tons less than in the preceding year. Products of agriculture show an increase of 411,099 tons, chief of which is grain with an increase of 327,690 tons. Products of animals show an added tonnage of 126,245, generally distributed throughout the classified list of this class of freight. Products of forests increased 196,514 tons. Manu­factured articles increased 250,047 tons, the only decreases being in bar and sheet metal, iron and steel rails, pig and bloom iron and in other articles in this group not separately classified. Commodities not classifiable increased 115,677 tons.

The total revenue of all passenger-train transportation was $44,470,102.28, an increase of $2,989,205.77 over the year 1912. Of this amount the revenue from express traffic was $4,708,835.70, a decrease of $23,892.94, due to shrinkage in the volume of business. Mai l revenue was $3,017,827.93, an increase of $486,683.31 which accrued in the last six months of the year, due to the adjustment of mail pay, based on the regular quadrennial weighing of the mail carried which took place in the spring of 1913. This increase is due to the normal growth of the mail matter carried since the last weighing of the mail four years ago and in a small degree to the additional parcel post matter carried. The remuneration to the railroad company for parcel post matter carried was based on the limit of eleven pounds, no provision having been made as yet by Congress for com­pensation for the additional weights of mail carried consequent on the enlargement of the parcel post weight limit on August 15, 1913. The situation in reference to railway mail pay is still unsatisfactory and is unsettled, pending the report of the joint Congressional Committee now sitting and the taking of definite action by Congress on the findings of that committee.

The New York Central and Hudson Ewer Railroad Company

The expenses of rail operations amounted to $87,932,040.97, an increase of $6,802,202.32. The ratio of rail operating expenses to the total revenues for the year was 75'22 per cent, an increase of 126 per cent over the ratio for the year 1912. Of the total increase of $6,802,202.32 the larger part was occasioned by increased expenditures in the upkeep of the road and equipment, the total increases being as follows: for main­tenance of way, structures and equipment, $4,458,058.91, for expenses of securing and transporting traffic $2,176,222.63 and for general administration $167,920.78.

The operating expenses, by groups, were: Maintenance of way and structures $16,941,987 46 an increase of $2,292,922 18 Maintenance of equipment 22,584,246 05 an increase of 2,165,136 73 Traffic expenses 2,284,267 06 a decrease of 25,349 22 Transportation expenses 43,165,465 48 an increase of 2,201,571 85 General expenses 2,956,074 92 an increase of 167,920 78 Auxiliary operations 5,725,537 41 an increase of 470,479 86

In the maintenance of way and structures, the following are the items which con­stitute the principal increases:

Ties, $602,365.70, due to the average price of ties having advanced about eight cents per tie, and due to a somewhat larger number laid during the year 1913, to compensate for the smaller number in 1912, owing to the slow delivery during that year.

Rails, $92,293.45, due to a somewhat larger renewal than formerly having been made, in order to equip certain portions of the property for the use of more modern and econom­ical motive power. The cost of increased weight of rail is charged to property account.

Other track material, $288,787.01, due to the installation of heavy tie-plates to prolong the life of ties, and to other miscellaneous track improvements.

Roadway and track, $647,475.41, due to additional labor employed in placing ties and laying rail, together with a necessary increase in wages averaging 6 per cent, or about $300,000, which began to accrue in March and April , 1913.

Bridges, trestles and culverts, $408,338.69, due to the renewal and strengthening of bridges on certain portions of the road, notably that acquired from the Rome Watcrtown and Ogdensburg Railroad and the lines leased from the Boston & Albany and West Shore railroad companies, and upon certain branches, to permit the operation of heavier and more economical motive power and equipment.

Buildings, fixtures and grounds, $492,989.17, due largely to the replacement of the passenger stations at Rochester, Utica, Pittsfield, Worcester and at other minor stations.

In the maintenance of equipment, repairs of steam locomotives decreased S300,161.93, due to various extensive repairs having been made in 1912 in conjunction with the installa­tion of modern fuel economizing devices, which made it unnecessary to perform equally heavy repairs during the year 1913.

Freight-train car repairs increased $1,761,101.13, due principally to installing safety appliance devices to 14,400 cars, as required by the Interstate Commerce Commission regulations, installing steel underframes to 4,088 cars, and, in connection with the installation of steel underframes, thoroughly renovating many of the cars by applying steel roofs, steel ends, improved trucks and draft-gear rigging. In addition, 15,000

Annual Report

other freight cars were subjected to medium and heavy repairs necessitated by the heavy business which was handled during the first nine months of the year.

It was also necessary during the year to increase the wage scale about 6 per cent in the mechanical department, involving an annual increase of about $425,000, of which about $250,000 accrued during the year and is reflected in the item of car repairs and other items in equipment repairs as a whole.

In transportation expenses, the following is an explanation of the principal items: In New York and New Jersey, so-called Full Crew laws were enacted, introducing

an additional annual expense of approximately $560,000, on account of which there accrued in the expenditures of 1913 about $200,000.

As a result of arbitration with the firemen and conductors and trainmen, which will be referred to later in this report, an additional annual expense of about $850,000 was in­volved, of which there accrued during 1913 approximately $300,000.

It was further necessary to increase the wages of station forces about 6 per cent and also add to the number of men employed to handle the additional volume of business.

Superintendence increased $70,699.93 due to the necessity of having to employ addi­tional officers and clerical forces to transact the transportation business of the company, including the preparation of operating reports and statistics in connection with arbitrations and in compliance with the regulations of the various commissions and public authorities having jurisdiction; together with some increase in wages to clerical forces and additional office rent for the enlarged number of employees.

Although the quantity of fuel consumed in transportation service during the year was 70,000 tons less than in 1912 because of the use of fuel economizing devices, there is an increase of $183,000 in the charge for fuel for locomotives, due entirely to an increase in cost averaging six cents per ton.

Continued efficiency in the operation of equipment is indicated by the traffic statistics. Freight locomotive mileage increased less than V/i per cent while freight car mileage increased over 8 per cent and ton mileage increased slightly more than 10J^ per cent; the average load in freight trains increased 47J/£ tons, or over 9 per cent, and the number of freight cars to a train was 7 per cent more than in the previous year.

In general expenses appear, for the first time, charges in connection with the valuation of railroad property amounting during the year to $15,906.69.

In the operation of the pension department 140 employees were retired and placed upon the pension roll. Of these retirements 75 were authorized because of the attain­ment of seventy years of age and 65 because of total and permanent physical disability. Ninety-four pensioners died during 1913 and at the close of the year 746 retired employees were carried upon the pension rolls. The average monthly pension allowance to these men was $24.35 and the total amount paid in pension allowances during the year was $220,682.31, an increase over the previous year of $19,146.00.

Auxiliary operations show a decrease in net revenue of $269,218.43, the largest de­creases being in harbor terminal transfers, $304,634.73, and freight storage plants, $31,204.01; and the main increases in dining and special-car service with a reduced deficit of $40,808.88; and grain elevators with an increased net revenue of $38,330.94.

The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company

The amount of taxes on railroad property accrued during the year was $6,356,545.91, equal to 5'18 per cent of the gross revenue from railroad and auxiliary operations and was $462,550.00 larger than the accruals in 1912. A saving of approximately $38,000.00 in the amount of taxes payable on capital stock to the State of New York was effected by the cancellation of the capital stock of the roads merged and consolidated. A decrease of S187,176.34 in the taxes on real estate and of 87,373.58 in the taxes for special franchises occurred. The year's accounts, however, include a charge of $835,512.00, being the amount of county tax for recording the new mortgage executed after the close of the year under review. The Federal Government excise tax on the income of corporations assessed against this company and its leased lines on the net income of the year 1912 amounted to $147,366.72, an excess of $19,120.88 over the amount paid on the income of 1911 charged to the accounts of the year 1912. Although the principle, on which this com­pany brought test cases, that corporations whose property was leased for a fixed annual rental to an operating corporation were not carrying on business and wTere not subject to the imposition of the income tax, was affirmed by the judgment of the Supreme Court on appeal by the Federal Government from the rulings of the lower courts, the Government officers have insisted that the taxes assessed against leased lines must be paid and they have, accordingly, been paid, under protest, and suits have been brought for the recovery of all the taxes so paid since the institution of the excise tax in 1909.

In deductions from gross corporate income there appears a decrease of $1,536,335.66 in the rentals of leased lines, but this is partly offset by an increase of $898,859.34 in the charge for interest on bonds due to the assumption as funded obligations of this company of the bonds of merged and consolidated companies and a decrease of $465,905.71 in the income derived by this company from interest and dividends on securities of those ab­sorbed companies which were cancelled on the consummation of the mergers and con­solidation, and which amounted to the sum of $655,881.13 in 1912 against the sum of $189,975.42 for the period of 1913 before the cancellation took place. The rental of the Boston & Albany Railroad increased $76,362.59 for the year due to a charge for interest from July 14th on an issue of $2,015,000 improvement bonds amounting to $46,736.81; the charge for a full year's interest amounting to $45,000.00 on $1,000,000 of improve­ment bonds of 1912 against $22,500.00 for six months in that year; and the charge of $9,067.50 for the increased rate of interest on an issue of refunding bonds at 5 per cent replacing a similar amount of bonds of 1893 which bore interest at the rate of 4 per cent per annum. There was a decrease of $2,125.65 in the rental of the Providence Webster & Springfield Railroad, included in the lease of the Boston & Albany Railroad, and slight increases, for corporate expenses, in the rentals of the Pittsfield & North Adams Railroad and the Ware River Railroad.

Interest on funded obligations of this company increased $1,604,461.98 due to the fol­lowing causes: interest on this company's pro rata liability in connection with equipment trust certificates of 1913; interest on this company's liability in connection with Boston & Albany equipment trust of 1912 for a full year as against three months in 1912; interest on an additional issue of $32,000 of gold debentures of 1912; and interest on securities as­sumed as part of the merger and consolidation agreements, the latter class being offset by an approximately similar reduction in the amount paid for rental of leased lines.

Annual Report

In other income appears a decrease of $682,001.21 in dividends on stocks and interest on funded debt owned. This apparent decrease is caused by the cancellation of securities owned by this company, as referred to in the paragraph dealing with deductions from gross corporate income, and the reduction of the rate of dividend on American Express Company stock.

The rate of dividend on the capital stock of The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company for the year was five per cent, being the same as for the years 1912 and 1911.

During the year the company has purchased 949 shares of the capital stock of the New York & Harlem Railroad Company, bringing the total holdings of this stock, at December 31, up to the number of 123,916 shares, being approximately 62 per cent of the total outstanding. It has also acquired 7,500 shares of a par value of $750,000 of the capital stock of the Wells Fargo Express Company, being its pro rata proportion of the stock of that company based on this company's ownership of the stock of the American Express Company.

Several very extensive and important projects for the improvement of facilities have been carried on during the year, chief of which are the following:

Improvements at Utica, consisting of a new brick and stone passenger station, a new engine terminal, increase of terminal yard tracks and the installation of new signal apparatus, for which has been expended during the year the sum of $1,645,881.88.

Improvements at Rome, comprising a change of line including grading tracks, signals, new passenger station and new water station. The charges on account of this improve­ment reached the total of $483,173.01 during the year.

Improvements at Rochester, comprising a new stone passenger station, purchase of land for enlargement of Kent Street yard, new freight facilities, extension and recon­struction of several bridges, the closing of Joiner Street, placing additional tracks, the building of a new power house for heating the passenger station and other buildings and the erection of several auxiliary buildings, involving during the year an expenditure of $689,505.64.

Four-tracking the Hudson division from Storm King to Chelsea and through Pough-keepsie to Germantown. Included in this plan are new passenger stations at Staats-burgh and Rliinecliff; new ferryhouse, yard tracks, etc, at Fishkill Landing; elimination of grade crossing, new sidings and grading at Poughkeepsie; extending and reconstructing various bridges; and purchase of land at various points. The charges on account of this improvement reached the total of $2,592,855.97 during the year.

Four-tracking from Mott Haven to Peekskill and the electrification of line from Mott Haven to Croton, including the consequent changes in bridges, stations and signals, cost during the year $1,727,830.35. In this is included the development of a new terminal of the Electric division at Harmon and an important and comprehensive plan of improve­ments at Yonkers, consisting of the elevation of tracks and the construction of additional main tracks, a new passenger station, a new freight station, a new freight yard layout and a new passenger station at Glcnwood; elimination of grade crossings at Irvington and Ossining, including new stations, additional tracks and signal work.

The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company

The construction of a connection between this company's main line and the West Shore Railroad at Harbor, east of Utica, has cost during the year 8288)909.84, of which amount $37,077.53 has been charged to the West Shore Railroad Company as advances for new construction.

Tne changing of grade crossings in the city of Buffalo, which has been in progress for many years, has been continued at a cost of $112,553.68 for the work done during the year.

The changes in the accounts relating to the property of this company during the year were: Charges on account of road:

For extensions, additions and betterments $12,832,485 47 For road acquired by merger and by consolidation 46,627,874 49 $59,460,359 96

Charges on account of equipment: For equipment purchased $8,076,782 09 For additional trust equipment 7,729,614 77 Forequipmentacquircdbymergerandbyconsolidation 7,680,801 93

m a k i n g a net addition to this company's property account of $78,918,357 34

During the year $2,451,068.45 has been accrued to represent depreciation upon equip­ment still in service. This does not, however, diminish the amount of actual investment in equipment.

The changes in the character of the rolling stock in revenue service have been numer­ous and extensive, in continuance of the policy of substituting the strongest and safest cars for such equipment as was not considered to be of the required standard of efficiency and service (but which could be used safely in non-revenue service) and of equipping wooden cars with steel underframes. The following table exhibits the large increases in steel and steel-underframe cars which have been secured during the last two years: Cars in passenger S e r v i c e : Y e a r 1911 Y e a r 1912 Y e a r 1913 1913 over 1911

During the year a net increase of 111 steam locomotives in service is shown and an increase of 10 electric locomotives of an improved type and having a capacity to haul trains of 1000 tons at a speed of sixty miles an hour. Thirty steel passenger-train cars have been equipped with multiple-unit electric motors and 25 new multiple-unit cars have been acquired, bringing the number of self-propelled cars in passenger service in the Electric division up to 192.

Annual Report

As indicated in last year's report this company together with other New York Central Lines entered into an equipment trust agreement, dated January 1, 1913, under which $24,000,000 of equipment trust certificates, bearing interest at the rate of 4^ per cent per annum, were to be executed to cover 90 per cent of the cost of equipment to be acquired. Out of these $24,000,000 of certificates authorized there was issued "during the year an aggregate of $15,494,000. The cost of the equipment assigned to this company in connection with the issue of these certificates is approximately $6,697,792.16 and its pro rata amount of certificates representing an amount not to exceed 90 per cent of the cost is $6,028,012.95.

During the year 1913 practically all of the railroads in the eastern section of the United States, operating in the territory east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers, were parties to arbitrations, first with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen and later with the Order of Railway Conductors and Brother­hood of Railroad Trainmen, acting jointly.

The concerted movement of the firemen demanded standardization of pay and working conditions, involving an increase in the wages of firemen employed by this company of approximately 43 per cent, and resulted in arbitration under the Erdman Act. The railroads selected M r . William W. Atterbury, Vice President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the firemen designated M r . Albert Phillips, Vice President of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen. The third member of the Board (appointed by the federal authorities) was the Honorable William L . Chambers of Washington, D . C , who was selected chairman.

The arbitration proceedings were held in New York from March 10th to April 5th and on April 23rd an award was handed down which provided for an increase in the wages paid to firemen on the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad of 9'2 per cent, or approximately $250,000 per annum.

While the Conference Committee of Managers was engaged in preparation for the firemen's arbitration proceedings, a petition approved October 19, 1912, by the Eastern Association of General Committees, Order of Railway Conductors and Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, for standardization of rates of pay, involving an increase in the pay­rolls of this company estimated at $1,769,000, or 24 per cent per annum, was presented to all roads east of Chicago and north of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, and to the Conference Committee of Managers as well, with a view to ascertaining whether the matter would be handled by the several roads individually or in concert. United action was determined upon by the roads concerned and an Arbitration Board consisting of six members was agreed to under the terms of the Newlands Amendment of the Erdman Act. The railroads were represented upon this Board by M r . W. W. Atterbury, Vice President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and Mr . A . H . Smith, Senior Vice President, New York Central Lines.

The conductors' and trainmen's organizations designated as their representatives M r . L . E . Sheppard, Senior Vice President, Order of Railway Conductors and Mr . D. L . Cease, Editor and Manager of "The Railroad Trainman"; and the four members so selected met and completed their Board by choosing the Honorable Seth Low and Dr. John H . Finley, President of the College of the City of New York.

The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company

The Board so constituted, having chosen M r . Seth Low as its chairman, heard testimony between September 11th and October 15th and on November 10th handed down its award, which provided for an increase in the wages of conductors and trainmen employed by this company of approximately $553,000 per annum, or 7'4 per cent.

Section 19-A of the Act to Regulate Commerce, which became a law on the first day of March, 1913, provides that the Interstate Commerce Commission shall investigate and ascertain the value of all the property owned or used by all railroad companies. The Commission is required to ascertain and report in detail as to each piece of property owned or used, the original cost to date, cost of reproduction new, cost of reproduction less depreciation; also all other values and elements of value, if any, of such property. It is also required to investigate and report upon the history and organization of the present and of any previous corporation operating the property; upon moneys received by reason of any issue of stocks, bonds or other securities; upon the syndicating, banking and other financial arrangements under which such issues were made and the expense thereof, together with a large number of other matters unnecessary to specify in detail. The companies are required to cooperate with and aid in the work of the valuation of their properties in such particulars and to such extent as the Commission may require and direct. It is impossible even to approximate at this time the expense which will thereby be incurred.

Shortly after the passage of the Act, the principal carriers of the country, including this company, organized an association known as The Presidents' Conference Committee. This committee in an informal conference with the Commission pledged its hearty co­operation in the work. It has appointed an Engineering Committee consisting of fifteen members, which for several months past has been engaged in discussing with the Board of Engineers appointed by the Commission, the maps, profiles and schedules which shall be furnished by the carriers to the Commission for its use in inspecting, listing and valuing the property of the carriers. The questions involved have been of great importance and difficulty and as a result the conferences have necessarily taken a very considerable time and no active work has been undertaken by the Commission upon the property of this company. It is expected, however, that progress will be made during the year 1914.

The performance of the work for this company has been undertaken by a Valuation Committee appointed by the Board of Directors. The committee is engaged in the preliminary inquiries essential to the proper organization of the necessary forces and in making the preparations necessary to comply with the requirements of the Commission.

In May, 1913, The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company joined with other roads, operating in the official classification territory, in an application to the Interstate Commerce Commission for a change in the tariffs which would produce an increase of approximately five per cent in freight rates. The Commission has the matter under advisement; at the present time there is no definite indication of the date when a conclusion will be reached by the Commission nor of the character of its decision.

During the year covered by this report, The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company has been authorized to execute three mortgages, two of which, known as the extension mortgage, dated April 16, 1913, and the consolidation mortgage, dated June 20, 1913, have actually been executed.

Annual Report

The extension mortgage simply extends the lien of The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company's $100,000,000 first mortgage, dated June 1, 1897, so as to cover the railroad properties of certain companies consolidated during the past year, which properties that company had, previous to consolidation, held under lease, the lease­holds being subject to the first mortgage.

The consolidation mortgage, which covers the lines of railroad owned by this com­pany and certain stock and leasehold interests held by it, and which provides for the issuance of not exceeding $167,102,400 of four per cent bonds to mature on the first day of February, 1998, has been executed to the Bankers Trust Company, as trustee, to secure bonds and debentures to the amount of $167,102,400. The bonds so secured are the $90,578,400 of three and one-half per cent Lake Shore collateral bonds, $19,336,000 of three and one-half per cent Michigan Central collateral bonds, $48,000,000 of the deben­tures of 1904 and $9,188,000 of the debentures of 1912. It is provided that the four per cent bonds issued under this mortgage may, from time to time, as the Board of Direc­tors decides, be offered in exchange for and to retire the Lake Shore collaterals, the Michigan Central collaterals, or the debentures. The consolidation mortgage does not increase the present bonded indebtedness of the company.

The refunding and improvement mortgage, which has been authorized by the Board of Directors, the stockholders, the Public Service Commission of the State of New York and the Public Utility Commission of New Jersey, is intended to provide for the future financing of the company or of a successor consolidated company, so far as such financing is to be met by the issuance of bonds. The bonds to be issued under this mortgage will become due on October 1, 2013, and the amount thereof at any time outstanding, together with all outstanding prior debt of the railroad company, is not to exceed three times the amount of the capital stock of the company or of a successor consolidated company, as the amount of such stock is from time to time increased. Under the terms of the mortgage the Board of Directors is given the power to issue bonds, in series, bearing interest at such rates as shall be fixed and determined by the Board, for the purposes specified in the mortgage, up to the sum of $500,000,000. When the amount issued shall be $500,000,000 no additional amount of bonds shall thereafter be issued, except to refund prior debt, unless such further issue shall have been authorized by a majority vote of the stockholders. None of the additional bonds which may be so authorized by the stockholders shall be issued in respect of work done, or property acquired, in any amount exceeding eighty per cent of the cost of such work or property.

In connection with the Grand Central Terminal improvement, the main concourse, the waiting room and many of the permanent facilities were opened to the public on February 1, 1913, and since that date rapid progress has been made towards the com­pletion of the work. The shell of the incoming station has been completed and con­tract awarded for the interior finish and this important part of the terminal is expected to be ready for use by the middle of 1914. The Vanderbilt Avenue store and office building was completed and occupied during the summer and the Biltmore Hotel finished and opened on December 31st. The foundations for the Yale Club building at the corner of 44th Street and Vanderbilt Avenue have been commenced and this structure, in architectural harmony with the rest of the terminal improvements, is expected to be com-

pleted during 1914. The new building for the Railroad Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, at 50th Street and Park Avenue, is nearly finished and should be ready for opening by the summer of 1914. The hospital building at 42d Street and Lexington Avenue and the old Grand Central Palace have been demolished and removed and the work of excavation for the loops was commenced immediately on their removal. A l l the multiple-unit trains are now run in and out of the suburban level and many of the temporary tracks on the Lexington Avenue side have been put at the disposal of the engineering department in connection with the work of excavating for the loops. It is expected that the inner loop tracks in the suburban level will be placed in service during 1914, but the outer loop tracks on both levels will probably not be finished before the early part of 1915.

The public street system from 42d Street to 57th Street was entirely completed during the year and the different cross streets were opened at the various dates which had been fixed by the city. In order to complete the street system it is necessary for the City of New York to build the bridge over42d Street, connecting Park Avenue at 40th Street with the driveway around the station building, but the commencement of this work has been delayed awaiting a final conclusion by the public authorities as to the location of the subway connection between Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue; it is expected that the question will be settled soon, so that the full benefit of the street system may be secured and the front of the Terminal Building finished in accordance with the published plans.

John Pierpont Morgan, who had been a director of this company since November 28, 1899, died on March 31, and on April 16, his son, John Pierpont Morgan, was made a member of the Board of Directors to succeed him. On December 16, George S. Bowdoin, who had been a director since February 4, 1898, died and his place in the Board was vacant at the end of the year.

On November 18, 1913, William C. Brown announced his resignation from the office of President which he had held since February 1, 1909, and his position as a director which he had occupied from January 27, 1909, to take effect at the close of the year 1913. On December 10th, Alfred H . Smith, Senior Vice President, was elected to be President of the company to succeed Mr . Brown from January 1, 1914.

The following changes in Executive officers were made during the year: April 1, Alfred LI. Smith was made Senior Vice President; Abraham T. Hardin

was made Vice President in charge of operation, maintenance and construction; on August 26, Howard M . Biscoe was made Vice President in charge of the Boston & Albany Railroad from September 1, to succeed James H . Hustis, resigned.

The following appointments were made during the year: February 1, Miles Bronson was made General Superintendent of the Electric Division

and Terminal Manager of the Grand Central Terminal; Garret H . Wilson was made Superin­tendent of the Electric Division and Superintendent of the Grand Central Terminal.

Acknowledgment is hereby rendered to officers and employees for faithful and effi­cient service.

A L F R E D H . S M I T H , Senior Vice President.
