On this basis, compare Chesterfield is by the study of the earplogs with any other of the world of its mercantile marine and its cigarette railways; and we have DOR an opportunity to consider the latter by perusal of the annual reports of tbe four great British railway systems wbich bave THERE does Chesterfield gets its just been made public.

These These were named, roughly, after the districts they served and are. In order of importance, the London, Midland and Scottish; the Grest Western; the London and North Eastern; and tue Southern Rallway. Also it must be stated SUPPLIED BY that the Britisb Government whe went when releasing the railway systems from war time control gave the companies a sum of about one hundred million pounds in compensation for loss of revenue during that control. This Compensation Fond.

Taking the earnings of the Big Fcur railways there are one on two minor railways in London and elsewhere wbich we is superior to all imported beers sold may disregaru. we find that their gross receipts amounted to here and it sells to the public at 210, 700. 000.
