SANTA FT NETS 1936 Total Compares With $9,554,315 Recorded in Preceding Period. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 5.—Operations of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Co. in }936 resulted in a sub stantial increase of gross revenues, despite adverse agricultural condi tions, the annual pamphlet report to stockholders indicated. Gross income for the year ended December 31, 1936, was $23,346,245.98, which compared with $22,749,966.22 for the previous year. Net corporate income, representing the amount available for dividends and surplus after all expenses, was $9,998, 125.53. In 1935 this was $9,554,315.11. Samuel T. Bledsoe, chairman of the Executive Committee and president of the company, also told stockholders what had been accomplished and some of the plans for 1937. Freight car loadings in 1936 were 1,363,938, an increase of 140,941 over 1935. Increased passenger revenue was re ported as due partly to improvement in general business conditions, the convenience and comfort of air-con ditioned equipment and a general re duction in transcontinental fares. The increased revenues, Bledsoe said, were practically absorbed by in creased maintenance expenditures and increased taxes. Expenditures for maintenance of way structures in creased $5,593,357.32, or 29.9 per cent. Taxes increased 34.6 per cent to $14,103,225 from $10,476,178.
