NOTE. The returns for the year ending June 30, 1883, were erroneous in showing a deficit on account of interest on funded debt. This amount, $187.880 per annum, is offset by a charge against Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific Railway Cos., of same amount for rental of Humeston & Shenandoah Railroad. This error is corrected in this report, which will therefore differ from the report sent one year ago.
