Three Groups of Roads. The estimated net income to be re ceived by the three group's of roads is fixed at 6 per cent of the valuation placed on those groups by the commis sion..On a valuation of $8,800,000,000 the Eastern roads would receive $528 000,000. They asked for a return of $559,400,000 and are receiving a stan dard return front the government of $354,700,000, or approximately $200, 000,000 less than they sought. The valuation of the Western roads, including' those in the new mountain Pacific territory set up by the com mission for the purposes of the rate decision, is placed at $8,100,000,000. The Western roads thus would receive an estimated net operating income of $486,000,000, or about $50,000,000 less than the $537,800,000 which they sought. The standard return they are now receiving is $410,000,000. Southern roads were valued by the commission at $2,000,000,000 so that their net operating income would be $120,000,000. This is $16,000,000 less than the standard return of $138,000, I 000. The commission explained that the financial condition of the Southern carriers as a whole was more favor able than that of the roads in the other groups.
