At present levels, our net loss for 1948 will exceed S5.OOP.OOP. Long Island is a growing community. In fact, it is growing so rapidly that even with our 50 new double-deck cars, we esti- mate there still will be 3,000 daily standees during the winter months and 8,000 during the heavy summer season. To give Long Island residents the kind of a railroad they want and should have, will call for large expenditures beyond the $17,656,000 now committed to improve- ment; But beyond this' present program, ^ improvements, betterments and added fabil\ities-oan-be^p_rpvided only if there-^ are net earnings. So, we are at the point where,'to insure a progressively better railroad, every on'e ofLour_patrons must give thoughtful consideTatiorT^toT^he— financial problems faced by those of us who are working daily to help make the , Long Island .Rail Road a better railroad. We have faith in the future of Long Island and believe its residents have the faith, plus the good judgment, to be willing to pay enough for transportation so that this railroad can do a good job for the entire community.
