Excerpt from Twenty-Fourth Annual Report of the Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners of the State of Missouri: Year Ending June 30, 1899 Sir - As required by law, the Railroad and Warehouse Com missioners herewith submit their report for the year ending June 30, 1899, it being the Twenty-fourth annual report of the Commis sion. It seems impossible for the railroad companies operating in this State to comply with the law, requiring that annual state ments be filed with this Board, not later than September 1 of each year, the statements being for the year ending June 30 preceding. The Commissioners of other states as well as the Interstate Commerce Commission have the same difficulty as regards the prompt filing of annual statements by railroad companies. It is probably true that delays in this settlement of all transactions for the fiscal year, render it impossible for the returns to be made sooner than they are, and that they cannot be filed within the time specified by law. A majority of the more important companies file their state ments not later than November 1; some, however, do not forward statements until after December 1. Several companies of minor im portance are very remiss in this regard, and statements from them are obtained after repeated demands; some companies fail entirely to report.
