mileage operated under the first receivership is included in the total, it is probable that the aggregate of these increases largely offsets the duplications mentioned. It is, therefore, safe to assume that this total represents an approximate figure for the total mileage operated by receivers during the period between the years 1894 and 1918. The compilation is made from the data given annually in the "Statistics of Railways," 1894 to 1917. For 1918 various sources were used.
