Seventh-An amendment preventing trespassing on railroad rights of way.

The official statistics of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion show that 51 per cent of the persons killed on railroads were trespassers.

RAILROAD MAP

Since our last report we have received over two thousand requests for railroad maps. The commissions of other states have railroad maps of their states. This state has never had one. We recommend that an appropriation be made for one.

BIENNIAL REPORTS

Our supply of our last reports was exhausted within three months after their issue. We recommend that at least 1,500 copies be printed of this issue, as we have been flooded with requests for the same-parties even offering to pay for them—but we have been unable to supply them.

Commissioners.

JOHN W. FLINTHAM,

Assistant Secretary.

PREFACE

Statistics of railroads have been omitted, for the reason that the publication of these data entails considerable expense, and for the further reason that the Interstate Commerce Commis.... sion's annual report of "Statistics of Railways in the United States" contains complete information, facts, and figures on all railroads, which it is thought unnecessary to duplicate here.

All petitions, investigation, complaints, or other proceedings before the board, not fully disposed of on the 31st day of December, 1912, have not been mentioned in this report, but are carried over and will be included in. the report for 1913.

This book will be mailed to anyone, free, upon application to the Commission.
