RAILWAYS.
But guarding against such excess there is no doubt of
the profitable nature of the short-distance travel, and
we believe it may still be developed, and should be
systematically developed, in many ways, the import
ance of some of which the companies seem scarcely to
appreciate. We refer particularly to the training of
conductors. The conductor, to some extent like the
salesman at a counter, by little acts of civility or in
civility has it in his power either to win patronage or
to drive away customers for his employer. Judging
from our own observation the railway employees are
seldom sufficiently watchful of the company’ s interests.
How much might they not do to elicit public esteem
and regard by being alert to catch the signal of the
would-be passenger, to find seats if possible for those
standing, to help children and the infirm on or off, to
pronounce clearly the names of cross-streets so that all
could understand, and to be scrupulously polite to all.
S >me companies require their men to announce the
streets as each is crossed, but are the men also taught
to utter the names so that they shall be intelligible
to strangers? Tnese may seem trifles, but if we are
correct in our belief that a very appreciable part of
the short-distance business done by most street railway
companies now-a-days is in a sense the result of a popu
lar habit, and is really unnecessary, then certainly it is
open to gradual and permanent development by what
ever contributes to making the riding thoroughly satis
factory to the passenger.
The long-distance business on the other hand, while
profiting by all that aids short-distance travel, has of
course found its great stimulus in the short time and
small cost required to carry the passenger loDg dis
tances, and in the numerous and important extensions,
which as a consequence it has become worth while for
the companies to build. The increased returns from
this class of traffic, as compared with the indifferent
results on the horse roads, is truly astonishing, and
there are also other consequences arising fro m it that
should not be overlooked. Tne patrons of the street
railways in this instance comprise: (1) Those who
ride because of the saving of expense compared with
other means of conveyance, whether by carriage or
by steam railroad, (2) because of the suburban homes
which, with the advent of the trolley, they have been
led to establish, (3) because of the health and recreation
thus obtainable in warm weather, and (4) because o f the
new pleasure resorts opened and the old ones made allur
ing and accessible. Many now use the street cars who
formerly went by carriage or other conveyance, while
the efflux of people seeking homes in the suburbs is
such as to be viewed with some uneasiness by real
eBtate men, who fear the effect on city rents. Prom
both sources the increase of business is promising, if
properly encouraged with comfortable cars, a good
road bed and a reasonable schedule of trips carefully
run at regular intervals.
It is the “ outing" travel, however, that the people
have endorsed most enthusiastically. Pleasant places,
c imparatively remote and expensive to visit, have come
within the reach of all, and the street railway men have
not been slow to make ready highly attractive accom
modations for picnics and excursions. Old resorts
have been improved and new parks and watering places
are being opened, often directly by or in the interest
of the street railway companies, whose lines are being
extended to reach them. This feature of the enter
prise is of such importance that it is worth while to
produce here a portion of an advertisement regarding
a park on the line of a Lading traction company.

Many smaller companies can furnish similar bills
scarcely less glittering, and it is indeed surprising to
see the crowds that on every fair day in summer flock
to the spots so prepared. Wnen horse cars were in use
the are was usually higher, the resorts were fewer and
not so interesting, and a slow dusty ride each way was
a disagreeable part of the day’s outing. N ow the jo u r
ney is a pleasant feature, there is no lack of amuse
ments provided when the destination is reached; the
fare is commonly five cents. A nd the crowds ! T hoie
in transit to Coney Island for instance under the pres
ent regime of low fares are frequently overpowering in
numbers. How constantly we forget the fact which is
as constantly forced upon us that to be within the co m
mand of the bulk of the population what we offer
must be a marvel of cheapness. When it is that and
the people say they mast have it, how greatly the de
mand expands ! This willingness to dispense with what
would seem necessaries of life in order to procure
articles of luxury and means of enjoyment is often re
marked. There is also the further incentive and ex
cuse that the outing may mean health as well as com
fort and pleasure. It has been said that the Americans
do not know how to enjoy a holiday as do the people
of some other nations. This, if true, is we believe
being remedied by the trolley, which opens the way to
healthful and inexpensive recreation.
A n important advantage gained by the companies
from the outing business is to be seen in the influence
it has toward popularizing the trolley for distances
short as well as long. We of the great cities, where
much riding is unavoidable, scarcely realize the change
of sentiment among careful people of the smaller places
in favor of the street car. Then, too, visits to the
country are likely to foster the desire for suburban
homes and the consequent opportunity to the street
railway of carrying the owner daily between his home
and his place of business. Furthermore the opening of
a park at the end of a new line may be an efficient
means of rendering the new line self supporting, if
nothing more, until the time when the natural course
of building along its whole extent shall bring to the
company a satisfactory revenue from ordinary travel.
These considerations meet the objection which some
feel to subjecting their equipment to the severe strain
of excursion business. In all the long-distance business
there are recognized two sources of danger against which
even the wisest management is not altogether safe at
the present time— one is that of building unprofitable
extensions, the other is of carrying the passengers too
far for one fare. Presently experience will have taught
us much on both points, but iu the meantime it does
seem as if we were in danger of going to an extreme in
STREET RAILWAYS.
the way of cheap fares, for it mast be remembered the
best o f equipment will wear out. A t the same time
enterprise and the desire to hold new territory may
lead to a serious drain on a company’ s resources if
caution does not prevail in the matter of building.
Mechanical traction of other forms as well as the
trolley ha3 opened the doors to much new business,
but the fullest reward we are sure is coming to those
companies which, avoiding the dangers of too many
cars, too long rides for one fare, and unprofitable
extensions, go steadily at the work, slow in some com
munities, of popularizing the use o f street cars.
Therein lies, it appears, much of the real value from
special cars for theatre parties and trolley rides and
from the excursion business. The educating process
is making progress, more or less satisfactory, on nearly
every side. How much accelerated it will be when
thoroughly prosperous times succeed the present days
of enforced economies is a matter for pleasant conjee
tn re,

OTHER STREET RAILWAY TOPICS.
D evelopment of T r a v e l i n a N ew E n gla nd
C i t y . — As good an example as one could wish of traffic
development is before us in the case of the city o f
New Haven, Conn. In many respects New Haven has
always possessed decided advantages for street railway
operations. It covers a large area, with numerous out
lying villages, and has adjacent to it many pleasant
places for picnic excursions, such as beaches on the
Sound, lakes for boating and skating, wooded parks
and eminences. It also possesses daring much of the
year a student population. And yet only six years ago,
the street cars being still hauled by horses, the people
used them not at all freely. There was some outing busi
ness done, though comparatively little for a city of
86,000 inhabitants. A few persons in the summer
would visit Lake Whitney, but Savin Rock-on-theSound, a place which was reached by street car only after
a tedious, dusty journey nearly au hour in length, was
really the only very popular resort.
Now all this is changed. The 26 miles of track have
increased to over 70, Handsome street cars fly in
every direction. Lake Sal tons tall, six miles away,
Morris Cove and Lighthouse Point-on-the-Sound, etc.,
are favorite places of recreation, and constantly in the
summer one sees "trolley parties" and well-filled cars.
In short the street car linos have become an insepar
able part of the city life. As in many of the N ew
England oities the spirit of thrift and economy which
said ' ‘saved the nickle,” while the horse car crawled
drearily along, shows itself not niggardly in riding
when a fair equivalent of com fort and rapid transit is
given in return.
The table below indicates the change wrought in
five years, the companies using in 1890 only horse
power, to-day only overhead trolley;

The total passengers carried have jumped from 5£ to
lLJ millions and the aggregate gross earnings from
1279,437 to $694,922. If we take the population in
1895 as 100,000, contrastieg with 85,981 in 1890, we
shall find that the number of rides paid for (therefore
not counting children under four years of age) aver
ages in 1890 only 61, while in 1S95 it wa3 no less than
146. T o a large extent this increased travel is really
new travel, the street cars having drawn much less
from the steam roads than they have in many
places.
The work of teaching and tempting the
people to nse the street cars has been fruitful in a
remarkable degree. But who would venture to say
to what extent the appetite so excited may not still be
stimulated ?
D evelopment in other Cit ie s .— The increase of
140 per cent in the amount of riding done in New
Haven has its parallel in some other cities, but is won
derfully
in
advance of that shown by many
larger cities, if we make allowance for the difference
in population— the number of rides per capita, be it re
membered, usually increasing the larger the place. In
Hartford, Conn., and Springfield, Mass., the number
ha3 risen approximately from 66 to 154 and from 81
to 163 respectively, which, especially considering their
smaller population, is even better than New Haven’s
record.
In all these cases, we should explain, the
entire passenger traffic of the lines running into the
city, though lying partly outside (it being impossible
to separate the two) is compared with the population
of tho city proper as known or estimated for the years
1890 and 1895 respectively. Manifestly the distance
traversed outside the city by the lines as of late ex
tended aud the number, size and proximity of the
villages touched are potent elements in producing the
results attained in 1895.
Indeed, as between cities of the size of those m en
tioned, these elements rob the comparison of much of
its significance, and we only refer to it to bring out the
contrast between these active, densely populated por
tions of New England and certain other localities.
Thus Rochester has a population 50 per cent in excess
of that of New Haven, but the street car traveling of
its inhabitants has increased in the five years only from
82 to 104 per capita. Albany has a population prac
tically the same as that of New Haven, but its in
crease in riding has been only from 53 to 90. Taking
larger cities, the traveling by street car3 in BufEalo has
increased from 63 to 138; but then Buffalo has a popu
lation of say 325,000, which would naturally entitle it
to a greater rate than that in New Haven for instance.
The per capita number of rides in Baltimore we calcu
late at only 130, as against 92 in 1890, and this for a
city which in 1890 had a population of 434,439, and
in 1895 probably reached 490,000.
We shall go into this subject more deeply at another
time, but what we have said suffices to show that the
advancement in street railway business due to mechani
cal traction and the enterprising management which
accompanied it has been much more marked in some
localities than it has in others, and that it behooves
those interested to investigate well the reasons. T o
confine ourselves to one point only, we may refer to the
effect which we have seen produced by a liberal policy
in the neighboring city of Brooklyn. Until within a
few months on the lines of the Brooklyn City R R . no
transfers (or practically none) were given, and if one
rode up the steep hill from Wall Street Perry to the City
6
STREET
RAILWAYS.
Hall, a distance of half a mile, wishing to go to any
point beyond, two fares were exacted. The policy was
narrow, and the people resented it, traveling by other
routes when possible.
Since ex-Governor Flower’ s
syndicate obtained control and the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company was formed, modern methods have
been introduced, a very liberal system of transfers has
been established, trolley cars for theatre parties and a
newspaper in the company’ s interest have served to aid
in creating a favorable impression, and the result is
shown in the largely increased earnings. The popular
prejudice against the company has been removed.
The circumstances that surround the companies are
often so vastly different that no general rule as to the
amount of business they should do will apply to all
cases, except this, that to secure for a street railway the
maximum amount of popular patronage requires, we
are sure, as much careful study and as much enter
prise as to make a great success of any form of business.
R a t e s of F a k e s . — On the subject of traffic develop
ment, the question of fares is a live one. We therefore
note with interest the decision of three companies as to
selling tickets at cheap rates.
The Citizens’ Street Railway of Detroit, operating
ninety-five miles of track, has been selling eight tickets
for twenty-five cents for over six months past. The
company has now determined to restore the rate to six
tickets for that price. The lower rate, it was proved,
did not pay.
The Consolidated Street Railway of Grand Rapids
also experimented for three months with tickets, in the
hope of stimulating business. Grand Rapids being a
city of only about 90,000, contrasting with 250,000 in
Detroit, no such extraordinarily low rate as that tried
by the Detroit company was introduced, but six tickets
were sold for 25 cents. The result was altogether un
satisfactory, and in July last the original straight fivecent fare was restored. A Grand Rapids paper says
that it is not thought that the restoration of old rates
will affect the general public to any great extent, as
reports indicate that not more than twenty per cent of
the regular street-car patrons purchase tickets. The
same paper a d d s:
A matter that has been under consideration for some time,
and that will be brought up at the next meeting of the
directors, is the placiog on sale of workingmen’s tickets at a
low rate, good during the morning and evening hours, when
the laboring classes are going to and from work. No decision
has been reached, but Manager Johnson is strongly in favor
of the adoption of the plan.
The third case, that of the Savannah Electric Rail
way, a bankrupt property, is of less significance. A
lamentable rate war has been waged for many months
with a rival company, passengers at one time being
carried for a cent a ride. More recently the rate for a
single fare has been five cents, but eight tickets have
been sold for a quarter of a dollar. The rate has now
been reduced uniformly to three cents, not because the
company is making money under the receiver, but, as
it is understood, because of a trick on the part of the
conductors, who when they received a five-cent fare
gave the company three cents for a ticket and kept
two cents themselves. A three-cent fare in the smaller
cities we believe to be of most doubtful expediency,
and in a city of the size of Savannah it seems likely to
prove ruinous.
Below we speak of a new law in Ohio respecting the
regulation of fares in case of consolidation. It is in
teresting to note in connection with this that acting
under the new statute the Board of Aldermen in Oin-
cinnati has secured an elaborate system of transfers,
but hasjdeclined to insist on lower fares.
The American people, in our opinion, demand highgrade cars and many of them, a liberal system o f
transfers, intelligent motormen able to reduce the
number of accidents to a minimum, and civil, welldressed conductors. The lady said of her maid, “ Y ou
cannot expect all the virtues for twelve dollars a
month;” so we may say our cities cannot expect every
convenience and low fares as well.
N e w . L a w i n O h i o . — A t the last session of the
Ohio Legislature was passed an act that is rightly
looked upon as of much importance in its bearing upon
the street railway interests o f the State. Its effect is
thus succinctly stated by a man prominent in street
railway circles: “ It takes the car companies out of
politics; saves excessive legal expenses every year, co n
nected with the constant defense of the companies’
rights against the city councils; fixes a definite period
when questions as to fares, etc., can come up during
fifty years; requires changes to be equitable, and pro
vides a method o f adjudication in the courts in cases
where the companies think themselves injured, and,
finally, provides a method of gaining a fifty-year fran
chise in Ohio.” W hile the act reserves to the cities
certain rights as to fixing fares, these rights* it should
be observed, can be exercised as regards the companies
coming within the act only at certain intervals, subject
to adjudication by the courts in case of dispute.
The first portion of the act grants authority for con
necting street railways to consolidate by sale or lease on
vote of two-thirds the stock of each company, un
assenting stockholders who file written notice within
ninety days to be entitled to receive compensation as
provided in the Revised Statutes of the State. The
act then continues that in any case of consolidation
the board of administration in any city of the first
grade and the council or other legislative board of any
other municipality shall have the power, on certain con
ditions, to agree that the terms under which the con
solidating companies are operated shall remain un
changed after consolidation, or in lieu of this to extend
the unexpired term of such existing grant or franchise
for a period which, including the term unexpired, shall
not exceed fifty years.
These provisions were in
tended to facilitate consolidations such as are pending
or have been recently completed in Cincinnati, Cleve
land and Toledo, and they are on the express provision
that on the consolidated lines but one fare shall be col
lected from each passenger and a satisfactory transfer
system shall be maintained. Consolidation of street
railway interests on conditions of this kind are evi
dently for the advantage of all concerned.
Then still other safe guards for both the companies and
the municipalities are added, securing to the municip
ality satisfactory rates, transfer privileges, etc., in the
words following :
Provided the company so acquiring control and ownership
of said roads will agree to such changes and modifications in
the existing terms and conditions of said grants or franchises,
including motive power, extensions, * * * * *
rates of
fare and transfers as will make the terms and conditions
applicable to all said roads or lines satisfactory to said board
of administration or legislative body; and provided, further,
that no increase of fare shall be allowed in any case and no
decrease shall be allowed in any case of car license fees or
percentage tax on gross earnings now required to be paid.
Then comes the following, which limits the times
for reconsidering fares, licenses, etc., to the end of the
first twenty years and of each fifteen years thereafter,

for
the
year
1895 as follows:
that the Traction Company is not so com pletely satis
fled that it is disposed to leave off experimenting with
still other modes of propulsion. The latest report
indeed is that compressed air cars will be given a
chance to show what they can do. This style of cars
has begun service on the Boulevard line of the Third
Avenue road, the first trial being reported satisfactory,
as was stated in the C hron icle of Aug. 1, page 190.
A Washington company is also to try compressed air.
It is suggested that in Hew Y ork cars of this kind
could be profitably employed at night when the travel
is slack on the cable and underground trolley lines. It is
also claimed that such defects as have been found in
the underground trolley are in a fair way to be removed.
In Chicago a new surface line, thirteen miles in
length, is being constructed by the Englewood & Onicago Railway Company, largely, it is understood, in

“ It will thns be seen that the cost of traction by gas
is much les3 than by any other known mode of trac
tion.” A contract, it is reported, has recently been
entered into with the Blackpool St. Anne’ s & Lytham
Tramway Company for the supply of gas cars.
The last cable car on the F ifth Avenue line in Pitts
burg was run Aug, 23. This cable line was the first of
the kind in Pittsburg, and now after having been in
operation seven years and eleven months it gives place
to the trolley. Pittsburg thus follows the example of
Philadelphia and Baltimore.
Whether in the face of the present eager search for
an improved system the trolley can hold its own in
all departments of street railway service is an interest
ing question which should soon be answered.

SECURITIES AND REPORTS.
This is one of our four Supplements,
In using the series it is to be remembered that they are inter-dependent
publications, complete only as a whole. I f utilized together, and with the fresh items of news the C hronicle contains from
week to week, the investor will have all the information he needs in seeking a safe and remunerative lodgment for his money.
Street Railways forcibly illustrate this inter-dependence. Such roads obviously rely for their income, and therefore in
great part for the value of their securities, upon the population and wealth of the country they serve. Hence constant
reference to our State and City S upplement will be found necessary by those wishing to purchase the stocks and bonds of
treet roads. Population, assessed valuation, tax rate, total debts of the counties, cities and minor municipalities are given at
length in that publication, every one of which items is an essential fact contributing more or less to any correct estimate of
the amount of suburban travel a given road commands.
The A bbreviations used in our Street Railway statements will be found explained in a table immediately following the
last statement in this Supplement.
A full I ndex which shows where each railroad will be found is also given on the closing pages.

All bonds are for $1,000 each, and interest is payable at Farmers
Loan & Trust Company, New York.
Capital stock-T h e capital stock is $20,000,000, of which $17,000,000 is common stock and $3,000,000 is 7 per cent cumulative pre
ferred stock on which interest is payable quarterly. All dividends on
preferred to and including July 1,1896 (1% per cent), have been paid.
For the preferred stock it is provided that if in any year dividends
amounting to 7 per cent are not paid on said stock, the deficiency
shall be a charge upon the net earnings of the company, and shall
be paid subsequently before any dividend shall be paid upon or
set apart for the common stock. In case of liquidation or dissolution
of the company the holders of the preferred stock shall have prior
right on the assets of the oompany before any amounts shall be pay
able to the holders of the common stock.
On May 1,1896, there had been issuod and sold $1,135,200 of the
preferred stook and $15,010,000 of the common stock, and there re
mained as a balance in the company’s treasury $1,864,800 of 7 per
oent cumulative preferred stock and $1,990,000 of the common stock
to be issued. See full description of property in application to the
New York Stock Exchange in June, 1895.—V. 60, p. 1148.
Roads.—The Minneapolis Street Railway Co. jointly and severally
with the Minneapolis Lyndale & Minnetonka Railway Co. has issued
$5,000,000 5 per cent 30-year first mortgage and first consolidated
mortgage gold bonds, of which $940,000 are held in trust by the Farm
ers’ Loan <fcTrust Company to redeem the $940,000 prior lien bonds. See
statement to N. Y. Stock Exchange in June, 1895. The consols are
also listed in London.—V. 60, p. 1149.
The St. Paul City Railway Company has issued $4,298,000 5 per cent
50-year cable consolidated bonds (including $680,000 held by the
Farmers’ Loan & Trust Company, trustee, to redeem the $680,000 prior
lien bonds above) under a mortgage limited to $5,500,000. Under
the mortgage these bonds can only be issued against the aotual cash
oost of construction, under a mileage limit of $15,000 per mile. Part
of these consols ($1,138,000 on June 11,1895), are guaranteed, principal
and interest, by endorsement of Twin City R. T. Co. See statement
to X. Y Stock Exchange in June, 1895.—V. 60, p, 1150.
The certificates of indebtedness (notes) were issued to the Twin City
Company by the Minneapolis Street Railway and St. Paul City Rail
way, and having been guaranteed by it were issued. Original issue by
each company, $1,000,000; outstanding, $750,000 each, or $1,500,000
in all, of which $270,000 purchased by the Twin City Company are held
In Its treasury.
Road—The entire system now consists of 225 miles of standard-gauge
road, of which 219 miles is eleetrle and 6 miles cable, all of which has been
recently built, or rebuilt, and thoroughly equipped. A double-track elec
tric line, 9 miles long, connects the business centres of the two cities.
G eneral Finances—Early in 1895 the Twin City Company created an
issue of $3,000,000 preferred stock (see capital stock above), with the
proceeds of which it has liquidated all its floating debt, including
mortgage notes, oxcept $1,500,000 of the 6 per cent certificates not
yet duo, and of this amount the company has anticipated by purchase
$270,000, which it holds in the treasury. On Aug. 1, 1896, there was
yet available the proceeds of the balance of the 7 per cent preferred
stock ($1,864,600), which will liquidate the entire balance of the 6 per
cent certificates ($1,500,000), leaving a balance of $364,600 plus the
$270,000 now in the treasury of the company, or $634,600 available
cash in the company’s treasury. The payment of the balance of the
6 per cent certificates will eliminate all indebtedness of the underlying
companies except the $10,298,000 of bonds. By the completion of this
transaction the company will have reduced its interest charges to
$544,700 per annum.

METROPOLITAN STREET R A IL W A Y ORGANIZATION—Chartered in 1893, and became the operating com
pany of the Metropolitan Traction System, it having absorbed or taken
over the leases of all the other roads completed and in operation. In
Nov., 1893, absorbed the Houston West St. & Pavonia Ferry, Broadway
Surface and South Ferry roads. In May, 1894, consolidated with
Metropolitan Crosstown and Lexington Avenue & Pavonia Ferry com
panies, and in November, 1895, with the Columbus & Ninth Avenue
oable road. The Lexington Avenue & Pavonia Ferry line was started
with cable in October, 1895, and the Columbus & Ninth Avenue line
was partly opened in December, 1894, the cars of both running over
Broadway direct to the Battery. The increase of traffic due to the
opening of these new lines has been very large, exceeding all expecta
tions. Leased the Eighth Avenue Railroad for 99 years from Jan. 1,
1896, at rental of $215,000 per annum, payable quarterly, the lessee
guaranteeing to spend $1,000,000 within two years for improvements,
change of motive power, etc.; betterments to revert to lessor at expira
tion of lease; lessee pays taxes.—V. 62, p. 40. Leased the City Line
of the N. Y. & Harlem RR. Co. for 900 years from July 1,1896, at a
rental of $350,000 for first five years and $400,000 thereafter. The
34th Street line was opened Jan. 10,1895. The stock of the Metro
politan Street Railway is all owned by the Metropolitan Traction.
