R E T U R N S FROM H O R S E A N D
E L E C T R IC ROADS.
No subject bearing on the working of Btreet railways
is of greater moment or of wider concern than that
relating to the rate of return which can be realized
under the new system of traction. The change from
horse power to electricity (or to cable traction as the
esse may be) has been made, and an enormous amount
of new mileage has been provided, under the idea that
it would be very much easier to earn a high rate of
return in this way than by the old method. Are these
expectations being fulfilled? Much depends upon the
answer which experience shall give to this question.
Should the outcome prove unfavorable many contem­
plated schemes for further new lines will of course be
abandoned, while the profits of promoters in existing
undertakings will dwindle or disappear.
Where a
Urge mass of “ water” has been injected with the view
to securing such profits, the effort to vitalize it must
in that event fail. To the bona fide investor also the
question is of the utmost importance, for the standard
and character of such investments will be determined
by the result. Upon the outcome, too, must depend

to a great extent the attitude of the public and of State
legislatures towards these roads.
We pointed out in the earliest number of our S u p p l e ­
m en t that already views were being modified as regards
the great saving in operating co3t to be effected under
the new system of propulsion, and we quoted the re­
marks of a number of managers to the effect that ex­
penses had latterly increased very materially, where
plant and equipment were no longer entirely new and
hence were in need of more extensive repairs and renew­
als. The large numbers of letters we have received en­
dorsing these statements show that we have simply re­
lated an experience common to the whole body of
roads. How far the movement is likely to go cannot
of course be determined, but doubtless it will be well
to be prepared for a pretty general increase in operat­
ing co3t during the next two or three years. We need
hardly say that it by no means follows that such in­
crease will necessarily endanger the success of a road.
The future growth of traffic will play an important
part in the result. It is quite possible that this growth
will be sufficient to offset the increase inc tion^nse8.
The conditions governing in each case will alfitable conbe taken into account. Every road and sectiiflnf wages
country will have to stand by itself. It is easy to see,
for iustaQce, that a line in the Pennsylvania coal fields,
which can obtain its supply of fuel at $1 00 a ton,
might prove a paying venture even under a great in­
crease in operating cost, when a road situated else­
where and obliged to pay $3-00 a tou for its coal might
have difficulty in earning a satisfactory return. The
amount of fictitious capital in the securities outstand­
ing would also be an element in the problem.
There can be no doubt that in many respects the
cost of service has been very materially cheapened by
the substitution of electricity for horses. The ques­
tion is, how far the cheapening may be regarded as
permanent, and how far the saving in that way is offset
by other items and considerations affecting the return
from the operations of the roads. The importance of
the matter warrants a study of some of the statistics
available for this purpose. The Massachusetts roads
furnish special opportunity for such study. In the
first place, the change from horses to electric motive
power has been going on with great rapidity in that
State during the last five years, and in the second
place the statistics regarding the operations of the

GROSS AND NET

The difference between the first period of five years
and the second period of five years is here very
marked. Up to and including 1888 the mileage was
made up entirely of horse railroads, and in the four
ytare from 1885 to 1888 the ratio of expenses to earn
ings averaged each year above 80 per cent, and in 1887
was nearly S.'S per cent. In 1889, with 504 miles of
electric roads in operation, the ratio dropped to 78*40
per cent; after that, with the increase in the mileage
of the trolley lines, the percentage declined very de•idedly, and for 1893 aod 1894 it was respectively only
• **2»i per cent and 69*51 per cent. In other words,
in the interval between 1887 and 1894 the percentage
has been reduced from 82*81 to 69*51. Considering
that in the earlier year the cars were all operated by
horse power, and that in the later year the system of
traction for nearly nine-tenths the mileage of the
State was overhead trolley, this reduction in oper­
ating cost is very significant.
Evidence of a lower operating cost is also found in a
great r *** other items. Take the average net earnings
*'*"
road owned. In the five years from 1885 to
erage was respectively 12,933, $2,838, $2,341,
and $2,829; in the years from 1890 to 1894,
oqi ;o ho’ier hand, the averages were $3,435, $3,146,
°1 sartj Cf;L810 and $3,651. The increased net return
is tbscfxa p noteworthy that there has been no increase
in the gross earnings per mile in the same time, but on
the contrary a very decided decrease. This is due pre­
sumably to the fact that the new mileage added has a
much lighter traffic than the old mileage. At all
events, while in 1885 the gross earnings per mile were
$14,675 and in 1886 $14,200, in 1893 the amount was
only *12,392 and in 1894 but $11,972. The increase
in net result, then, has followed from a reduction in
the expense of operation per mile, and in that particu­
lar the change is very marked. In 1885, 1886 and
1h87 the operating expenses per mile were respectively
$11,742, $11,362 and $11,229 ; in 1892, 1893 and 1894
the same item shows $9,312, $8,582 and $8,321.
Indications of the saving resulting from the adop­
tion of the new system of motive power is seen also in
the expenses and net earnings per car mile. In the
gross earnings per car mile the average has fluctuated
considerably during the decade, but in the expenses of
running per car mile the tendency has during the last
few years oeen strongly downward.

An increase since 1885 of over 50 per cent in the net
earnings per ear mile and per passenger is conclusive
evidence of the superiority of the trolley lines over the
old horse-car linos. It also shows that the expecta­
tions o{ a very material saving in operating cost as the
result of the introduction of the new form of motive
power have not been disappointed. Doubtless great
stress will he laid on the fact that in the latest year the
net earnings both per car mile and per passenger fell
off slightly, while at the same time, as appears by the
figures further above, the ratio of expenses to earnings
increased a little, rising from 69*26 per cent to 69*51
per cent. The change will be taken as indicative of a
reversal of the tendency towards enhanced results which
has marked the period since the introduction of the
trolley lines.
We think it is as certain as an event of the future
can be that the trolley roads must look forward to an
increase in the amount of their annual expenses. This
view we base not O D ly on the experience of some lead­
ing roads and the remarks and statements of those who
have made a study of the subject, but also on the
known fact that expenses for repairs and renewals are
obviously smaller when plant and equipment are new
than when they have been in use for a number of years.
But whether this increase in the amount of the ex­
penditures will involve any great chaage in the aver­
ages is a question which only the future can deter­
mine. It is conceivable that the volume of traffic
(and consequently the earnings) might expand suffi­
ciently to offset the tendency of increased expenses to
raise the average cost. If our industries were in a
state of full activity, as they were before the develop­
ment of the 1893 panic, such an outcome would not
by any means be improbable. As it is, a somewhat

STREET

slower rate of growth than that which has recently
prevailed will doubtless have to be looked forward
to, making caution necessary on the part of the
managers in view of the certain increase in the cost of
repairs and renewals. But even should the average
operating cost rise to some extent, the difference be­
tween the present cost and that which obtained under
the old system is so great as to still leave a very appre­
ciable margin in favor of the trolley lines. In other
words, the new system must retain a considerable ad­
vantage over the old.
To say this, however, is not to argue that large or
inordinate profits can be looked for from the operation
of the electric roads. Quite the reverse. There is an­
other element that has to be taken into consideration,
namely the increased cost aDd capitalization under the
new system. The application of electricity makes
necessary an extersive plant and costly machinery,
equipping the cars alone with motors involving a heavy
outlay. And this is true whether an entirely new line
is built or an old line is converted from horse car trac­
tion to electric power. Hence if on the one hand the
operating cost is lower, on the other hand it is neces­
sary to earn a return on a greater investment. Still
another circumstance has tended to swell the eapital
account of the roads. Old horse car lines were in
many instances bought up by syndicates, who seeing
visions of large profits under a change to electricity
have capitalized the properties in excess of their legiti­
mate cost. The effect of all this in the case of the
Massachusetts roads is showa by the following table.

* Chiefly land and buildings.

Since 1888 it will be observed that the cost of per­
manent investments has increased from $33,695 per
mile to $53,632 per mile, and capital stock and debt
per mile from $32,304 to $52,963, thus revealing very
clearly the effects of the new conditions. The Massa­
chusetts Commissioners state that in some cases the
increase was the result largely of stock watering, but
they also state that in many other cases a considerable
increase was entirely legitimate as representing the
higher cost of new electric railways or the additional
cost of equipping with electric power original horse
lines. They regard the slight reduction the last year
in the average cost and capitalization par mile of rail­
way a hopeful sign, as indicating a change in the right
direction. Perhaps, however, the change does not
reflect so much the manifestation of a conservative
disposition as it does the reduction in the cost of
building a line, for it is well known that the cost of
equipping electric lines has been very greatly reduced
during the last two or three years.
It remains to apply the enlarged net earnings to the
increased capitalization in order to arrive at the cru­
cial test of the rate of return that can be earned.
This part of the story is very briefly told. It is com­
prised in the annexed statement, showing the percent­
age of cash dividends paid to capital stock.

There is here no indication of a large or an increased
rate of return, but rather the reverse, the per cent of
dividends paid in 1894 having been only 5'97, against
very much higher rates in most of the years preceding.
The highest dividend paid in 1894 was 1Q£ per cent
and that by only one company, while no less than 38
companies, new and old, paid no dividends at all.
But there is another matter that has a bearing on
the profitableness of the roads. It appears that not
only has the rate of return diminished, but there has
been a great shrinkage in the surplus account of the
properties. In 1886 the roads were carrying a surplus
of $1,369,335, equal to 15"01 per cent on their capital;
in 1894 the surplus had been reduced to $621,286, or
but 2*30 per cent on the capital. The figures for each
year in the decade are given in the following table.

On the whole the conclusion from this analysis is the
same as that at which the Massachusetts Board arrived
in 1893—that electric lines offer no greater opportuni­
ties for exorbitant and excessive returns than the old
horse lines, that much depends upon the special condi­
tions surrounding each particular line, that some will
be profitable while others will not, just as in the case
of the horse railway; and that in order to ensure
financial success it is necessary to keep the cost and
1capitalization within the lowest practicable limits.
These are important truths, and it is desirable that
they should be fully understood. The sooner they are
understood the better it will be for all concerned.
Much harm has resulted from the cultivation of the
opposite viow. For instance the strike of the employ­
ees of the trolley lines in Brooklyn last January was
based on the idea that the Long Island Traction Com­
pany, operating most of the lines, was a profitable con­
cern, and could therefore afford to pay the scale of wages
demanded. As a matter of fact, the Traction Company
was at the time practically bankrupt and has since had
to be reorganized. When the public mind has one?
been disabused of the notion that the trolley lines
possess some magic power that places them beyond the
pale of influences which control in all other industrial
enterprises, the semblance of justification which occur­
rences like these here enumerated seem to possess will
be entirely removed. At the same time those engaged
in attempts to float doubtful or speculative ventures
will find their task more difficult, while legitimate in­
vestors will be impressed with the need for closer
scrutiny of street railway securities, and through the
exercise of such scrutiny find the field safer and more

the summer is naturally the harvest time of the trolley
road, and this year the returning prosperity in general

• tn many cases

There is no probability that the cable will ever be replaced
with electric cars, at least so lorir as the electric system is
anything like it is at present. When there is sufficient traffic
to justify twelve cars to the mile of double track the cable
becomes the cheapest form of traction per ear mile run, and
electricity cannot compete with it. On the other hand, when
the traffic is not sufficient to justify more than four cars t o
the mile of double track, horses become the cheapest form of

the table indicates the activity of railway promoters,
which is just as great in other places as it is in Cleve­
land. AmoDg the inter-urban lines which are projected
ia various parts of the country some are meant to con
met places a considerable distance apart and with little
traffic-producing country between them. There is a
disposition, however, on the part of bankers to be cau­
tious about endorsing such enterprises, in view partly
of the Pennsylvania decision (see v. 00 p. 544) with re­
gard to inter-urban roads and partly because of the unct rta::ity in some cases as to whether the undertakings

The relative economy of cable and electricity is also
stated by Captain McCulloch of St. Louis, who esti­
mates that when a road earns $50 a day per mile of
single track it is more economical to operate by elec­
tricity, but when the amount reaches $100 a day the
cable is cheaper. Evidently there is still room for
difference of opinion in the premises.

C o n s o l id a t io n op S tr e e t R a i l w a y C o m p a n ie s .—

Consolidation under one management of the street­
car companies of a city, other things being equal, is an
excellent thing both for the shareholders of the com­
panies and for the public dependent upon the roads
for transportation. It permits the establishment of a
generous system of transfers, which the public always
welcomes, and which most street railway managers be­
lieve pays well. It also does away with the unnecessary
duplication of railway lines, which reduces net earn­
ings for the stockholders and injures the streets of a
city for general traffic. If the consolidation is made
on a reasonable basis it is much to be desired. When
we were going to press in May last the street railway
lines of Kansas City were being merged into the
Metropolitan Street Railway Company, a map of
whose system appears
in
this
Supplem ent.
The Harrisburg Traction Company was also being
formed to control the companies of Harrisburg,
Pa. Since then in Pennsylvania a law has been enacted
which makes more feasible than before the unit­
ing of street-car companies. This law permits the
issuance of bonds to an amount equal to the capital
stock, as contrasted with one-half that amount accord­
ing to the old law. Its adoption was followed almost
immediately by a proposition to unite the three leading
companies of Philadelphia by a new corporation, the
Union Traction Company. The consolidation of the
Central, Duquesne and Pittsburg Traction companies,
and possibly of other companies of Pittsburg, is pend­
ing, and the plan regarding it may be announced at
any time. Foreign capitalists are engaged in an effort
to secure control of the street railways in St. Louis,
and it is thought not unlikely that they will succeed,
although the companies, most of which are excellent
properties, are well appreciated by their owners, who
are therefore disposed to stand out for high prices.

a success that they had the conduit for the electric
current so made as to be available for a cable should
the other form of traction be a failure. An officer of
the company informs us that thus far the system has
worked to their satisfaction, and there is no proba­
bility of a change to cable. During the month of
July the Westinghouse Company had on exhibition in

This is the third of our series of Supplements. In using the series it is to be remembered that they are inter-dependent
publications, complete only as a whole. If utilized together, and with the fresh items of news the C h r o n ic l e 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 S t a t e a n d C i t y S u p p l e m e n t will be found necessary by those wishing to purchase the stocks and bonds of
street roads. Population, assessed valuation, tax rate, total debts of the counties, cities and minor municipalities are given at
laagth in that publication, every one of which items is an essential fact contributing more or less to any correct pgt.lma.tji of
the amount o f suburban travel a given road commands.
The A b b r e v ia t io n s U3ed in our Street Railway statements will be found explained in a table immediately following the

LONG ISLAN D TR A C T IO N —
O rganization .—Chartered under the laws of Virginia in March,
1893, in order to operate the B rooklyn City RR. Co., and in June,
1893, took possession of that property under a 999-year lease, guar­
anteeing 10 per cent dividends on $12,000,000 of stock. The lease is
nominally to the Brooklyn Heights RR. Co. but practically to the Long
Island Traction Co., since that company owns the entire capital stock
of the Brooklyn Heights Company and guaranteed payment of
dividends to lessor by special fund in hands of trustees. The original
amount was $4,000,000 but In July, 1894, $250,000 was used as per­
mitted by lease to pay Brooklyn City rental.
In January, 1894, the Long Island Traction acquired the enlire cap­
ital stock ($2,000,000) of the B rooklyn Queens County d Suburban RR.
RECEIVERSHIP—On March 20, 1895, Horace J. Morse was appointed
receiver, as owing to strike and other causes the company was em­
barrassed. See V. 60, p. 522.
R eorganization —Frederick P. Olcott, Roswell P. Flower, Anthony
N. Brady, George W. Young, John G. Jenkius, Marshall 8. Driggs and
Alfred J. Pouch, as a committee, on June 25,1895, issued a reorganiza­
tion plan (*ee V. 60, p. 1145), which in August, 1895, was being suc­
cessfully carried out. It provides for the formation under the laws of
New York of a new company entitled the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com­
pany, to assume the liahilitiesand acquire the assets of the Long Island
Trivction Company. The Rapid Trausit Company will create:
Capital stock $20,000,000, to be held in a voting trust for five years,
the trustees to be ex-Governor Flower, F. P. Olcott and A. N. Brady.
O f the new stock the old stock receives $15,000,000 and $2,250,000
as the bonus for the assessment, the collateral tTust note holders get
$1,406,250, or 75 percent, and holders of the flrst participation cer­
tificates get $167,000, or about 50 per cent, leaving in the treasury
$1,170,750 stock.

ORGANIZATION—Organized In 1892 to buy up and consolidate all the
roads on the Kentucky side of the riycr, opposite Cincinnati. There
were several. After the purchase was made It was found that if any of
these companies were changed they would lose tlieir perpetual

Co. operates these separately, and the stock of each company is depos­
ited with the Formers’ Loan A Trust Co. of New York as collateral for
the bonds of the C. N. & C. road. The roads so controlled are: New­

O rganization —Incorporated Aug. 21, 1883, and controls an exten­

are separately described below. It should be remembered that of these
outstanding securities the Philadelphia Traction owns some.
C onsolidation —U nion T raction —in August, 1895, the boards of

Traction companies all formally approved the plan for uniting their
interests. The Philadelphia Traction stockholders will hold a special
meeting of stockholders on September 26 to vote on the question of
leasing their system to the Union Traction Company. The plan
adopted provides that the property and franchises of the;Philadelphia
Traction Company shall be leased at a rental which will give each
stockholder a net dividend of $4 per annum on each share, payable in
gold coin, free of taxes, this rental being measured at 4 per cent upon
a valuation of $100 per share for each share of Philadelphia Traction
Company stock. Philadelphia Traction stockholders may subscribe for
new Union Traction 9tock to the amount of 77 per cent of their hold­
ings. See Y. 61, p. 197, and also “ Union Traction” Co., this S upple­

The terms and abbreviations employed in this Supplement are explained in the following :
“ STOCK & BONDS ”—Under these words are shown—
“ STOCK n—The amount of stock authorized immediately follows the word “ stock,” and against this is the par value of single shares, viz.,
,1. ifOAA AAA _>i1 Ilit ” moaiu
lSKllP fllvMlrtVl
hr />hivtor
hrr Qof nf lomclQtlll'rt fkOftn (inn
infn clini'Q." nf
AA t-nnil .
if not paid accumulating, all dividends due and unpaid to be paid in full for each and every year before the common stock receives anything.
“ Pref. 6 p. c. non-cum.” means simply that the stock is entitled to 6 per cent per annum if earned, but that if unearned in any year the dividend
for that year will not be paid subsequently.
o BONDS
“ Mort.” or “ M.” means mortgage. “ Consol.” or “ con. M.” means consolidated mortgage. “ Gen. M.” means general mort
gage. T he amount next following is the total authorized amount that can be issued under the mortgage." The word “ gold” is usually spelled
out but in some iustances is contracted to “ g,” while “ cur.” means currency.
“ Conv.” means convertible into stock. “ S. f.” means sinking fund, “ c.” means coupon; “ c.*” means coupon but may be registered as
to principal; and “ c.Nvr.” means that registered certificates without coupons as well as coupon bonds are outstanding. The letters “ p. m.’
mean per mile, so $15,000 p. m. means that the issue of bonds is restricted to $15,000 for each mile of track. “ Guar.” means guaranteed, and
guar. p. i. (end.) ” means guaranteed as to principal and interest, the guaranty being endorsed on each bond.
“ DATE ” —The date of issue on the face of the bonds is indicated under the word “ date.”
“ ROAD
The word “ track" means in Street Railway parlance all track, whether main line, siding, switch or second track. “ Rails are
80-lb. girder ” means that each rail weighs 80 pounds to the yard.
