The idea of municipal ownership of street railway
enterprises does not appear to be making much prog
ress in this conn try. Indeed, study and examination
are developing a concensus of opinion against the
proposition.
There have been several important
inquiries into the subject in recent years, and the
result has been the same in every case— that is, adverse
to the contention of those who would burden munici
pal government with this new function.
1
Not *o very long ago, m may perhaps be remembered,
a committee of the New York Legislature made a
very exhaustive investigation, hearing many expert
witnesses and taking a large amount of testimony,
The conclusions of this committee were reported in
the C hkojciole of February IS 1896, page 297. They
“ unhesitatingly ** disapproved of the idea of munici
palities owning and operating street railways. There
might be, they thought, circumstances under which it
wonld be feasible, practicable and economical for the
city to construct and own the road-bed itself, and per
mit its operation by a private enterprise, under the
direction and control of the city, but even that time
they believed was not yet at hand.
More recently, a special committee in Massachusetts
(appointed in accordance with a law passed in June of
last year) has also been studying the problem. The
committee was a very able one. consisting of Charles

MAY

Congress Washington, 1), C.I
1898
Francis Adams, William W. Orapo and Elihu B.
Hayes, and their opinion consequently commands
great respect. The committee's report was sub
mitted last February, and we discussed it at
length in the C i i b o k i c l b of February 19, pages
364 and 365.
Along with a series of appendixes
giving instructive information as to street railway
affairs in other States and countries, the report has
now been issued in printed form, and constitutes a
book of nearly three hundred pages, which will long
remain useful for reference on the matters to which it
relates. As we have so lately outlined the nature and
scope of the Committee's suggestions (their study not
having been confined to the question of municipal
ownership, but having embraced the whole subject
of the relations between street railways and municipali
ties), we shall not undertake to go over the same ground
here, but shall simply note again their conclusions
on that branch of the inquiry which we arc consider
ing to-day.
A fter noting that in Great Britain the tendcucy
towards municipal ownership is very pronounced,
they state that experience thus far has failed to
reveal any special merit in the system. They point
out that no attempt has yet boon made in any country
on a sufficiently large enough scale and for a long
enough time to be of any real significance. Glasgow
and Leeds uro the two European instances most- fre
quently referred to. From t he statements often met
with in the press it might well be assumed, they
argue, that the experiments made in these cities
amounted to an indisputable, and established suc
cess, whereas such is in no degree the ease.
On the contrary, “ nowhere as yet has the experiment
of municipalization of street railways been worked out
to any logical and ultimate results whatever, nor can
it be so worked ont for at least a score of years to
come. Even then political habits, social traditions,
and material and economical conditions vary so greatly,
and enter to so large an extent into the problem, that
it will not be safe to infer that what may have proved
safe and practicable in one community is either prac
ticable or safe in another. A t the present time the
municipalization of the street railways is not accepted
as by any means indisputably desirable in Great Brit
ain, while in Germany it is regarded unfavorably.”
4
STREET
RAILW AYS,
The views and opinions of private parties who have
examined specially into the problem accord entirely
with the foregoing conclusions from official sources.
Among these independent researches, that undertaken
by Mr. Robert P. Porter, ex-Superintendent of the
Census, takes front rank. Mr. Porter has made a
most thorough-going analysis of the results of the ex
periments tried in Great Britain, going over the
official reports and documents with unusual care, and
setting out many facts not generally known in this
country with regard to the operation and acqusition
of these enterprises and their past history, all of which
are necessary to an intelligent and correct judgment in
the premises.
Mr. Porter shows how much more
extensive street railway mileage and street rail
way travel is in the leading cities of the
United States than in those of Great Britain,
on account of which fact it is almost impossible to
make any comparisons between the two countries.
H e says that in no other country can be found any
thing equal to these American enterprises; and
although the investment of $1,400,000,000 which they
represent may look large, the assurance of expansion
in population and revenues makes their prospects en
tirely satisfactory. To assume for one instant that the
same results could have been attained in any other
manner is, he asserts, to ignore the facts within the
reach of every American citizen.
Speaking with reference to Glasgow, where the ex
periment in municipal ownership is commonly assumed
to have been an unqualified success, he demonstrates
that statements to that effect are subject to many
qualifications.
H e says that the real facts about
Glasgow, while indicating that the city has shown
commendable enterprise in dealing with a difficult
situation unexpectedly thrust upon it, are not of
the slightest value to the United States, either as
illustrating street railway enterprise or sagacity, or
the ability of a municipality to operate such under
takings. On the contrary he thinks the study of
Glasgow’s management of its tramways furnishes one
of the clearest exemplifications on record of the inca
pacity of a city to deal as thoroughly with such under
takings as private enterprises. Going back to 1872,
when the lines (which were laid by the city and at the
expense of the city) were leased to the Glasgow Tram
way & Omnibus Company, he finds that the total capi
tal expenditure of municipal money on these lines
from 1872 down to July 1 1894, when the city in
stalled its own plant, was $1,678,776 63. But of this
amount the company repaid the city (this being of
course independent of all other payments made by the
company) during its twenty-three years’ lease $980,454 09, enabling the city to enter into possession of a
property which cost $1,678,776 at a nominal cost of
$698,322. This fact, that the city acquired the prop
erty for about one-third its actual cost, Mr. Porter
points out, is entirely ignored in all the calculations,
and left out of the official reports. Y e t despite this
advantage at the start there is nothing specially to
boast of in the situation at the present time. As against
a capital account of $698,322 July 1 1894, the same
item May 31 1897 stood at $3,065,741, showing that
in the interval 2-J million dollars had been spent by
the city. Practically the whole of this, too, was spent
for equipment— horses, cars, &c.,— as the track mileage
increased only from 31 miles 3 furlongs double track to
32 miles 2 furlongs. Now after this expenditure of money,
the city is confronted with the fact that there will in
all probability have to be, Mr. Porter says, an
entire change of motive power and equipment in
the near future— from horse to mechanical tra c
tion.
N or does Mr. Porter find the revenues of the system
yielding such glowing results as current reports
would lead one to suppose was the case ; but this part
of his argument is quite lengthy, and it would take
more space than we have at our command to atattempt to give it. Wages, we need hardly say, are
shown to be but about one-half what they are in this
country. Much is made of the fact that, fares being
graded, it is possible to ride in some instances for as,
low as a half-penny— this being the charge for half a
mile. But Mr. Porter fails to see any advantage in
this. He says : “ As a matter of fact one can walk half
a mile about as quickly as he can wait for these horse
trams, which jog along slowly and pull up at each
corner. The moment, however, he reaches four miles,
or a distance that will take a man from the crowded
city to the suburbs, where houses are more plentiful,
air better and rents cheaper, the price goes up to two
pence half-penny, or five cents.”
Hence Mr. Porter
makes the declaration that the facts in the Glas
gow case warrant the conclusion that a wide-awake
American street car company could have leased the
Glasgow tracks when the city took them over, in
stalled a modern system, extended the tracks, and with
the Glasgow wages just half those paid at home, car
ried passengers as cheap, if not more cheaply, than
Glasgow is carrying them to-day. It could, further
more, have assumed all the risk, and paid the city more
money per annum, with profit for mileage and
“ Common Good” , than it will get by operating the
cars itself.
Mr. Porter has also examined the other experi
ments in municipal ownership in Great Britain,
taking the cities up one after another, and finding in
each case some qualifying circumstances affecting
either the present or the future. H e points out, too,
that not only are the statements of success and profits
attending municipal experiments in the operation
of street railway enterprises greatly exaggerated,
but municipal ownership has not
made any
thing like the headway in the United Kingdom
which we in this country are led to believe.
Of upward of one thousand miles of municipal tram
ways in the United K in gd >m in 1896, the returns in
dicate that a total of less than 100 miles was owned
and operated by the municipalities. The truth there
fore is that in Great Britain they are working out a
comparatively small problem when compared with the
16,000 miles of street railways in the United States.
England up to date, he says, has $75,000,000 invested
in street railways; the United States $1,400,000,000.
Such comparisons of course serve to indicate the ex
tent of some of the differences between the two coun
tries as regards the street railway problem.
D IS H O N E S T
C O N D UO ' ORS.
Of the numerous problems that confront street rail
way managers, few are more troublesome than the
question how to prevent dishonesty on the part of
conductors.
The serious effects on a company’s in
come of the small leaks through which five-eent fares
disappear are well recognized; and when, as in
Albany not long ago, a systematic plan for cheating a
company is found to have been practiced by a number
STREET
of conductors in collusion, we realize how consider
able a sum the losses may aggregate. In this case it
was estimated, if the press reports are correct, at
towards $30,000.
The large moneyed institutions of the country
f r e q u e n t l y pursue the policy, as we all know, of paying
liberal salaries, in order to remove as far as possible
from their employes the temptation to steal.
Y et
even such institutions cannot secure absolute im
munity from theft. Small wonder is it, then, that
the street railway companies, whose funds must pass
through the hands of men o f much less standing in
the community, and receiving at the best far less pay,
should suffer from dishonesty. Indeed, were it possi
ble to secure as conductors only men reputed to be
strictly honest, it may be questioned whether a con
siderable percentage of them would not eventually be
afflicted with more or less moral aberration, rendering
them incapable o f distinguishing clearly between
“ mine and thine.”
This observation is not mainly the outcome o f a lack
of faith in the class from which street railway con
ductors are obtained.
It is based rather on the
existence of a misconception in the minds o f many
persons as to what the relation of a corporation,
particularly a transportation corporation, to society at
large really is, or at ail events should be. Constantly
we hear talk about “ soulless" corporations which
“ oppress" the people.
Much of it is undoubt
edly political clap-trap, but it strengthens the
popular misconception none the less. Our legisla
tors, too, in solemn conclave assembled often seem to
proceed on the belief that corporations are “ fair
game.” Even in the higher grades of society there
are not entirely wanting those who take a certain
pleasure in contriving to cheat a street railway com
pany bv riding, if they can, without paying their fare.
Allow moderate intelligence to apply the principles
taught by legislator and politician, to say nothing o f
the example o f fare dodging passengers, and a certain
justification for pilfering conductors follows almost
a* a matter of course.
Such being the case, it becomes of the highest im
portance to devise an effective method for making
thefts without discovery an impossibility. T o this
end are introduced bell punches and clock dial regis
ters, with the expensive system of inspectors to visit
the cars at unexpected moments for the purpose of
detecting omissions to register fares collected. All
these common devices have the same defect— namely,
that unless the number of inspectors is extremely large
the i ompany must rely to some extent on the passen
gers to see that the payment of fares is recorded. 1’ nfortnnately for the companies, this reliance runs
counter to the American dislike for meddling with
other people’s business : besides, to follow up and give
information on such a matter would be imp acticable
for the business m an; so that if apparent dis
crepancies are discovered the suspicion can seldom
he otherwise treated than allowed to .pass un
noticed.
Knowing the difficulties with which companies at
home were contending in this respect, we watched on
one occasion with peculiar interest and with an amus
ing result the system o f paper checks, or receipts, em
ployed in Great Britain; our readers are doubtless
acquainted with the general features of this system.
On paying his fare, one receives a small slip of paper,
bearing on one side usually an advertisement, and on
RAILW AYS
5
the other side the name of the street railway, or
omnibus company issuing the same; also a number,
the receipts being numbered consecutively. If, as is
usually true, the fare varies according to the distance
traveled, ranging from one penny up to three, four
or even six pence, then different colored receipts are
sometimes used, to represent the several rates of fares;
or, as in going from Warwick to Leamington, one
receipt is given for every penny paid. In this latter
case, on a single trip over the line just mentioned a
party of three became possessed of no less than nine
receipts.
Having received his receipt, the passenger is ex
pected to keep it in readiness to show in case an in
spector should board the car. The inspector we never
saw ; but as a protection against disputes with the con
ductor as to whether or not one has paid his fare,
the receipt serves a very good end. So far as the
company is concerned the receipts apparently work in
this way : Being numbered consecutively, and every
passenger receiving one— for lie will naturally demand
it as a receipt for his money if it is not voluntarily
forthcoming— the number o f them issued during a
trip should in every case correspond with the number
of fares received. Moreover, the company's inspectors,
from time to time, by examining the receipts held by
the occupants of a car, can thus determine accurately
whether all the fares have been properly collected.
As a further precaution, the conductors of some lines
are required to perforate with a punch the tickets
issued in receipt of fares, the punch, we suppose, re
cording the number of times it is used. In one case
the receipts were of thin paper in one long strip, car
ried on a reel, from which they were unwound and
torn off as needed; in other cases thoy were in the
shape of small cardboard tickets. In any event,
they are intended to indicate the number of fares
collected
In one of the cathedral towns we witnessed a way in
which English conductors sometimes succeed in cir
cumventing their employers. The conductor was a lad
of probably sixteen years— scarcely more. His pay,
like that of conductors on other Englisii railways, we
may safely assume did not exceed eight shillings— less
than two dollars— per week, or about 32 cents u day.
N o wonder then that when four Americans, the only
passengers, paid him six cents apiece (three pence) for
a ride to the end of the line, whence returning they
should pay him a like amount in addition, or 18 cents
(one and a-half days pay) in all, no wonder, we say,
that if naturally dishonest. lie should be tempted to
take advantage of our supposed ignorance of English
methods and appropriate the money. This last lnendeavored to do, but to his discomfiture, for, as it
happened, we were making street railway methods a
study. The tickets given us were soiled and crumpled
and bore all sorts of numbers. The little knave had
collected them from among the refuse on the car floor,
where they had been dropped during the day by care
less passengers, and was seeking to pass them off in lieu
of the fresh tickets numbered consecutively to which
we were entitled.
In this country there is not the same reason for this
ticket system that exists in England, where with the
varying rates of fare charged the dial register would
be scarcely practicable. It may be questioned, also,
whether our people would care to be burdened with
the tickets, though they would act as receipts for their
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 activity o f the country they serve. Hence const nt
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 « f

In addition the companies shown in the table o f mileage as “ leased
etc.,” have been acquired from time to time by lease or stock owner
ship. The latest acquisitions are: In July, 1896, the N ew Y o rk &
Harlem RR.; in 1897 the Central Crosstown (in eluding Christopher
and 10th Street) and Second Avenue. The miles o f track operated
has thus been increased as fo llo w s : From 80 in 1893 to 131 in 1894,
to 140 in 1895, to 172 in 1896, to 230 in 1897.
The underground electric system is gradually replacing the old
horse car lines, and in May, 1898, about 27 per cent o f the system was
operated by meebanioal traction. About 37 miles of electric lines
were completed early in 1898. The work on the Sixth Avenue line
and on the Eighth Avenue lin e below 59th Street was delayed by liti
gation, but in May, 1898, the Court of Appeals denied the right of the
city to take possession of the Eighth Avenue road under its franchise,
and it was expected the electrical equipment of both lines would be
pushed to completion at once. The Broadway line, also, it is believed,
w ill be eventually changed from cable to underground trolley.—V.
