RAILWAY

SECURITIES.

When baying atreet railway aecurities, what precau­
tions shall we take in order to buy only those moat
desirable ? Thia is a question that has been put to us,
and that merit* a reply. Though we cannot of course
promise a touch stone at universal efficacy, we may be
able to offer Borne suggestion* to those who, like our
querist, may need advice.
A* regards the value of a atreet railway, as of every
other investment property, we must always hold a chief
element to be considered ia the character and ability of
the men having it* finances and general management
in charge. It is the most common-place statement
possible to my that, given the same business, one set of
manager* will make it highly profitable, and another,
through incompetency, inattention, or questionable
procedure, may permit it to become bankrupt. Yet
not enough care, we are persuaded, is taken in any
class of investments to determine the trustworthy
character of the controlling spirit* in the enterprise.
A curious fact, but one often remarked by those who
survey, a* we do, the market* and their haaty buyers
and too often despondent seller*, is that the people not

infrequently seem to buy most readily the securities
about which they know the least, thus trusting their
money to and as it were endorsing persons to whom if they
knew them better they would not lend a dollar. This %
is no more and no less true as to street railway compa­
nies than as to other corporations offering their securi­
ties to the public, though it ia only proper to say that
the investor may well beware of such street railways as
appear to be built merely as adjuncts to real estate
speculations. Probably these last have been the source
of more street railway disasters than any other one
cause. If the speculation is successful, the electric
line may thrive. But who would care to have the value
of his investment* dependent on the success of some
one else’s venture in real estate ?
It is perhaps hardly necessary to say that even good
i officers and a good board of directors are not of them­
selves a guaranty of intrinsic worth. A stock invest­
ment to I»e desirable must have not only honest and
efficient management, but this must be accompanied
by ample earning power in the property itself. That
fact every one knows, and It seems to be a sufficient
reason why a company that desires the general public
to buy its securities should be obliged to make frequent*
reports of earnings. Indeed, fow of our readers we
presume would purchase for investment the stock or
bonds of a railway of whose earning capacity they have
not precise information, unless perhaps on the strength
of an exceptional guaranty. But having purchased the
securities of a street railway, we believe the purchaser
should go further and insist on receiving reports that
will keep him posted as to its subsequent operations, a
full statement yearly and at short intervals of the figures
of gross and net earnings such as a considerable num­
ber of companies already furnish the Oh ROXICLB for
its weekly issue. Being thus in possession of these
facts the question remains, how is one to be at all sore
of equally favorable results in the future ? True, some
say large net earnings may bo shown for a few years,
but how about the years to come when operating ex­
penses must be swelled by the cost of considerable re­
newals of rail and equipment ?
In other words, what for a street railway is the
normal ratio of operating expenses to gross income,
with renewals at a fair average rate ? This is a ques­
tion that cannot be said to have been definitely settled.
We onrselvesin previous issues of this S upplemkxt have

4

STREET

RAILW AYS.

referred to the uncertain element in the calculation,
namely the durability of street railway track and equip­
ments. The general belief, however, is that on wellbuilt roads of good traffic in the larger cities, with fares
maintained at 5 cents, and conditions favorable, the
operating expenses may range from 60 to 50 per cent of
the gross earnings, and in some cases, under especially
good management, may be even less. Under more
usual conditions on roads serving less than sixty thou­
sand people it is thought the more common rate will
be between 60 and 70 per cent, while higher rates will
be met with, more especially where the traffic is light.
In cases where the total gross receipts amount to only
a few thousand dollars a year, the ratio of operating
expenses to income may often vary extraordinarily,
from 30 per cent for instance on a new line up to over
100 per cent where the travel is insufficient to make
operation profitable.
The very little roads, however,
are better suited for investors Jiving in their imme­
diate vicinity than for persons at a distance, for in case
of a judgment for damages the loss incurred may exceed
several years’ earnings and unless one is on the ground
and able to protect his interests it may render him
subject to considerable loss.
Some interesting data
with regard to the cost of operating street railways
will be found in a subsequent article.
The physical characteristics, however, of a street
railway play an important part in determining the cost
of operating. Consequently if we wish lo satisfy our­
selves as to the normal ratio of operating expenses, we
shall have to learn the manner in which the road has
been built and the character of its equipment. Heavy
rails and a perfectly smooth track were by no means as
essential for the old-fashioned slow-going horse-cars as
for the modern heavy and rapidly moving trolley car.
Girder rails weighing 30, 35 or 40 pounds to the yard were
formerly in common use and did good service. To day the
movement is toward a girder rail weighing as much as
80 or 100 pounds, or a X rail weighing 60 to 70 pounds,
the universal testimony being that unless the track is
maintained in excellent condition the cars last only a
comparatively short time. Instructive facts from prac­
tical men with regard to this point are given in a sepa­
rate item following this article. In passing, we may
remind the reader that it is not the trolley cars alone
that injure the track laid with light girder rails. Many
cities have required the companies to lay the girder
rail, since it is less injurious to trucks and carriages
and by its groove affords smooth running ground for
vehicles. It is the trucks and heavy wagons that are
constantly turning into and out of the track that do a
large share of the injury. Hence, if the company has
a private right of way, or if it can choose its rail, it has a
great advantage, which should be taken into account,
for a 60-pound X rail, such as some of the steam rail­
roads use, it is believed will under most conditions last
as long as a much heavier girder rail.
To the street railway official these statements are
familiar, but to the inquiring investor in the new field
of street railway securities they may be of assistance.
The matter of physical characteristics he cannot afford
to pass lightly by. Either the property should be equal
to the traffic which it is required to do or it should finan­
cially be so circumstanced that it can safely issue addi­
tional securities, or pay for improvements out of cur­
rent income. And however the road may be built, it
is assuredly the part of wisdom that its earnings should
be allowed to exceed by a pretty fair margin the fixed
charges. Except a “ boom ” is in progress, such as

8wept the West a few years ago, leaving in its wake wrecks
of street railways built on false expectations, as well as
of real estate and other enterprises, except we say under
some unnatural and unstable inflation of business and
population, street railways enjoy an income that has
been proved to be exceptionally constant, tending usu­
ally to increase in a surprising fashion. But while this
cannot be denied, they are sometimes subject to unex­
pected and unreasonable demands on their resources to
an amount which, as compared with their receipts, are
generally far more burdensome than any to which the
steam railroads are liable. We refer to the damages
allowed by the courts in case of injuries to persons and
to the exactions for municipal improvements. In
capitalizing street railway companies or buying their
securities, allowance should be made, we think, for
possible contingencies of this sort. We have in mind
three street railways which within a year have been
rendered bankrupt, or practically so, by, as they claim,
unexpected requirements of this nature.
Then there are other considerations which the in­
vestor unacquainted with these securities needs to bear
in mind. Oae is in regard to the exact form of security
which he is buying. Owing to the formation of trac­
tion companies to control by lease or stock ownership
street railway companies, there have come into exist­
ence a variety of collateral trust securities that may or
may not be called mortgage bonds, and may or may
not be desirable obligations to own. Then too the
immunity from competition, either temporary or per­
manent, through legislative enactment or natural
advantage of location, is a matter of no small conse­
quence to be ascertained. The popular sentiment of
the community, whether hostile or friendly, regarding
a company, may be inquired about, and whether any
right or disposition exists to compel a reduction of
fares, or a sharing of profits with the city.
Thus briefly we have touched on a few of the ele­
ments which affect the value of street railway securi­
ties. The increasing passion for trolley riding is to
our mind quite as remarkable as the sudden popularity
of the bicycle. It was thought last year that the
maximum earnings had been reached on many lines,
but further large increases on the same lines are now
being reported, and where a few years ago many a
street railway failed to earn operating expenses, it now
runs cars crowded beyond endurance. Hot only does
the quick and pleasant transit to suburban resorts bring
needed relief from city confinement to all classes, but
trolley riding it seems to us is with the masses becoming
a popular extravagance. Those who once scarcely rode
at all and who ought to be saving their pennies now
step aboard merely to go a few blocks. Whatever may
be thought of the social effect of such action, it is
proving a windfall to the trolley companies and promises
a bright future to those of them that are conservatively
managed. The bicycle may in some places unfavorably
affect earnings, but hardly we should suppose more
than temporarily.
In buying street railway securities we have then to
consider (1) the reputation for conservative, wise man­
agement of those in possession of the property, (2) the
normal percentage of operating expenses, taking into
consideration the road’ s standard of physical construc­
tion and equipment, (3) the earnings, renewals and re­
pairs, current and prospective, (4) the size and financial
strength of the road, whether possessing sufficient re­
serve power to be unembarrassed by damage suits and
1municipal requirements, (5) the chances of competition,

STREET
the danger of compulsory reduction of fares, the rela­
tions with the community served, whether pleasant or
strained, and (6) finally the nature of the security
itself.
OTHER STREET R A ILW A Y TOPICS.
L if e of Street R a il w a y E quipm ent . — In con­
nection with the articles preceding, we thought it
interesting to have the opinions of practical men
with regard to the probable life of street railway equip­
ment.
We have been favored with the following
replies to our inquiries. The first letter is from the
makers of one of the best street railway cars on the
market; it read a3 follows;
The question you ask is an extremely difficult one to an*
awer. The lifetime of an electric car depends entirely upon
the usage and care taken of it, A good strong car on a poor
road-bed will not last anything like so long as a car on a good
road-bed. If a road-bed is put in ordinarily good state of
repair, and the car body properly mounted on a truck with
suitable trussing, we presume the life o f one of our stand­
ard oars would be from fifteen to twenty years.

It will be observed how much emphasis is here
placd on the necessity of a good road bed.
A life of
from fifteen to twenty years for a trolley car, it will
be readily believed, may be reduced to a much shorter
period by fast running on a bad track.
The writer of the following letter is at the head of
one of the largest trolley systems in the country, and
in a city where the travel is extremely heavy.
The quest ions which you ask are rather difficult to answer.
Some of our now 94 lb. rail where traffic ia light we hope to
have last upwards of ten years, while some of the new rail
on -------------- Street, where we are running upwards of
three thousand cars per day, will not last to exceed two to
three years. As to the mileage life I could not give you any
satisfactory information.
Regarding the average life of a
trolley car, this also depends altogether upon the kind of
track over which it runs. If properly maintained and re­
paired from time to time, I presume a car would average
upwards o f fifteen or even twenty years.

The agreement between the writers of the foregoing
totters as to the probable life of a car as fifteen to
twenty years ia noticeable. The following letter is
written by a man of much experience as the manager
of street railways. He lays stress on the necessity of
repairs from time to time, and places the life of a car
at considerably less period than the writers already
cited, while the life of a rail he estimates decidedly
longer.
The life o f a trolley car largely depends upon the amount
•of repairs made from time to time, whether it be maintained
properly; also upon the condition of the tracks over which
it runs. It ought to last anywhere from six to ten years;
but railroads are always replacing with new cars to keep pace
with improvements and the demands of travel sooner than
they actually need to.
As to 90-lb. rails laid in pavement their life depends some­
what upon the wagon traffic and the manner in which the
pavement is maintained; also as to how close ties are spaced
under them. I should say under fair conditions about fifteen
years would be the average life.

The two remaining letters are from the officers of
leading companies engaged in building street cars.
One of these says :
Answering yours of the 9th would say that it would be
rather difficult to answer your question, as the use trolley
cars are subject to differs* so much in different cities that to
make an intelligent answer ia entirely out of the question,
C-ure should last from twenty to twenty-five years, although
we have no doubt many of them are worn out long before
that time, owiug to faulty construction and bad handling.

The other letter says :
Your question is a difficult one to answer. Trolley cars
have hardly been in use long enough to establish a record as to
length of service. Much depends upon method of construction.
Some cars wear out much more quickly than others. In the
city of Brooklyn horse cars that have done service for fifteen
or twenty or more years have been changed into motor cars
and are more satisfactory, with greater promise of endurance,
than electric cars but recently built. The wear and tear on
electric cars is greater than on borse cars, but if properly
built and of proper material there should be fifteen to twenty

RAILWAYS.

5

years of good effective life in them. Horse cars of our man­
ufacture in the city of Boston are over thirty years old and
still good and solid.

From the opinions expressed in these letters we can
determine little respecting what should be the life of
the equipment of any particular street railway. To
do this, more opinions covering a greater experience
than the electric service has thus far had would be
necessary, but we cannot hut be struck by the neces­
sity of good, careful management, good construction
and ample repairs from time to time for both road and
cars.
As showing the liberal policy pursued in the matter
of repairs by the Massachusetts roads, it is interesting
to note the relation existing in that State for the year
1894-95 between the co3t of repairs on equipment for
the year and the total cost of equipment to Oct. 1,
1895. Equipment formerly cost very much more than
it does now, so that, as the State Railroad Commis­
sioners say, a considerable sum remains for the com­
panies to charge off when opportunity offers.
But
notwithstanding that fact, the total cost of street railway
equipment for the State is stated for Oct. 1, 1895, as
*11,296,414, while the total expenditures for repairs
of equipment for the year were *1,209,267, or over ^0
per cent.
As regard cost of road, etc., the result is
of little significance, for this item in the balance sheet
contains such a large amount for franchises, but for
equipment the repairs in Massachusetts during the
last year appear to have been liberal enough to renew
the entire rolling stock in less than ten years.
C ost of O peratin g Street R a i l w a y s —The
question as to the probable average cost of operating
street railways is a highly important one, as has been
stated in a preceding article and often on previous
occasions. Some persons have inclined to the belief
that renewals of track and rolling-stock will diminish
greatly the net income of the companies to the point
perhaps of impairing tbeir ability to pay interest or
dividends. Others maintain that for ordinarily pros­
perous companies this is a matter that need not cause
any apprehension. A few facts bearing on the prob­
lem involved in the discussion are here presented.
We have prepared the following tables from the
reports of the Massachusetts Railroad Commissioners.
The first contains the familiar figures, covering eight
years past, which show the development of the street
railway industry in the State of Massachusetts, the
increase in the track operated from 574 mile3 in 1889
to 1,078 miles in 1895 and of track operated with
electricity from 51 miles to 1,016 miles in 1895. It
also shows an increase in the gross earnings for the
same period of over 75 per cent and in net earnings
of over 152 per cent. It likewise exhibits for each
year the ratio existing between operating expenses and
gross earnings and the number of cars owned. The
second table contains the facts regarding the amount
of repairs charged to operating expenses, both on ac­
count of track and roadway, and its electric system
for the transmission of power, and of the cars and
their electric equipment.

*This item includes repairs of harness and horse-slioeing. These
repairs must have reached a very large total, but they were uot given
separately until 1892-93, when with a majority of the old horse roads
converted to electric lines they still aggregated for the year $83,534.
On Sept. 30, 1889, there were 11,817 horses owned; on Sept. 30, 1893,
only 3.531.

We notice here the constancy of the ratio of oper­
ating expenses during the last three years, accom­
panied by the materially heavier expenditures for
maintenance of track and equipment, and at the same
time a very large expansion in net earnings. The ex­
penditures for maintenance of track and roadway
(exclusive of payments on account of the electric sys­
tem for the transmission of power) increased from
$379,698 in 1892-3 to $898,278 in 18915 and the
expenditures for renewals of cars and motors from
$798,398 to $1,209,267. To some this may appear as
confirming the claim that we must look for a steady
augmentation in the expenditures for repairs, renewals
and maintenance of street railways from year to year.
Careful examination, however, of the statistics in the
foregoing tables hardly bears out this view. One very
important fact affecting the comparisons should not be
overlooked at the outset. At the end of the fiscal
year 1891-92 (September 30) there were only 755 miles
of street railway track of all kinds in the State,
whereas on September 30 1895 the length of track
had increased to 1,078 miles, being an addition of 323
miles, or over 40 per cent. With a very much larger
mileage to take care of, the aggregate expense for
maintaining it would naturally increase by reason of
that fact alone.
Caution in drawing conclusions from these figures is
necessary also for several other reasons. O ne is the prepon­
derance in the totals of earnings and expenses of the re­
sults on the West End Street Railway of Boston, on which
an immensely heavy business, with thousands of cars
traversing the tracks daily and wagon travel a consid­
erable factor, has made necessary unusual replacement
of rails, etc. Another is that to an appreciable extent,
in some instances, the operating expenses under the
item of maintenance probably include the cost of in­
troducing the trolley on lines previously operated with
horses. On many lines, too, on account of the great
expansion in traffic the car service is much heavier
now, occasioning greater wear and tear on track and
greater outlays for repairs of rolling stock.
But notwithstanding the uncertainties involved in
the case, it is interesting to note the manner in
which earnings have expanded, occasioning a hand­
some development of net income in spite of the larger
expenditures made on the plant. In this tendency we
have precisely the basis for the reply made by
street railway managers to the gloomy prognostications
of those persons who sometimes foretell the rapid
destruction of track and equipment, and the conse­
quent obliteration of profits. The increasing re­
ceipts on a well located road, says the railway man­
ager, will, when the time comes, provide for the
expenses for maintenance.
Some facts worth recording as to the cost of oper­
ating separate roads in Massachusetts are also obtained

RAILW AYS.
through a study of the Commissioners’ report, i f we
omit seven very small companies, whose total gross
income aggregated only about $90,000, we shall
discover that out of 49 cases only six companies
have operating expenses less than 61 per cent.
These companies with their gross income for the
year 1894-95 and ratio of operating are a3 fol­

per cen t; Quincy & Boston Street Ry. $86,452, ratio
57 per cent.
With operating expenses from 61 to 70 per cent,
inclusive, are 17 companies, including the two large
concerns, the Lowell Lawrence & Haverhill Street Ry.
(with gross earnings of $403,530 and ratio of operat­
ing 65 per cent) and the Springfield Street Ry., which
has gross earnings of $442,006 and operating expenses
63 per cent. The remainder of the companies have
gross earnings amounting to between $20,000 and
$200,000, but mostly over $60,000, and their ratio
of operatiog is principally between 62 and 67 per cent.
Having operating expenses of between 71 and 75 per
cent are eight companies, only three of which
earn over $50,000 yearly, two of the three being com­
panies of special importance, namely the West End
company of Boston whose gross income aggregated
for 1894-95 $7,746,170 (operating ratio 73 per cent)
and the Worcester Consolidated with gross of $420,498
and ratio of 74 per cent. With a ratio over 75 per
cent are eleven companies, but with one exception
they are extremely small affairs, the year’s earnings
for each being less than $30,000, the one exception
having gross earnings of $103,308.
Two facts may be deduced from the foregoing ratios
— one is, as we should expect, that in the case of the
little street railways the variations in the cost of oper­
ating are great and most uncertain, 39 per cent being
the lowest and 156 per cent the greatest ratio
reported, and, second, that at present the most com­
mon ratio on roads of good earning capacity is between
62 and 67 per cent, with signal examples both above
70 and below 60. In the cost of operating on which
these figures are based, it should be said, is included
the cost of removing snow. I f this item were to be
deducted, the average ratio of operating for the entire
State would be reduced about one per cent, while for
certain companies the reduction would be still more.
Exceptions undoubtedly there always will be, and
considerable variations according to different condi­
tions and different degrees of good management and
of good construction; but if the hopes of street rail­
way men are realized the ratio of operating expenses
shown to prevail in Massachusetts should hardly ad­
vance to any great extent, and as plant and equipment
are brought to the latest and best standard of excel­
lence and earnings improve, there may quite possibly
be more or less reduction in the relative cost of main­
tenance.
Street R a il w a y T raffic isr C it ie s . — It is of
course a well-known fact tUat street railway traffic is
relatively heavier in the larger cities than elsewhere.
But it is really surprising what a great proportion of
the whole traffic is found in the leading cities. The
Massachusetts roads in the latest fiscal year (the year

STREET
ending September 30 1895) carried 259,794,304 pas­
sengers, and of this number no less than 155,231,506
were carried by the West End Company alone— that is,
one company in and about B iston carried nearly 60
per cent of the whole. In our own State the propor­
tions are even more striking. From the returns of the
State Railroad Commissioners we have compiled the
following statement, showing the number of passen­
gers carried by the elevated and surface roads in New
York City and Brooklyn, separately and combined,
and also the number carried in all the rest of the
State. The figures in this case cover the year ending
June 30.

B ight of C it y of P h il a d e l p h ia to P urchase I ts
Street R a i l w a y .— The Law Committee of the Phila­

delphia City Councils recently made “ an investigation
of the present condition of street railway travel in the
city of Philadelphia, and the position and relation of
the street railway companies to the city of Philadel­
phia and her citizens/'’ under the instructions of
Councils, and on April 2 adopted a report which
contains many interesting facts. Referring to muni­
cipal ownership, the Philadelphia “ Ledger” quotes
the report as saying that the agitation on the subject
is based on a section of the ordinance of July 7, 1857,
providing that passenger railways shall file a statement
of the cost of their road with the City Solicitor, the
city reserving the right to purchase the same at any
time by paying the original cost. Commenting on this
law, the report says :
The questions have therefore presented themselves under
this ordinance in the following forms :
First. Has the city of Philadelphia the power to exercise an
option to purchase at a price fixed nearly 40 years ago and
destroy ali intervening equities, moat of which have been
created by the city's own authority ?
Second." Assuming that it has such a power, is it wise to
exercise it at this time ?
Tbe City Solicitor, in his opinion upon this point, says that
this is entirely a question for the courts to determine, It
would seem, however, that if the power exists to purchase
these roads under the section recited, that no court wouM
consider as lost to these companies all proper equities accrued
since 1857 ; tbat is to say, the city ought not, under any cir­
cumstances, and would not in equity, be permitted to take
these roads at their original or first cost, as provided in the
letter of the ordinance, but would in all probability be com­
pelled to account to them for every reasonable expenditure and
improvement put upon that property during the past 40 years.
On the other hand, it is a fact that Section 3 of theordinanee
of 1857 is one of the most remarkable to be found on our stat­
ute books. It has stood there unchallenged, unamended,
unrepealed. As each road has been granted additional priv­
ileges by Councils, it has by its own agreement, made itself
amenable and liable to its provisions. It is an integral part
of every grant to occupy a street for railway purposes.
Every dollar that has been spent upon every railroad in Phil­
adelphia baa been spent with full knowledge of Us existence.
Changes in corporations nave taken place, new companies
have been formed under new laws, improved methods of
ransit adopted, new systems of pavement introduced.
Some of the companies have filed statements of cost, as
required by it, and all subject to this apparently plain, direct
contract with tbe city of Philadelphia tbat they should sur­
render all under the conditions of the section. A magic spell
seems to have been over all for nearly forty years, railway
managers and city officials alike, to have permitted so farreaching and important an enactment as this to lie totally
neglected and apparently forgotten. The ordinance of 1357
has been upheld by the Supreme Court in nearly every other
particular, but this section has never yet been construed.
As to the second proposition, the advisability of purchasing
the street railways is a matter entirely within the province of
the Finance Committee and Councils, If it should be de­
termined by Councils that the first proposition is a feasible
one. and that any rights the city may have under Section 8 of
she ordinance of 1857 should be strictly enforced if possible,
then the subject of providing a means of payment will natur­
ally come before the Finance Committee and Councils for
settlement.

Thus, out of 8024 million passengers carried by all
the street railroads in the State daring the late fiscal
year, only 121£ millions were carried by the roads out­
side of New York City and Brooklyn, showing that the
two cities furnished about 85 per cent, of the total,
while the rest of the State had but 15 per cent. This
small proportion outside the two cities is the more note­
worthy as there are a good many cities of considerable
size in New York State— 3uch as Buffalo, Rochester,
Albany, Syracuse, Troy, etc. By the United States
Census of 1890 New York was given a population
of 1,515,501 and Brooklyn a population of 806,343
(disregarding for this purpose the additions since to the
areas of the two cities, which, if taken into considera­
tion, would not materially affect the result), or 2,321,844
together. But the State as a whole at that time was
credited with a population of 5,997,853, thus leaving
3,676,009 outside the two great cities. Yet the street
railways in these two cities (and which with some other
territory are now to be united as one city' under the
Oreater New York bill) carried, as we see, in 1894-95
681 million passengers, while thoae of the rest
of the State, with an aggregate population fully 50
per cent greater than that of these two cities (taking
the 1890 Census as a basis) carried not quite 1214
million passengers.
The fact of course is signifi­
cant only as demonstrating how much more exten­
sively the street railways are used in the chief centres ;
We can scarcely believe that the city of Philadelphia
large aggregates of population necessarily beget a will ever undertake to purchase street railways. Nor
deal of travel—the people have greater occasion to use can the foregoing be accepted as establishing the right
the roads, are more inclined to ride short distances, to take the roads at their original cost. It will he
travel to and from work and business is very heavy, and noticed that it is admitted the section of the law of
in various other ways the traffic is multiplied and 1857 upon which this right is supposed to rest has
raised to very large dimensions, while the same condi­ never been judicially construed, and furthermore
tions of course also lead to the multiplication and ex­ that the City Solicitor says that “ if the power exists
tension of street railway mileage. One other compari­ to purchase these roads under the section recited, no
son will be interesting. While the street and elevated court would consider as lost to these companies all
roads in the State in 1894-95 carried 802§ million pas­ proper equities accrued since 1857.” On the whole,
sengers, the steam roads of the State, comprising over the situation in this particular does not seem to be
eight thousand miles of main line, carried less than such as to furnish grounds for uneasiness to the owners

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 freeh 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 o f their securities, upon the population and wealth of the country they serve. Hence constant
reference to our State and C ity Supplement 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
ength in that publication, every one of which items is an essential fact contributing more or less to any correct estimate of
he amount o f suburban travel a given road commands.

Railway Company was seeking authority to increase its capital
stock from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 and to issue a new loan,
but in August, 1895, it was stated that the increase in stock had not
been allowed by the State RR. Commission, as company’s charter did
not permit it. A stockholders’ meeting on July 1, 1895, authorized
the guarantee of $250,000 Southern Boulevard Railway Company
