steadily enlarged its mileage, they have become quite a
feature of street railway traffic, not only on the Metro­
politan itself, but on competing lines like the Third
Avenue and the Second Avenue. The effect has been
that in a good many cases what formerly constituted
two rides now counts as only one. Furthermore, busi­
ness depression in checking the natural growth in the
number of persons regularly employed and the travel­
ing they would otherwise do, has no doubt also contrib­
uted to the reduction in the per capita rides. On this
point it is important to bear in mind that a considerable
portion of the traffic of our street and elevated roads
comes from persons who do not live in New York and
do not count as part of New York’s population, but
who do business here or are employed here. As to
Kansas City, the conditions in 1895 were evidently for
the time being very unfavorable, for it is noticeable that
total traffic (the aggregate number of passengers car­
ried) has remained almost stationary as compared with
1890, while both thedncrease in mileage and in popu­
lation has been comparatively small. It should be
borne in mind, however, that the street railway system
of Kansas City has long been noted for its excellence.
Consequently the loss of traffic due to the business
depression could not, as in some cities, be offset to any
large extent by offering additional inducements to the
people to travel. On the other (hand the facilities for
carrying more passengers are in existence and a mate­
rial improvement in general conditions is almost certain
to witness an increase of riding on the street cars. In
New York the increase in total traffic has been quite
substantial.
The most important fact, however, brought out by
our table is that in most cities the rides per capita are
upon the increase, though of course the increase varies
very greatly both in ratio and absolute amount.
The advance of New Haven, as indicated by the 136
per cent increase in rides per capita, is unequaled by
any other city. This is particularly noticeable when
it is compared with the results for other cities of
about the same population. Albany shows 70 per
cent increase, Oolumbus, Ohio, only 40 per cent, Fall
River 38 per cent. Hartford comes nearest to New
Haven with a calculated increase of 125 per cent, but
this result does not represent a fair comparison, since
all the roads in the city extend out into the country,
making the total traffic as noted unduly large. The fig­
ures for New Haven are also affected in this way, but
probably not to the same marked degree.
In the larger cities the rides per capita do not show
such a great increase, but the results are more
reliable. Buffalo, with an increase of 112 per cent,
leads the list, and the gain is explained by
the fact that the mileage has been more than
doubled in the period covered, while the population
has increased only 25 per cent in the same time. Bos­
ton, Baltimore and St. Louis have gained from 30 to
40 per cent in the number of rides per capita, which
indicates a good healthy growth of traffic. The in­
crease in Brooklyn in the rides per capita is less than
12 per cent. The population in that city has greatly in ­
creased since 1890. The city is rapidly securing an
efficient and comprehensive railway service, and within
the last two years the transfer system has been very
extensively introduced; but the great incentive of
street railway riding—business activity has been
lacking.
New Orleans makes quite a fair showing in the table;
the population has gained very little but the rides per

capita have increased over 10 per cent. This goes to
prove what a potent factor in the successful develop­
ment of surface railroads the introduction of electricity
as a motive power has been, for there is not a horse
road left in the city of New Orleans, and the marked
progress is undoubtedly due to this fact.
Another interesting thing to notice concerning the
figures of rides per capita besides their percentage increase
is their relation to each other. The results grow larger
as the population increases, but they do not grow
proportionately; and on account of many different
causes, some constant, due to geographical and climatic
influences, and others transient, due to management
and local conditions, they vary greatly even in cities of
approximately the same size possessing similar railway
systems. In Boston the large average of rides per
capita may be ascribed to the fact that the city has one
of the most fully developed street railway systems in
the whole country, and one that serves a very large
suburban population, the traffic from which it has not
been possible to eliminate from the figures.
While the comparison of rides per capita is interest­
ing it will be instructive to supplement any inferences
drawn therefrom by a comparison of the actual figures
of the total passenger traffic in the several cities for
the years reported. Very naturally the results for New
York are striking. The total number of passengers
annually carried on the surface and elevated railroads
in this city is about equal to the combined yearly
traffic of Chicago and Brooklyn, is 7,000,000 more than
the number carried in the three cities, Philadelphia,
Boston and St. Louis together, and is 70,000,000 in
excess of the whole volume of passenger traffic in the
eighteen other cities on the list. This is accomplished
upon a system whose mileage is 40 per cent less than
that of Chicago and about equal to that of either Bos­
ton or Brooklyn. We have already pointed out that
New York is favored in the fact that it gets the travel
not only of its own population, but of that of all the
surrounding localities, a large number of whose resi­
dents do business or find employment here.#
If we go a step further, however, we find that the
actual gain during the last five years in the number of
passengers carried in New York has not been so great
as in several other cities. The increase in Chicago was
92,000,000 against 40,000,000 in New York, 57,000,000
in Brooklyn, 54,000,000 in Boston and 39,000,000 in
St. Louis. But Chicago has added 324 miles to its
mileage during the five years and Boston 120 miles, as
compared with the gain of 55 miles in New York in the
same period. The mileage increase in Brooklyn has
been less than that of New York and that of St. Louis
but little in excess of it. Boston’s remarkable progress
in the number of passengers carried must of course be
referred to the perfection to which her street railway
system has been brought and also to the inclusion of a
great deal of suburban traffic, whose growth has been
specially stimulated by the use of the new form of
motive power. ___________________

STREET RAILWAYS.

We would not by this imply that for a street railway
to be engaged in the electric-lighting business is any­
thing entirely new. Instances of the kind appeared in
the early history of the trolley road, as at Richmond,
Va., and at Milwaukee, Wis. But hitherto this union
has been principally in places of small population. In
the cities the field afforded was sufficiently large to
make profitable separate companies devoted to the
two lines of business. The lighting company was
usually the first to get established, and during the
earlier stages in their career the trolley road and its
sister the electric-lighting company had their hands
too full, each with its own business, to pay much atten­
tion to the other. In the meantime the shares repre­
senting their capital stocks were so widely distributed
in the hands of investors that subsequent consolidation
was no easy task.
A point seems now, however, to have been reached
where the advantages to be obtained by consolidation
are overcoming the difficulties and bringing the con­
solidation about. We cite the case of the Toledo Trac­
tion Company of Toledo, Ohio. This company has
acquired all the properties, rights and franchises of all
the street railways in Toledo, and it also controls by
ownership of the entire capital stock and bonds the
Toledo Consolidated Electric Company, which last
owns and controls practically all the electric-lighting
and power business of the city and the underground
conduits. Its entire system—railway, incandescent and
arc lighting and power—will, we are informed, be
operated from one new central power station in place
of from four stations as heretofore.
Two years ago the Terre Haute Electric Railway
Company of Terre Haute, Ind., secured the contract,
through the Citizens’ Electric Light & Power Company,
which it owns and operates, for lighting the entire city
by electricity. The same company owns the Steam
Heating & Power Company, and in 1895 began using
its exhaust steam for heating purposes. At Augusta,
Ga., recently the Augusta Railway, the Augusta Light
Company and the Thomson-Houston company were
consolidated as the Augusta Railway & Electric Com­
pany, which thus secures control of the electric busi­
ness of the entire city. At Zanesville, Ohio, and at
Akron, Ohio, within a few months, similar consolida­
tions haying the same end in view have been effected.

In the following table we have brought together th e
names of thirty-nine street railway companies owning
or controlling electric-light plants.

The reasons for this consolidation process are not
hard to find, being principally, as all realize, the expec­
tation of a considerable saving in expenses by the con­
centration of management and the economizing of
power. But another object sought is to transform the
relatively small local enterprises into single corpora­
tions haying capital and stability enough to command
the respect of investors and banking interests. The
rapid growth of our American cities renders attractive
to investors the securities of corporations that possess
special privileges or facilities for catering to a com­
munity as a whole ; and the combination of the electric­
lighting business with the street railway service must
tend to make the field still more inviting. It is a mis­
take to assume that the existence of a single large cor­
poration of this kind in a municipality is likely to be
inimical to the public interest. Under an enlightened
policy by the city and the corporation it should prove
reciprocally beneficial. On the other hand, as experi­
ence has plainly shown, the doing of an elec trie-lighting
business will not save a street railway from bankruptcy
if the capitalization assumed is too weighty or other
conditions are unfavorable. As the investment demand
for corporate securities expands, we expect to see more
and more cases where street railways and electric com­
panies are united, either absolutely, or practically
through the ownership by one of them of the other’s
securities.

SECURITIES

AND

REPORTS.

This is o a e of our four Supplements. In using th e series it is to be remembered that they are inter-dependent
publications, complete o n ly a s a whole. If utilized to g e th e r, and w ith the fresh items of news the C h r o n ic l e contains from
week to week, the investor w ill 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 s o C it 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
length in that publication, every one of which items is an essential fact contributing more or less to any correct estimate of
th e amount of suburban travel a given road commands.
The A b b r e v i a t i o n s used in our Street Railway statements will be found explained in a table immediately following tbe
last statement in this Supplement.
