STREET RAILWAYS.
New York surface railways.under the general railroad
law of 1884 if constructed in whole or in part since the
passage of that act are obliged to pay into the city's
sinking fund for the first five years 3 per cent, and
thereafter 5 per cent of the gross receipts of such new
lines.* The act of 1884, it is interesting to note,
originally required a payment of this nature from new
roads in all cities of 250,000 inhabitants, or over, but
presumably became too burdensome, for the law was
amended in 1892 so as to place in the hands of the
local authorities in all places having less than 1,200,000
inhabitants the right to exact the payment of not
exceeding 3 per cent of such gross receipts. Iu New
York, the Sixth Avenue, Second Avenue and the other
old lines escape the effect of the 1884 law, but the
newly completed lines such as the Columbus & 9ch
Avenue fall within its terms. The Union Riilwayis
taxed under a special law. The impression, however,
of some people that our railways pay little or nothing
for their rights is a mistake, as appears from the
following statement of the various taxes, etc. levied,
and required under the general tax and other laws.
To be fair to the companies it is clearly necessary to
include the amounts due both State and city.

1. Llc«n3fc fee per car yearly to city.
Large cars, most lines.............. ..........................................................$50
Oae-horse oars most line *
......... ............................................. 25
Large cars 9 Mi Avenue RR ........................................................... 20
On Third Avenue (claims to be exempt) matter in litigation.
2. Percentage of gross earnings.
(a) All companies pay to Slate one-half of one per cent of gross earn­
ings.
(b) All surface companies on lines constructed since passage of law
of 1884 pay for firs' five years -t percent, thereafter 5 per cent* of
gross earnings to city sinking faud
(o) They also p*y any additional sum bid in order to secure
their franchise. On Third Avenue for Kings Bridge exteusion
38 per cent of the extension's gr««83 earnings.
(d) TJuiou Railway Co. under special acr, instead of 3 per cent for five
years then five per cent, pays to city one per cent of its gross
earniogn when these averag- for the year $l.70o daily and au
additional 1 per cent for every additional $1,700 daily.
3 Tax to State on stock where th-- dividends are 6 per cent or over is
one-quarter mill upon the capital stock for each one per cent of
dividend paid. Companies paying no dividends or less than u per
cent are subject to a tax of 1*9 mills upon each dollar of the mar­
ket value of the capital stock
4. Tax on real estate
5. Tax on their roadway which is, curiously enough, classed as real
estate for purposes of taxation.
6. Tax O" personal property, which is determined by deducting the
value of real estate separately assessed from the market value of
capital stock and taxing the remainder.
7. Tax to support State R illroad Commission.

Iu the aggregate th se tax.s often reach for a single
company a very large sum. Thus the Manhattan
Railway for the year ending Jane 30 1894 had taxes
levied upon it as follows: On property used in opera­
tion of road, $44,175; on earnings and capital stock,
$118,268; other taxes, $431,069; total $593,512—equal
to nearly 13 per cent of the company's net earnings.
The companies complain of the double taxation under
which they exist— taxes on gross earnings and net
earnings and dividends, taxes on personal property and
also on their cars. Toe Manhattan Railway is contest­
ing the right of the assessors to tax it on over $17,800,000 of personal property, and, as stated at the annual
meeting two weeks ago, hopes to gain its case, which
would reduce its taxes $285,000.
Under the general railroad law of 1884 the surface
companies are obliged to keep in repair that portion of
the street between their tracks and two feet outside.
While no one will question that the city might prop­
erly have gained a larger revenue from its franchises
than it has provided it had foreseen their value, all
that we can apparently do now is to be careful that fu­
ture gifts of streets and privileges are properly paid
for.
Philadelphia street railways have been burdened by
the State and city authorities in a variety of ways—
* As regards extensions of lines existing before May 6. 18S4. a com­
pany must pay these percentages "only upon such portion of its
gross receipts as sh ill bear the same proportion to its whole trross
receipts as the length of such extension or branches shall hear to
the entire length of its line.”

7

license fees on cars, taxes on gross receipts and value
of capital stock, and finally the whole cost of r e p a v i n g
the street from c u r b to c u r b . The companies, not un­
naturally, complain. We give below full data as to the
requirements, furnished to us by one of our Philadelphia
friends and obtained by him from tbe officials of one
of tbe most important systems.

Under the ordinances of the Councils of Philaeelphia all the street
roads of Philadelphia bave always been obliged to keep in repair the
streets on which their tracks are laid, but the ordinances which gave
the companies the authority to use the trolley system required all
the companies to repave the streets fro m curb to curb and to keep them
in repair. Under this requirement the companies have already re­
paved a large number of the streets, some with asphalt aud others with
Belgian blocks, and this work is still in progress.
The tax payments made by the companies to tbe city of Philadelphia
ar *. as follow s:
6 per cent on the excess over 6 per cent dividends paid annually.
+50 annual license fee for each car run
$50 annual license fee additional, or T?i00on each trolley cap crossing
the bridges over the Schuylkill River.
The companies also pay to the city of Philadelphia the ordinary and
general taxes and water rents on all real estate owned by them iu
Philadelphia.
The tax payments made by the companies to the State of Pennsyl­
vania are as follow s:
of 1 per cent of gross receipts payable in semi-annual instalments.
^ of 1 per cent on the average market value of the stock of the cjmpanies, the return to be made as of Dec. 3 L in each year.
The companies are also obliged by the State to deduct from the in­
terest paid on bonds of the companies held b yresiien ts of Pennsyl­
vania the uniform 4 mills tax, but this is of course not a charge against ?
the companies themselves, inasmuch as it i9 really paid by the holder
of the bonds. Th°re is no deduction for the tax on the interest on the
bonds held by non-residents of the 8tate.

From the foregoiDg recital it will, we think, be
agreed that in most instances named a fair return is
obtained from street railway companies for the privil­
eges granted to them by State and city authorities.
As to the claim iu some cases made that, iu view of the
increased value of these privileges, the payments
should be greater, we would say that (1) to establish
reasonable charges, either when the company is organ­
izing or when additional rights are granted, is the
city’s undoubted privilege, and we should say duty as
well; but (2) to attempt subsequently to levy heavye
tribute not stipulated for at the beginning, or to re­
quire lower fares where unrestricted competition exists,
or where companies are already over-taxed, is not just..
Such acts cause sudden shrinkage in the value of se­
curities in the hands of innocent holders and cast a
cloud on the city’s name for fair dealing. It is assur­
edly much to be regretted that valuable municipal
franchises have not been so handled as to afford all our
American cities the certainty of a largely increasing
revenue as time goes on, but that fact, unfortunately,
offers no excuse for such measures now as some seem
disposed to sanction.

GROW TH

In. the

we directed attention to the steady and large
growth which has occurred in recent years in the
traffic of the street railways—a degree of growth so
striking and so continuous that it seems to make the
future of such roads, as far as it is dependent upon
that one factor, very bright. Especially does this
appear to be the case when we remember that under
the new system of motive power additional sources of
traffic have been and are being created, as more par­
ticularly explained on previous occasions. In the
issue of the S u pplem en t referred to we illustrated this
growth of traffic by a statement showing the aggregate
yearly number of passengers carried by the street rail­
ways of St. Louis, bringing the statistics down to the
close of 1894. We are now able to present the figures
for tbe nine months of the current calendar year to

of electricity being used as motive power on street rail­

REPORTS.

This is one of our four Supplements. In using ihe 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 Chronicle 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
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
the amount of suburban travel a given road commands.
The Abbreviations 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.
