Some interesting statistics of street.
car business were brought out at Q
meeting held in Boston recently. to form
national association of street-car obi
GERS. There are now doing business In
this country and Canada 415 street rail-
ways, employing about 35. 600 men
They run 1900 cars, and more than
loo, ,00o horses are in daily use. Calcu-
lating that the average life of q horse in
street-railway service is four years, it
makes the consum otion of horses 25, 600
per year. To feed this vast number of
horses requires annually 15o. 600 tons of
hav and 11.000, 900 bushels of grain.
The, companies own and operate over.
5000 miles of track. The whole num-
Der OF passengers carried annually is
over PIP, 40J, 1000. The amount OF cap
ital invested exceeds $50. 000, 600
