4 REMARKABLE INCREASE.

Eight years ago there were about six
ty street railroad corporations in the
State of Pennsylvania, Now there are
over five hundred. A similar increase
has taken place in several other States,
and all over the country there has been
a tremendous growth in the number and
portant a place these railroads occupy
in q. financial way is indicated by the
Street Railway journal, which has col
lected the facts of mileage, cars, stock
and funded debt of all the street rail-
roads of the country. 1t appears that
the capital liabilities of all the compa-
MES in the land amount to $1,000, 1879, I'll.
That figure covers, of course, both fund
ed debts and amounts of capital stock
outstanding. The face value of the
stock is 1904, 2o6, and of the indebt-
edness $552, 1875, sos. The total mileage is
IL, 1888 miles. OF this mileage 1888 miles
are of electrical operation, 632 miles ca
BILE, 1914 horse and lab miscellaneous. :"
There are A, 745 cars in use, and 976 sep
arate roads are in operation. 1t is cas-
lily figured out that the per mile liabil-
tiles of the roads amount to s95, 900, that
there are about three cars and a quar-
ter to each mile of track, and that the
bonded indebtedness of the companies
is about S40,6OO per mile.
1t is interesting to notice that the
value of all the steam railroad securi-
ties outstanding in this country is $10,-
796, 473, 813. The stock forms $4,S34,0 75,-
$50 of this amount, and the bonded in
debtedness $4,5s3, 1881, 745. From these
| figures it is seen that the street rail.
roads already carry capital liabilities
| equal to one-eighth of all the obliga
tons of the steam traffic lines, ant
| have more than one-seventh as much
stock outstanding. And the value o
their stock is considerably more thar

| Electricity has done it. The electric
lines now constitute more than seventy
five per cent. of all the street railroad:

= sun-sTDEWALK RAILROAD.

"A novel plan for a sub-sidewalk rail-
road, to take the place OF elevated
roads for rapid transit, has been de-
signed by a Chicago inventor who
claims great advantages for his new
system. He has secured the backing or
considerable capital for his scheme.
and the city government will be asked
to grant conditional franchise in order
to allow a fair trial Of the merits of the
plan. The road, as its name implies,
is to be built under the sidewalks of
the street, the space required being
only eight feet in width and eight feet
In height. At the curb line a wall is
laid from one end of the street to the
other. Under the other side of the
walk the curb wall Is paralleled with
a. stone foundation for posts and a
fence. On this foundation and on the
base of the curb wall rails are laid.
Iron columns are set on the inner wall,
supporting Orders level with the top
of the curb-wall, and marking the line
between the sidewalk proper and the
so-called area space. A wire fence
connects the posts and separates the
railroad from the area space. This
space will be for stairways and entrance
to Easements. With the curb-wall,
Orders and bases of buildings for sup
port, prismatic walk is laid for the
purpose Of admitting light into the
space below. Electricity is to be the
motive power. The speed, the plan
sets forth, will not be less than thirty
miles an hour, and may in some cases
be as high as sixty miles an hour One
of the advantages claimed for the road
| is that it will convert the Easements
Of buildings into valuable property
This, and other circumstances, 1t il
believed, would make the property.
| owners readily give their consent to the
construction Of the road. The speed
! will be at least three times as great az
| that of the cable lines and twice as
great as that Of the elevated roads
/ Moreover, the snow and wind will bt
| kept from the road by its roof, and will
not, therefore, interfere with the regu
larity of its running.
