STREET RAILWAY CaPITAI.IZA
JiDN.


The Street hallway Journal presents
tabular statement Of the street car
business that will be source OF sur
prise to all who have not followed the
rapid growth of this interest, especially
since the introduction of electricity as
motive power. There are in the
United States 1855 miles of street
railway tracks, of which $50 are oper-
ated by cable. GO miles by miscellan-
eous means. 49, miles by horses and
lO,3G3 milos by electrical power. The
cars employed number fl, 476, and the
capital stock aud funded debt amount
to $1,000, COO, GOO. This averages SOC, 600
per mile Of trnck.
This capitalization is SO largo as to
create doubt 40 to its genuinenoss.
The statistics of mileage ana capitnli-
zstion nre given by States and groups
of States, but the financial figures are
not distributed among the various
motive powers, go that the compMra-
tive capitalization OF cable, trolley and
horse lines cannot be stated. In the
Now England States there are no cable
roads, and the electric roads arc moro
than seven eighths OF the whole, the
small remaining fraction being oper.
ated by horses. Hero the average cap.
tslizntion is Sc, 400. But that averages
count for very little in this case is
shown by the fact that the average for
Massachusetts is $4,000 mile, the
average for Connecticut is S53, 700 per
mile. while the average for Rhode
Island is STAG, 500 per mile.
The only section in which the oapi.
alizntion is less than in New England
is the South. This section hos ouly
elk miles Of cable line, the horse lines
are nearly third Of the electric lines.
and there are moro lines said 10 have
miscellaneous" motive power than in
any other section of the country.

In the Northwest aud Pacific section |
two thirds of the lines are electric and
the average capitalization per mile is
SGS, coo. This section, however, has n
larger cable mileage than my other |
section of the country except the Cen.
trail West. In the Central! West the
capitalization is S67, 700. The Eastern
States. extending from New York to
