POiN. OF Niirngc
The annual report of the Massachusetts
Galway commission reveals a peculiar
condition. in the street railroad business
oi that state. says the ST. Louis Republic
:, IN proportion to area aud population
massachusetts has greater mileage of
street railroads than any other State WITH
,ho pressure OF population, TO which is due
inns heavy mileage. there usually comes a
cheapening OF the cost OF operation and n
consequent demand for a reduction I'm the
rates OF transportation. Following this
supposaply well established economic law.
there should also BIO noticeable somc an
probable lessening of tn. coat of constr~r
tloh, equipment and maintenance. But the
report OF the railway commission does NOT
SNOW that THIS relation OF Industrial fnc
TORS ana economic principles has been prc-
served In Massachusetts. wherefore tbero
Is some interest to economic students In
'ne hsures contained in the commissIon's
report
The report shows that the average cost
OF construction OF the leading street rail-
