ELECTRIC RAILWAYS
IN STATE MAKE BIG
INCREASE IN DECADE

Washington, ID. C.,aJan. 22.-Pre-
liminary figures of the forthcoming
quinquennial report on the electric
railways of the state OF Colorado
have been given out by Director w
j. Harris, of the bureau of the cen
sus, department of commerce. They
were prepared under the supervision
of w. NJ. Steuart, chief statistician
for manufactures.
The statistics relate to the years
ending December 81 for 1912 and
1907. and June 80 for 1902. The
totals include the electric division of
steam road and electric light
plants operated in connection with
electric railways and not separable
tberefrom, but do not include rail-
ways under construction which had
not begun operations during the
census year.
The figures as presented for Colo.
RADIO show that during the decade
l902-1912 there were substantial
gains in the industry. The increase
OF the 16 operating companies re-
ported in 1912 over 1902 was s, or
100 per cent. and their aggregate
gross income shows an increase of
1,402,714 t19S per cent?, and their
net income increased SS67,605 (222
per cent? over 1902. The miles of
track were increased 233 600 per
cent?, and the number of revenue
passengers carried was 44,226,000
more in 1912 than in 1902, an in
crease of 104 per cent.
