England's City Tramways

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
The fifteenth annual report of the
tramways department of the Bradford
corporation shows remarkable delvel-
opment of the municipal tramways in
Bradford since the opening of the first
line in 1898. The annual receipts in
1899 amounted to $43,166, while in the
year ended March 81. 1918. the receipts
| amounted to s1,4s5.5se. The number of
passengers carried annually increased
in all that time from / 1,450, 900 to Co.
005,y76, or, in other words. the popu-
lation of the city has been carried 175
| times. The average distance a pas
senger may travel today for cents
| Is l6 miles. or an increase of 80 per
cent on the distance in 1898. The en-
ployes now number 1882. and the pres
ent wages average 32s ($779) per
week.
| The operating difficulties of the
Bradford tramways system is said to be
or rather extraordinary character
From the commercial point of view,
the heavy operating expenses, due to
steep gradients and constant wear and
| tear. are unavoidab ble as is also the
disadvantage of very low density of
population per route mile" In spite of
| this, however, a good service of cars
| is maintained, all dues and demands
are met. good wages are paid, and In
| addition substantial amounts are con-
| tributed annually to the relief of city
taxes, and the reserve and renewals
| tund amounts to about S437,9S5
| As to future Developments. the re-
port states tat it may be interesting
to consider what is likely to happen
to the tramways system in the next
| Is or 20 years. in which time the bulk
of the financial liability of the cor
poration, as far as its tramways are
concerned. will be paid off. The loans
| Tor tramway purposes were granted gem
| orally for 80 years. so at present near
| ly half the capital borrowed has been
repaid. The value of the system as a
transit system will be quite as high.
II not higher. at that time than it is
today, assuming that some newer and
better transit scheme does not in the
meantime come on the market, which
will render the tramways obsolete. AS
to the petrol-propelled vehicle (motor
hus), unless 1t develops more than now
seems possible 1t is not likely to su-
persede trainways in Bradford
There are to be various extensions
OF workshops stores ETC., at the Thorn
bury depot. A building for the accom-
modation of engineering machinery and
blacksmith shop is now in hand at an
estimated cost of $2S.570.
During the year the parcels DEPART
ment handled 716.157 parcels, as COM
pared with 625.914 during the previous
12 months.

Londons January 1t -(Special.)-You
