the following communication TO The

The official report Of the
municipal street railway IN San
Francisco for 1914 shows that
the entire revenue derived from
fares was $1,15943s and that
nearly all of this came from the
single item of sl,136,623 for car
rying passengers at hve-cent
fare.
The report shows that the
company cleared. above all ex-
penses, s112,475 for the year.
The line IS new, the cars and
equipment are new and need
very little attention at this
time The fare Is straight Ave

price TOR tracks that are worn
