Electric Railroads.

ELECTRIC hdIiFO2QS.
The managing officers Of our cleo
trio railroads advise us that the in
crease in cost of materials and sup
plies, in electric current for operating
purposes and the wages of all classes
of employees has so far outrun any
increase in business as to make ne
cessary the most rigid economies, the
cutting down of maintenance to alb
solute necessities and upon some
lines an increase in fares.
Some Of the railroads have cut
out number of trips and in this way
reduced expenses. A few have in
creased fares without serious objec-
ton upon the part of heir patrons.
The Bangor Railway & Electric
Company was permitted to increa Sc
the fare between Bangor and Orcno
from Is to 90 cents. the distance be-
ing approximately Is miles, resulting
in an average fare Of About one cent
a mile prior to the increase.
The Lewiston, Augusta 6, Water
vile Street Railway increased its
| fare between Lewiston and Bath
| from 35 to so cents, the distance he
ing approximately so miles. 1t
sought to make this increase by add
ing to the seven fare zones already
existing three others. making 10 in all
under the new arrangement and alb
solutely changing the limits of each
of the existing zones. The form of the
change brought forth storm of pro-
test all along the line and we re-
ceived two complaints. one relating
to the zones and fares from Lewis
ton towards Brunswick and the other
to zones and fares from Brunswick
towards Lewiston. The protest was
not so much against a reasonable in
crease If the same was shown to be
necessary as it was against the
changing of established zones and
the increase to certain patrons of as
much as 100 per cent. Counsel for
| the compliments in each case sug-
gested that if an increase was found
to be necessary the existing fare lin
it's should be left as they had been
for many years and any increase be
equally applied within each limit. to
the end that the burden should be
borne by each passenger rather than
! having it all borne by some.

if each manufacturing establishme Mt
during the daylight hours when the
lighting customer has no use for cur
rent. could be filling in the 'holluw'
places in the utility conpany's bust
ness by using large amounts of cur
rent. the average householder would
obtain his electricity at price
which would tend to change his
present conviction that he is each
month paying an amount nearly
equal to the national debt.
"Of course there is another side to
the matter. To Immediately e'ectrify
each steam railroad would involve an
almost impossible sum. 1t is claimed
that the expenditure necessary to &C
complish this result would nearly
double the present capitalization of
each railroad. AS illustrative of the
expense. an electrical locomotive
costs around $4,000 to bear the
weight of increased tonnage to be
hauled all existing rails would have
to be replaced with much heavier
ones, for the reason that each train
would consist of practically double
the number of cars now hauled: and
complete electrification would eat I'D
an additional large sum of morey.
This dream will probably not be i'm
mediately realized. But with the
present and probable future almost
prohibitive price of coal the activities
as we'll as the thought Of our railroad
operators and our manufacturers
will turn to electrical energy. and
some day Names water power will
come into its own.
Steam Railroads.
NO actual increase ic the mileuge
Of steam railroads has been made
during the past year. This hardly
the time when any such increase
could be reasonably be expected.
War conditions have entered into and
materially affected the home and
business of each citizen. The rail-
roads have been peculiarly influ-
enced, for while the gross business
and consequent gross revenue has
largely increased, the expense of
operation have shown ar unexpected
an unavoidable advance. This lat
ter increase has been Que to several
causes. among them being the ad-
vance in wages under The Acamson
law; increase in wages of employees
not affected by this law; an IN
precedented advance in the price of
materials due in part az least to the
demands of the federal government
for war supplies; an enormous in.
crease in fuel prices. due in part to
the Withdrawal of water carriage and
the inability to get coal in accord.
