NEW CAR REVENUE
SHORT Of NEEDS
W. R. & E. Co. Figures for
First Month Below
"Fair Return"

The average daily revenue of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company during November was $13,-
95S.O2. as compared with S12.7S5.57 a
day during October, when the scent
fare was in effect, the company an
nOunced today.
These figures show that during the
first month of the new rate of fare the
company's increase in revenue aver
aged S1,172.45 a day.
If this increase should continue
throughout the year it would amount
to S427,944.25. This would be only
about half of the $4,000 additional
revenue which the utilities commits
sion estimated the company needed
to earn 6 per cent return on It's val
uation.
Fair Turnover Not Met.
In other words. if the increase in
revenue during the year is no more
than it was in November, according
to the companys figures. the present
rate of fare will not enable the com
pany to earn what the commission
regards as a fair return over operat-
ing expenses.
The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company during November car
ried approximately 219.426 passen-
gers a day. compared with a daily
average of 1885 in October. This
