CITY OPERATED
TROLLEY LINES
Report Shows TraCkIess Sys-
tenn is Being Operated at
Loss to City Treasury

FOTTENVILLE, Feb. 27.-In the
report of the commissioner of ac-
counts examination of the chamber
lain's office just made public, it is
shown that the city operated trolley
and trackless trolley lines are being
run at a loss, as are the municipal
ferry lines. The report shows that
the receipts from the Staten Island
and Midland Railroad Company
e $297,370.69, and payments for
operation and maintenance were
$161 ,172.58.
That the receipts from the track
less trolleys on Staten Island were
$34,618.35 and payments for opera
ton and maintenance were $42,369.-
80. To meet these deficits the city
as in the case of the municipal fer
RES, has to appropriate funds which
come from the taxpayers and rent
payers.
thile 1t has been known that thu.
Lkless trolleys operating between
Richmond and Tottenville have lot
been a paying proposition since they
began running the first of Novem-
Der last year to the city's treasury
1t has doomed that section of the
island in the way of real estate and
business, thus bringing returns to
the city and taxpayers in that way.
Since the trackless trolleys were
opened along the west shore of the
island between the former county
seat and Tottenville there has been
a great benefit not only to the resi-
dents of that section of the island
getting to and from the various
towns lying along the shore, but it
has been a great boom to business
in all sections.
Real estate values have also taken
an upward course and many dwell
llngs and stores are being erected
along the line to meet the demand
of the people.
