GROWTH
Electric Railways Look
to Future With
Optimism.
By ED II. KIFER

vice president and general manager "a
tho San Antonio Public Service company.
Electric railways are looking to the
future with optimism. Many Of them
have been and are still facing stormy
weather, but, as the dust clears over
the general upheaval in urban trans-
portation, the trolley seems more
firmly implanted than ever. Jitney
competition, which closely followed
the development of the automobile.
had its fleeing hour. The peopls
themselves have outlawed the jitney.
The competitive bus is still having
short inning, but such competition
with the electric street railway will
ultimately have the same effect as
Jitney competition. Where bus SER
vice is necessary or desirable, it
seems that the electric street railway
is the agency through which it is to
be supplied. Experiments have
demonstrated that our present motor
bus cannot supplant the trolley. Two
or three cities have tried it with un-
satisfactory results, but the fact that
nearly 1000 buses are in use or or
dered by electric street railways, in
dicates that the bus may have
definite place as an adjunct TO the
street car.
TRAFFIC. INCREASES.
t+The development of the private
automobile as a passenger car has
made serious inroads upon the earn
ings of the electric railway industry.
About fourteen years ago, there
were only 100000 passenger auto
mobiles registered and today there
are approximately 20,000,OOO regis
tered in the United States. San An
tonic, with good roads and an ideal
climate, has enjoyed a normal in
crease in the use Of passenger auto
mobiles. However, it is pleasing to
those in the street railway industry
to know that passenger traffic has
continued to increase. In 1911, for
instance, the San Antonio Street
Railway carried approximately &C.
100000 people, and while the figures
for 1925 are not completed. it id
estimated that at least 100000
passengers were carried during this
year. Based on the increase in
population, the number of passengers
carried should have doubled. This
period was one of rising costs in all
lines. The selling price of street
car rides was fixed on a pre-war
basis, and electric railways found
many difficulties in bringing about
fare adjustments.

SEES
BIC YEAR FOR
WEST TEXAS
Irrigation and Flood Con-
troll Projects Planned
for 1926.

From the standpoint of prosperity,
West Texas is in for the greatest
year in its history, Ray Lehman,
southwestern manager of the West
Texas Chamber Of Commerce, pre-
diets.
"And one Of the things that should
be of big interest to San Antonians
is that West Texans are looking
forward to the opening Of the port of
Corpus Christi with the idea of using
it as shipping point for most of
their products. San Antonio natural
ly is the gateway to Corpus Christi,
which means that it will reap the
benefit of the trade that necessarily
must pass through here" Lehman
gaid.
WILL IRRIGATE LAND
The outstanding projects planned
for West Texas in 1926 are her ir-
rigation and flood control projects.
Two hundred thousand acres of
land have been put under irrigation
in the Wichita Falls territory and an
additional $4,000 acres will be added
to this in 1926, according to Lee
man. A plan is on foot in Amarillo
to utilize the waters OF the Canadian
river.
The West Texas Chamber of Com
merce is actively engaged in a fight
on the destruction of harmful insects,
especially Southwestern corn borer.
District conventions are slated to
be held in eight towns by the West
Texas Chamber Of Commerce. Plans
will be worked out at these conven-
tons for the development of West
Texas towns. Leeman said.
WILL IMPORT FINE HOGS
AS part of its 1925 program, the
West Texas Chamber Of Commerce
will sponsor the importation of fine
hogs. 1t is hoped this will arouse
the interest of the farmers in a bigger
and better hog industry.
Throughout the year the West Tex
as Chamber of Commerce will send ex-
hibits Of the products of West Texas
to all parts of the country.
Farming conditions in West Texas
are better than they have been for
a long time and with the rain that
has fallen during the winter, every
thing points to the harvesting Of
heavy crop next fall, Lehman stated.
