FeWest Passengers Hauled
With One Exception in
History of Commission.
GRADUAL DECLINE SHOWN
DURING LAST 10 YEARS
Capital Traction Carried 1891 ,440
and W. R. E. 4,756,739-Dime
Fare Partly Blamed for Drop.

Revenue passengers carried by Wash
ington's two street car systems during
August dropped to the lowest levels in
the history of the Public Utilities Com
mission, with one exception, according
to chart showing the fluctuations
prepared by Earl v. Fisher, secretary
to the commission. The history of the
commission goes back to 1918. The ex[
ception is the Summer of 1917 during
the strike of the trainmen Of the WASH
ington Railway e. Electric Co. In that
time the Washington Railway g. Elec-
trio Co.'S figures dwindled to practically
nothing and the Capital Traction fig
ures shot over the top of the chart.
In August, 1880, the Capital Traction
Co. carried total of 1851 ,440 pay pas
Sengers and the Washington Railway g.
Electric Co., 4,755,739, or a total of
8,447,179 for the two companies. Com
parable figures for August, 1929 and
1928. are:
49,, ,ooo OF; Go: w.R&E Total;
August, 1875. [,sSS,5ss 5,4ss,5i5 S,7S9,ioo
The chart shows striking variations
in the passengers carried from month
to month"; and August is always one Of
the low months. The peaks In every
year occur during the Midwinter
months, January and December and
March.
On the whole, the chart shows a more
or less gradual decline since 1920, which
was the peak year for both companies.
The decline of more than a million pay
passengers in the month Of August rep
resentS partially the effect of the 10
cent fare. This was the first full month
in which the fare was In effect. It was
IN effect eight days during July, and
both companies showed sharp declines
compared with July. Capital Traction
pay passengers dwindled from 401l,-
584 to 1891 ,440, and Washington Rail-
day from 5,590,763 to 4,755,739.
