INDUSTRY TAR|VES
Record Year Reported for
Urban and Interurban

Special Dispatch TO The Star
NEW YORK, January 21.-The cleo
trio railway industry in 1929 earned the
largest net revenue in its history and
carried almost $4,000. 900 900 passengers
in the year just closing. The industry
will spend this year for new plant and
equipment, maintenance and materials
a total Of 1911 400 900, Electric Railway
Journal reports, in making public
survey just completed. The budget fol-
1929 was 1857, AS, 900.
The total gross revenue of the cleo
trio railways in 1929 was 81 100, 900 600
gain of S20,000,000 over 1928. The
total net income for 1929 was S83,-
600 ,000.s which sum compared with $7S,-
00O, 900 for 1928. Capital invested in the
urban and interurban lines as 1880 gets
under way totals to $500 900 900, the
survey shows.
The GIL electric railway companies In
the United States employ 100000 per-
sons and last year paid them operating
wages aggregating $424,000 900. These
employees rendered service over 42431
miles of track. The companies operate
1884 buses and own 100,255 cars and
locomotives. They operated more than
2,000, 900 900 revenue car miles In 1929
a gain of 10000 900 over 1928. The to-
tai of passengers carried was 1880
10000. A total of 100000 900 revenue
bus miles was operated by the lines.
Car Purchases.
Car and car-equipment purchases In
1880, the survey report shows, will con-
tinue the expenditure gains noted In
1929. For that year the companies
spent $2S.710,000 for new cars and car
equipment. This year they will spend q
minimum Of sal 100000. These figures
compare with the $18 900 900 outlay for
new cars and car equipment in 1928
The companies expended Ssl 900 900

1929. For power equipment the COM
paries plan expenditures totaling So
$4,000 this year. Last year their out
lay for power equipment was $3.50 900
In view Of the somewhat disturbed
condition Of general business brought
about by the recent market crash"
comments Electric Railway Journal in
summarizing the survey statistics. "the
figures Of 1929 and the forecast for $780,
both showing increases, are of real sig
niflcance. They emphasize again the
fundamental stability Of the electric
railway industry and its relative i'm
rnunity to fluctuations in trade. Ex-
penditures for the past year were not
curta1led in any instance and most of
the electric railways reporting showed
increases for 1880.
Improvement In Design.
with the great improvements In car
design of the past few years and the re-
assurance that local transportation can
not be dispensed with, many properties
have gone ahead with rehabilitation
plans. It was stated in 1928 that the
purchasing power of the industry was
being restored rapidly and that steady
climb could be looked for In the follow
ing years. This forecast was borne out
In 1929 and In the budgets for $780,"
