He said the company has been

But there are fewer track gangs

Major Economies Cited. -
"These are the major economies
that have been accomplished" he
declared.
They include, in part, the re-

of our car divisions that was made
; possible by the consolidation OF
two divisions into one. &

to authorize CTC to issue 100000

Among the economies effected

terial reductions in bus and
streetcar miles, fewer employees
and the giving up of rented space
all this has saved the new man
agement of the Capital Transit
leo. many thousands of dollars
annually.
The Florida investors group,
headed by Louis E. Wolfson. took
over control of the company in
September, 1949.
In May, the latest month for
which figures are available, the
Public Utilities Commission said
CTC operated 1,223,728 streetcar
miles and 2,081,812 bus miles.
In May, 1949. shortly before
the new management took over
the company ran 1,416,543 street.
car miles and 2,285, $50 bus miles
One of the greatest economies
the company has effected recently
is in refraining from purchasing
new streetcars and buses. There
are 106 streetcars of the older
conventional type and 500 of the
newer streamlined vehicles - q
total of 615. The company has
945 buses.

The company has acquired nc
streetcars since 1945; but, in that
year, it got 125. It has acquired
no buses since 1949, when il
bought los new buses. 1t had pur-
chased so new buses in each o1

Mr.. Heberle pointed out that
between 1887 and 1941, the com.
pany purchased 232 streetcars ane
BOG buses.
Mileage Cut. -
while there have been some
increases in mileage due tx
Ichanges in routing during the pas
two years, the company has foune
lit possible to reduce its miles tt

For the IL months ended Octo
her 81, 1850, the total vehicle mile
operated was about 51a per cen
below the total for the year 1948
This, of course, resulted in CORE

Because of drastic increases il
