The Governments dispersal bill

but other business before the Sem

the bill on the floor, with Senator
Case OF South Dakota counted as
its chief Republican supporter.
The bill, approved 9 to l by the
Public Works Committee, would
provide for four office buildings on
sites in the Washington suburbs
to provide space for agencies with
10000 employees. 1t also would
transfer agencies or parts of agen-

downward trend, fewer miles oper-
ated and a reduction in the num-
Der of employees offset these losses
to some extent" said the report.
while we may expect a higher
level of business activity in an ex-
panding National Capital area,
its effect upon future earnings of
your company will depend a good
deal on the Government tax pro-
gram, the ability to avoid or
deal successfully with inf1ationary
trends, the plans of the national
Government to expand and, per-
haps, decentralize it's activities.
None of these developments are
certain at the time of writing this
report but we are hopeful they
will be resolved in a way that will
not affect our ability to satisfac-
torily serve the public.
173% Net Income Rise.
Total operating revenues for
1850 were $27,753,696 a decrease
of 2.30 per cent since 1949. Total
operating expenses, taxes, depre-
citation and interest charges for
1850 were $26.934,064 a decrease of
4.37 per cent as compared with the
prior year. Incorporating income
was $86,225 for 1850. Net income
for 1850 was $905,857 or $3.77 per
share of stock as compared to
$332,100 or $1.39 per share in
1949. This was an increase of
173 per cent in net income.
"a dividend of SO per share
was paid in 1880"
The report declared there was
a total cut of 1851 ,222 in street
car and bus miles during the
year. The 1949 figure was 49,
596,295 miles compared with last
years's 40,745,073 miles. The sub
stitution of buses for street cars
occurred May /, 1949 on the Ben

AS part of the economy pro-
gram, the company said last June
it discontinued the use of separate
quarters for the employment de-

and moved the personnel into the
main office at Thirty sixth and NJ

and Found Department which oc-
cupied rented quarters downtown
were shifted to the Mechanical
Department building at 1922 M

Savings in Rentals.
The move represented a con-
siderable saving in monthly rent
ais, declared the report.
In spite OF increased wage rates
the company said economies re-
suited in decreased operating exf
penses. Because of the reduced
street car and bus schedules
brought about by fewer riders, the
company declared:
Fewer vehicles were used and
the manpower necessary to MAIN
tain and service them was re-
duced. AS of the close of 1850

The Story Of Capital Tronsit
Company Increases Dividends
BY Mileage Cuts and Fare Raises

roll, compared with 4,975 at the
same time the year before"
Current fare rates, made effec-
tive by the Public Utilities Com
mission July 16 Of last year, fol-
lowing extensive hearings. are Is
cents cash; three tokens for 40
cents and 81 weekly pass. The
company unsuccessfully fought to
have the pass abolished.
Fares Called Too Low.
These fares were raised from
13 cents cash, three tokens for
25 cents and a $1.75 weekly pass.
The report declared: Present
fares are lower than those we re-
quested from the Public Utilities
Commission of the District of
Columbia and the weekly pass still
remains part of the rate structure,
despite our request to eliminate it
as an uneconomical element.
Passenger revenues, consequently
are less than those necessary to
produce a fair and reasonable re-
turn on our rate base. Passengers
revenues in 1850 were $26,810,244,
compared to $27, 7,495,137 in 1949, q
decrease of $648,893 or 2.49 per
cent.
Passenger revenues began to
drop after World War II ended in
1945. when gasoline rationing was
lifted and private automobiles
were once more obtainable.
CTC and it's predecessor COM
panies had ten fare changes from
1918 to 1947. Recent history shows
that on January 3, 1887, there was
an increase in the weekly pass
from 81 to $1.25, but no change
was then made in the 10 cash fare
or the 7l2 token fare.
On May 8. 1947, the PUG au-
thorized the company to discon-
tinue the three tokens for Is cents
and increased the weekly pass from
S1.25 to $1.5O. The dime cash fare
was continued.
On october 81, 1948, the PUG
again permitted the company tc
raise fares. This time it directed
that the cash fare should be 1a
cents, tokens three for IS cents
and boosted the weekly pass to
SITS. The three cents school fare
has remained undisturbed TO.
many years.
The company blames falling
revenues and fewer passengers on
the competition with private au-
tomobiles. They point to a similar
situation over the country.
And fare raises have been the
order of the day.
Points To Fares Elsewhere
The National Association oil
Railroad and Utilities Commits
sioners. which has headquarters
in the new Post Office Depart
ment building, points to these
l949 fare boosts, among others:
In July, 1949, the Nebraska
State Railway Commission author
lied the Omaha & Council Bluffs
Street Railway to inrcease it,
fares from 10 cash to 13 cents
cash or two tokens for Is cents
In September 1949, the Missour
Public Service Commission author.
lied the st. Louis Public Service
Co. to establish a IL cents cast
fare or three tokens for IS cents
in lieu of 10-cent cash fare
This commission also empowered
the Kansas City Public Service Co
to charge 13 cents cash or two
tokens for Is cents, where the pre-.
vious rate for IL cents cash Of
three tokens for IS cents.
