NEW YORK, May America_in 1924 took approximately 16,000,000,000 rides on electric railways in various forms of local transportation, or about 145 rides for each inhabitant of the United States, it is shown in figures published vesterday by the American Electric Railway Association, cover- ing properties representing 85 per cent of the revenue produced by such carriers. This is a decrease of about 1 per cent from the record figures for 1923. The compilation shows that for the same period such basic industries as fron and steel, automobiles and steam rallways fell much farther behind their 1923 figures. The 1 per cent loss for the electric carrfers is blamed on a slump in the Summer of 1924.
