GRADUAL DECLINE SHOWN DURING LAST 10 YEARS Capital Traction Carried 3,691,440 and W. R. E. 4,755,739—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 a chart showing the fluctuations prepared by Earl V. ' to the commission. The history of the commission goes back to 1913. The ex: ception is the Summer of 1917 during the strike of the trainmen of the Wash- ington Railway & Electric Co. In that time the Washington Rallway & Elec- tric Co.'s figures dwindled to practically nothing and the Capital Traction fig- ures shot over the top of the chart. In August, 1930, the Capital Traction Co. carried a total of 3,691,440 pay pas- sengers and the Washington Railway & Electric Co., 4,755,739, or a total of 8,447,179 for the two companies.

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- Tesents partially the effect of the 10- cent fare. This was the first full month effect el ays ) 8N both companies showed sharp declines in passengers carried in August compared with July.
