Since last July the State of Massachusetts, through five trustees appointed by the Gove has been running the elevated railways of Beston on the Hearst-Hylan plan. Fares on these Boston lines have been increased fi ie The results of this experiment in Massachusetts were placed before the public of this city yesterday by The Evening World in the form of a statement from the Boston News Bureau, Among the facts and conclusions presented were the following In the four months, July to October inclusive, the § Massachusetts is already out of pocket $2,741,631.99 deficit is at the rate of $8,224,895.97 for the year. Uniess radical action is immediately taken this venture into the street railway business is going to cost the people of Massachusetts in taxes as much as the normal cost of all other State activities combined. If no shrinkage in riding results from the elght-cent fare ' now instituted, cost of service for the current elght months will exceed revenue by over $1,000,000 without considering the | $900,000 guaranteed in dividends. Every one knows, however, that the increase in fare will reduce riding. If an increased fare of 40 per cent. increased revenue but 20 per cent., an increase of 60 per cent. is not likely to increase revenue more than 30 per cent. On this bas cost of service for the current eight months will exceed rev: nues by nearly $2,000,000, and the total deficit for the elght did months will be nearly $2,900,000. There is not the shadow of a guarantee that public operation of city railroads in New York would work otherwise than it has worked | in Massachusttts. So much for the experience. | THE OPPORTUNITY. | The City of New York can make money for itself and save money | for its citizens by using its partnership with the Interborough in a} way any enterprising private corporation would be quick to see and | seize. } It can sell the surplus electric power generated by the enormous power plants of the Interborough at prices which will save millions! of dollars to consumers of electric current in this city, and at the same time put profits estimated as high as $14,000,000 annually into| the municipal treasury. | That this business opportunity, to which The Evening World has called attention, has been recognized by experts as entirely prac- tical and advantageous to the city, we have the testimony of General Manager Hedley of the Interborough as far back as the Thompson Committee investigation: “It is very apparent that if the Interborough Rapid Transit Company can in some legal form sell its surplus power, pro duced by the work of its machinery that is already bought and make anything from about $100,000 to $150,000 a year, it is good business to do it. It is good business for the City o New York tan; it would enter into the contract with the city ‘tow that it bas bought an interest in the money carned on the sabway and money earned on the elevated, so that if we could make some arrangement whereby we can make a profit out of our surplus power, why, the city participates in that profit.” second an opportunity st to seven, then to cight cents . ate of This Can this experience of another city and this neglected oppor- | tunity of their own fail to connect themselves in the minds of Neel Yorkers as they listen to financial plans and theories for solving trac- tion problems at the public expypnse? Before trying to » the situation entirely from the public| pocket, why not look around and see whether the city is getting full | value out of its intimate relations y transit corporations? If selling electric power is good and profitable business, why hasn’t it been long since contributing what it could to keop the City- Interborough partnership from going broke?
