~ OY NAY YET BUY. § | RAPID TRANSIT ~~ AONEY {OSE Its B. & O. Ownership May Explain New Desire for a Moribund Concern. A movement is under way to have the city buy, 0: ©, the old Staten Island Rapid Raliway tine from St. George to Tottenvillc Unable to compete with the aute mobile and trackless troliey the pas senger division of this company’s line has, for years, been unprofitable and] , is probably responsible for the yearly] ¢ deficit reported by the entire line Tals includes freight lines used by the Lastimore and Ohio Rallway Com which controls the Staten Rapid Transit Railw through 100 per cent. s ship. Now that the plans of Mayor Hy Jan's Administration call for the ex penditure of $3,000,000 more for von- struction of 118.53 miles of trackless {roliey lines on Staten Island, the Sta- ten Island Rapid Transit Railway Company ts confronted by a still more imminent prospect of falling p: revenues. When County Judge and Surrogate J. Harry Tiernan recently uppeares before the Board of Estimate and urged the purchuse, or by the ety of the passenger of the Staten Island Papid ‘Transit Com- Ber pany’s steam line, he did so upon the ground that the road could be electri fied and used as a main line and that the trackless troliey could be used as feeders to it. A, G. cher, Presi dent of the South Protective Aasociation, also advanced the pro. posal thut ways and means should be found by the city to take over the steam railroad now operating on Sta ten Island. Organized in 1861 the Staten Island Railway Company began operations in 1869, went brankrupt in 1871 and later went through a series of reorganizu- tions. It became the Staten Island Rapid Transit Railroad Company in 1880 and was sold under foreclosure in 1899 to the Staten Island Rapid Tran- sit Railroad Company. The capital stock of this company, including refunding mortgage und other long-term debts, is $6,075,000. ‘This, however, includes all divisions of the line. The 27.91 miles of double passenger track, from Clifton to Tot- tenville, represent a total capital, in- cluding debts, of $1,687,472.60. ‘The actual capital stock outstand- ing, covering this passenger line, 1s $1,050,000. Records of the ‘Transit Commission show that only $210,000 in cash was in reality ever paid for this stock. The remainder was cov- ered by entries of ‘‘cash value of the other property acquired’? and ‘‘cash value saris received.’ The company reports that it has no records of what these entries signify. The company places its total prop- erty investment in the passenger line at $1,614,105.42. Of this about $600, 900 represents equipment comprising ld locomotives, cars and other pos- sessions. In former years the Staten Island Hapld Transit Rallway Company paid good dividends, ranging from 6 per cent. in 1908-1911 to 20 per cent in 1916. Ia recent years there have been deficits, No dividends were paid in 1919, 1920 and 1921. In 1920 there was a deficit of $161,685.51, and in 1921 the company received a helping contribution of $562,259.51, presum- ably from the Baltimore and Ohio Railway Company.
