Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Twenty-Ninth Annual Report of the Railroad and Warehouse Commission of Illinois: Railroads, for the Year Ending June 30, 1899; Grain Inspection Department, October 31, 1899; Office Expenses, December 1, 1899
The figures shown in the comparative tables of this report in ref erence to passenger and freight traffic in Illinois, for the same rea sons as those stated in relation to earnings and income in Illinois Of the passenger and freight departments, are very unsatisfactory and incomplete. We have delayed this report to try and perfect these tables with some degree of success and accuracy, so far as the report has been made. Some of the large lines make no report as to the number of passengers carried in Illinois, but with such data as we have been able to secure we find that the number of passengers carried by the roads reporting this information was that the average distance carried was miles; that the passenger earnings per mile was and that the average amount received from each passenger carried was This is for the steam roads entering the State.
The number of passengers carried by the elevated and inter-urban lines was the average distance carried was miles; the average amount received from each passenger was 55004978, and the earnings of these roads per mile was This statement is absolutely correct so far as the elevated and inter-urban lines of the State are concerned, and is certainly complete.
