ration of the value of using both bases can, per-haps, best be illustrated by a comparison between one of thecity and one of the suburban lines. The city line (theKaighns Avenue line) has receipts of 21.46 cents per car mileand $1.24 per car hour, while the suburban line has receipts of14.69 cents per car mile and $1.90 per car hour; in other words, Camden & Suburban \u t<aiiway ^0. ri , Day ~„ Oh.^M V,. ./,„. ; POWER HOUSE DAILY CHART ./ v/loj. 1) Uu.:.l.: (_■ ■ y COM IH SIOCII P«»IOUJL»«ErORTtD_ ..2 J.

If the carmile basis alone was taken the suburban line would, perhaps,be considered unprofitable compared with the usual standard asto receipts per car mile, whereas thecar-hour basis shows that the line isquite a profitable one Another valuable use of the car-hourbasis, as found in analyzing expensesin Camden, is that, being a guide to thelabor cost, it calls attention to the lay-over expenses. A short or a long lay-over does not affect the wear and tearof the car or power cost, both of whichin Camden are worked out on a car-mile basis, but does enter directly intothe labor cost which, on lines operatingat different speeds, can best be figured is the truck number, rather than the car number, as the sametruck is frequently used under se
