Gentlemen: - the following communication filed with the Board July South Bend & Northern Indiana Railway Company. South Bend, Indiana. July 12th., 1920. As requested by your Board, I beg to submit herewith my report on the extension of street railway tracks on Sample Street froze Kosciusssko Street to Olive Street. ANALYSIS OF EXTENSION OF STREET RAILWAY TRACK ON SAMPLE STREET'FROM KOSCIUSZKO STREET TO OLIVE STREET. Length of extension 2400 ft. Cost of paved track $20250 " " Add it ional passing track P500 " " Overhead line 2500 TOTAL COST OF CONSTRUCTION $26250 V on above (cost of•money) 1837.50 COST OF OPERATION FOR ONE YEAR OF ONE ADDITIONAL CAR OVER THE.NUMBER NOW IN USE.F Wages $5172.80 Cost of Maintenance of car equipment @ 3 cts . per car mile 1723.92 Cost of power @ .035 per car mile 2011,24 COST OF OPERATION $8907.96 7% interest on investment 1837.50 $10745.46 Note: No account taken of •cost oia accidents, insurance or overhead expense. Therefore the extension must produce in new business over and above what would be accommodated by the line stepping • at Kod.sdxiszks Street $10745.46 to pay for actual cost of operation. $10745.46 .-- 214909 revenue passengers per year. POPULATION The tracks of the New York Central Railroad Company are a natural barrier to prevent people 1 iv ing north of the tracks from going toward Sample Street for street car service. There would be a number of people however living north of the tracks in the vicinity of Olive Street who would undoubtedly do south on Olive to take cars. This nuber cannot be determined with any accuracy. The population between the New York Central tracks and Sample Street west of Pulaski is 350. There is no riding population south of Sample Street west of Rulaski as this is occupied by Oliver Factory Sites. There is a scattered population west of Olive Street which would be served by the extension. The developement of the tract between Grant Street and Olive Street and between Indiana Avenue and Prairie Avenue will not reach the point of building houses until 1921. In this development there are 400 lots on which it is expected houses will be built. The Oliver tract west of Kosciuszko Street and south of Sample Street will not be platted in the near future. CONCLUSIONS. It has been shown that to pay the actual cost on the investment and the operation of the extens ions from Kosciuszko Street to Olive Street will require 214909 revenue passengers per year. At the present time there is not a sufficient. population to produce this number' of passengers. However, if next. year the development of prop rty immediately west of Olive and south of Sample Street is carried out, it is probable that a sldff iennt populat ion would result to warrant the extension of the line. In this report we have considered only the extension of street' car facilities from Kosciuszko Street to Olive Street as we have prev fouls ly agreed to extend the street railway tracks from Walnut Street to Kosciuszko Street. On account of present high costs of construction and on account of its impaired f inane ial condition, this c ompagy cannot make any, definite promise in regard to making the extanddon from Kosciuszko Street to Olive Street. Yours.very truly, CHICAGO,SOUTH BEND & NORTHERN UND IANA RY. CO. ° BY R. R.
