Capital Earnings at $4,073 Against $11,796 Loss in January, 1936. BY EDWARD C. STONE. Bad weather in January played an unusually vital part in cutting net earnings" of the Capital Transit Co. to $4,073.73 for the month, when both company officials and stockholders ( had hoped for a better showing. Net Income, however, disclosed a gain of $15,870.48 over January. 1936, when the company went into the red by $11,796.75. There were five Sundays in January this year, against only four in the same month a year ago. Traffic drops 50 per cent or more on Sundays, so an extra holiday of this kind makes quite a dent in Capital Transit’s total in come. It will also be recalled that rain fell , on something like 20 days during January this year. This fact had lit tle to do with regular dally traffic, but had a great deal to do with extra riders, who go abroad in good weather. While the company had heavy snow bills in January a year ago. which were not recorded this year, the rec ords show’ that riding greatly in creases during storms, as so many automobiles are snowbound. Their owners take to the street cars and busses. The presidential inauguration also proved disappointing in traffic re turns. There was a lot of riding, but thousands and thousands of Wash ingtonians remained at home w’ho I would have ventured out on a warm,' fc clear day and poured their money into r the fare boxes on the Capital Transit lines. The first month since the change from the $1 passes to the $1.25 passes had no striking results. Fewer weekly passes were sold by the company, but naturally token sales showed an in crease. One largely offset the other as far as the January report reveals. Operating Revenues Higher. Capital Transit's operating revenues in January totaled $895,484.77, as compared with 5834,017.23 in Janu ary a year ago, an increase this year ^ cf $61,469.54 or 7.4 per cent. Operating expenses required $681, 677.47, an advance of $19,381.77 or 2 9 per cent. Taxes called for $66. 284.34. an increase of $14,222.24 or ' more than 27 per cent. Depreciation totaled $90,673.35, against $81,268.74 a year ago, and upturn of $9,404 61 or 11.6 per cent. These three expense items combined amounted to $838,635.16. in compari son with $795,626.54, an increase of $43,008.62, or 5.4 per cent, leaving a net income from operations of S56, 849.61, against $38.390 69 in January, 1936. a gain of $18,458.92, or 48.1 per cent. Non-operating income was 11 per cent lower than last year. Gross was up 41 per cent to $61 009 47. The usual deductions from gross for in terest payments, etc., were higher, $56,935.74 vs. $54,876.56. Revenue passengers carried on cars and busses totaled 13.620.455. the number a year ago being 13.382,849, making an in crease this year of 237.606, or 1.8 per cent, the report states. January Gas Net Income Off. Net Income of the Washington Gas Light Co. in January totaled $126,040, In comparison with $155,244 in Jan uary. 1936, a drop of $29,204, the monthly report filed with the Public Utilities Commission today revealed. The figures include those of the Georgetown Gas Light Co. before the merger took place. ■ Net operating revenues for January cf $729,925 compared with $789,384 a year ago. a decrease of $59,459. the decline being caused by much warmer weather this year than last. A year ego it was bitter cold in January and patrons used a great deal of gas to Bupply extra heat. While there was a slump in operating income, the com pany reduced operating expenses by j $29,659. The company reports gas sales of | 1,050 million cubic feet for January, [ 1937, compared with 1,142 million cubic feet last year. This decline in volume clearly shows the effect of the 13 de gree higher average temperature this January over last year. At the end of the month, the company had 144.902 meters in service in the District of Columbia, a gain of 7,417 over January last year. The annual report of the State Mu tual Life Insurance Co. of Worcester, Mass., just received here, shows a gain of more than 13 per cent in new paid business for the year 1936. The Jk total amount of insurance in force T of $573,466,992 represented a gain in this account for the first year in sev eral. A substantial gain in assets of the company increased the total assets to $169,151,604. The surplus of the company stood at $10,251,165. The Wilner & Wilner agency of this city also showed gains in business dur ing the year with 28 per cent in creased new production. The local >gency stood in third place of all the other agencies of the company in its •-persistency rate" of 93.36 per cent. Bank Women Note Anniversary.
