EARNINGS OF FULL-TME ELECTRICCLASSIFIED ACCORDING TO POPULA- Operating earnings From passengers From chartered cars From freight, mail, and express From sale of electric current for light and powerFrom miscellaneous sources Total. FINANCIAL OPERATIONS. 69 The proportion which passenger earnings bear to thetotal earnings depends primarily on the amount of in-come from light and power, and it is therefore quitedifferent, in some of the population groups, when elec-tric surface companies without lighting plants are con-sidered alone, from that which appears for all classesof companies combined, including those selling lightand power in a commercial way. For all companies theproportion of passenger earnings to total earnings isgreatest in the centers of more than 600,000 population,and, decreasing with population, becomes smallest inthose of less than 25,000 inhabitants. The receipts from chartered cars in all classes ofurban centers are exceedingly small. The item ofearnings from chartered cars is of somewhat greatersignificance on interurban railways, constituting four-tenths of 1 per cent of the total earnings of fast, longinterurban railways and three-tenths of 1 per ce
