While the statement that theincrease in the last ten years in the North Division is only fivemillion passengers, and that the West Division has only justregained its losses since 1892, is true as to the lines of theUnion Traction Company, it is not true when applied to all ofthe surface transportation facilities of the North and FIG. 2.—DIAGRAM OF TABLE NO. 6.
