This is considerably in excessof the figures in the last tabulation. This does not follow, however, as manypassengers do not check baggage. The above information does not include the baggage transferred betweenthe Southern Pacific and the Pacific Electric. The latter does practically allthe local baggage business in the cities in the vicinity of Los Angeles. Thenext tabulation shows the extent of baggage transferred between these tworoads based on an eight-day count in September. 1918:. FIG. 05. FAR(;0 AMI TOMIANV KXIMIESS STATION ATFOl KTH A M> fKNTRAI.
