"To provide this service, the report says, "a total of 54,525,633 car miles were operated. The fact that 5306 trains, or a total of 18,320 cars, were operated each 24 hours, gives a further impression of the service. This is a greater number of trains than enter and leave Chicago in all the steam railroad passenger service in the entire city." The average length of rides by pas- sengers on the Rapid Transit lines is 63 miles. The average speed of ex- press trains is 181% miles per hour. On some of the fast runs the speed is at the rate of 24 miles an hour. Gross revenues for 1925--the com- bined operating and non-operating revenues--were $19,281,887.86, continues the report. This is an increase of $505,954.51 over the previous year. Total expenses, including taxes and $241,- 906.92 for retirement reserve, were $14,967,509.33, or $199,600.42 less than the year before. Operate Under Handicap "While the number of passengers carried on the Elevated Lines in 1925 showed an increase," the report states, "the ill effects of the handicap of in- adequate Loop terminal facilities, not only as respects the company's ability to fully meet the rapid transportation needs, but also upon business and the city's general development, became in- creasingly apparent.

PLUMBING CONTRACTORS 874 Center St. Winnetka 1260 "The company put into effect the only remedy available to it in the ex- tending of Loop platforms to accom- modate six and eight-car trains. This as proved of considerable benefit in the rush hour periods, but far from meets the situation. "In September, 1924, the Company requested the City for permits to ex- tend all station platforms so as to | allow their consent to construct about | 40 miles of specified elevated exten- | sions, estimated to cost approximately | $31,500,000. If such consent is obtain- ed, it is the Company's intention to commence the work of constructing the extensions without delay and to complete the same as soon as practi- cable. "In addition to this, the company, in order to obtain much needed addi- tional capacity for handling passengers in the central business district, has proposed to the City council that if the city would build and grant the company the use of a rapid transit subway running from Twenty-second street north through the Loop district to North avenue and connecting at both ends with the Elevated lines, the company stood ready to enter into an agreement to pay to the city for the use of such subway a fair compensa- tion either by way of fixed rental or a division of earnings. "The use of such a subway would enable the company, during the rush periods, to carry about twice the num- ber of passengers it is now capable of carrying in such periods in and through the loop." Dan Connolly to Enter Local Political Arena Petitions are being circulated for the candidacy of Dan Connolly for the office of Village Marshal and Collec- tor, of which office Theodore Flynn is the present incumbent. Mr. Con- nolly's friends are making an active preliminary campaign in his behalf and the petitions to have his name in- serted on the ticket are rapidly filling. Mr. Connolly has been a resident of Winnetka for 15 years. He owns the property at 1016 Spruce street, the home of himself and family, compris- ing his wife and four children. He has been associated with the Rudolph Grocery for the past seven years, prev- jous to which time he was with the Co-operative company. He enjoys a very wide acquaintance throughout the village from whom he says he is re- ceiving every encouragement in the race into which he is now entering.
