The mileage of these cars during the month of November, 1921, was as fellows :
Steel and Steel Underframe Cars, 1,069,340 Miles
Weeden Cars . . . 769,011 "
300,329 "
Sited ears, therefore, made 39" mere mileage than wooden cars in November.
The number of cars in service does net, therefore, represent the service te the
public. While the number ei steel cars in use is 6 mere than the wooden cars, the
Steel Cars Performed 39 Mere Service Than the Weeden Cars:
Steel coaches averaged us miles per car per day
Weeden coaches averaged 45 miles per car per dav
Steel combination cars averaged M4 miles per car per day
Weeden combination cars averaged... 80 miles per car per day
The Philadelphia & Reading has net purchased any wooden cars since 1907. It
adopted a policy beteve the iir of purchasing 50 Steel Coached per year, the last steel
cclee were contracted ler December. 1917, and received dining the Fall and Spring
of 1918 and 1919.
The Read was taken ever by the Government January 1st, 1918, and continued in
.PSB10p1S,i ev everTGnt untl1 Ma 1st, 1920; then followed the six months'
Guarantee Period. Ne coaches were purchased by the Government during its twenty
six months' possession of the property.
Frem the end of the "Guarantee Period" until the present, the funds of the Com
pany have been depleted, and no final settlement has as yet been made with the Govern
ment for either the Control or "Guarantee Periods;" the Company, therefore? has been
without funds ler the purchase of new equipment and ether necessary improvements
during the 15 months lollewing the "Guarantee Period." A few weeks aee it did how
