Excerpt from Street Railway Accounting: A Manual of Operating Practice for Electric RailwaysThe developments and changes in street railway account ing during recent years have been many and varied. Every street railway company has had the problem of devising a system of accounting which should conform in principle to the stipulations of the public service bodies and the methods approved by good roads, and which should also fit in with the requirements of local conditions.The promulgation by the Interstate Commerce Commis sion of its System of Uniform Accounts for Electric Railways has helped to standardize street railway accounting, so that it now appears probable that changes will be less marked in the future. The Commission's system, however, deals merely with the classification of accounts, giving no description of the procedure required in applying the classification to actual conditions. The working methods followed in different com panics, even where local conditions are similar, still show wide diversity. A book of street railway accounting practice should be useful alike for purposes of suggestion and of comparison.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
