SERVICES IN LONDON.
BIG DECREASE IN PASSENGERS
(Received February '27, 12.15 a.m.) LONDON. Feb. 26.
Lord Ashfield, chairman and managing director of the Underground Electric Railways of London, Limited, speaking at the annual meeting of the company, said Londoners were walking more and restricting their pleasures. " They prefer to pay their income-tax," he said. The chairman said that 28,000,000 fewer passengers were carried by the company's trains last year. This confirmed the impression gained at Christmas, when the traffic was so quiet that it seemed as if Yuletido had been forgotten. It mus't have been spent by many people at their firesides.
