Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Central Station Bookkeeping and Suggested Forms: With an Appendix for Street Railways
Central Station Management and Finance. The articles being somewhat new at the time seemed so well thought of that they were published in book form. These articles were very crude; the forms lacked many features necessary or convenient and were not carried nearly far enough to cover the ground. Since those articles were written, having made personal examination of some 160 different stations both technically and financially for the United States Census, the writer thinks the subject can be covered much more fully, and in the light of past experience has attempted to outline and suggest methods and forms for use in such places, which, while not claiming to be perfect, contain the general outline of a classification, scheme of analysis, and forms of books and blank reports which may be of use in developing a system for any station. No claim is made for entire originality, as many of the forms are but slight, modifications of those used by companies already existing.
