PASSENGER GAIN IN
FESTIVAL WEEK IS
SHOWN BY RETURNS

4670 More Persons Than It
Did Last Year, '
FIGURES ARE SUBMITTED
Portland Had Greatest Number of Out
Bide Visitor In History of Xose
Festivals, Bay the Officials.
During the three days of Rose Fes
tival the Portland Railway, Light &
Power company carried approximately
1,050,000 passengers, or an average of
350,000 a day. Iist year's festival
traffic totaled 1,045,000 passengers, an
increase of 4670 passengers being
shown this year.
Portland had the greatest number of
visitors in Rose Festival history but
there are several reasons which ac
count for the apparently slight in
crease in streetcar passenger traffic.
Amoog these may be mentioned Jit
ney competition, the great number of
privately owned automobiles and the
facts that strangers in the city were
quartered in downtown hotels and had
little occasion to travel outside of the
business district.
It is variously estimated that be
tween 8000 and 10.000 out-of-Portlund
machines were in the city during fes
tival week.
The night of the fireworks Ht the,'
Oeks some 3000 autos were parked on 1
T-rwllllger boulevard opposite, each of
which contained anywhere from two to
seven passengers.
A remarkable thing about the festi
val and its enormous crowds was that
thiTe were no serious accidents. The
Portland Hallway, Light & Power com
pany records show that as far as its
cars and the observation of Its em
ployes are concerned none was Injured
during the fiesta.
