LONGUEUR DES LIGNES DE CHEMIN DE FER EXPLOITIES.

SOURCES: 1. Rapports des administrations de chemins de fer;

2. Annuaires statistiques ou autres documents officiels;

3. Dans quelques cas, a Eisenbahnarchio)) et le a Bulletin de l' Union Internationale des chemins de fer,.

Vu les grandes differences entre la composition des donn6es d'un pays a l'autre, les chiffres sont loin d'atre homogenes et souvent ils comportent de s6rieuses reserves. Ceci s'applique tout particulierement h la plupart des pays de l'Aml rique latine, car souvent comprend les troncons non exploites ou des troncons exploites par une autre administration. Le r6seau exploite ne comprend pas les trongons donnes en bail une autre entreprise, mais comprend les troncons appartenant h une autre entreprise et empruntes en vue de l'exploitation. Commehcertaines lignes peuvent etre co-exploit6es par plusieurs entreprises, l'addition des tronqons exploit6s par les La longueur reelle figure seulement exceptionnellement.

on ignore le caractere des donnees. La comparabilit6 des donnees s'en ressent fortement. Les donnees representent dans la regle la longueur exploitee a la fin de l'annee de gestion. Dans d'autres cas, on a fait figurer la longueur moyenne exploitee qui est calculke en tenant compte de la longueur exploitee chaque jour au courant de l'ann6e. La longueur r6elle (ou possedee)

differentes entreprises risque de donner des chiffres trop 6lev6s. Ceci s'applique par exemple aux EtatsUnis avec leur grand nombre de compagnies de chemins de fer. De maniere generale, les donn6es paraissent inclure les lignes a voie etroite et exclure les embranchements, voies de garages et les lignes purement industrielles. Dans certains cas, ces donnes comprennent mme les petites lignes locale, dans d'autres cas seulement les lignes principales ou, ce qui est tres frequent, seulement les lignes exploitees par l'Etat. Meme dans les pays oiu les chemins de fer sont exploites, en principe, seulement par l'Etat, le chiffre total des lignes priv6es plus ou moins locales prsente parfois une importance inattendue.
On s'est efforce de rendre les donnees comparables la mesure du possible, mais on ne peut guere les utiliser en vue d'une comparaison internationale sans se ref rer dans chaquedans cas, aux notes qui suivent.
1 A partir de 1920, fin mars de l'ann6e suivante. Les chiffres representent les lignes de l'Etat et les lignes priv6es ouvertes au trafic. Les chiffres relatifs aux lignes r6ellement exploit6es sont l6gerement differents.

LENGTH OF RAILWAY LINES OPERATED.

SOURCES: (1) Reports of Railway Administrations; (2) Statistical Year-Books and other official documents. (3) In a few cases, the " Eisenbahnarchiv" and the " Bulletin de l'Union Internationale des chemins de fer " Owing to the considerable differences in the make-up of the figures in different countries, they are not at all homogeneous, and can in many cases be accepted only with the utmost reserve. This applies more particularly to most of the Latin-American countries, where the nature of the figures is frequently unspecified. This very seriously affects the comparability of the figures. As a general rule the figures represent the length of track being operated at the end of the business year. In some cases, however, the average length of track operated, calculated on the basis of the length of track operated on each day throughout the year, is given. The real length (or length owned) is shown only in a few cases. The real length includes sections which are not operated, and sections which are operated by other administrations. The operated length does not include sections leased, but does include sections belonging to other enterprises over which the enterprise concerned has running-powers. As lines are sometimes operated jointly by several enterprises, the figures may come out too high if the sections operated by all the enterprises are added together. This applies, for instance, to the United States, with their large number of railway companies. As a general rule, the figures apparently include narrow-gauge lines, but do not include branch lines, sidings, and purely industrial lines. In some cases they include even small local lines ; in others they cover only the main lines, or - very frequently - only the lines worked by the State. Even in countries where all the railways are said to be operated by the State, the total figure for local privately-owned lines is sometimes unexpectedly high. Every endeavour has been made to arrange the figures on a comparable basis, but they will not be of much use for purposes of international comparison unless reference is made in each case to the notes below. The figures represent State-owned lines and privately-owned lines 1 Since 1920, the end of March of the following year. open to traffic. The figures for lines actually operated are slightly different. 2 Average length of track operated. 3 End of March of the following year. 4 Main and minor lines. 5 Almost entirely narrow-gauge. 6 Steam railways, State or privately owned.

The average length operated in 1913 was 19,265 for the State and 3,966 for the private lines. The differences between the real and the operated track are for the other years insignificant.

NOTES AU TABLEAU 82: NOMBRE DE T]ELEGRAMMES ENVOYES ET NOMBRE DE CONVERSATIONS TELEPHONIQUES. NOTES TO TABLE 82: NUMBER OF TELEGRAMS DESPATCHED AND NUMBER OF TELEPHONE CALLS.

PHIQUE (Berne) et, dans certains cas, de sources officielles, telles qu'Annuaires et Rapports officiels.

Les donnees proviennent, pour la plupart, des statistiques publiees par le BUREAU INTERNATIONAL DE L'UNION TELEGRA-

La comparabilite des chiffres paralt itre influencee dans de nombreux cas de maniure defavorable par les differences dans l'elaboration des statistiques dans les differents pays, ou pour le meme pays d'une annee a l'autre. En regle generale, les chiffres concernant les telegrammes representent le total des teliegrammes expedies dans le pays et de ceux expedies a destination de l'etranger, y compris les telegrammes du service des chemins de fer et du tseleraphe et autres t6elgrammes de service, gratuits on non. Mais cette regle comporte de nombreuses exceptions. Les telegrammes recus de l'etranger et ceux en transit ot ete exclus. Les telegrammes du service meteorologique paraissent etre exclus dans la plupart des cas. Les chiffres relatifs aux conversations telephoniques donnes sous a) se referent au trafic urbain, ceux sous b) au trafic national interurbain, et ceux sous c) au trafic international. Les telegrammes tlephones sont exclus dans la plupart des cas. Les chiffres pour les conversations interurbaines et internationales representent dans la regle, mais pas toujours, le nombre d'unites de taxes (generalement des periodes de trois minutes), et non pas celui des conversations. Les chiffres pour lesquels on a pu itablir qu'ils representent le nombre de conversations ont iete marques d'un asterisque. * Nombre de conversations. Exercice financier finissant le 31 mars de I'annee suivante. 2 Non compris les exploitations privees. 3 Le premier chiffre se refere a 1912. Les donnees sont publiees seulement tons les cinq ans il n'est pas possible de savoir
dans quelle mesure elles sont comparables a celles des autres pays. Le nombre de transmissions sans fil a ete en 1922 de 2.365.000. 4 Chiffres approximatifs

d'apres l'Union telegraphique. Les donnees sont incompletes en ce qui concerne le trafic international. Le Statistical Abstract de 1923 donne pour l'annee 1922 le chiffre 24.647.561.000. Selon la meme source, les chiffres relatifs a un nombre plus petit de compagnies ont ete de 13.735.658.000 pour l'anne 1912 et de 21.901.387.000 pour 1922. 5 Donnees incompletes, non compris telegrammes de service. 6 y compris les telegrammes recus de l'etranger et en transit. 7 Y compris les telegrammes de l'Etat re~us de l'etranger. Le premier chiffre se refere a 1912. 8 Seulement conversations de depart.
8 Y compris les telegrammes du service meteorologique. 1o Annee finissant le 30 juin.

13 Total en chiffres approximatifs pour l'Etat et l'exploitation privee. L'exercice du reseau de l'Etat finit le 30 juin; celui des compagnies correspond ia l'annee du calendrier. Les chiffres sous b) et c) pour les annees 1913, 1920 et 1921 representent en majeure partie le nombre de conversations et non pas celui des unites taxees. 14 Les donn6es sur l'exploitation par les administrations locales de l'U. R. S. S. ne sont pas disponibles.
OF THE TELEGRAPHIC UNION (Berne) ; some, however, come from other official sources, such as year-books and officialBUREAU reports. In many cases, the figures appear to be little comparable on account of the differences in the methods of compilation employed in different countries, or in one country in different years.
