Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the author's conclusions from a commission tasked with examining the economic and operational health of the British Columbia Electric Railway Company (BCER) in 1917. The BCER operated urban, suburban, and interurban electric railways, supplied gas, and provided electric light and power to municipalities on the mainland and Vancouver Island. The author's analysis found that an economic downturn related to World War I had severely impacted BCER's revenue. The company's largest expense was labor, with the second largest being power. The author outlined the impact of the First World War on the cost of living and the subsequent demand from employees for increased wages. The report concluded that the company was experiencing financial hardship and facing insolvency if revenue did not increase. The author's findings highlight the complex relationship between a public service company, the communities it serves, and economic factors beyond its control.
