Transit Department Making Study of Projected Bread Street Subway CONNECT FRANKFORD "L" The attention of city officials Is turn ing? te ether high-speed transit projects, new that the Frnnkferd elevated is te be placed In serrlce en November B. The Frankford high-speed line lias nbsorbed the nttentlen of the deportment of city transit for several jenrs, Ques tions have been raised whether the de partment would net new become n "white olephent." The salaries of the transit director, the assistant director nnd twelve ether empleyes of the department nre pro vided by ordinance of Council. Other workers there are paid from transit lean funds. The transit department Is busy with plans for the projected Rrend street subway nnd Is making studies of the proposed Darby and Koxberough lines. The Bread street subwny project alone will keep the department occupied un til next spring. 1017 Contracts Annulled Contracts hnd been executed for the completion of that subway from City Hall te Buttonwood street nt n cost of neerlv $10,000,000. The contracts were annulled In 1017 because of the war, nnd the need of materials for military purposes. City officials, it is unnerstoed, will proceed slowly en the high-spied proj ects. Mayer Moere wnnts' te lentil the nttltude of the Rapid Transit Company toward the various projects. Conler Cenler Conler ences between the Mayer and Themas E. Milter. P. R. T. president, arc ex pected in the nenr future. Anether Important point that must be developed Is the attitude of the pub lic toward mere expenditures for tran sit. There is nbeut SeO.000,000 avail aide for high-speed line purposes, an amount entirely inadequate for the va va tleus projects. Te Probe Ian Proposals Proposals for additional leans, with their effect en the tax rate. It Is under stood, will be gene into carefully in the next few months. The Frnnkferd line e'nmc a step nearer completion last night when the connecting link between the route te the northeast nnd the subwny was fin ished. The connection wns made nt Trent n"l Arch strectH and with this final ti ich the Frankford line was virtuallv mnde rendy for operation nt once. All thnt is necessary is te extend the elec tric current from the Market street system te the Trankferd line. The sjstcm, however, will net be put into operation until November 5, as a cerpS of trainmen and station agents have te be trained and ticket-taking equipment plnccd In the stations. The system will be turned ever te the P. R. T. by the city en October 15, under the anreement i ntered Inte between Maver Moero and Mr. Mitten lat spring. I Interesting Outings .
