Director Taylor, of the Department Of
City Transit, tod.tv urged upon Council!
tlte vital necessity of cn.tslng obstruction
to the growth of Philadelphia, lie urged
Councils to Include In the proposed t.
700,000 loan an Item of $S0A.O"V so that nn
Immediate, start can be mado In recon
structing Bcwers In tho central down
town district, preliminary to the actual
construction of the subway and elevated
lines.
If Council refuse to include the $S00X
appropriation for rapid transit, Director
Tarlor pointed out that the transit pro
gram worked out by his department and
greed to by tho I, It. T. Comprny, but
which has been reportedly blocked by
Councils, will bo delayed another year.
Tho city should take the Initiative, he
eald, nnd start work Immediately, with
out waiting for the I'nlon Traction Com
pany to ratify t'-e program.
Director Tuylor also announced now
surface lines in main parts of Phila
delphia which arc needed and will be In
cluded In the transit plan. They Include
a ro9stown lino on rifty-sisth street,

When Common Council holds a special
meeting on Thursday to pass the ordi
nance that will submit the loan to Phila
delphia voters nt the. November elections,
representative business men from all parts
of Philadelphia will request that body to
reconsider the action of Councils' Finance
Committee, which placed the latest bloclJ
In the road of rapid transit development
last Thursday, when It refused Dlrctor
Tajlor's request for an appropriation.

"The pcoplo of Philadelphia are directly
Interested in securing prompt ratification
of the program for transit development
with free transfers which has grown out
of the conference between tho Philadel

Taylor In his statement.
"Tills program has ben submitted to
the City CoyiKlls, of Philadelphia and to
tho stockholder" of the Cnlon Traction

tion.
"The program provides, among other
things, fcr the elimination of tin S-eent
exchange tickets and thf development of
an adequate high-speed transportation
system In tho cltv, which t lit afford the
free transfer or passcngeis between high.
peed lines and a):-o between, high-speed
lines and Interacting surfacts lines, so
that it will bo pjssiblc for people to travel

"In the northwestern section there Is

"There now seems to be a question as

"L'nnuestlonabl it Is the dutv of h
