pleading for nn awakened counullmatilo
consclotico for an honest Inltlutlvc In
civic affairs, Director Taylor today again
brought tho whole transit situation be
fore tho lieoplo by demonstrating to
Councils how the work may begin at
once.
In a statement today the Director ask"

Director Taylor also announced new
surface lines in many parts of Phila
delphia which are needed and will be in
cluded In the tranMt ! l.in. They include
r crosstown line on riftj-Mth street.
Additional facilities libove Frankford. a '
line on Chew street, extensions to the i
South Philadelphia north and oJlh
lines, additional lines north of C.lrard
College, a direct line to Hoxborough. a
line on North Ninth street and a direct
line to Fox Chase.
PLAN AND HOW IT WAS BALKED.
The plan drawn up by the Department
of City Transit and agreed to by the
Philadelphia Hapid Transit Company In
cludes a Broad street subwa , a tube
under the Delaware River and elevated
lines to Frankford and Dai by, together
with extensions to the pies-put surface
lines, under an agreement calling foi uni
versal free transfers. The lmproement?
would cost the city 534.Gs2.000 and the
lessee ?22,S9ii,o00. It was hoped to com
plete the system within live ears.
l-,-M-iVp.pelIs after its members had placed
themselves on record .is taoiing the
piogram, for political reasons, blocked
rapid tianlt and the resultant grow tli of
the cits. In thLs way.
first By ottering to the oeople two
loan", one of S.fiW.foo, approved at the
November election last year, and one of
J12.9u),00O, which last March wero declared
Illegal by tile Supreme Court because of
the failure of Councils to Include a school
debt of M,a24,2M, assumed by the Board
of Kducat'on under the provisions of the
School Code, in the Indebtedness of the
city. Those loans Include il,SO.0C0 for
transit. The Supreme Court, however,
uphold the constitutionality of personal
property assessments ns a basis for a
municipal loan, and thereby paved the
nay for another, but smaller, loan.
Second By Insisting, through Its Tian
slt Committee, upon tho plan olfered b
the P. R. T. Company, bv which the i ity
would pay the company $11,107,000 in titty
year3. for the abolition of exchange
tickets.
Third By delaying to llont a now loan
after the first two loans weio declared
Invalid A new loan could have been
otod on last sprln,.
Fourth After Director Taylor and the
I1. J J. T. Company had each pieeent'-d
plans to its Transit Committee, and the
Transit Committee uirieed to hold public
discussions of these plans, no inoro meet
Incs were held.
Fifth By rerusine. through Its Finance
Committee, to appropriate the tSunw
for the preliminary work.
Part of the politlea' scheme of row
ells Is to wait until the present admin
istration Is going out of office and then
rloat a largo loan for tianst improve
men's, and award the contracts them
selves. .Several members of Coun -Us. U
liarf also been said, own I'nlon Ti action

'plan the l nlon Traction Companv must
provide the funds for ti. eded extensions!

DIRECTOn TAYLOR'S STATEMENT.
Director Talor, in his statement today,
said that tho plan of the Department of
City Transit has been submitted to City
Councils and to the. stockholders of tho
Union Traction Company "A very lm
portant factor in the program," he con
tinued, "la the provision which Is made
for the financing of surface extensions
which will be ren,uetvd from time to time
as the city grows At present various
sections of the city are demanding such
facilities."
"A very Important factor In th pro
gram Is the provision Hhhh is made for
the financing of surface extensions whlcn
will be requested from time to time as
the city group. At picsent vat I jus see
tions of the city are demanding such
facilities.
"In West Philadelphia a crosstown sur.
face line on 56th street is greatly nei)ed
"In the northeastern section additional
surface facilities are needed above
Frinkford.
"In Gcrmantown the people are very
properly demanding tho construction of
a line on Chew fctreet, a section now
built up but Isolated
"In South Philadelphia extensions of
the existing north and south l'i further
touthward will be a necessity.
"In tho northwestern section there U
& great demand for additional north and
bouth lines north of Oirnrd College and
also for a much needed direct line to
Roxbcrough.
Jn the northern section of the clti
there Is an urgent demand for a surface
line on North Ninth street and for a
direct line to Fox Chase.
CITY MUST MAKE START
There now seems to be a question as
to who shall make the first move toward
the carrying out of the transit program
shall it be the city or shall the city
await favorable action by tho Unloi
Traction Company?
"Unquestionably it Is the duty of the
city to take the initiative ana to take
wvery step riec.ar to secure adequate

Doctor Brumbaugh, before leaving tho

said:
"I must beg jour Indulgence. Thoso
things arc coming a llttlo too fast for
mo to decido offhand what I shall do, or
what I shall say."
"Some time duihig the day or evening
I hope to tcad and digest both editorials
thoroughly, and then I may have some
thing to say. For the piesent spnro me.
I must give these sudden changes of front
mature consideration beforo I declare my
self." Doctor Biumbnugh's reference to
"things coming too fast" for Instant com

him by the Noith Ameilcun. Of this let

"I havo lend, the article In question
