T,hoy emphatically Indorsed his plans
last nlsht nt a mass meellns In Athletic
Recreation Hall, 2Gth and Jefferson
turrets, and announced their readiness to
Join In a clty-wlde demonstration to
bring about action.
Tho Northwest Business Men's Associa
tion, the West Susquehanna Avenue Busi
ness Men's Association, the Falrmount,
Brewerytown, 22d Street and other busi
ness organizations of that pnrt of the city
were represented at tho meeting, and In
terest was shown In the plans unfolded
l'y Director Taylor, especially those rel
ative to the northwest. A hint at still
Kreater honors for Director Taylor, as a
roword for his championship of hlgh
peed transit was made by Chnrles I
Pluck, who presided. Mr. Fluclc called
attention to the fact that numerous well
Known citizens who Bpoke from tho plat
form of Itccreatlon Hall subsequently
were chosen for high ofllces.
Ho mentioned Doctor Brumbaugh who
Vaa elected flnvprnnr nnrl rnfrt-ln(. tn
Mr. Taylor as "tho man of tho hour,"
eald, "I want to warn Director Taylor
that anything Is likely to happen to him
utter Bperiklng on this platform, espe
cially after tho peoplo give 'him such a
memorable, monument as the high-speed
transit system."
Resolutions were unanimously adopted
tirglng Councils to take every step neces
sary to assure tho construction of the
,rccommendcd high-speed tines without

fcinps of tho proposed routes how much

"You passengers pay J16fl,000 yearly for
the dlscriulnntory exchango tickets. You
muit bo relieved of that chaige. You
ore wasting time In traveling uncomfort
ably and Inconveniently on crowded sur
face car lines which are are subiect to
delays incident to surface travel.
"You rightfully demand that tho city
government shall relieve the congestion
of truffle on the existing surface lines
and save you the discomfort and incon
venience nnd the time which you nro
wasting In traveling long distances by
facilities which are now obsolete for long
distance travel.
"This will be accomplished by estsb
llshing the lccominemletl high-speed lines
operated In conjunction with the exist
ing system acting as n free transfer gath
erer and distributor of passengers using
the highspeed Hues.
"The construction of the Parkway sub
way and the North 29th street elevated
will save the passengers of your district
MI. 000 hours per year, which at 15 cents
per hour will equal a money value of
$149,000.
"The development of your section of
the city Id now being retarded by the
congestion of the existing travel on tho
surface car lines. This congestion must
be eliminated and your section must be
permitted to share equally with other
sections in comfort, convenience and pros
perity, which all follow adequate transit
facilities."
The Director then explained the routes
cl tho proposed high-speed lines, their
cost and the benefit which would be de
rived by the city generally. Continuing,
he said: "The Immediate establishment
of rapid transit facilities in Philadelphia
hinges solely upon prompt action by your
representatives in City Councils.
"I recognise that during the coming
month members of Councils will be un
able to give the thorough and detailed
consideration, and the hearings which
will be ne.eaai, to Anally fix the routes
uf til high-speed Hues, for the annual
appropriation bills telntlve to the various
Ity departments will take up nearly all
their time during this period.

years been developing nnd maintaining.
"It seems unjust that the )cople In the
densely populated sections of the city
should be called upon to contribute an
nually their share In taxes toward the
upkeep nnd enlargement of parks and
other attractions which they cannot me.
Wo must be fair to them nnuf secure for
them their rlghln. it Is my ambition to
btlng opportunity for convenient travel
and recreation equally to every front
door In Philadelphia without any tindue
discrimination In cost or In time required
to travel. This broad policy will bring
boundless returns to the peoplo In time
snving, in prosperity, in pleasure and in
comfort.

the Ent Park, afford access to the
River drive, Falls of tho Schuylkill by

"It will also nfford Indirect access to
the West Park by change of cars over
the Falrmount Park Transportation
Company's line.
"It will relieve Roxborough's Isolation
and, ns I have pointed out, It will elim
inate that discrimination which now ex
ists against )our section of the city.
BENEFITS OF HIGH SPEUD
TRANSIT.
"When the recommended capacious
arteries for high-speed travel connect up
every flection of the entire city tho en
tire population of Philadelphia will be
able to reach and enjoy tho amusements
and pastimes which ono great stadium
will provide.
"Without an adequate rapid transit
sjstem It will be Impossible to locate tho
great public stadium and recreation
centre so that It will be readily acces
sible to all of tho people of tho city of
Philadelphia In point of time nnd cost
required to reach It.
"As soon as the recommended high
speed system ts under way the last argu
ment for delny In establishing the great
municipal stadium will have been re
moved nnd It should be ratnbllshcd.
When all of the people of Philadelphia
nro enabled to enJo tho spoils nnd other
recreations which such a stadium will
piovltlc at a modest coit. wo shall have
performed nn Important duty to the
great mnjorlty of tho citizens of this
city who nro now prevented by lack of
modern high-speed transportation facil
ities and by high entrnnco fees charged,
from enjoying pastimes which should bo
made available to them."
Tho director then explained that the
city could build the proposed lines with
out the co-operntlon of tho existing corn
pan j nnd added:
"The transit program piovldcs that ex
tensions of the surface system shall be
made frqm time to time when and as
itasuuably required. This Is of impor
tance to the people who nre located Im
mediately notth of Glrnrd College, whero
additional surface facilities are needed.
"A way must be found to overcome the
disadvantage which jour district suffers
by reason of being cut oft from the
south by Glrard College. Tho discrim
inatory exchange tickets with which you
aro burdened must bo eliminated."

The Finest Collection of Silks
We Ever Had for Christmas
Despite European difficulties, the large importations of
foreign silks have come through safely, and it seems as
though they were even lovelier than in years past.
Brocades in the richest and most exquisite blending of
colors and woven with gold and silver threads, tinsel voiles,
velours and other novelties and the finer satins and velvets.
From domestic sources are the staple plain and fancy
silks, the new pompadour and chiffon taffetas and tub silks,
both imported and domestic.
In a word every silk that is fashionable and new for -Christmas

dress length, every pattern will be boxed on request.
