.. Miiiiisiijtiiun mia oeen ono oi consistent

finally successful effort to obtain llio pas
sago flf the $11,300,000 municipal loan for
the- beginning of work bti high-speed ttan
It lines, elimination of railroad , gfaiie
crosslngd and f6r, other clvlo betterments
is one of ths chief accomplishments of
Ma administration In 10H.
Leaders of the Organization In Councils
abandoned their nttlludo of obstruction to
the loan only after an aroused public
opinion backed the Mayor In Ills demands
for better transit facilities and other Im
provements that the measure would In
stitute. Economies havo been effected In the
principal prorations of the city during the
year by the Mayor's Insistence on the
strict adherence to the law that money
shall bo actually borrowed for loans au
thorised only after contracts under those
loans have bocn begun. Interest and
sinking fund charges have thereby been
saved until the principal haa served a
Useful purpose.
The Mayor has named a committee of
city officials to draft an amendment to
be Introduced at the .next session of the.
Legislature for'-the merging of more. than
$1,000,000 of loan funds now Idle In the
City Treasury. Restrictions now hampor
lnctho expenditure of that money on
clvle Improvements would be removed by
legislation.
BOND SALES PnOVB INTEaiUTT.'
The financial Integrity of the city was
reflected during the year In the sales of
municipal bonds. Early In the fait an
offering of J8:5,000 of bonds brought In
dividual buyers, exclusively, to the "coun
ter" at the City Treasury and before the
sale was terminated approximately $1,125,
000 of the bonds had been sold.
At the last meeting of Councils the
measure was passed that will Increase the
interest rate on city funds on deposit In
banks from 2 to 2V4 per cent. Mayor
Blankenburg had Insisted upon the pass
age of that all through the year In re
peated messages.
The project of sewage disposal for the
entire city has been glyen definite form
during 1314 by virtual completion or
plans In the Survey Bureau for a com
prehensive system to cost approximately
$40,000,000. Plans for the system havo
been submitted to the State Department
of Health.
At the suggestion of Mayor Blanken
burg a conference of American Mayors
was held In Philadelphia and there was
established a, definite policy for mutually
helpful relations between municipalities
and the public utilities corporation? that
furnish light, power and transportation.
An outgrowth of that first conference
Is the National Utilities Bureau that wilt
be at the service of any co-operating
municipality engaged In a contest with a
public service, corporation,
GRADE CltOSSINGS TO GO.
Negotiations were completed during the
year by city officials and officers of the
Reading Railway and 'Pennsylvania Rail
road for elimination of railroad grade
crossings In the northeastern section of
ihe city.
Tulip and Emerald streets will be opened
under 27 tracks of the Reading Railway.
These streets are now blocked and their
openlnS will provide new avenues for
traffic in an Industrial locality.
The menacing grade crossing at Lehigh
avenue and Memphis street, near St.
Ann's Church, which Is crossed by school
children several times dally, will be re
moved as a result of the negotiations.
Progress has been made In the widening
of Delaware avenue between Vine street
and Fairmount avenue and between South
and Christian streets.
Director Cooke, of the Department of
Public Works, has lodged complaint
against the rates, organization and service
of the Philadelphia Electric Company be
fore the State Public Service Commission
and. unaided by Councils, is endeavoring
to obtain lower rates for the city as well
as for private consumers.
A revenue was obtained by the city this
year for the first time by the sale of
waste collected by the street cleaning
contractors. The contract for the sale of
waste in ISIS will net the city 16000.
Two contracts for construction work In
the Highway Bureau were for completion
of the west side of League Island Park,
1(90.000, and for construction of the cen
tral driveway of the Northeast Boule
vard from Broad street to Second street,
arid the side driveways from Broad street
to Rhawzi Street, $385,000.

The retirement of Dr; Joseph 8. Neff. as
Director of the Health Depiutment, waa
followed early In tho year by a genuine
effort on tho part of Alexander M. WII
Bon, Assistant Director, then acting Di
rector, to establish the Division of Hous
ing and Sanitation that would better liv
ing conditions In Congested sections of
the city. The effort was unlllrlcd by
Councils' refusal to appropriate fuhds for
maintenance of the division.
Director Loco, In the Department of
Bupp Ictf, has continued lo effect econo

city by open competition and non-specified
nr tides.
Director Porter, of the Dcnartment nf
Public Safety, has added motor equip
ment to tho Kiro Bureau to it reasonable
extent considering the lack of ndequnto
appropriation by Councils.
Condemnation of much of the present
equipment as obsolete by tho National
Fire underwriters hns Impelled Councils
to Include In the budget for 1015 an ap
propriation for fire hose amounting to JI5,
000. This Is tho first year Councils havo
seen fit to make an uppropilntlan of that
size for tho beginning of the succeeding
year.

WILMINGTON REPUBLICANS
ANGRY AT SAULSBURY
Removal of Mnrshnl Starts Tnlk of
Iteprisnl on Democrats.
WILMINGTON, Del., Dec. 30.-Unlted
States Senator Wlllard Saulsbury, having
hnd United Stntest Marshal George L.
Townsend removed from office before his
term had expired, In order to give n
place to a. Democrat, and Martin F. Farry
having been named for tho position, Re
publican politicians In Wilmington nro
demanding that the various city depart
ments drop all of the Democrats now
employed and that their places bo given
to Republicans. ,
Many Democrats believe Salisbury's ac
tion will react on their party. If the Re
publican city ndmlnlstrntlun should oust
nil Democrats now holding municipal
posts a largo number would be thrown
out of employment.
Announcement that the new marshal
will rcmovo Ralph I. Fllnn and John W.
Mitchell as deputies nnd will appoint
Democrats In their places has caused a
goneral scurrying among the Democrats
for those positions. These deputies wcrn
supposed to be under civil service, but
they will bo removed nnd tho positions
filled by Democrats, so that by removing
Marshal TownBend tho Democrats get
three offices to' fill.
Republicans now fenr that as Sauls
bury and the Dcmocrnts have succeeded
In getting two deputy collectors of In
ternal revenue nnd two deputy United
States Marshals out they may also be
ablo to get some of tho other positions
which nro now held by Republicans.

CHARGE
EXTORTION IN TOLLS
ON ROADS OF STATE
Petition Will Be Presented
to Public Service Commis
sion to Have Uniform Rate
Ordered.
The Stnto Public Service Commission
lll be asked to eliminate "hold-up"
clmrgrs on the prlnclpnl toll roads ot
Pennsylvania and to establish a uniform
into of toll for all toll roads and privately
owned highways In tho Commonwealth.
Tho automobile clubs of Dclawaro and
Lancaster Counties will present a petition
within tho next month.
Aulomoblllsts from nil parts of tho
State have been Invited to attend a meet
ing In Lancaster on January 13. The
complaint will be drafted at this meeting
and preparations will bo made to present
to H15 commission, nt a public hearing,
evidence showing that "hold-up" prices
aie charged at nearly every ptlnclpul
point on (he -toll roads.
Tho complaint will bo directed chiefly
against the rates charged for traveling
over tho Lancaster plko from 'Philadel
phia and over ' tho Columbia bridge at
Columbia, Pa. Automoblllsts of Phila
delphia dnd the entire eastern section of
the State have made Innumerable pro
tests to the automobile associations of
Pennsylvania, urging action to lower
these tolls.
The Columbia bridge Is on the direct
road from Philadelphia, to Harrisburg and
Is extensively used by autumobllisls. Tho
pretent toll Is 45 cents for an automobllo
with tuu pnssengeiH, with an extra
charge for each additional passenger.
Tho cost of autoiuoblling alone tho
lower end of the Lancaster plko from
Philadelphia averages 3 cents a mile per
passenger.
"This Is discrimination ngainsi Philadel
phia automobllstB, who use tho Lancaster
plko more than persons from nny other
Eastern county and Is extortion," said
Joseph If. Weeks, chairman of tho Roads
Committee of the Pennsylvania Motor
Federation, today. "It Is nbsutd to havo
to pay more for traveling over a high
way than It would cost to make the trip
by train."
At tho meeting In Lancaster automo
blllstB who have recently driven over tho
Lanrastor plko and the, Columbia bridge
will tell of tho prices they are charged,
and their statements will go to tho com-
missiqn 113 evidence. Automoblllsts from
other parts of tho State will also make
statements.
The commission will bo asked to estab
lish a uniform rate classification made
on the same basis as the automobllo
registration fees now charged by the
State, This would mean, said Mr. Weeks,
that the tolls would vary nccordlug to
tho number of automobiles driven over
each particular toll road, so that every
toll road would receive sufficient revenue
to be kept In good repair and give a
fair return to Its owners.
