TAYLOR'S HELP SOUGHT
A clty-wldo publicity c&mpalgn. to dem
onstrate the Importanco of the proposed
Woodland avenue elevated line. ns planned
if Transit Director A, Merrill Taylor,
Htt, to force Councils to make provision
In t i next municipal loan for the prompt
beginning of work on this spur of Phila
delphia's high-speed transit system, was
v begun today oy me wooaiana Avenue
b Business Men's Association.
, John T. Tedlow, president, and 3. J.
iiehan, secretary, of the association, ac
companied by a commltteo of members,
called upon Director Taylor In his office
this morning and urged the necessity for
the Immediate building; of tho Woodland
avinuo elevated line.
A resolution adopted at a special meet
ing of the board of directors of the as
sociation last night, was submitted to the
Director, Accompanying the resolution
was a lengthy statement, showing the
present Inadequacy of transit service In
the Woodland avenuo district, and setting
forth particular reasons why prompt ac
tion should be taken. Director Taylor as
suredthe delegation that he would co
operate with them In any effort to bring
the matter before the' citizens of Phila
delphia and bofore Councils.
The resolution calls upon Councils to
.Include a 14,000,000 appropriation, the cost
the proposed line, in tne next loan
cotlatcd by the city. The failure of
ounclls to recognize the Woodland ele
cted In all transit legislation enacted up
! date was scored.
ph crrent lmnortflneft of nromnt nrtlnn
lit this time, the statement sets forth, Is
'due to tho fact that on January 1, 1916,
there will be 36,000 persons employed at
Eddystone by tho Baldwin Locomotive
Works, the Remington Arms Company
and the Eddystone Munitions Company.
Thousands of these will be Phlladel
phlans, and If no rapid transit system
Is provided for these men to go to and
come from their work, they will move
from this city, and Philadelphia will lose
the vast trade which their residence hero
means.
The Woodland avenue line, which could
serve these men, would be little more
than five miles in length. It would
serve as a spur of tho present Market
street elevated, running from 30th and
Market streets south, partly over 30th
street and partly over privately owned
territory to Gray's Ferry avenue, thence
to Woodland avenue, to 49th street, thence
over Woodland avenuo to Darby,
The resolution presented by tho delega
tion follows:
Whereas, The ordlnanco passed by
Councils authorizing the commence
ment of work on tho Broad street sub
way and Frankford elevated lines
omitted from Its provisions the Wood
land avenue elevated spur; and
Whereas, The lopping off of this
line has materially Interfered with the
value and usefulness of the two lines
now under construction; and
Whereas, The Woodland avenue ele
vated line would cost less to con
struct and would bo practically self
sustaining from its completion, and,
further, would prove a valuable Income-producing
asset to the city of
Philadelphia. Now be It
Resolved by the board of directors
of the Woodland Avenuo Business
Men's Association that we forward
herewith to Director A. Merrltt Tay
lor a statement of facts showlpg the
necessity for the Immediate building
of tho Woodland avenue elevated Im
provement as planned by his departf
ment and solicit his earnest efforts
to assist us to that end; and be It
further
Resolved, That copies of this reso
lution be sent to the various Improve
ment and business associations lntor-
yestea in tne weuare oi our cuy ana
' also to the present candidates for
Mayor and members of Councils In
order that the J4.000.000 necessary for
the completion of tho work be included
In tho next loan negotiated by the
city.
WOODLAND AVENUE BUSINESS
MEN'S ASSOCIATION.
"tThe statement designed to awaken nub
" a lnterpnt nnd to net forth tho lm
lortance of prompt counctlmanlo action
follows:
"At a special meeting of the board of
Directors of tho Woodland Avenue Busi
ness Men's Association, held September
the officers of this association were
directed to bring to your attention mat-
Iters which wo believe to be of vital lm-
i portance to tho commercial welfare of
Philadelphia.
The Woodland avenue elevated was
projected to extend as a branch of the
ItVIGnil, MftinCl Dik BMWMrf -.,.V.fc
((line at 30th and Market streets, south
wardly partly over 30th street and partly
over private right-of-way to Grays Ferry
avenue, thence over Grays Ferry avenue
to Woodland avenuo to 49th street, thence
over Woodland avenue to Darby, termin
ating there on private right-of-way.
"The length of tho Woodland avenuo
elevated line will be E.4 miles.
"Director Taylor has reported with re-
Ition thereto as follows: .
"First. The Woodland avenue elevated
will cost, exclusive of equipment.
bthln f4.40O.O0O.
I'Second. There is ample capacity on the
isent Market street subway elevated
to provide space for the operation of
i Woodland avenue elevated trains over
Market street elevated and througn
present Market street subway, const
antly" with a small expenditure this line
bo established, as there are already
equate terminal facilities for some
ears to come.
."Third. When the present Market street
pway elevated line becomes congested
litis luture a relief suoway can oe duiii
keath Chestnut street connecting up
Woodland avenua elevated line and
Frankford avenue elevated line and
he Camden Tube, if necessary, at a cost
f within tS.W0.O00.
L "Fourth. Tho fixed charge which the city
puld Incur, Including interest ana Sinn-
fund payments on bonds, in esiao-
khlna; the Woodland avenue elevated
lould be only S!S5,000 per year, including.
It aforesaid, the sinking fund payments
lo pay oft the entire debt In 30 years.
I "Fifth. The Woodland avenuo elevated
fee would be nearly sen-sustaining irom
la start and would prove a valuable ln-
ltne-produclng asset to the city,
rfilxth. It will rave passengers which
will serve in the district penetrated
5,181 hours per year, which, calculated
tit IS cents per hour, would be worth
.00C
'Seventh. It will open up a wide area
L undeveloped land for development ana
rby largely increase the annual tax-
lie values and the consequent Increase
tax revenue to the City Treasury.
"Klghth. The 17112 acres In the 44th
I'srd. which lie west of 4Sth street and
outh of Market street, nloriir the Market

enormous commercial development In that
territory is Inevitable, owing to deep
water transportation facllltles'ln that dis
trict. "He has pointed out the Importanco of
tying this territory, Including Chester,
to Philadelphia commercially to tho end
that people resident In that district may
nave easy access to Philadelphia, ana
thus spend their money hero. Also that
thousands of Phlladelphlans who must
necessarily be drawn on for employment
In that district can continue to live in
Philadelphia and go to nnd from their
home city to their dally work.
"Recent developments require us to
tako notice of these recommendations. If
we fall to do so, and deny Phlladelphlans
the privilege of continuing as residents
of this city nnd working In the Darby
Chester district, Philadelphia will lose
thousands of residents, who will bo forced
to live In that district near their work
In the absence of adequate transit facil
ities. "Likewise, Philadelphia will lose tho
vast trade which will result from the
mirchaslne nnwer of the tens of thou
sands of additional people who will be
employed, particularly at Eddystone and
generally throughout that district. If we
deny them ready access to our shopping
district.
"Here are the facts:
"The number of people who will bo em
ployed on January 1 at Eddystono aro
as follows:
Baldwin Locomotlra Works 11.000
Remington Arms Company 13,000
Eddystone Munitions Company ... 10,000
Total , 30,000
"Estimating five persons tS a family,
this will represent a population of 180,000
people.
"A large portion of them will be drawn
from Philadelphia.
"Are we going to enable them to remain
residents of Philadelphia?
"Aro wo going to retain their patronage
for our merchants by building tho Wood
land Avenue Elevntcd Line?
"Furthermore, In nnd about Chester
thero Is on unprecedented commercial de
velopment. A new shlp-bulldlng plant
nnd a new distillery aro being erected In
Chester. Tho plant of tho American
Viscose Company Is being tremendously
cnlnrged and will employ thousands of
additional hands.
"It Is high time that Phlladelphlans
should consider the necessity of building
Immediately the Woodland Avenuo Ele
vated Line, which will be nearly self sus
taining In Itself 'and which will Increase
the taxable values within the City to an
extent sufficient to glvo the City Increased
annual tax returns far In excess of any
declt from Its operation.
"It will save the people who will travel
on It 815,633 hours, worth at the lowest
calculation (15 cents per hour) $122,000 per
year.
"It will prevent the material depopula
tion of Philadelphia.
"It wilt retain the purchasing power
of the vast army of employes of the great
Industrial plants of the district which
will be penetrated to tho merchants of
Philadelphia.
-"This Item will mean mnny hundreds
of thousands of dollars per month.
"The city of Philadelphia makes an In
vestment of $4,400,000 for tho Woodland
Avenuo Elevated.
"That Investment will return v to tho
city and to tho citizens an almost incal
culable annual profit.
"A greater number of thoso who will
bo employed by the- grcat-lndustrlcs now
building to tho south of Philadelphia will
be drnwn from the Frankford and Ken
sington districts.
"By connecting up the Frankford ele
vated with the Woodland avenue elevated
through tho Market street subway these
residents of Frankford nnd Kensington
can continue to live In their established
homes and go forth to the Eddystone dis
trict dally to. work. Otherwise they must
necessarily move to Eddystone, Chester
or that vicinity.
"Frankford and Kensington merchants
should wake up to this situation.
"Moreover, If and when the Baldwin
Locomotive Works moves Its entire plant
to Eddystone, Phlladelphlans should con
sider whether they are going to drive the
vast army of employes of the Baldwin
Locomotive Works and their families to
leave Philadelphia because of their in
ability to travel quickly between Phila
delphia nnd their places of employment.
"If the Woodland avenue elevated Is
not promptly constructed and made ready
for their service there will certalnlv be
a big exodus of residents from Phila
delphia. "It appears that the new commercial
development south of this city will, be
fore January 1, employ some 40,000 men.
"They will represent, with their fami
lies, over 10 per cent, of the entire popu
lation of Philadelphia, and they will be
largely drawn from the population of
Philadelphia.
"We want to build the Woodland ave
nue elevated line and thus permit them
to continue to reside here and to go to
their dally work.
"By reason of our familiarity with the
conditions existing in tho southwestern
section of West Philadelphia and the dis
trict between ours and Chester we bring
this matter to your attention, as It Is
one which affects the welfare of tho city
as a whole.
"We earnestly urge you to indorse this
Important enterprise and to co-operate in
securing the Immediate construction of
the Woodland avenuo elevated line."

SAVED FKOM FLAMES
"ZAZA" COMES HERE
Film Unharmed in Famous
Players' Fire to Be Seen
at tho Stanley
sm aai ii mi
By the Photoplny Editor
The opening of the huge film vault
which hung on the wnlls of the Famous
Players Film Company's studio after the
totnl destruction of the building by lh
disastrous flro of September 11, revealed
tho fact that tho negative of that com
pany's adaptation of "Zaza," in which
Pauline Frederick Is to appear at the
Stanley tomorrow. wn tha onlv one of
eleven completed stupendous feature pro- i
mictions to escape wholly the ravages
of the flames. It was tho fate of this
picture that caused the officials of the
company tho greatest concern, as It
represented tho outlay of many thousands
of dollars and had consumed eight weeks
In tho making.
When notified of tho saving of "Zaza"
Miss Frederick was Jubilant. "I cannot
tell you how glad I nm to hear the news,"
she declared to Mr. Zukor, president of
tho Famous Tlaycrs Company, when ho
telephoned her the facts. "Never In my
life have I felt so utterly miserable as
when I arrived at the fire and realized
that 'Znza' was In that building. I hnd
put my whole heart nnd soul Into the en
actment of the great character, and I am
sure thnt If It had been necessary to
repeat the entire production I should
never hnve done bo welt again.
"Only a person who has gone through
the terrible emotional stress which Is
necessary In acting such a powerful Im
personation as Zaza can believe with
what dismay I faced tho prospect of
repenting tho whole performance. Zaza
Is to mc the most marvelous character
that has appeared on the stage In years.
I looked forward to playing the role with
the keenest anticipation, and when we
began tho .filming of the play for the
iir.it time I had worked myself up to a
nervous tension that enabled me to put
all my force Into the role. But with this
tension gone, as It Inevttnbly Would bo.
It would havo been practically Impos
sible for mo to havo put the same spirit
Into a repetition of Zaza which I did
before."
Those who observed the terrific con
flagration and saw tho leaping flames
licking their way through the entire
building never believed for a moment
that any vault could be bo constructed
as to savo such Inflammable material as
that of which films are made. For hours
the flames had enveloped the hugs vault
and had eaten away the floor upon which
It rested. Tho roof had caved In upon It
nnd carried with It every floor whlch.ob
Btructed Its path. Only a born optimist
would have believed 'It possible for a
celluloid composition, no matter how zeal
ously guarded from fire, to havo re
mained unscathed In this fiery furnace.
The New York offices of the Oliver
Morosco Photoplay Company most em
phatically deny tho report printed In
various papers that Myrtle Stedman, the
populnr star who has been appearing un
der this banner since Its Inception, has
left to Join the forces of another pro
ducing company.
The Triangle Film Corporation an
nounces that the Chestnut Street Opera
IIouso will open Its season of Triangle
film plays on next Tuesday evening, Oc
tober 6. The management had hoped to
open some night this week, but were
disappointed on not 1-nving all of the
alterations completed. One of the things
that caused the delay Is a new curtain,
which will not be ready until the end of
this week. The ushers' costumes also
could not be completed until the latter
part of this week. Brand new motion
picture machines aro also being installed,
nnd a new concrete projection booth lo
cated on the lower floor, "which InsureB
better projection. Ml these Improvements
will be finished by Saturday, so the first
two days of next week will be devoted to
orchestral and other rehearsals.

TO RUN OFFICE NEXT YEAR
Amount Under This Year's Coat, But
Not In Salaries
City Treasurer William McCoach asks
I10.J8J.707.M for 111 in his estimate of
needs submitted today In duplicate to
Controller John M. Walton and to the
Finance Committee of Councils. For the
current year the appropriation vras 110,
395,17.C6. The sum asked for the maintenance of
the department. Including salaries, is (77.-
000, an Increase of $200 over last year.
The estimate also provides for the pay
ment of municipal loans which will ma
ture in 1916, which will amount to JMS,
000, and the payment of Interest on loans
to tho sum of $225,715.7$.
Tho amount to be Dnld to the com
missioners of the sinking fund on ac
count of the redemption of municipal
loans la 2,9,71J.63.
During the year the city paid Into the
State Treasury as Btate taxes on lonns
of the city, which are sold to bondholders
free from all taxes, $201,02.92. The amount
required for this purpose In 1916 will bo
$300,000.
Most of the budgets submitted to the
members of the Finance Committee of
Councils are In excess of the amounts
asked for and allowed for the current
year, and the work of "paring" down
Is likely to prove unusually difficult this
year.
