A total of $69,000,000 Is now avnllnblo
for ttanslt development and port Improve
ments, under the constitutional amend
ment npproved nt tho polls Inst November
Increasing tho city's borrowing capacity
0n'".I ,0..?. pcr cel,t' A total of MO,
000,000 will bo taken from this amount
($3fi,000,000 for transit and $6,000,000 for
port Improvements) under tho municipal
loan now beforo Councils. This will leave
$29,000,000 still nvallablo for transit nnd
port
Director Twining, howover, under the
"progressive steps" system of construction
docs not contemplate any further loans for
transit within tho next three yonrs. In
the monnwhllc, tho remaining $29,000,000
will have become available for any public
Improvements provided nn amendment
now beforo tho State Legislature Is passed
nnd npproved by tho voters of tho State
nt tho November election In 1917.
At tho time tho amendment Increasing
the city's borrowing capacity from 7 to
10 por cent, was first considered tho re
striction making tho money avallablo for
port and transit only wnB opposed No
nction, however, was taken until tho 1916
Legislature, when Senator Vare Intro
duced a constitutional amendment pro
viding thnt the money bo avnllnblo for
any permanent public Improvements. Tho
nmendment passed, but under the consti
tution before It can become a law It will
havo to bo passed again In 1917, nnd
then submitted to tho voters of tho SUto.
Tho leaders In the fight for japld
transit Improvements which will benefit
nil tho sections of tho city, declaro that
tho recent developments, coupled with
Senator Vnro's nmendmeht, reveal n well
laid schemo to give Philadelphia only part
of the transit Improvements expected nnd
to divert the remainder of tho money to
other purposes
For this reason nn attempt will he made
to havo Councils Include n largo part of
tho remaining $29,000,000 available tinder
