MAYOR FAVORS
TAYLOR CHANGE
IN TRANSIT LOAN
Smith Declares for Amend
ment of Roxborough
Subway Plan
NO FIGHT IN PROSPflCT
Mayor Smith today gave tils full In
dorsement to the amendment to tho tran
sit ttnd port loan bill suggested by former
Transit Director Taylor as a means of
remedying two defects In paragraph five
; or the iilll describing the route or tne sun-
way-elevated line to rloxboroush. The
Mnvopsald the defects nolnted out bv tho
fri. former director had nrobablv been over
looked In the drafting of the bill and that
they should bo corrected before tho bill Is
passed,
Tho amendment na suggested will pro
vide that tho section of tho subway
elevated to run on Henry street bo either
an open-cut subway or an elevated and
will specify moro clearly tho rnuto of
the proposed lino. An open-cut subway. It
Is pointed out, would mean a largo saving
to tho city In construction rost. hi de
fining the lino no chango of route Is con
templated and only a minor defect In
phrasing will bo corrected.
TAYI.Olt KSOWS HKKT.
"Mr. Taylor Is better acquainted with
the details of tho plans than those who
drafted tho bill." tho Mayor said, "and his
suggestions should bo followed. Tho de
fects which ho points out no doubt were
overlooked when the bill was drafted and
I think they should be corrected with
out delay."
Chairman Oaffney, of tho Finance Com
mittee, nnd Chairman Seger, of tho sub
committee, ngreo that the amendment will
probably bo made tomorrow on tho floor
ot Councils when tho $(17,100,000 port and
transit Improvement ordinance comes up
for action. To pass tho amendment It
was explained would only require a ma
jority vote.
Mr. Scger said he did not know ot nny
ono who was planning to make the amend
ment, but he added:
"If no ono else offers It I may do so
myself."
The fifth paragraph ot the loan bill
now reads ns follows:
Fifth. Toward tho construction
nnd Improvement, and In payment of
Interest and sinking fund charges of
u subway railway extending beneath
tho Parkway from a point ot connec
tion with tho rity Hall, Into Fair
mount Park near tho Green street en
trance, and an elevated railway con
necting with tho same, extending
thenco over 2Dth 3treet. Henry n venue
nnd Illdge avenup to Koxhorough
seven millions (Ive hundred thousand
(J7.COO.000) dollars.
Under tho Taylor amendment It would
read:
Fifth. Toward tho construction
and Improvement and payment of In
terest nnd sinking fund charges of a
subway railway extending beneath the
I'arkway from a point of connection
with the Uroad street subway at or
near the City Hall, Into Fnirmount
Tark, near the Creen street entrance,
nnd nn clovatod railway correction
with tho same, extending north over
20th street, thenco to Henry street,
together with an extension thereof
to Itoxborough, which extension may
bo In whole or in part3 cither elevated
or open subway? soven million Ave
. - hundred thousand (7,500,000) dollars.
WON'T DISCUSS PROPOSAL.
The Mayor today declined to make any
comment upon the suggestion ot Walter
F. Balllnger, a Philadelphia architect, that
the plan of tho Broad street subway bo
abandoned and that one of tho streets
between Broad and the Delaware Itlvcr
be widened to -50 feet and an elevated bo
constructed from League Island to Tabor.
Tho Mayor said Mr. Balllnger had taken
, his proposition up with him, but ho would
make no comment upon It.
When asked whether ho thought the
loan bill should bo delayed at this time in
order to glvo consideration to tho sugges
tion tne mayor replied:
"I have nothing to say to that, cither."
The reports ot the engineers of tho Key
stone State Construction Company, who
are examining tho foundations of City
Hall to determine how the work on the
Broad street subway und til's Island sta
tion shall proceed, will probably bo iriada
public tomorrow, when Transit Director
Twining will return from Toledo. The
Mayor said today tho engineers will muke
their report directly to Mr. Twining and
not to himself.
TERMS TO BK DISCUSSED.
The terms upon which tho Keystone
Company la to resume work will bo dis
cussed after the engineers have reported.
It Is generally admitted that the founda
tions will have to be rebuilt In part, and
tha only consideration will bo the amount
tho Keystone Company shall be paid for
the additional work and under what terms
of the present contract the work can bo
undertaken.
Mayor Smith, discussing conditions un
der. the City Hall, said:
"I do not think it was an exaggeration
when It was said that the foundations
were little more than stones dumped Into
trenches. My own observations showed me
that mortar had been sparingly used and
hat the foundations Instead of being wider
at the bottom wero narrower than at the
top and therefore particularly dangerous
when the earth around them was removed.
These conditions were known to those
Jn charge of the subway work before I
came Into oillce. The work about the
City Hall was virtually at a standstill
pending some agreement ns to the method
of dealing with the conditions.
"I went down Into the work and what
I eaw convinced me that further work
would be dangerous. With the appoint
ment of Mr. Twining, I turned the matter
over to him entirely. He In turn con
firmed my beliefs. Then It was that I
told blm to work out other details for
correcting the condition and avoiding the
danger that existed. I have since visited
the excavations, and conditions existing
there are almost unbelievable were they
not bo evident."
