be a Into Rummer nnd curly fall tnsk, and
If present plnni nro carried out ground
will be broken beforo tho winter months for
eecr.il of he moro Important undertakings.
Tn lir.it seven months of tho Smith
admit intloti have been given over to the
preparation of Improvement plans and
the long fight over the Taylor Trnnslt
plan took up tho time nnd attention of
tho Mnyor nnd Director Twining for sov
ernl months, almost to tho exclusion of
all other phases of tho comprchcnnlvo
scheme of municipal work. The preparation
of n new lapld transit plan occupied tho
attention of the Transit Department for six
weeks almost to tho exclusion of other pro
gressive work nnd In commenting on this
fact Solect Councilman Hnrry J. Trainer
proposed that the field and ofllco force should
not be paid for this period from transit
loan mon6ys. Illi suggestion Mas not
acted upon In tho Finance Committee of
Councils.
TUANBIT CONTItOVimSY.
While the trnnslt controversy was under
way Directors Dalesman and Webster were
at work on bridge and sewer work nnd on
port Improvements such ns piers nnd bulk
heads nnd now river front lines. The
srchltects In charge of tho Convention Hall
nnd the Art Palace v.ork hnve Completed
their work and Jtnyor Smith Is anxious that
v proposals for estimates be asked for at once.
Under the present administration no new
municipal undertakings have been started,
but work has progressed favorably upon
the Broad s'roet subway and tho Frankford
Eloynteil line. Work has also piogrcssed
upon city piers nnd the river front structures
are fast ncnrlng completion. Because of
this condition Mnyor Smith has not been
called upon so fnr to approve or disapprove
any municipal contracts of any considerable
size.
$5,ooo,ooo rqn deficiency dills.
The bond sale, which has been tenta
tively fixed for early In September, will bo
for approximately $15,000,000, and Included
wHI be nearty 5,000,000 for maintenance
end deficiency hills, A similar sum Is like
ly to be offered for the acquisition of land
along the Parkway and the tearing away
of structures purchasod by the city. Just
how much will be allowed for transit Im
provements has not been determined.
There Is still $3,000,000 of the $0,000,000
transit' loan nuthoiized last year that has
not been sold, apd this balanco Is likely to
be disposed of before other funds are sought
for transit. Director Twining, besides hav
ing complete plans for the II road street
suhway and the Frankford delated, has a
corps of engineers and draftsmen at work
on section plans for lines to be built tn
other parts of the city At this time it Is
understood that plans are not complete for
any one of the. lines designed to relieve
congestion in outlying section of the tltv
Work hns progressed to a point where It
la possible for the Director to lay before
Mayor Smith an Intelligent outline of his
activities for the next two years.
