THREE MOVES TO A
CHECKMATE
rpilERK have been three moves made
by the proponents of delay and emas
culation sines the news was wormed out
of the Mayor that he Intended to call In
a NewTork expert to tell the people
what kind of a transit operating agree
rnent they ought to have In place of the
one agreed to In principle by the P. It T.
First the Mayor announced that there
was no tentative agreement that he had
ever heard of.
Prompt production of the evidence, in
the form of an approval by the executive
oommlttee of the .directors of ths P. It T
exposed the fallacy of that claim.
Secondly, the Mayor declared that the
cc-operattve-agrrtment did not hold, any
way, because new lines had been added
atnee the agreement was msde.
Thereupon this newspaper Immedi
ately printed an excerpt from the agree
ment Itself, which expressly provided that
the agreement covered not only the lines
specifically named, but also any high
speed lines thereafter to be built Thla
knocked the ground from under the
second claim.
The third refuge toward which the ad
vocates of "expert" delay have turned la
the 1907 contract which they aver binds
the city to give the P. It T. a ninety-day
option in the matter of the operation of
any of the new lines.
We are able to knock that claim also
Into a cocked hat by the publication in
adjoining columns of an opinion rendered
by former City Solicitor Ityan, In which
that learned lawyer, now a member of the
Public Service Commission, atajes that
the P. it T. has no option of any kind
whatever on any lines to be constructed
by the municipality Itself.
rpim attempt deliberately to deny the
existence or Importance of the 1914
agreement thereby depriving the city of
an asset of unusual value in future nego
tiations, and to proceed de novo, throw
ing away the enormously Important work
done under Director Taylor, Is so flagrant
a sacrifice of the rights of citizens that it
is not conceivable they will endure It
Nor is It conceivable that they will tol
erate having a transit agreement made
under the virtual direction of a roan who
seems to have been called to Philadelphia
chiefly because he Is on record as In
principle opposed to many vital features
of the Taylor plan. He would doubtless
be an excellent representative for the P.
It T. In the negotiations, but as an ex
pert to represent the city of Philadelphia,
both on account of the conditions under
which he Is brought here and the pro
nouncements he has made here, he Is an
Impossibility. As well summon Demo
crats to write a Republican tariff law or
a Prohibitionist to put through a license
statute.
The entire proceedings of the last week
seem to be intended, first to cause delay,
and, secondly, to relieve the P. It T. of
the obligation under which it rests by
virtue of the 1111 tentative agreement;
thus enabling It to secure the main
thing which it is after, namely, a prefer
ential payment which would be to all In
tents and purposes a guarantee forever
of dividends on P. It T. atocx.
It may be possible to achieve the first
object, delay; but we venture the opinion
that there Is no group of politicians In
this city who can engineer the second.'

BEWARE THE BUNKIIOUNDI

AH Unlovely Things
The poor Bunkhound's feet are sore
from running about after the Mayor and
sundry members of his Cabinet, so we
have bought him a
little cabinet of his
own that Is to say, a
valise In which we
may tote him about to
various places when
he Is unable to walk.
We used it for the
first time yesterday
and took him to a
luncheon of the Rotary Club. He didn't
bite any one but us for the bad speech
we made but he growled horriflcally
while a Mr. Smith, of Syracuse, was
talking.
But, psychologically, the most Interest
ing thing we've noted about our Bunk
hound was his behavior during last night.
He moaned In his sleep and turned and
twisted and gnashed his teeth. It was
most curious. Toward morning he fell
Into a deep doze and there was almost
a smile upon his face. While he still
slumbered we read in our favorite morn
ing paper (and later In all the other
morning papers) of Mr. Hughes's "quick
trip to Philadelphia to address the,
Shrlners at Metropolitan Opera House."
Coming down town later ve learned It
was a hoax and that a double of Mr.
Hughes had fooled some of the audience
and all of the morning papers. And the
Bunkhound dreamed on and smiled.

In view of the doubCMtich teems
to exit I in certain quarters about
the rights of the city in the matter
of the construction and operation

Evening Ledger prints the legal
omni'on which A. Merritt Taylor
obtained from Michael J. Ryan

DEPARTMENT OK LAW OP THE
C1T1 OP PHILADELPHIA
May 11, 1915.
In re building of subway on Broad
street and, elevated on Krankford
avenue.
A. Merritt Taylor, Etq., Director, Depart
ment of City Trantlt, Bourse Building,
Philadelphia.
Dear Sir I have received your letter
of the 10th Instant In reference to on
ordinance which has been introduced In
Councils to authorize an Increase of the
Indebtedness of the city of six million
(6.000,000) dollars for the construction of
a subway In Broad street and an elevated
railway from Front and Arch streets to
Rhawn street, and asking three questions
with reference to the general subject con
nected with such Ordinance.
Tou ask: "
1. "Is the city obliged to offer the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company
j tho right to build the Frankford ele-
vated line, as provided in Article HI
of the contract of 1907,, before under
taking the construction thereof as a
municipality?"
I answer: When the ordinance and
contract of 1907 were passed and exe
cuted the city was without the power to
build subways, elevated railways or other
lines of transportation, and such ordi
nance and contract were drawn with that
fact necessarily in view. By Section 7
thereof the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company surrendered Its right to build a
subway in Broad street and Its right to
construct the Frankford elevated railway
was confirmed, the time for the building
thereof being extended to three years
from June 1, 1907. That period haa ex
pired and the Independent right of the
transit company to build the Frankford
elevated line has therefore lapsed.
Section 3 of the contract and ordinance
of July 1, 1907, provided that If In tho
future Councils should, either of Its own
initiative or upon petition, determine that
new lines of surface, elevated or under
ground railway ahould be constructed. It
should by ordinance determine the route
of such line and the terms and conditions
under which It shoved be built, financed
and operated, and the transit company
should thereupon have ninety days within
which to accept the plan so defined, and
certain terms and 'conditions governing
the construction and operation of aucb
nerr lines are there set forth. For in
stance, it is provided that any rights ac
quired by the company under the third
section should be subject to all the terms
and conditions of the contract with re
spect to a voice In the management, su
pervlslon of accounts, division of profits
and the ultimate acquirement of the
roads by the city, and provision Is made
for the raising of capital for building
these new lines by means of bond Issues
or by increase of the capital stock of the
oestpany, but It the said Rapid Transit
Compamy did not accept the plan so de
fined within the said amety days, then
and In that event tha preposition might
be made to any other astapany.

tod,. ,
ST mm basMs, M Is W say the
art Jtua M, uu PV HA a
power was veiled In cities of the first
class to purchase, lease, locate, con
struct end equip or otherwise acquire
transit facilities, and to own, maintain,
uso and opera! o the same within their
corporato limits and within the limits of
adjacent cities, boroughs and townships.
Tills power is separate and independent
from that which existed in 1D07 and re
lates to the construction or other acqui
sition of transit facilities by the city an a
municipality. When (he city, therefore,
detenninnt (o take advantage of the act
of 1913 and to build and operate railway
line-) or any cliaracler Its power to do sd
Is unrestricted, and It Is not obliged to
offer the option io the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company before It sliall Itself
proceed with tlte undertaking. These
considerations aro equally applicable both
to tho Frankfoidslevated line and to the
Broad street subway.
2. Tour second question Is directed
to the legality and propriety of the
form of the draft of the ordinance
authorizing the borrowing of the
sum of 6,000,000 for the purpose In
dicated. I answer: This ordinance la In the
usual and I think correct form, but It
would be better, though not Btrictly nec
essary, to add to the title the words,
"Via Front street, Kensington avenue
and Frankford avenue to Rhawn street."
This would preclude the possibility of a
claim being made on .behalf of any prop
erty owjier along the proposed route of
the elevated line that the title of the
ordinance did not fully disclose Its pre
cise location. The ordinance as drawn
follows tho forms heretofore used In au
thorlzlng the borrowing of money: "from
the highest bidder or bidders either by
popular subscription or by advertise
ment" This tform of expression Is pos
sibly subject to the literal criticism that
a loan issued by popular subscription
does not go to the highest bidder because,
the price being fixed in advance, there is
no bidding. It might be more accurate
to phrase It In this way: "Either by
popular subscription or from the highest
bidder or bidders by advertisement." I
do not regard this suggestion as esaen
tial.
As your third question, with Its sup
ptementary remarks. Is predicated upon
the supposition that the opinion of this
department might have beenSo the effect
that under tho provisions of the contract
of 1907 the city is bound to offer to the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company the
right to build tho Frankford elevated
line, and since such ts not my opinion, no
further answer is requisite. Very truly
yours, MICIIAEl. J, RYAN,
City Solicitor.
