P. R. T. MUST RESPECT 1914
AGREEMENT, TAYLOR SAYS
CftMe4 trm rate Ottt
fled to counsel for the Philadelphia TUpId
Transit Compsnr his wllllngnesa In sccept
these auggeatlons provided the tentative
agreement of 1H. changed only as per
these suggestions, ahould be ratined by the
companies be for A January 1. Hit These
suggested modification appear In the 19)6
annual report of the department on pge
fifty-seven to sixty-six, both Inclusive
DKt'AItTMnNTS II' COMMttS'DATtON
The Department of Pity Transit then
.renommehded that construction be started
ardthat the tentative agreement be rstlflH,
nd the people of Philadelphia have since
twice voiced their approval of the depart
ment's recommendatloni at general elec
tions held for the purpose of Increasing the
city's Indebtedness In the amount of K.2.
100.000, to enable the city to proceed with
the development
The tentative agreement by Its term
does not become operative until It Is rati
fied by the Union Trnctlon Company and
by the City.
The city Is, therefore, confronted with
the neceslty of taking Immediate step
to have this tentative agreement ratified
or to provide for the equipment and opera
tion of the city-owned high-speed lines
otherwise.
The c ty has tho necessary resources to
require prompt ratlllcatlon by the tTnlon
Trnctlon Company of the 1914 tentntlve
agreement, either with or without the afore
said modifications, and should. In my opin
ion, proceed promptly to require such, rati
Dcatlon. The elty haa, and If necessary, tlmutd
promptly exrrrlte, the authority to build
the so-eatled fhratnut street subway from
Front and Arch streets la Chestnut street
to West Philadelphia as a terminal connec
tion between the Krankford e1aated lino
and the Woodland nvenue elevated line.
This line would ptrnllel the present Market
street subway and would be n formidable
competitor of tho Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit system
The elty lias, and If necessary, should
promptly exerrUe, th authority to Hrriiro
Independent bids for the equipment and
operation of all city-owned high-speed
lines.
ALTRRNATIVH A FAIR O.N'Ii
It Is unthinkable that the Union Trnc
tlon Company would fall to ratify the ten
tntKe agrcment nnd thus force the city
to provide the high-speed facilities, which
are essential to the city and to the cltltens,
In a manner which would be detrimental to
the Interests of the existing street railway
system, when a fair agreement la tendered
which adequately protects tjielr Interest
a an alternative.
It appear from the City Solicitor's opin
ion of May II, Itll and from subsequent
actldn of the Court In the Dallam case,
and from subsequent action of ,h Publlo
Service Commission In granting Its certifi
cate of public comenlence (all of which ap
pear In appendices of the ItlS report of the
department) that the city Is not bound
under tho ISO? contract In availing Itself
of the authority conferred by tho act of
lit), which authorises the city to estab
lish subway and elevated lines
Thus It appears that the city Is not re
quired to first offer these lines to the Phlla.
delphla napld Transit Company, and. In
fact, the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany In specific terms waived any rights
which It might have had with relation to
the route occupied by the Frankford ele
vated and by the Ilroad street subway In
the contract of 1907,
CITIZENS PATIUNT
The cltltens of Philadelphia have been
very patient with the existing street rail
way company, for they have continued to
pay the Illegally discriminatory exchange
ticket charge, amounting to about 1900,000
per year, pending ratification of tho 1114
tentative agreement, which provides a
method for the elimination of the Illegally
discriminatory exchange ticket In a man
ner which affords protection to the net
Income of the companies In consideration of
their co-operation.
Tho Publlo Service Commission of the
State of Pennsylvania Is empowered by law
to require that the illegally discriminatory
exchango ticket shall he abolished. In sup
port of this contention I cite the opinions
of Michael J. Ryan, lq , City Solicitor,
dated April 2, 1914; George Wharton Pep
per, lc, dated March 20, 1914; William
A. Olasgow, I2aq , dated March 17, 1914;
William Draper Lewis. Psq , dated March
17, 1914; Tarker S. Williams, Iq, dated
March 19, 1914; Charles U McKeehan,
Iq, dated March 10, 1914, and 13. Gordon
Dromley, i:q , dated March 17, 1914, which
were Riven In reply to a letter nddrcsed to
them under dato of March 11, 1914, by the
Director of the Department of City Transit,
These opinions appear In full In appendices
of tho 1915 report of tho department. Ref
erenco Is also made to page 56, and
recommendations No. 2, page 128, No. 6,
page lit, aiMi No. ; rmtn it, ot the Hit
report of the) Avpartamrt.
Tha Urn he come when the people of
Philadelphia mart bo relieved promptly
from the Illegally discriminatory exchange
ticket chargea, by such co-oeratlve sr
rsngement with tho companies, or otherwise
by due process of law, which. If necessary,
must be Invoked by the Mf or by public
spirited citizens.
It would not be good ualness On the part
of the Union Traction Company to forfeit
the protection against loss, resultant from
the elimination of the exchange tickets,
which Is accorded In the 1914 agreement, by
falling to ratify tha same.
If further power should be needed by
the city It ma' be conferred by having en
acted the so-called through-routing hill,
which Is described on pages 34 snd
pendlx K of the 1515 report of the depart
sient and which Is printed In full In Ap
pendix IC, of the 1915 report of the depart
ment This bill was Introduced nt the In
stance of the Department of City Transit,
but failed of passage at the last session of
the Legislature If necessary, other efllra
flout trtUUdnn elieuld be enaetrd at Hie
next seolon of tho Legislature to protect the
IntrrraU of the rty of Phllailrlpliln, and of
the rKUeot or rhtlsdrlphla In the premiers.
The city should take a firm position nnd
make clear the iact thnt the 1914 tentative
agreement must either be ratified or the
city will proceed to establish an Independent
existing system, nnd that the Illegal nnd
discriminatory exchange ticket must be
eliminated forthwith, either aa provided
In the 1914 tentative agreement or by due
process of law Then I believe that the 1914
tentative agreement will bo promptly rati
fied and result In bringing Immediate and
great benefits to the city and to the cltl
xens, also to the Interests of every stock
holder of the Union Traction Company and
of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany, There Is no good reason nhalcver why
tho city should not proceed vigorously and
forcefully along these lines and bring about
a succestul conclusion to Its transit problem.
The appointment of a rommlislnn or of
new experts who are either unfamiliar with
or nppoird to the rlty's plan or proxram
of tranalt development should be avoided.
Messrs. Ford, Jlacon A Davis and that
firm's corps of specialists, trained In every
line Involved In the Investigation, spent
nearly four years In analysing every fsrt
and ngure relating to- tho city's transit
development and the effect thereof upon
the city nnd upon the companies from
every point of vlow.
IJvery flguro relating to any pertinent
question which could arise In the nego
tiation has already been' developed nnd Is
on l 'In the Department ot CKy J
The officials ot that department ore flJ
oiih iK- n,ihi nf ih.lf rievplonment na
with tho detailed facts and flgutes upon
Which they are based,
Furthermore, all of the facts with rela
tion to the Illegal and discriminatory ex
change ticket are on recent, and copies
thereof are available If necessary ior use
by public-spirited cltlxena,
IMrther unnecesary delay must oo
avoided by prompt and effective action by
the city or. If necessary, by public-spirited
cltltens who have the. welfare of the peopl
at heart

Thousands of men have a terror of fire as long
their homes are unprotected'.
Scarcely an hour that they do not think of their loved
ones at home and wonder if they are safe.
Monday, October 9, is National Fire Prevention Day.
One of the chief purposes of the day is to get these
thousands who are so vitally concerned in fire prevention
to act. Now is the time.
This week buy Pyrene. Next Monday observe the day
by showing every member of your family the quick, safe
and easy way to extinguish fires, with a few swift shots
from Pyrene before the fire grows big. Then you can
cease worry.
