SERVICE BOARD DELAYS
TRANSIT HEARING AGAIN
Consideration of Convenience?
Certificates Postponed Because
of Magee's Absence
AINEY ANSWERS CRITICS
From a Staff Correspondent
HAHHISHUHO, April I.
Tho Public Service Commlislon has post
poned until tomorrow consideration of the
applications .filed by the city of Philadel
phia for certificates of public ronxenlcnce
to permit the Transit Department to pro
ceed with construction of the nrlous lines
of tho high-speed ssystem.
The absence of Commissioner Mngee,
who telegraphed Chairman Alncy early to
day that he could not bo In attendance
until tomorrow, was assigned the board
hs the rroson for tho postpnncnuut. Chair
man Alney announced, however, that t li
commission would take up for discussion
today several financial tnbles (lied by Tran
sit Director Twining two weeks ago,
AINI.Y AN.SWKHS CIUTICS
The sex ere criticisms of the commission
fbr Its long continued dela. culminating
last week in a letter from Mayor Smith
to tinvernor Urumlinugli, nsklng the latter
to use his personal lulluence upon the com
mission, called forth the following com
ment from Chairman Alnrj today:
"(overnor Brumbaugh Is out of town. I
had not heard of the note and will not see
It until the Ootcrnor loturns probably in
morrow. As for any delay the commission
may bo responsible for. I think we nic
entlt'ed to take a few months' time nnd
consider this matter carefully You must
remember that the engineers took five yenrs
to draw up tho plans for this hlgh-spmd
system."
Chairman Aurey went on to explain th.it
the executive seeslon tnd.iy was the first
held since February P. The meeting to
morrow will likewise In- an oxi-rutlw ses
sion nnd a third may be called for Wednes
day. Tho applications for the certitlcntes hv
been under consideration for moic than
three months without any decision hplng
tendered. During this time two public
healings wero held and one personal In
spectlon of the proposed lines wan inadi
by three membeis of the sertlco boaid
Should the commission fall to take
definite notion before noon tomorrow. Direc
tor Twining will be unable to award the
contracts for three -sections of the Hro.nl
street subway when.blds nro opened Three
contracts are already hung up in it similar
way ns a result of the commission's delay.
niDS IN Fl.nitfAHY
During the first week In February the
department opened bids for the three sec
tions of tho buhuny delivery loop. Dlicctor
Twining had expected that the commission
would have granted him authority before
the bids were scheduled to be opened. On
the contrary, the bids have been opened for
two months and no awards cm be made,
and consequently tna beginning ot the
actual wot I: Is being delayed Indefinitely
The dally loss to tho tnxpacrs In In
tciest and sinking fund charges on transit
bonds as a result of the delay is estimated
at approximately C80. Tho contracts for
which bids nro to be opened tonioirow, to
gether with three delltery loop contracts,
Intoltc about $15, 000,000
It Is understood that. the commission has
virtually ngreed to bow to the will of tho
city administration and tako affirmant e
act'on upon the pending certificates. Up to
the present time the members of the board
have been evenly ditided upon tne question,
three favoring Immediate action and three
holding off for further delay until the mat
ter of nn operator for the new lines was
definitely determined.
