TAYLOR'S WARNING TO THE PUBLIC
VACILLATION, delays, misrepresentations and politics have brought Phila
delphia's transit development to tho brink of destruction.
Coming events will soon prove this fnct.
When the construction of the high-speed lines is indefinitely postponed
and the car liders of Philadelphia arc thus denied the facilities and transfers
which were nrrnnged and made available on an equitable basis for their
relief, they will take the transit problem into their own hands and settle it
in their own interest, and I shall be glad to help them do it.

System
Mayor Smith's first official act today upon his return from the transit fight
at Harrisburjr was to sign the Councils' ordinance authorising Director of
Transit Twining to prepare a new lease for the operation of the city-built high
speed lines, to be submitted to the Philadelphia Rapid Trnnsit Company.
Tho Mayor announced that, following the defeat of the Salus transit bill
in the State House of Representatives yesterday, he was preparing n new plan
for rapid transit for Philadelphia, independent of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company. The bill which he signed today was passed by Councils last week.
The Mayor said his new transit program would be as follows:
Place the city in a position to operate its lines as a scparato
system, independent of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company.
To accomplish this, obtain authority for the construction of the
Chestnut street subway as essential to tho new plan.
Have Transit Director Twining file next Monday with tho Public
Service Commission an application for certificates permitting the con
' struction of the Chestnut street subway.
Upon the issuance of these necessary certificates order the work
of construction on all the lines to proceed with all practicable speed.
Have Director Twining, in pursuance of the order of Councils, '
proceed at once to prepare" a new contract for submission to the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company.
Seek independent operation of tho city-owned lines if the Phila
delphia Rapid Transit Company shall reject this new contract.
