Mnyor Smith today put Into full u't
his proponed campaign of "fullest pill ' i
'which ho nald would be followed before the
proposed transit Icaio between the rlty and
tho Philadelphia Transit Ciinpany In rati
fied by Council.
When tho Mayor reached his olllce he
Bent for Director of Transit Twining, with
whom he rnnfeired Later he rent for
Colonel Sheldon Potter and William Han
cock, both of whom are tho rlty'M lepre
sentutlies on the directorate of tho P. 11 T.
Colonel Potter wii unablo to coino to the
Sir. Hancock arilved after tho Mayor bad
left, but bo went over tho draft of the
lease with tho Transit Director. Another
caller was Kdwnrd A. Noppel, president
of the I'nlted Huslncss Men's Association
When Mr. Noppel left the Mayor's of
fice he said:
"After my cursory examination I would
any that thero are a great many lmproic
ments In tho new lease over tho one of
fered by the P. It. T. Of course, thero
may be noma minor points to which soino
persons mlRht object, but that It only
natural. You can't draft nny kind of nn
agreement that will please cvcribodv"
Mr. Xoppel announced that ho would call
a special meeting of tho transportation
committee of his organization a wick from
next and take up the new leaso
Director Twining said that Colonel Pot
ter, who yesterday called on him mid looked
over tho lease, expressed himself as being
highly pleased with the new agreement
Mayor Smith left fqr Atlantic City at 1:34
oclock this afternoon. He will return to the
city next Friday. Hefore leaving ho at
tempted to Ret Into touch with City Solici
tor Connelly, but was unablo to do so, be
causo Mr. Connelly Is out of town Tho
Mayor said that ho understood Colonel
Potter was sending him a letter Indoislng
the lease.
In spite of tho fact that the terms of the
lease have been thoroughly discussed and
agreed upon by city and company conferees
and that tho leaso ordinance will be Intro
duced In Councils on Friday of next wesk,
tho Mayor declared that' ho and lilt advisers
atand ready to welcome nny constructive
criticism or to be told of nny Haws or de
fects In tho draft.
"This transit lease." the Mayor said, "It
the biggest thing which will roiuo up during
rny administration. It rovers a period of
nearly half n century, Invokes millions
and .millions of dollars, and I have made
it so much n personal matter that my
reputation both as Mayor nnd as an In
dividual depends upon whether It It
honest and nboveboard Vnr this reason I
am determined that It shall bo the best and
fairest contract posslblo to ncciiro for tho
cltlKcns of Philadelphia."
MAYOIVS PrnUCITY PLAN
TI13 publicity rnmpilgn, the Mayor went
an to cxplnln, will have two phases
First, representative citizens nnd leaders
f business organization will be requested
to como to the Mayor's nfflco and go over tho
terms of tho lease with him and his ad
visers before tho draft Is admitted to coun
cils on tho 17th of this month. Ity this
means he hopes to weed out any possible
big faults In tlmo to have them corrected
tn tho coundlmanlc ordinance.
Second, tho Uaso will bo dissected, par
agraph by paragrapn, at a seile.i of public
hearings to bo held before Councils' Joint
finance and street railways committee. It
tsrlll then bo reported back to Councils for
action only after cipry person Interested
has had an opportunity to bo beard.
"All this will tako time," tho Mayor
continued, "but wo can well afford to go
a llttlo slow on a matter of such vast Im
portance. To savo tlmo at tho jiibllc
hearings I shall suggest that only thoso
persons speak who have definite Criticisms
to make. To offer Indorsements of tho
lease will only waste time, and tho only
defense of tho lease will bo given by the
Transit Director In nnswer to tho sugges
tions and criticisms which aro tnado.
"As u part of tho first step I havo re
quested Colonel Sheldon Potter nnd Wil
liam Hancock, the two men who serve
with mo as the city's representatives on the
board of tho Philadelphia Hapld Transit'
Company, to como to my olllce today I
will lay tho draft bofore them first be
cause of their position of dual Interest.
Later this week 1 shall send for repre
sentatives of the United lluslness Men's
Association and take up all the details of
the lease with them.
LEASE A SIMrLK DOCUMENT.
"Then cm Monday next will bo held the
final conferenco of tho men who drafted
the lease. Doctor Lewis will return from
Maine, Mr. Drum, the consulting engineer
for tho Transit Company will return to the
city, and Dlrecttr Twining and myself will,
go over with them all tho defcctH or Haws
which may have been discovered, and the
leaso will be put Into final shape.
"As soon as this Is dono It will bo pre
sented to City Solicitor Connelly for his
views. And it will bo In such shape when
It reaches him that he can pass upon It
In two or three hours. Simplicity char
acterizes tho entire document."
The Mayer was asked If ho thought tho
City Solicitor would content to paw upon
the lease without a careful Investigation
of all tho legal questions Involved.
"I have talked to Mr. Connelly," he re
plied, "and I know the lento. Therefore
I say be can pass upon It within n few
hours. It Is so simple. In fact, that a aohool
child can understand It, Simplicity and
tho omission of nny nrn.bIsuous phraseology,
Mr, Stotcsbury and I agreed Homo weeks
ago, must bo the basis for the new pact."
Mr, Connelly, however, when asked
whether he could approve tho leaso In such
a short .time wan not so certain as tho
Mayor and refused to make any statement,
except to admit that he had not Been the
lease as yet,
TAKES KAP AT McfJAIlVEY
The Mayor also took occasion to rap John
K. McQarvey, chairman. of the transporta
tion commltteo'of tho Allied Iluslricst Men's
Association of West Philadelphia, which Is
working for tho Flfty-sfxth street , cross
town line. Mr. McOarvey announced sev
eral days ago that unless tho Mayor lent
his support to the project an amendment
would be offered to the transit lease on the
floor of Council providing for tho Immediate
construction and operation of the proposed
surface line,
"It certainly seems the limit o't presump
tion," observed ths Mayor, "for' Mr, Mc
Oarvey to say that he Is going to have the
leaso amended before ha has any Idea
whether or not ths thing which he wants
s provided In It Ills threat of reprisals
-' .at the polls In November doesn't mean a
. Vnap to me. What do I care whom they
sand to Councils from West Philadelphia?
iTb Counc'Imen are sent to represent their
' ,entltueMsj"and not to represent me."

Reformers Decide to Name
46th Ward Select Councilman
NONPARTISAN PROGRAM
John M Walton. City Controller, today
placed himself nn terord as being opposed
to giving cotisiimert the benefit of n fho
rent reduction In gas charges which w'll bo
brought about Jnnuitiv 1, I9IS, when the
I'nlted fins Ituprowmeiit Coaipiny Is un
der contrnit tn rnliico Its price tn the dtj
from eighty cents tn seenty-IHo cents a
thousand cubic feet.
Thousands of householders and ninny
politicians are Interested In the dltP's!tlnn
of this saving of fl cents per thousand
nihil" feet.
The romp.tnv now charges the consumer
tl fur one thofrnnd cubic feet, nnd tho
Iweiit) cents over tho price allowed It under
the lease with the city, goes Into the City
Treasury At present Ihore Is widespread
speculation as to whether thn next (lve-ceni
eduction nlsn will be placed hi the City
TieiiHury or will go dliectly to tho consumer
In tho form of nlnely-lve-cent gnB.
In this eia of high prices, when It It be
coming dally inoio dllllrult for the ncrngo
taNi.ier and householder tn meet current
expenses, the sentiment In Philadelphia
among gas useis Is that th imniedlato
benefit of the reduction should be passed on
to the i onsumer
Already the suggestion Is heard on mnny
sides that no man should be elected to
Councils this fall unices he idfdgcs himself
to a maximum prlco of n!.?ty-flvo cents for
gas,
In opposing tho plan to glvo the con
sumer tho benefit of the flo-eent reduction,
Controller- Walton nld"
"It It nljvoltitely necessary flint this
money bo turned Into tho City Treasury.
We need tho levenuc, and if we don't
get It out or tho gas wo will have to get
It Mime other way. It amounts to Indl
lect taxation, and if wo .should give Phila
delphia iiltiely-lhp cent gas at this time wo
should hae to place a tax of a lew additional
cents upon real estate, and real eslnto is
already burdened enough The gas plant Is
liaylng tin a handsome Interest on tho
amount of our Investment, and there Is no
reason why wo should curtail tho city's
Income from that source In any way.
"Ninety-five cent gas would not bilnj; nny
lenl benefit to the people at this tluip he
cause wo should have to get the money out
of them some other ivaj "
Tho lensn of the gas works by tho city to
the I'nlted (Jan Inipinvement Company Is
for a period of thirty years, until December.
IV'i". The lease Includes all property owned
by tho clly nnd heretofore used In tho mnnu
facturo and distribution of gas, and any
change, nltera'tlons, repairs, etc., during tho
leaso aro to bo mado by the company at Its
own cost.
Tho charge to consumers (Including those
resident In tho Twenty-first Ward) Is tl
per luoo culilc ieet, unless reduced by the
enactment of nn ordinance, but this ordi
nance shall not nt any time reduce the
price below tho following: Until and Includ
ing December 31, 1012, clghty.flve, cents per
thousand feet, fiom January 1, 1913, until
and Including December 31, 1917, eighty
cents per thousand cubic feet; from Jan
uary 1. 191 S, until and Including December
31, 1927, scventy-flio cents per thousand
cubic feet.
