Ho tiled from gas poisoning while fighting with the Canadian forces In France. An emphatic protest ngalnst the Smlth Mittui transit grab by r.llwood U. Chapman, president of the Chestnut Street Business Men's Asoclatlon, nnnounced opposition to the plan of 7000 employes of the Philadelphia Navy Yard who have planned a mass-meeting of protest nnd the state ment by Senator MCNichol that he would this afternoon sign the contracts for the subway work to be done by tho Keystone State Construction Company were 'three Important developments In the transit sit uation today, day's developments In tho transit situation. Tho protest from tho Chestnut Street association was In the form of a letter to Transit Director Twining. Attention was called to the fart that the voters of Phila delphia had ratified tho Taylor transit plan, which provided for the nbolitlon of ex change tickets nnd the granting of free transfers between tho high-speed routes nnd also between the high-speed system and the surface lines. Mr. Twining was als orcmlhded In Mr. Chapman's communication that the people had voted approximately $00,000,009 toward the building of the city's high-speed y lines as provided by"the Taylor system and -that failure to carry out any part of It was a lepudlatlon of the voters verdict. Jt wag pointed out that 'the lease now v being considered would give the company u very strong guarantee of n' 6 per cent dividend cumulative from the date upon which tho rontract would become effective, although only S per cent of such dividend would bo payable In cash until after the Itroad street subway and delivery loop had " begun operation. m:tti:r of protest Mr Chapman's letter follows: In response to your letter of August 31, I would llketo have some further-Information, for First. I am still Inclined, to believe that the form of lease now being considered would give the 1. R. T. Company a very strong guarantee of a 6-per-cent divi dend, cumulative from the date upon which the contract would become effective, although only 5 per cen. of such 6 per cent cumulative dividend would be pay able In cash until after the Broad street subway and delivery loop have begun operation. We are having this question looked Into with very great care, and I hope that you will give It some further con sideration, especially with .regard to what the "fare requirements"' of the con tract nre, which are referred to In the third paragraph of Article XXIII; and, the fact that, as per Article XXII, Sec tion 1, the company shall make, In the order named, from t)ie gross revenue of each fiscal year, deductions or payments properly chargeable against the gross rcvenuo of said year, . If such deductions or payments are "properly chargeable against the gross revenue of said year," would not Items t and 10 become part of the fare require ments of such year? ' Furthermore, are not tha terms of the forgoing paragraph mandatory? Wo nre unable to understand how It Is possible to evade the payment of Item No. 9' out of gross revenue, when It is the Interest on city bonds held In the blnklng fund. Surely the city can't make default In the payment of the Interest on Its obligations even if the same are held In the sinking fund. Both the city and the company nre committed, apparently, under the terms of tho contract to pay Item No. 9 cov ering this part of the city's Interest out of gross revenue, ns provided In Article XXII, Section 2; and no payment could bo made on account of Item No. 9 until nil cumulative payments due under Item No. 8, Including 6 per cent cumulative dividends on company's $30,000,000 of capital stock, have been made In full. I'lease do not misunderstand our posi tion. We are not opposed to Uie city's giving the I R. T, Company an assured 5 per cent return, as 'provided In the Taylor lease, plus one-tenth of the re mainder; but we do not wish to run the rlfk of giving the P, R. T, Company a per cent cumulative guarantee.
