Following a two-hour discussion of the various pro visions of the lease, during which numerous acrimonious personalities were exchanged, the delegates from the seventy-live assocla. tlons comprising tho United Association, gathered at the Hotel Bingham last night, unanimously Indorsed six fundamental prin ciples which they will insist be incorpo rated in the lease. Four of the six principles support the objections to tho lease nil fed by former Transit Director A. Merrltt Taylor. Mr. Taylor said today that the nctldn taken by the United Association was of the great est Importance. The association went on record In favor of the suspension of all construction work, excepting the Frankford "It" and the othcr contracts already let, until prices have be come more nearly normal. This action was taken only after a bitter debate, In which It was charged that some members of the association were trying to make It the tool of the Philadelphia rtapld Transit Companj William Hancock, former president of the association and one of the city's three mem bers on the 1'. 11. T. dlrectoiate. was ac cused of unfairness to the association and of "trying to carry water on both shoulders" by William A. Dunlap. president of the Falrmount Avenue Association. mi:an a nuw i.kask The six principles which the United will demand be written Into the Snilth Mltten lease and which will mean virtually a new lease, were presented as the Joint re port of the transportation and law commit tees and tho board of directors. These prin ciples follow: The permanent abolition of tho three cent exchange ticket and all regulations of fare vested In the Public Service Com mission. .. , That no guarantee should be allowca by the city of cumulative 6 . per cent dividends or any other cumulative dll- Th'at the creation of a board of super visors such as Is proposed should be eliminated. , , , That explicit bjlpulatlons should pro vide for the- needed facilities, extensions and Improvements in the present surface system.

Kdwln M. Abbott, chairman ot the law committee, who presented the report em bodying the six principles, made It clear that the action of the association did not mean that It would now turn back to the old Taylor lease. TAYI.OIt LEASH OPPOSED. TOO "Some time ago," he said, "a lease known as "The Taylor Lease' was rejected by Couu. ells after this association had objected to the same. We still maintain the same unan imous position In regard to the Taylor lease as wo did when we rejected It" C. Oscar Beasley. counsel for the Over brook Association, made a strong ple,a for elimination of the underlying companies with their watered stock. Those who defend the legal right ot these underlying com panies to keep their watered stock he scored bitterly, nmong them former Transit Direc tor Taylor. "I talked over this matter with Mr. Tay lor," ho said, "and he Insists that this water cannot be disturbed because It Is protected by contracts, and contracts are sacred. In other words, Mr. Taylor means this Is holy water." 24TH WARD RECOUNT GIVES "50-50" RESULT One McNichol Candidate for Councils Named and Delegation Was Equally Divided A recount of the votes cafct at the last primary election In the Twenty-fourth Ward gives the McNichol and Vare forces a "fifty fifty" deal n Councils.
