Ship-Stop Views of P. R. T.
and Citizens Conflict
"No plan Is worth while which
causes Increased fatalities, but tho
skip stop is not so chargeable "
T. E. Mitten, president of P. Ii. T.
Company.
"This constant .tilling is appall
ing and something immediately
must be done." Select Councilman
Ira D. Qarman.
"The skip stop s stem Is being
maintained under the fiaudulent
pretense of patriotism." Council
man Louis Kaistaedt.
"It is a clear question of the: lives
of citizens or dollars for the transit
company." JIaghtiate llo'beil Cat
son, Complaint should be made to the
Public Service Commission against the
skip stop, accotdlng to Colonel Sheldon
Potter, one of the city directois on
the Philadelphia K-jpid TtauKlt Com
panj's boaid.
Colonel Potters suggestion followed
an Ultimatum from Thames 12. Mitten,
piesident of the Philadelphia. Rapid

mustcUonse, between .l continuance of
the sklp-stoo or higher fares.

Asked if he, as a iepieientatlve of

would tike any action, he i eplled that
It is not the duty of hla post to make
any such appeal to the Service Com
mission. Any piotest he mlht make
at a transit companj meeting, he
pointed out, would bb ineffectual us the

"All that the clU's dhcctois on the
P. R. T, Company board can do," he
said, "Is to obtain fust hand Informa
tion of the conduct of the company
arid transmit such information to the
public. If the public then confines its
activities to talking, naturulH nothing
is accomplished."
, Provision of representation on the
transit board for the city was foolish,
