The Rapid Transit Company's skip-,
Btop system has been vindicated by the i
commltteo of thirteen named by tho'
company to report on tho workings of
the system planned originally as a war
time economy measure.
Tho next move of the company will
bo to acquaint tho car-rldera with the
committee's findings and ask the public (
to vote on tho matter of retaining the
system.
Tho report of the committee says no
evidence h.iB been presented to It to
show that skip-stops havo caused any
fatalities.
Accompanying tho report of the com
mltteo was a statement submitted by
Coroner Knight, which showed that
during tho year 1918, there were 111
trolley case fatalities reported to his de
partment. This was an Incrcaso of
fifty-seven over 1917, and tho largest
number In any ono year slnco tho Intro
duction of trolleys In Philadelphia, as Is
shown by tho following statement:
In lflOfl thfre wre St accidents
In 1007 there were 97 acclaenH
In 1008 there were KB accident
In 1009 there wre 7'J accidents
In 11)10 there worn In; accident
In 1011 there were 79 accidents
In 1912 there were so accident
In 1913 there were "3 accident
In 1814 there were f.7 accident
In 1013 there were 4K accidents
In 101(1 there were 4" accidents
In 1017 thehe wre S4 accidents
In lots thero wero 111 accidents
In conclusion Coroner Knight says:
"When wo consider tne great number
of people brought to Philadelphia by
tho necessities of the war and tho great
manufacturing plants, which Is esti
mated nt E0O.000, thte Incrcaso In tho
accidents li but a normal Increase, con
sidering tho great Increase In our popu
lation, most of whom were strangers
nnd unfamiliar with tho streets and tho
street car lines."
The report of tho commltttce, as
adopted, reads:
"The committee feels that It has made
every effort tp secure evidence on the
subject In hnnd of alleged fatalities and
other casualties, and now reports on
such evidence as It has been able to
gather.
"The commltttec, therefore, finds as
follows :
"First. That there has not bcerf pre
sented to tho Commltteo of Thirteen
any evidence to Justify tho charges
mado that deaths havo been caused by
skip-stops.
"Second. That thero has not been fur
nished to tho commltttco any evidence
to prove that any other casualties havo
been caused by the operation of skip
stops. "Third. The commltteo feels that the
wholn question of tho continuance or
discontinuance of skip-stops an a sys
tem Is ono that It has no power to de
termine. In the regular governmental
channels thero are proper trlbunnls for
the determination of this question. The
committee Is Informed that an ordinance
dealing with skip-stops Is pending In
the City Councils, and that the matter
has also been submitted to the Public
Service Commission for consideration
by that body.
"In addition to this, tho committee
has been Informed by tho president of
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company
that the company proposes to submit the
question of tho continuance or aboli
tion of skip-stops to a popular vote of
tho car riders on each line, that tho
riders may determine the case.
"The Commltteo of Thirteen feels that
In view of the foregoing it would be
beyond Its scope to determine any mat
ter beyond the fatalities and other cas
ualties In connection with skip-stops.
"This report was adopted unanimously
by the Commltteo of Thirteen."

servo all the parishes and compete with
none.
