Trolloy Cars May Bo Rorouted
Over Locust Street if
Change Is Adopted
POTTER PROTESTED TO P.R.T.
Trolley tracks may be removed from
Ransom street by the Itnpld Trnnslt
Company and cars rerouted over Lo
cust street.
William Potter, head of the board
of trustees of Jefferson Jiedicnl Col
lege, has protested to the company that
noise mnde by tho trollejs in the block
between Tenth and Eleventh streets is
annoying patients. He asked that the
cars be rerouted "along some other
street."
The company sayR it Is not averse to
the suggestion and priinls out that such
n plan for rerouting has nlready been
taken up in view of the unusual con
nrtlnn In Hmisom street caused by de
livery wagons and parked automobiles.
Councils will probnbly bo nsked to
authorize the laying of track along Lo
cust street between the blocks now cov
ered by trolleys that make the loop into
Snnsom street. Theso blocks arc be
tween Tenth nnd Eleventh streets;
Twelfth nnd Thirteenth streets, nnd
Fifteenth nnd Sixteenth streets.
Would Eliminate Delays-
Tho plnn is part of the company's
general scheme to improve trolley serv
ice through elimination of delays in
running time of the enrs. It argues
that congestion by teams and automo
biles along business btrects and the
"dragging" of cars causes not only a
heavy financial loss to the company but
puts trolley riders to much inconvcu
icocc Thomas E. Mitten, president of the
company, takes tho stand that better
service would increase the number ot
trolley riders nnd increase the com
pany's income from passenger traffic
so as to make permanent the five-cent
fare rate. Mr. Mitten has virtually
committed the company to n main
tenance of this rate of fare.
Baltimore Seeks Information
From Baltimore comes the suggestion
that tho city authorities there delegate
directors of the United Hallways Com
pany, of that city, to visit Philadel
phia and "feco how Mitten does it."
The suggestion was made to Mayor
Hroening, of that city, by W. H.
I.oifue. Jr.. its industrial agent.
"May I suggest," wrote Mr. I.ogue
to Baltimore's mayor, "that the city
of Baltimore bend the United Hallways
directors to the city of Philadelphia
-o that they may have the opportunity
tu learn from Mr. Mitten how a real
-treet railway system is operated?"
The suggestion has not yet been
idopted.
Ih Mr. Mitten's opinion "honest
dealing, efficient manugenient and ef
fective workers" is the solution of the
problem.

When friend husband wants 'o econ
omize in these dn.s of the high cost
of living, he begins to slash his wife's
wardrobe allowance.
This is according to Rosnl Meeker,
United States commissioner of labor
stntistics. And Mr. Meeker ought to
know, since he hns just finished a sur
vey of the country for the Department
of Labor conducted during 1018 nnd

Mr. Meeker snjs :
"It is interesting to note that when
economies nre necessary they nre mnde
largely nt the expense of the wife's

every nddltion to the family cuts deeper
into this item."
Mr. Meeker brings out the point
