PLAN TO BOYCOTT TROLLEY
Members of tho transnortjiHnn rnm.
mlttco of tho improvement associations
of tho northeastern section of tho city
called on Mayor Moore today nnd made
two recommendations for the relief of
tho transit situation In Holmcsburg and
vicinity.
Their first recommendation is that nn i
Immediate investigation be made by the
Department of'Cltv Trnnnlt nt Mm mh.
dltlon of the Frankford, Tocony and
"" uuifl uui-ci Atuuwuy yO.
This road, they nsscrtcd, has become
a mennce to enr riders. They want the
traction company compelled to fulfill
its franchise obligations.
Their second recommendation Is that
the Mayor lend his support for the
completion of tho Frankford "L" to
Rlinwn street.
"The ordinance reads for nn elevated
from Arch to Ithawn streets, and au
thorized a loan sufficient for this pur
pose,'" William Bonl, spokesman for
tho committee, told Mnyor Moore.
"An elevated to Itlmwn street will
open up thirty miles of the best land
In the entire city. It will permit large
scale liomu-bulldlng. nnd relieve the
shortage of homes."
Completion of the "h" to Rhnwn
street would ennblc residents of tho
northeast section to bojeott the Frank
ford, Tocony und Ilolmcsburg line, he
said.
Present construction plnns of tho
Frnnkford elevated carry It only to
Bridge street.
Members of tho commlttco Included
Councilman Horn, William F. Knaucr,
secretary of tho Ilolmcsburg Improve
ment Association; James II. Perry,
Hnrry N. Solly, William Clnro, L. N.
Castor, Frank M. Kilcoyno nnd Mr.

GRIBBEL IS HONORED
Tendered Banquet In Scotland After
Presenting Burns's Manuscripts I
John Orlbbel, former president of the
Union League, has been signally lion-
ored by Scotsmen in Glasgow, the event l
being the presentation by Mr. Grlbbel j
of the Glen Riddle manuscripts of Rob- I
crt Burns, of Scotland. !
The Bums Federation entertained ,
Mr. Grlbbcll nt 11 bonnuet. IIo wns
made the first honorary member of the
Burns House Club.
In his uddress at the banquet Mr.
Grlbbel said all the world was a debtor
to Scotland, nnd his own country wns
deeply indebted to it for John Knox
and tho gift of public schools. Another
gift for which his country was indebted
to Scotland, he said, was Robert Burns.
A great' deal of tnlk has been heard
about the League of Nations, he said,
but there was one tiling this wnr-torn,
huugry, nchlng world needed worse than
n league of nations, and that was a
closer understanding between Great
Britain nnd the United States.
