Some teferrod to the fact that Speaker Ppnng- I lor, in rafher unprecedented fashion. appeared before the House nppropria tions committee and personally urged Its members to exercise the greatest care In I tcTUtinizing all appropriation bills. He i urged economy, and, whore deemed ad visable, investigations into requests for ' appropriations. As the speaker is u friend of Mr. Grundy it was said that he was reflecting the Grundy idea How- I erer, the spenkcr has been making sim- , liar suggestions since he took office j The Spangler speech to the approprin tions committee was delivered unex-1 pectedly late estordn afternoon, fol lowing the appearance of Mr Grundy has nevertheless stirred up n wealth of gossip. It is pointed out that the Spangler speech fits in vcr well with the Grundy plan of insisting upon econ omy so that u tax on mnnufactunug corporations will not be forerd by the state administration the local authorities?" Council or the major, or both, or the transit depart ment alone? I'ndoubtodly this question would have to be passed on bj the l'nbllc Service Commission us well as the genornl prop oMtion of allowing trackless trollejs in I'hllailelnhin or at uny other point. The bill sets forth that street rnllwnj companies are "hereby uuthorixed to i operate vehicles, without the use of mils or tracks, bj electricity distributed bv overhead wires, in addition to exist ing facilities of snid cointianles. nrovldcd that the ennsi nt of local authorities 1 shall be obtained jirlor to the operation of said vehicles within the limits of any iitv, borough or township." Hoprcsontatlvo Craig, of Erie, the author of the bill, explained today that he intended the measure to meet a con- I dition purely local to the city of Krie, In that citj. he said, it is desired to run cross -town bus lines for the pur pose of making connections with Intern! ttollej lines. Mr. Crulg admitted that the terms of the bill were general nnd that If It passed In Its nresent shnno the Philadelphia Knpld Transit Co. could! operate the nnie kind of n line or HnCH. Mr. Crnli; added tlmt he did not want his bill held up because of nnv objec tions which might arise In Hilladrlphla. Itecnuse other cities might object, through their delegations in the House, Mr. Craig will look up the Inw to do tortulne whether the bill can be made to apply to only those cities In the same classification ns Hrle. If the bill were amended along that line, and the amendment were constitutional, then, of course, Philadelphia's compnnv would not be permitted to run wich n trackless liolloj Mr. Craig said that "bv consent of local authorities" It was intended thnt eltj council should determine whether the franchise was to be grunted.
