"The tract Is only about ten nii'es 'from the center of the eit. nnd Is new readied by six street railway lines the " Terre.sdnle ncniie and Fex Chase lines, the two routes of the Frankford, Tacenj and Ilelmesburg lines, the route north en Frankford avenue, and- the ether l north en State read.

Pin Faith en "U" "In addition te these, the Frankford elevated should be complete by 1020 and would expedite traction service te the tract. "In the matter of reads, the tract has a big asset In the HoeHCvelt boulevard, j I : i which passes through It. The boulevard Is wider than three ordinary reads, nnd trnlDc from every direction can pass Inte It by lneann of nn outlying network of highways, and it would be the main nrtcrj of read traffic te the site. '"Ihe two miles of river front provide (mother means of neccss. Frelgnt and passengers could be brought dlicet te the exposition by steamships and river ex cursion beats." Mr Zenk sajs the cost of the expo sition would he reduced by the unusual adaptablllt) of the. tract. Virtually all the property, he said, exclusive of Pen nypack Park. Is fnrin land, upon which there are no modern buildings, The cost of condemnation ami demolition of buildings, he mldeil, would be very slight. "We have net entered Inte the tech nical problems of the exposition," says Mr. .oak "The-e are matters for the engineers and architects te negotiate. A number of the construction possibilities, however, are obvious at a glance. "Pennjpnek Creek, which runs through the entire tract, could be bridged and widened, and utilized in nuuatle exhibits and dlsplajs. Many permanent piers could be built en the Delaware Hler front te accommodate International traffic. Heady for Air Traffic "The Hustleten Air Field In Just north of the tract nnd there Is one te the east, but should these prove Insuffi cient te handle nlr traffic and accom modate axlntlen displays, there Is ample .level space available In the site for the construction of another (lying Held. "Hemily and art," he snjs, "would be lmHirtant factors In the success of the exposition nnd thnt in these ie spects the tract affords great oppoitunl eppoitunl oppeitunl ties te the architect nnd the engineer. "The land is rolling." he declares. "Verdiint hills and lewd stretelies, dotted with sturdy oaks and maples, provide an Idenl landscape fop the artists' hands.
