I HEW TRANSIT PLAN
EVaS '
Northern and Southern Sec
tions Cheered at Council's Agl-
t
i tatlen for High-Speed Lines
THOROUGH STUDY REQUIRED
Business men and residents of the
Northern end southern sections of the
city expressed approval today of Count
ell renewed agitation for mere high
speed lines and, Improvement In trnffic
condition!.
Resolutions advocating Improvements
In this direction were adopted yester
day. Adoption of any of the plans
would require modification of the Tay Tay
eor comprehensive transit system con
ceived during Mayer Blnnkenburs's ad
ministration, and these In touch with
transit affairs and the legislation con
cerning it t-ay n thorough tudy of the
situation will have te be made.
Councilman von Tagen started the
transit and traffic ball rolling nt yes
terday's meeting.
At Mr. von Tagcn's request Council
adopted two resolutions, one cnlllng
upon the Director of Public Works te
furnish Council with nn estimate of
th cost of enenlne a north-nnd-fceuth
wide traffic boulevard between Delaware
avenue nnd Hread street nnd another
asking the City, Transit Department te
estimate first the con of constructing
a subway beneath Uread street from
Citv Hall te Olney avenue and then
the cett of erecting an elevated line I
en a nerth-nnd -south street from Mar
ket street te Olney avenue.
Four-Track Line
Mr. von Tagen's plan would call for
n four-track subway or elevated line
with lecnl and express trains truvers
lnc the structure.

would serve the lower end of the city
Mr. von Tagen. in urging the high
tpeed lines te the northern and north
western sections of the city, suggested
that It might be well te modify the
Tayler transit plan providing for high
speed facilities te the different locali
ties. He pointed out that six years
have elapsed since these plans were
drawn and that conditions have se
changed that possibly the construction
of a subway up North Bread street
would entail a prohibitive fare pos
sibly as high as twenty or thirty
cents.
The northern end of the citv is being
Starved, from a transit standpoint, he
aid,, and new that the Frankford
elevated matter has been satisfacterllv
settled, he Intends te push for high
epeed lines te the northern end of the
city.
Points te Congestion
, "Our traffic congestion enters into the
problem, tee," he said in presenting
his resolutions, "and if a subway Is
built In Bread street, it will have but
little effect en this congestion which
is increasing daily.
"On the ether hand. I believe con
sideration should be given te the open
ing of traffic boulevards, one betwpen
?i.--tlie'-Delaware River and Bread btreet,
preDaw -T.ievenui street, ana one be
tween Bread street and the Schuvl
kill either Seventeenth or Eighteenth
t a street sumcienuy wiue 10 relieve trnuie
1 ff congestion and upon which nn elevated
j" structure could be erected giving high
f Fneed service. Unon a wide teulerard.
he said, elevated transportation would
net be detrimental.
"In the final analysis .we must eon
rider, first, whether the Tayler plan Is
. still the best transportation plan for
the city; second, whether the construc
tion of a Bread street subway will carry
with It prohibitive fares, and third, we
must decide between the Tayier-pla:i
and some qthcr means of transportation,
which also will have a bearing en the
trnffic problem."
Mr. von Tagen suggested the con
struction of two beulcvnrds of from 150
te 200 feet in width paralleling Bread
street en which elevated structure?
could be reared. He said it would cei.
possibly as high as SS.00O.000 a mile
te construct the Bread street subway
provided for in the Tayler plan, se that
all of the 51S.00O.O0O nvallablu for the
construction of t'ne units embodied In
the Tayler plnn would be used up for
Bread street subway.
Mr. Hall declared that there had
keen a persistent effort te stifle the
Bread street subway at Erie avenue.
That structure, he said, should be
built, no matter what the cost. He
said the city transit department could
begin construction of it at once nnd
exhaust the $21,000,000 available for
the purpose and then ehtnln the funds
necessary te complete the read. He
suggested that Sir. von Tagen urge the
department te begin construction of the
Bubwny.at once.
Wider Streets
The congehtien of traffic, he main
tained, could be cared for by lifting the
tracks from Thirteenth aud Fifteenth
Btreets nnd widening these thorough
fares. Thus high-speed transit would
lie cared for en Bread street, while
traffic congestion would be eliminated
by the construction of the two wide
utrects adjacent te Bread street. The
,Ven Tagen plan, Mr. Hall complained,
would possibly cost as high as $150,
000.000, which Is tee much.
Mr. von Tagen said he was seeking
Information rather than endeavoring te
commit the city te any preposition at
present. He said he would Insist en
high-speed facilities for northern and
nerthwcPtern Philadelphia, and that
he would resist any attempt te chop off
the Bread street suhwav nt Eric ave
nue If- It were finally decided te con
struct the underground line.
The resolutions were then unani
meusly adopted by Council.
Director Twinlng's estimate of the
cost of the downtown line was predi
cated en he plan that the P. It. T.
would "operate tne extension running
from Delaware avenue nnd Seuth
street, where the elevated new termi
nates, te Meyamenslng avenue, thence
ever, Snyder avenue te Fifth, te .Tack
son and then te Thirteenth nnd Jack Jack
eon streets. Stations, he said, could
be located at half-mile Intervnls.
The Director's estimate of cost was
criticized by Mr. Hall, who said it was
evidently based en war prices, while
Councilman Pemmer said that If the
read cost one-half the cost of construct
ing the Frankford elevated line, it
would still be u geed thing, because it
would 'benelit a ast reservoir of pop
ulation. ) Steal 8centlsta In Convention

Mr. Aeqnlth made n great nlav with

The Prime Minister. Interrupting,

say. Anyway, what it does pet say is :
The beard has many American vessels
en Its hands and net many people who
want te sail in them. Somewhere east
of Sandy Heek a man docs raise a
thirst, a powerful thirst. On the dry
land an American is dry. On the wet
sea he Is wet. Yeu can't ignore this
psychological fact and de business

Careful of His System
Going abroad the American Is going

Involve a great shock te his system. Se,
crossing the Atlantic, he wishes te In
sure himself gradually te alcohol. If
he can't break the news gently te his
system that there still Is booze en an
American ship, he will sail by n foreign
ship. ,
Tile Dry Ship of State
He will take no chances en the con
sequences of n renewed acquaintance of
his stomach, heart and liver with
Johnny Walker. He won't de it, that
is nil. And if you are in the business
of transporting people across the ocean,
competing with foreign ship owners,
jeu hae te face the facts. It Is nil
very well for Senators who suit only en
that dry vessel, the Ship of State, te
believe that he will. They point with
pride te the fact that every state-room
is taken en their liner. Thev never net

Andrews plied his handkerchief te his

questions concerning payments te Rese

"What de you knew about the Fred

asked.
"Nothing; never heard of It."
"Step your feeling. Here it Is all

"you -can stand fifty pounds. It's the

and exhale tlirhuth the ears. '
"Sometimes taking a deep swallow

At first glance the Race street work

chaos of dirt, heat and neise: of Ud

men In soiled overalls hurrying up and

dispelled this idea. First of all, Tn the

long line of black, fiery-mouthed fur
naces; then another line of whirring,
oily machinery that forced tire air down
