because of his announced programme
of connecting New York city and Phil

work of acquiring branch lines be-
tween the two cities, Mr.. johnson had
not been able to get the rapid transit
commission to change the route of the
proposed rapid transit tunnel in the
Brooklyn borough so as to allow for
the tunnel under the narrows-an es-
sential portion of the Johnson pro-
gramme for a quick outlet into New
Jersey and Pennsylvania. In Philadel-
phia, the street franchises recently is
sued. it is stated, interfered with many
of Mr.. Johnson's Philadelphia plans 1t

very active man, worried over the sit
uations existing in New York city ard
Philadelphia and even after his illness
kept planning active campaigns for
three cent fares which were to be in
augurated on the terminal lines in the
two cities.

There is talk that the movement is
