NEW PHILA. TRACTION DEAL.
City Goes Into Partnership with the Rapid
Transit Corporation.

PHILADELPHIA, July l.-Philadelphia 20.
day, through its Mayor and Councils, entered
into partnership with the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company. Henceforth the
city will share the railway systems debts,
provide funds, remove il from danger of
competition and get in return half OF its net
profits after 9 per cent. has been paid.
The city's representatives on the board
of directors will be Clarence Wolf, banker
and broker, and W. H. Carpenter, a director
in the Union National Bank.
In a nutshell this is the situations: h
city gives up it's rights to a back the
sion Of the rapid transit company; gives
up it's rights to compel the company to
put it's wires under ground, confirms all
franchises ever given; gives up all license
fees and perQuisites from the traction
company and releases the traction COM
pany from Obligations to clean streets,
pave streets and repair them. and repeats
the ordinance Of 1857 which gave the city
the right to take over the franchises Of the
underlying companies by payment Of their
actual cost of construction.
In return for these concessions the city
gets n promise OF ore-half OF the net profits
after a dividend OF 0 per cent. 10 declared
and $500. 900 yearly. The company also
contributes certain amounts to a sinking
fund TO enable the city to acquire the fran
chise after fifty years. This franchise.
however. is only that of the rapid transit
and not those Of the underlying
companies.

through the grating to the sub-cellar.
There was no interruption OF the sorting
