SAYS PHILADELPHIA
IS MAKING STRIDES
Detroit Visitor Tells of Civic
Reforms Under Reform
Mayor Blankenburg

Hollis Godfrey. chief of the bureau
OF gas In Philadelphia, called on
Mayor.elect Oscar b. Marx, Wednaf-
day afternoon, TO obtain Information
with reference to the public lighting
system here. Mr.. Godfrey Is an All
pointee OF Philadelphia's reform
mayor" Rudolph 'BlankenDurg, and
talked Interestingly OF what Philadel'
phia is accomplishing In the way OF
civic Improvement.
One OF the subjects OF timely III
terest TO Detroit on which Mr.. God
frey spoke is that pertaining TO Phil
adelphia's method OF planning a new
subway. He said that the city will
spend about 500, 900 in making a pre-
liminary investigation and preparing
plans for the subway. In Detroit only
$4,000 has been appropriated In
Philadelphia the mayor appointed a
subway commission consisting OF five
men, four OF whom are expert en-
gineers and the fifth a prominent law
yer, who. from patriotic motives,
donates his services when legal ques.
lions arise. The engineers are paid
for their services.
Philadelphia owns a gas plant but
leases IL TO a private corporation.
The big story of Philadelphia &c.
day Is not what the city is doing in
one particular line OF Improvement
said Mr.. Godfrey, who was formerly
a Boston newspaper man. 1T is how
all the departments OF Philadelphia
and how her citizens are working In
concord TO establish a greater city
This spirit OF enthusiasm and coop
GRAFTON permeates every city depart
ment."
What became OF some OF those
former politicians who were driven
out? Are they lighting Blankenburg
or have they gone to work." a re
porter asked Mr.. Godfrey.
Some OF them have been forced TO
20 TO work" replied Mr.. Godfrey, with
smile. meaning that some have
been sent to jail.
The visitor said that the mayor OF
Philadelphia has $4,000 annually
with which he may travel on city bust
ness. Money is appropriated for the
heads OF the various departments with
which they may travel.
Nothing Is said about Philadelphia
officials going from one city 10 an
other to get information OF benefit TO
the city" he said I'VE want 10 make
Philadelphia the best city in the coun-
try, and If any other city has good
idea we want TO incorporate 1t into
our own system. That Is the way a
private business is conducted and the
city government is nothing but big
business institution Why should IL
not be conducted like big business
corporation"
