NESS ASSOCIATION. representing
of 200. A. NJ. Hewett,
president:
You can say for me and the as
sociation we are heart and soul with
Taylor fand his plan for
rapid transit. At the time Director
Taylor outlined his plan / agreed in
every particular. The association
realizes that II. is for the beneht of
the city OF Philadelphia to oppose
the Costello ordinance,
ayes Boyne, secretary;
The Costello ordinance is a butt
In" 1t was introduced for a per-
sonal political purpose. There is no
doubt that Mr. Costello has been op-
posing Director Taylor continually
and that the object of this ordinance
Is to break up the Taylor plan com
Dietely. Director Taylor has done
The best he could with the situation.
Our association will not hold a meet
nR until January, but l think that
Will be in time for us to take action
10 oppose the passage Of the Ordi-
nance.
