WEST END BueINEss MEMS Asso
CATION, Philip Conway. president:
You can say I attn emphatloaliy for
the Taylor plans for hlsh-speed transit
and against Costeiio's scheme to dis
rupt the transit situation.
oLNEv IMPROVEMENT AssocIA.
TfoN. J. Fred Burkart, president.
Our association is, and always has
been, for Director Taylor's plan FOR
logical rapid transit and may safely
say we are one and all against any-
thing that BENEFITS one section only
ana hinders, the development OF the
transit to every section OF the city, az
the ordinance introduced BY Council
man Costello certainly does.
The only thing that can and ought to
be done IN the construction OF lines to
all parts or the city practically stimuli.
taneoualy, as provided for in the plan
OF Director Taylor Costeilo's plan
would neglect, our section, and ! feel
sure that Counolmsn from this dis
triot WIN not support such a measure

ship Of ESQ., Thomas NJ. Scott, secretary
OF course, we are all Interested in
any Improvement Of our city. l think
also that no doubt many men feel that
II man OF Director Taylor's calibre
is hack Of a movement there must be
something In Il.
BELMONT IMPROVEMENT AssoCIA-
r1oN, representing a membership of
1OO T. II. MoCaffrey, president.
A comprehensive plan that would
provide rapid transit for the entire
city, and not one section, should be
carried out The Belmont Improve
ment Association favors Director Tay-
lor's plan, because It provides for free
transfers.
NORTH STH AND gTH STREETS BUsI-
NESS MEMS sAssoCIATIoN, represent
ing membership of 120. Morris Finer
president.
I and the members OF our associa-
ton are in favor OF Director Taylors
plan for high-speed transit, which will
give us high-speed transit right away
Instead OF the Costello plan purposing
TO give the service which we need so
badly not until the Rapid Transit Com
pany gets ready Everybody should
favor the Taylor plan.
Our organization will not stand for
any substitute for this plan. We shall
held a meeting next week for the pur-
pose of having our Counclmen de-
clare themselves for the Taylor plan.
GEORGES HILL IMPROVEMENT AS
ISOLATION, representing membership
OF 10, Charlton V. Howe. president
am In favor OF the Taylor plan for
high-speed transit because under this
plan the city is to build the lines. 1t
does not seem fair to me that the
people in one section OF, the city
should have the advantages OF rapid
transit while the other sections con-
tinue to bear the inadeduaeies of
the present system. After comparing
the Taylor plan with that offered by
Mr.. Costello ] do not favor the Cos
tello plan We should certainly ac-
cept no plan that will not be as bene-
ficlal to the city as the plan that Mr..
Taylor has proposed.
HE LOGAN IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE.
representing membership OF more than
900. Edwin J. Lafferty, president:
am opposed to any plan which in
terferes with the general transit de-
velopment of the city as advocated by
Director Taylor. The Logan Improve
ment League is not in favor of the
Frankfort elevated proposed by Mr..
Costello. l have not had enough in
formation on the subject to venture
