If it is offensive to the public eye
to have trees and poles in the parks
disfgured by political placards, it is
no less offensive in other places.
There is a growing sentiment against
poles themselves as public eyesore

HIGH SPEED LINES
WOULD INCREASE
BUSINESS AT NIGHT
Modem Transit Facilities
Will Eliminate Long
Waits for Residents of
Many Sections.

Business Of the city at night is seriously
affected by the lack of hIgh-speed lines
to outlying sections Managers Of the-
atres declare many remain away from
the best attractions because there is no
certainty as to the time patrons Will reach
home after the performance.
Proprietors Of restaurants and cafes
also contend that improved transportation
facilities would help their business. There
is a general exodus from the central part
| of the city, they assert, before II o'clock.
They claim that those who remain after
| this hour may be divided into three class
es-those who have automobiles, those
| who live in the central part OF the city
and those who live in West Philadelphia.
Those living in the sections reached only
by surface lines rush from the theatres
TO the street. and crowd on corners and
finally into tho cars, which seem to be-
come scarce for some unknown reason,
about II o'clock.
ESCAPE LONG WATTS.
Few living in the surface car section
care to take chances on getting homo
after a supper in the theatre district.
They know 1t means very long waits
on corners and a ride from the end of
strap perhaps when the car arrives.
While IL Is diflcult to please nearly
100000 people and all sections at one
time, nevertheless the residents OF the
northeast, northwest and southern parts
of the city feel they have been dis,
crlmlnated against This IS especially
so in regard to Frankford and Kensins-
ton.
According to the present schedule, cars
for Frankford should leave Third and
Chestnut streets after midnight every 26
minutes, and Frankford cars on 18th
street are scheduled to run on the same
time. This running time is adhered to
as nearly as can be expected. Very often,
however, the cars are a half hour apart.
If the Union Traction on-Councilmanic-po-
litical red tape could be unwound there
would be an early start on the proposed
high-speed lines TO Rensington and
F>rankford. AS this system would relieve
the uncertainty. about reaching home at
definite time, more people would visitlf
the central section of the city and enjoy u
here.
SUBWAY SERVICE GOOD.
The West Philadelphia suway-elevated
line runs every 10 minutes after mid
night. While waiting for these cars
the people are protected from wind and
storm and are assured Of a speedy trip
home after they start.

Transit Director Taylor
to Speak TO Public

Public mass-meetlngs are being
called by the leading business ana
civic organizations in the various Sec
tlons Of Philadelphia.
Such meetings will be held in every
section Of Philadelphia for the purpose
OF famillarizing the residents Of every
district with the advantages which
the recommended rapid transit sys-
tenn will bring to them, as well as to
| the city as n whole.
It is my purpose to attend all of
these meetings and to fully inform the
people of Philadelphia personally with
relation to the plans Of the Depart
ment Of City Transit which will bring
to Philadelphia the best local transpor-
tatlon system in existence.
hope and confidently expect that
the people of Philadelphia will for
themselves take up the transit plan,
which has been devised for their bene-
1T, get behind IL as unit, and put 1t
through without delay.
I shall lay before the people the va
rious steps necessary to accomplish
this result and clearly demonstrate
that the way is entirely clear for the
municipality to proceed forthwith.
At these meetings the people will be
given an opportunity to show their
final determination with relation to
the transit development, and after the
meetings have been held, believe
there will be no room for doubt in the
mind OF any one as to the overwhelm-
ing and practically unanimous public
sentiment in Philadelphia which will
impel the prompt construction of tho
recommended lines regardless of any
obstacles.
The people are taking the transit
matter In hand for themselves with
splendid enthusiasm. They have the
courage, the power and the ability to
force the development through. In my
opinion, the people are going to display
their courage and exercise their power
and ability in this matter.
The people must and will have the

Adjoining this property is Benham's 3

has been completed, s25, 900 has been

The same firm bought 9 South SD street
in 1909 for $4,000. 1t was sold shortly
after the elevated line started for $1,000,

brought $1,000, at which figure It was
bought by James +. Murray. Real estate

Thus the advantages of rapid transit
will be extended as equally as prac-

Passengers will be enabled to travel
in forward direction between every
important section of the city and
every other important section of the
city quickly, conveniently and com
fortably by way of the combined sur
face and high-speed lines, regardless
of the number of transfers required
in SO doing, for one j-cent fare.
