In the course of the disagreeable rida
the reporter noticed that there was M
end of ground in Frankford going To
waste. Immense stretches of land hun.
dreds of feet in depth, border Frankford
avenue on both sides, Just on the edge
of the built-up section. There is room
here for hundreds of homes and amnle
opportunity for a few new streets.
1t was learned however, that no ons

will there be any additional streets be.
cause of the miserable car service.
But the length of the ride and the Iack
of fresh air is not all that the riders had
to contend with. On turning into Lehrh
avenue from F'rankford avenue thero
was more misery for the strap hangers
Beginning at this point, the car literally
hoped all the way to Sixth street Tba,o
was steady thump, thump, thump.
and the bumps reached their highest
pitch at American street, where the car
dragged over seemingly endless tracks OF

LITTL ETIME FOR RECREATION.
When at length the car turned into
Sixth street, the nerve acked passengers
breathed a sigh of relief and most of the
little shopgirls took a firmer hold on
the straps. 1t was learned incidentally
from their conversation that when thew
wanted to go to a theatre at night thew
went to work dressed up and got their
suppers down town. To ride home from
the store or the shop when the days
work was done Is out of the question.
If the remarks of two or three aged
passengers are indicative of the sentf.
ment in Frankford, then it is essential
that the elevated be started at the
earliest possible moment. These riders
said that they didn't propose to put up
with It,
Were tired OF all the talk about It."
said one man; "it seems that the plan
to have the road starts and stops, and
we often doubt that it's going to be built
at all. 1 am going to leave Frankford
although have lived there all my life
and I know a dozen other men who are
going to quit the place, too, with their
families"
The cars on number 4 line each seats
approximately So passengers. But at
least 40 more are packed in the aisle and
fellow riders are not responsible for con-
dtions, so they edge up" whenever the
request is made and do their best for the
one standing or sitting next. But their
patience is exhausted.
They have had to stand and support
each other In the cars.
Now they will support each other In
the fight for better conditions.
The next article, to be published Thurs.
day, will deal with transit conditions In

Between the hours of 6:45 and 7:i5 in
