Ledger of October 24.)
The necessity for rapid transit becomes
moro and more apparent daily. The sur
face lines have reached the limit of their
capacity during the rush hours They are
handling the maximum traffic Of which
they are capable. Realizing this. the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company has
agreed TO a tentative program for the
operation of the new lines. This con-
templates the abolition of all exchange
tickets and the granting of universal
transfers. In the following statement the
exact status of the transit program is
authOritatively given 1t will be followed
by series of articles In the EVENING
LEDGER, published on alternate days.
which will take the city section by sec
tiun and visualize the benefits to be OBJ
tained by the building of the new system
Tie destiny of Philadelphia cannot be
realized until its transportation problem
is solved.
Philadelphians are mobiliznG in every
section Of the city to force the transit Is
sue to a successful conclusion.
Widespread public determination i'm this
respect becomes more emphatic every
day
Let us see just where the municipality
stands i'm this matter.
On the 9th of May, 1912, his Honor
Mayor Blankenburg appointed A. Merritt
Taylor rs Transit Commissioner to dag
nose the city's transit needs and to pre-
scribe the best methods of meeting them
His report was filed on the 24th of July.
1913
The report outlined in vast detail what
additional facilities are and will be
needed, where and how the same should
be constructed and what the cost will be-
The Transit Commissioner, backed by
the business men and newspapers, Sc
cured the enactment of the necessary
State legislation which clothed the city
with the legal authority, financial abil-
ity and executive machinery to carry his
recommendations into effect. The most
important of this legislation is embodied
In the following acts:

June II, 1918, authorizing the city to

elimination of exchange tickets, S91 900.

over 1900 900 hours per year, or at Is
cents per hour S270,000.
8. Increase in revenue to the city re-
sulting from increase in taxable values
in the northeast district.
1t is interesting to note what increase
in taxable values resulted in West Phila-
delphia when the Market Street Elevated
line was built
For the period from 1906 to 1912 the in
crease in taxable values in all of West
Philadelphia was s30.172, ,745. or 500 per
cent, while the increase OF taxable val
ues in other residential districts of the
city, including West Philadelphia, was
only 23.3 per cent.
In the 10th Ward, which adioIns Market
street on the south, extending from 45th
street to City Line, and which is directly
served by the Market street "L," the
valuation of unimproved real estate in
1900 was s675 600, although ii was only as
sessed at 50 per cent of that amount
In 1905 the assessed valuation of the
same property in that ward increased to
81 SS7 OOO Cbasis 100 per cent?.
In 1912 1t still further increased to A,-
26l 600. or a total increase in IL years of
500 per cent.
INTERESTS REALTY OWNERS
This is particularly interesting to the
holders of vast tracts of real estate tribu-
tary TO the Frankford elevated line,
which are undeveloped and which will
remain unbuiIt upon so long as they con-
tinue to be unavailable for residential
purposes by reason of the lack OF capa-
city of the existing car lines to carry any
more people to and from such districts.
West Philadelphia is profltlng largely
and disproport!onately TO other sections
Of the city from the advantages afforded
by rapid transit. II is becoming quite
a city in itself Great and prosperous
shopping centres have sprung up at SD
and Market streets and at Goth and
Market streets, with theatres, banks,
stores and other industries.
Residents OF FrankfoTd and the north
east section are aware Of the advantages
which they should share with their West
Philadelphia neighbors,
The people Of West Philadelphia and
real estate owners are travelling with
comfort convenience and saving in time,
all factors which contribute to comfort
and prosperity. The people Of Frankford
rightly demand that they be placed on a
oasis Of equality with their West Phila-
delphia neighbors.
The Frankford elevated line will save

this Is fact because the Supreme Court

Brown on May u, 1914. in the case Of
Mcguire VS.. the City of Philadelphia.
Director Taylor has recommended that
the following rapid transit lines be built

This is still further evidence that
Frankford's demand is just

dreds of working girls, and working men,
too, are Obliged to stand practically the
entire journey. Sometimes they are lucky
enough to get a strap which bangles

sengers support each other They are
wedged too tightly to fall. And so they
ride, posting, swinging and hanging by
their finger ends. from Frankford avenue
and Bridge street, the northern terminus,
all the way to Sixth and Market streets,
where most of the exhausted passengers
leave-to go to work, tired out before
they begin their days labor.
The car then proceeds to its southern
terminus, Sixth and Ritner streets. To
obtain accurate information about this
Frankford line, an EVENING LEDGER re-
porter took the interesting ride this morn
Ing from Bridge street, starting from
there at 1890 He was lucky enough
to obtain a seat by entering the
car before it started. For two whole
blocks there was plenty of room, but
when the car reached Margaret street
there was rush, and in less than two
minutes every seat was occupied.
WEARY GIRL STRAP-HANGERS.
At Orthodox street, fve minutes later,
there was similar rush-for straps. and
fully a dozen frail little girls, barely past
the official working age, reached for
straps to rest CD during the long ride
to Market street. which point was reached
at S:09 One girl, evidently accus-
toned to the ordeal, managed to
wedge little package OF lunch under her
right elbow and read a book. With the
disengaged left hand she practically
dangled from n strap.
And so she rode 20 Market street, a
trip of n minutes from where the
boarded the car. few OF the girls
lucky enough to get seats offered their
laps to some of the girl strap-hangers,
Although the car was uncomfortably
packed at Orthodox street, there were
at least two dozen workers taken on at
Allegheny avenue. There was no room,
but they got in by rushing, squeezing
and standing with feet close together.
The lurchng and sudden stopping of the
car fortunately did no harm, for there
was a solid mass of passengers from
end to end. Even those fortunate enough
to have seats didn't have room TO read
their newspapers Some, on alightng
at Market street. scanned their papers
as they walked to their places of em-
ployment.
The actual time made from Bridge
street, the beginning of the route to
Market street, was A minutes, and as
the car was packed at Orthodox street,
five minutes from the starting point
scores of little workers had TO stand
packed together like cattle for A min
utes before they went to the stores TO
stand for the remainder of the day.
Riders say the conditions are the same
every day.
There is nothing better to look for
ward to at night, for the Frankford
