GENERAL SENTIMENT
GROWS IN FAVOR OF
RAIL FREIGHT RISE
Commerce Commission Be-
ing Urged by Various In
terests to Permit Five Per
Cent. Advance in East.

General agitation is being kept UP in
favor of granting higher freight rates to
the railroads. The Interstate Commerce
Commission Is receiving presentation OF
views from investment interests which
are vitality concerned in restoring PROS
perity to transportation lines.
1t Is interesting to note that one of tho
members of tho commission which the
Investment Bankers Association of
America is to send to washin ION to
plead for the roads at 'he rehearinr on
october 10 is Frederick Strauss. who was
member of the Federal Commission
which President Taft appointed in 1911 TO
consider the advlsability of national su-
pervislon of railroad securities. That
commission, In Its report, pointed out the
need OF larger income to enable the roads
TO sustain their credit and raise the i'm.
mense capital sums required to maintain
ana enlarge transportation facilities.
Every argument in that report, say
railroad interests, applies with increased
force to the railroad position that today
demands consideration from the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
The Railroad Securities Commission
was composed, besides Mr.. Strauss, of
such men Of prominence as Prof. Arthur
T. Hadley of Yale University; Frederick
j. Judson, Walter L. Fisher, Balthasar II.
Meyer and William f. s. Griswold. It is
considered of good omen that Mr. Meyer,
who was a college professor of high
economic standing, is now a member of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
POLITICAL sentiment Is today more in
favor of the railroads than ever before,
and shat, 1t la figured, ought to help the
case of the common carriers The rail-
road situation, even under existing handi-
caps begins to show some Improvement
Returns from 100 leading roads in the
country to the Washington board give
gross earnings in August at only S9,7O0,OOO
under the same month last year, while
reduction Of operating expenses permitted
a gain in net of more than $1,000 900.

Better Returns Shown by

The taking UP OF properties In the
smaller streets close to the larger and
more expensive ones on prominent thor
oughfares in the central section has ex-
tended very much Of late; Rittenhouse
street, lying a short distance north of
Spruce street, was taken in hand some
years ago after it became almost Inn
possible to obtain anything in Little
De Lancey place" or Brides Row, lying
between 21st street and 22d street.
Rittenhouse street, from 18th street to
18th street, or the eastern boundary Of
Rittenhouse Square, presented great adj
vantages, and small dwellings were al
tered and modernlzed. giving a most
pleasing effect. Today prices are ex-
tremely high for a small street
Among sales the following are found:
Nos. 17l3-15, sold April T. 1909, lot 15.6x66,
for $500 each; Nos. 171o-21, sold F'ebru-
ary 20. 1066, lot 15.6x66, for s2O65O No. t717,

17O9-11, sold August 13, 1913, each 16x66,
for $4,000. and on May 6, 1914, No I'LL
was resold for $3.50.
About three years ago, Rittenhouse
street, between 22d and ed streets, came
into consideration. No. 22l1 was altered
into n neat colonial dwellng No 2222 has
also been greatly improved on Decem-
ber l, 1909, 22l7 was purchased for $5O0O
1t had a lot l6X62, was torn down and n
fine colonial dwelling of four stories was
built upon the site. In this street, as late
as July 16. 1906, No. 2214, lot 16x62. sold
for S34O0. In this block 1t is now very
hard to buy an unimproved dwelling at
double the figure they commanded five
years ago.
SAMSON street, between 2tst and 22d
streets, on the north side. has for a good
many years contained n row of we'll
built modern small dwellings, which have
been in good demand since the Belgian
blocks were replaced by asphalt. Lately,
the demand has extended to the same
street between 2Oth and 2lst streets,
where No. 2O2O has been improved by
red-and-b black brick front and modern i'm
provements were made i'm the dwelling.
No. 20iS has the wide, single window
effect and is attractive, and No zoos has
been improved Sales in this block are
not numerous. No. 20i2 sold December 1S,
1905. lot 15X50 for $1,000 Nos. 2O0O-2OO2 San
som street were sold September ., 1910,

One thing that will have to be over
come is the presence in the smaller streets
of stables, which were used when 1t
was a great advantage to dwellers on
Walnut and Spruce streets to have them
near at hand, and before telephones were
in general use.
These have now been altered into
garages, however, and with the present
facilities to move quickly 1t is not at ell
important to have the garage SO near.
Doubtless, with this view In mind, the
streets mentioned could be used entirely
for dwellings. Another consideration, ana
an important one, Is that there would
be less fire risk and better insurance
rates obtainab1e if the garages were re-
moved entirely.
A good many thousands Of dollars have
been spent in bringing up TO date and
enabling owners to get more rental out
of such small dwellings on the lesser
lanes Of the large city.
NOTES OF THE STREET.
Plans are under consideration for al
tering the dwelling of the late stephen
y. Fotterall, northwest corner Of 10th

of time when the work going on at 23d
