"A visitor to the city was struck by
the beautiful sunset reflected on Lake
Michigan, and, as long as he bought
drinks, Carney listened to his rawlings
about the glories Of nature. The
stranger went on in words Of color
and elegant eloquence, but forgot to
buy another. 'Ah-you should have
seen that sunset he said, half clos
ing his eyes and incoming. Go on,

Frankford avenue and Unity street.
The briefs submitted to the Public Serv-
ice Commission by MIR. Vale and Mr..
Fluck both urge that the Certificate of

asks that the certificate be denied only
until assurance of universal free trans
fers and the complete abolition of the
Scent exchange tickets is given The
brief of Mr.. Vale, however. argues that
the whole program urged by Director
Taylor is an unnecessary extravaganza.
Mr.. Vale advances four propositions
which he contends should constrain the
commission to deny permission to build
the lines. These are:
WALES PETITION.
First. Public utilities are In the
nature of public monopolies, and since
competition between public utilities leads
to economic waste. the burden of show
ing affirmatively the necessity for pro-
posed competing utility rests upon the
applicant.
'Second. Inadequacy OF service rem
dered by an existing utility must be dem
onstrated by the petitioner as condi-
tion precedent TO the granting OF
certificate OF convenience to competing
utility, ana the record OF the instant dp-
plication Is barren OF facts or tending to
show compelling inadequacy Of present
rapid transit facilities in the city OF
Philadelphia.
''Thlrd. The instant application is de-
fective and inadequate in that (a) 1t is
duplicate. (b) contradictory and uneer-
tain, (c) fails to comply with the rules
of the Commission. and Id prays for the
construction OF portions only Of two sepa-
rate public utilities without regard to the
completion OF either utility or (e) the
equipment or the operation OF either
initial portion or the completed whole OF
either utility.
Fourth The proposed utilities are
neither necessary nor proper. and the
record atfirmatively shows their burden-
some extravaganza.
