PASSYUNlK AVENUE
PROTESTS AGAINST
LOSING ITS CAR LINE
Merchants Say They'll Give the
Transit Company "The Big
gest Fight of It's
History"
WOULD RUIN BUSINESS"

The proposed plan of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company to withdraw all
street cars from Passyunk avenue after
September has set South Philadelphia
up in arms. The company intends to
change Route 81 so that the cars will
run down Snyder avenue TO the river
front instead of down Passyunk avenue.
The new route will leave the u good
business blocks on Passyunk avenue he
tween 5th and 18th streets and between
South street and Snyder avenue. isolated.
The change will affect more than $4,000
persons and 1900 merchants along Pass
yunk avenue.
Members of the Passyunk Avenue Busi-
ness Mems Association, backed up by the
United Business Mems Association, de-
clared today that the company would
never do II without the biggest fight of
its history" The Passyunk avenue line
is one of the oldest in Philadelphia,
their places of business have virtually
been founded on 1t, they said, and to 10
away with 1t would be a great loss of
money to them.
The company says II Is for the improve
ment of Passyunk avenue that they are
making the change. The tracks are to be
removed from the street and replaced by
wood blocks, thus making a good thor
oughfare. Business will not suffer at all.
according to the company. as the new
route will still communicate with Pass
yunk avenue, although indirectly.
The terminal of the present route is 32d
street and Passyunk avenue, or Point
Breeze. The ther end OF the line is 80
and Dock streets. The terminal of the
new line will be Point Breeze, but the
other end of the line will be Snyder ave-
nue. and Swanson streets The present
route is as follows:
Northbound-From 32d street and
Passyunk avenue, on Passyunk ave-
nue., Snyder avenue, 18th street, Pas
syunk avenue, Dickinson street, 5th
street, Lombard street, Sd street to
Sd and Dock streets.
Southbound-FTom Sd and Dock
streets, on Dock street, I'd street,
South street, Passyunk avenue, 10th
street, Tasker street, Passyunk ave-
nue., to 32d and Passyunk avenue.
The cars running on the new route will
run down Passyunk avenue from 32d to
Snyder. which cuts in at 18th street. They
will leave Passyunk avenue and run down
Snyder avenue to Swanson street. That
