extent as to make similar transit extern
sions in other parts of the city promise a
further property rise, which in itself
would by very wide margin pay for the
construction Of the Taylor comprehensive
system In the years 10 come To this was
added the testimony of Select Councilman
Ulrich. of the 42d Ward, the Olney, Logan
and Oak Lane section, to the enormous
increase in taxable property In his ward
solely on prospects"
On Mr.. Ulrich's figures, applying them
TO the other sections of the city, a start
ling increase in the eity's income could
be estimated. He said that of the entire
increase in taxable property for 1915 of
$25, 100000, the AGA Ward returned
$4,000, 900. or one-hfth Of the entire
amount, solely on the prospects which
actually yield to the city S750,000 per
annum; and that at a conservative esti-
mate S10,000,000 more would be returned
in the next two years, making a total of
$4,000, 900, on which the returns to the
city would be equal to S2,250,000.
But the Taylor plan advocates, in work
ing up their arguments, led up to what
they considered their most crushing blow
by saying that II was not necessary to
count on the revenues to be expected in
directly from property Increment alone,
but that It was also possible to calculate
on actual additions which the city is
certain to find In it's income.
Had the Twining plan men, they asked
considered the additional revenue to be
gotten from gas receipts, beginning 81
months from now? That would be about
S50O, 600 a year. And hadn't they also
forgotten TO count on the 1 mill personal
property tax surrendered by the State In
aid of transit development, S2sO.000 per
year2
The United Gas improvement Company

OF so cents per 1000 cubic feet, or 90 cents
