NOT TO DELAY TRANSIT
PLANS, MAYOR SAYS

tives on P. r. T. Board Will
Discuss Contract Prob
lens on Monday
WILL PUSH WORK ON "L"

Mayor Smith today declared that no de-
lays to the comprehensive rapid transit
plans would be occasioned by questions re-
garding the leasing Of city-built lines to the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company and
that provisions OF the lease would be taken
UP at once SO that construction and leasing
problems could be worked on at the same
time
With a view TO obtaining the Ideas Of the
city representatives recently elected to serve
on the Board of Directors of the Transit
Company, the Mayor today arranged for a
conference to be held on Monday afternoon
following the regular monthly meeting of
the Directors OF the Rapid Transit Com
pany. This conference will be attended by
Sheldon Potter and William Hancock the
two men who. with the Mayor, will have
charge of the leasing arrangements.
When asked about progress along the line
of reaching some agreement upon which
lease of all lines could be agreed upon the
Mayor today said:
II have no disposition to keep any one In
the dark about the proposition, but as Mon
day will be the first board meeting attended
by Messrs. Potter and Hancock I feel that
1t Is too early to discuss any possible pro-
visions that may be insisted upon either by
the city or the Transit Company.
Following the meeting of the board,
have planned to confer with the city repre-
sentatives to obtain their views, not only
situation as we'll OF course, the question
of a lease will take time. but 1t will not
be allowed to Interfere with the progress
of the work on the lines.
Upon the result of a number of con-
ferences l have planned will depend
further action regarding a general lease
OF all the lines TO be constructed out of
loan moneys"
Mayor Smith has been in frequent con-
sultation with Director Twining. of the De-
partment of Transit and has discussed
with that official not only construction
plans, but questions regarding the lease.
Neither the Mayor nor the Director will,
at this time, say what conclusions, il any,
have been reached
The Mayor has declared that he believes
a lease should reach to the underlying
lines of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit,
but further than this nothing has been
made public. 1t is understood that the
question of a, lease will not be allowed to
interfere with the completion of the Frank
ford Elevated, and that some agreement
will be reached before that portion of the
line between Arch a Callowhill streets
