TAYLOR TO GUARD PLANS

with plans completed for the construction
of the Thirty-ffth Ward high-speed line,
which viii be operated as spur OF the
Frankford elevated, Transit Director Twin
ing has made formal application TO the
Public Service Commission for certificate
Of public convenience TO build the line.
This line will give the citizens in the north
ern part OF the Thrty-ffth Ward their first
trolley service, and will mean the rapid de-
velopment Of this section OF the city.
The line, which will connect with the
Frankford Il" at Frankford and oxford
avenues, ls to cost about 81 100000 II will
be double-track throughout it's entire length.
Considerable grading must be done before
actual consnnctioh work can be begun.
Another application for a certificate Of
public convenience was made yesterday by
Director Twining for the establishment OF
station on the Frankford a." at Hunt
ingdon street and Kenslngton avenue. This
station has been much sought by business
mems associations and manufacturing In
terests, because II will tap one of the busiest
sections OF the Kensington Industrial dis
trict.
Between the Dauphin and York streets
station, as heretofore planned, and the
Somerset street station. there was dis
tance OF about three-quarters Of mile for
which no station had been provided The
additional station will not only break up
| the long stretch. but will afford workmen
| from many sections an opportunity of
| reaching easily some OF the biggest plants
| of Kensington.
Interest among transit followers today

| that the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com.
| pPny is ready to enter into a lease with

| system upon the terms set forth i'm the or.

The stand taken by Mayor Smith that he

He added that virtually al OF Iue H''''lo"
dollars collected through the coal tax de-
clared unconstitutional later, had been re-
turned. The company billed tho extra two
and half per cent as a separate item on
their bills, making returns comparatively
easy. When questioned as to why the price
of coal was advanced ten cents when the
tax was removed, Mr.. RicharU said that
the price boost was due only TO the IN

through the provisions of the workmen's
