ARCHITECT OF
UNBIASED IDEAS
TODRAW PLANS
Comfort Station Specifications
Will Be Made by Man With
out Fixed Opinion
COUNCIL TO RATIFY
First Will Study Conditions,
Then if Plans Are Unsatis-
factory, Out They Go

That the architect who is selected
to draw plans for the footwalk in
Market Square and public comfort
station, will be one who has not
formed an opinion as to Just how
these improvements shall be made,
was the statement made by City Com
missioner William II. Lynch, who has
been authority by council to carry out
preliminary plans for the work.
When the plans are completed
they will be submitted to council and
the City Planning Commission for re-
lection or acceptance" Commissioner
Lynch continued. VI intend to have
council approve my selection of an
architect, also. 1t is my intention to
pick man wko hasn't a set idea
about these improvements. What we
want is an architect who will study
trafhc conditions and the needs of the
city before making any suggestions.
Then, if the plans he decides upon
are not satisfactory council and the
Planning Commission will be the ones
to reject them. So far nothing de-
finite had been done about this i'm
provement and my only reason for
submitting an ordinance authorizing
tie employment of an architect was
to get definite plans drawn and pre-
sented so that action can be taken"
In speaking of traffic conditions in
Market Square, Commissioner Lynch
declared that should the Valley Rail-
ways Company build a terminal in
Walnut street, much of the congestion
in the Square, and at Second and Wal
nut streets, will be overcome, leaving
more room for automobiles.
81 have heard that the Valley Rail-
ways Company NAV erect n terminal
in Walnut street, but know nothing
officially about it. If the company
should make this Improvement 1t will
be a big help and will aid in reliev-
ing traffic congestion in the Square,"
Commissioner Lynch said.

day postponed until Monday by the
State Senate, which will adjourn for

Philadelphia Newspapers
Forced to Raise Price

Philadelphia, Jan. 30.-The Phila-
delphia newspapers have increased
their price to cents, owing to the
increased cost of paper and the limi-
tations placed on the supply of news
print paper by the manufacturers.
Last week the city had four 2-cent
morning papers and three -cent even
ing papers. To-day every paper in
the city sells for cents
In announcing the change in price
the newspapers explain the enormous
increase in the cost of paper, which
for a single newspaper, for example,
means an added expenditure of
S250,O0O year, and for eight papers
in Philadelphia would mean, provided
they use the same quality of paper as
last year, an Increased expenditure of
upward of $2,00q,O0O, while the cost
OF many other materials needed for
publishing a newspaper have advanced
from 20 to 400 per cent,
