P. R. T. SHORTCOMINGS
BEFORE COMMISSION
United Business Men Com
plain of Inadequate Service
and Other Faults

Inadequate service and number of
other shortcomings are named in a
complaint made against the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company today before
the Public Service Commission at Ihr-
risburg by the United Business Mems
Association Of philadelphia. Word OF
the action taken by the ol'Ean,zat ion
was received here this afternoon
The petition, which was presented be-
fore the commission by e. oscar
Beaslcy, counsel for the association, is
voluminous. Among other things It
charges that the company has fewer
cars In operation than some years ago,
that It refused to make needed improve
ments, despite the fact that It had
surplus of s2,500,0 900 set aside for re-
pairs and replacements. 1t also con-
tended that half-fllcd cars frequently
failed TO stop for passengers
The city of Coatesrile also asked for
physical valuation today Of the proper
ties of the West Chester Street Railways
Company on the ground that its increased
fare in Coatesville Is excessive. The
charge IL made also that the advance In
fare Is not in accord with the provisions
of the companys franchise ordinance.
1t is further charged that the increase
OF rates between West Chester and
Downingtown Is uncalled for, the COM
pany now having a surplus of more than
$4,000 in its treasury. The complaint
also asks that the commission compel IL
to recognize transfers from the Cones
toga Traction Company, the terminus Of
which adjoins the end of the West
Chester companys line.

Many Of the results advocated by Mr..

There can be no uniform educational
policy throughout the system until the

Mr. Wolf pointed out. A closed list,

the ideal system for thc elementary
