TRANSIT LEASE NOT HIT
BY BAN ON CITY WORK
Government Order Makes Pact
All the More Important,
Says DR.. Lewis
HEARING TOM OR r OW
Public Service Commission Will Sit
in City Hall to Listen
to Arguments

Dr. William Draper Lewis. speaking
for the city administration, today stated
that tho Governments notice TO stop
work on unnecessary contracts should
not affect IN the least the affirming of
the lease between the city of Philadol-
phia and the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company.
The lease, which was passed by Coun-
ellis in the closing days Of 1917 and
moro recently was approved by the
stockholders of tho Philadelphia Rapid
Transit. comes before the Public, Service
Commission tomorrow for approval \
hearing will be held In the Finance COM
mittee room. No. 400. City Hall.
Discussion has arisen as TO the need
OF lease now that all work on the
hlgh-speed lines has been stopped to
make way for Government work. Doctor
Lewis was in Transit Director Twin
ings office when the latter was called
upon for statement in regard to the
case. Doctor Lewis dictated u state
ment which he said would serve as the
official opinion of the Department OF
Transit.
Lease Not Affected
II is as follows:
This order should have no effect on
the transit lease. Delays in the city's
construction program for the high speed
lines make II all the more important that
the lease go into effect at the earliest
possible moment in order that the pro-
visions of tile contract insurng good
service cn and extensions of the COM
pany's surface lines may become opera
tive"
II was then called 10 Doctor Lewis
attention that one OF the important fea-
lures of the lease Is that the cight-cent
exchange ticket in the delivery loopy
district is not to be done away with
until the first unit of the Frankford u
Is nut into operation. Director Twining
said during the lease controversies In
Councils that il would take eighteen
months to complete the Frankford line.
This now means eighteen months from
the end of the war, since the Govern
mcnt's order virtually precludes any re-
sumption of work on the line until the
end of the war.
"That is not the most important
feature of the lease by any means" said
Doctor Lewis. "All OF the exchange
tickets outside of the delivery loop are
abolished with the lease becoming ef-
fective. These form 100000 out OF
the COmpany's annual income of $1,000
900 from exchange tickets.
THE great advantage will come with
the extension of the surface lines where
It is badly needed now."

Lucky PHOTOGRAPHER.

It is not always that things turn out
so happily for the rash person who
ventures to take snapshots on the east
coast of England, as they did in the
case of young lady In the following
story: She was seen photographing
on q POINT of the coast, and was
promptly approached by a special,
who Informed her of the enor-
nifty of her offense. took her name
and address, and removed her camera.
She heard nothing more of the matter
for some time, but one morning she
was amazed at receiving a check run
ming into three figures, and letter
from headquarters informing her that
her photographs were not only very
good, but resulted in the capture of
an enemy submarine.
