TROLLEYS MUST
NOT BE DELAYED
Public Service Commission
Orders Better Service
in Philadelphia

The Public Service Commission in
sustaining complaints made against
the service of the Philadelphia Rap
id Transit Company. by the city of
Philadelphia, and various business
mems associations, in a decision
written by Commissioner Ryan and
handed down last night, not only
orders construction of new lines and
new transfer arrangements in the
West Philadelphia district, but new
regulations for traffic. The commits
sion reviews the financial affairs of
the company and orders 10 new cars
to be bought by December 1. 1919,
in addition to 100 to be installed
this year for Hog Island traffic in
conjunction with the government.
The company is ordered to in
struct employees that they are not to
run by people on corners, unless cars
are crowded to capacity, that more
cars are to be placed on lines where
provision is now inadequate for
traffic offered, that cars in shops are
to be promptly rebuilt and that
tracks be reset. The mayor and city
of Philadelphia, are requested to en-
act ordinances to prevent blocking
of cars by vehicles IN loading be-
tween curb and track.
The decision OF the commission is
believed to foreshadow similar re-
Communications where trolley SER
vice is inadequate and where wagons
are permitted to delay traffic, such as
has occurred upon many occasions
on the streets of Harrisburg and
many other places. In Pittsburgh,
the commission is having the whole
transit problem studied by experts,
headed by f. Herbert Snow, and is
having investigations made in var
ious cities, quite independently OF
the complaints wherein increases of
fare are held to be unjustifiable by
conditions or against franchise ordi-
nance. This latter problem is now
being considered from the stand
point of jurisdiction of the commits
sion.

DRIVE FOR FARM

Ministers Will Aid School

Men and Boys

The members of the general COM
mittee of the Dauphin County Com

with the encouragement that the
citizens are giving in the present
drive for men to work on the farms
during the coming summer, and
there is every indication that this
community will again demonstrate
its patriotism. A thousand letters
have been sent out in Dauphin coun-
ty alone to the ministers, Sunday
school superintendents, public and
private school superintendents, and
patriotic and fraternal societies,
urging them to assist in this move
ment.
Some of the interesting data found
in these letters follow:
Early in the month of May young
men from the various high schools
of the state who are entering agri-
cultural service will be modified at
the Pennsylvania State College for a
period of two weeks of intensive
training in farm work. This farm
training camp will give the boys
