More Action-Less Talk

Capt Blan local officer of the L. S. shipping board
Is right when he reference to the street stu
aton that there should be more action and less talk
III the shipping board officials will try to en-
force service which is the thing the public is interested
in and the thing which the government is interested in
THAT will be ACTION The shipping board has author
ity to order street operation in the shpyard district
to the extent of taking all the in the residence
district.
II has authority, however, to order the city council
to pass sixcent-fare ordinance II has authority
to do that than order the Traction Co. to lease its
lines to the city.
This traction mudde be cleared only with due
gard to public interests There must be service above all
things.
Uncle Sans work must not be interrupted by
lack of service. To enforce service is the immediate
problem.
The next is TO settle the difficulties between the city
md the traction company Whichever way this settlement
comes about, it will NOT be to the disadvantage of the
company. Should higher fare be established the
pany will be the gamer in that respect Should the city
take the companys property lease the company
will be the gamer by having its profits of the past several
years GUARANTEED.
Should the company continue a five-cent basis. it
will be the gamer by having the city give up its per
cent receipts by giving its right to pay
ent from the company OF share of the paving costs and
by giving up other franchise obligations.
Thus. it is plain thst companys interests well taken
care OF under of these propositions II is the city and
the publc-and the government who need protection.
