San Juan, March 18th 1919.
The Hon. Robt. H. Todd,
Mayor of San Juan,
San Juan, =. II.

san Juan, l.. IL.
Dear SIR
l wish to acknowledge the re
ccipt of your letter of yesterday
and thank you for it. In it yot
refer to a news article and al
advertisement which appeared ir
the Times Of Tuesdays, comment
ing OH your letter to the Muni
cipal Council regarding the dou
BILE tracking of the street cal
lines, which letter appeared in
El Tiempo, on March 26.
We are of one mind regarding
most of the fundamental pro
blems in the city's transportation
problem, and l welcome >this
opportunity to discuss the matter
with you.
In the first place, we both agree
that City needs a more rapid
transportation service, and we are
further agreed, apparently, that
this can be brought about only
by doble-tracking the street cal
system. So far as l can see the
only point in which there is any
/ difference Of opinion between us
is how this rapid transit service
may be obtained.
In your latter you state that
you do not believe there has beer
any change of public sentiment
in opposition to having the street
car trasking slightly above street
level, and you say that to the
best of your recollection the re-
preventative of this company was
the only person fayoring having
the tracks laid a few inches above
the level of the street when this
matter was under discussion il
1911.
In part of this / am inclined to
agree with you i'll so far as this
company's attitude regarding the
manner in which the rails should
be laid was without apparent
support eight years ago, but dc
believe that there will be a
further change when the public
fully understand and appreciate
the transportation difficulties
which the city faces.
What is most needed here, and
| believe we are all III agreement
on this point, is rapid transit
street car service. SO far as |
know, this rapid service can be OBJ.
tanned only in one of three ways
by eleveted railway, by subway, OF
by street cars operating over a
reserved or restricted right-of
way.
l believe that you will agree
with me that the street car sery-
ice would be slower rather than
fmore rapid if double trasks were
laid along the Carretera at the
level of the street with. no ply
El Imparcial. (San Juan, P.R.) 1918-197?, 1919-03-31

|
and pedestrians from encrOaching
on that right-of-way except at re-
gularly established crossings. We
have a fair example in San Juan
proper of what difficulties would
be encountered along the whole
length of the Carretera if our
tracks were at street level without
Hsome physical barrier to prevent
trespassing. To lay car tracks
at street level along any thorough
fare is the surest way to insure
slow service.
The only problem that we are
interested in is insuring a more
rapid street car service for San
Juan. The interest of the city
demands this and I can assure
you that we consider the public
benefits from such improvements
will be far greater than any which
this company would derive. This
problem can be worked out to
the thorough satisfaction of the
public and the company by COM
plete understanding of the pro-
blem and desire for proper CO.
operation.
This company has never asked
for or received any privilege of
property, for, which it did not
pay full and frequently excessive
value and when the time comes for
asking for a right-0f-way along
The Carretera for a double-track
which will permit rapid street
car service We do not expect to
,sk for anything which COM
raly trying to serve the public is
.lOt entitled to and for which ne
sill expect to pay full and ample
compensation. 1t is not a matter
,f Importance where along the
Iarretera this ght-of-yay is OBJ
tained, whether it is along tie
south side of the roadway, adj
joining our present tracks, or
whether the tracks are transferred
to the center of the carretera,
With a roadway along either side.
Nor are we interested particular.
" in having title to this right-of-
way so long as the right of way
IS for the exclusive use OF the
street cars during the life OF Olir
franchise SO that the rapid service
which the city needs may be
furnished.
But, of course, before we can
make any proposition for double
tracking our system, we must be
assured that all jitney competi
lion is eliminated, otherwise, if
we make further investment we
would be in the position o!.
throwing good money after. bad.
I believe it is only fair to say
hat street cars properly Operlt-
ri and under proper public con-
troll offer the best means of per
manent urban transportation so
El Imparcial. (San Juan, P.R.) 1918-197?, 1919-03-31
.hatthe Trolley Company says

far deviced any place in the
world and / see no reason why
San Juan can not have a street
car system which will render ade.
quate, efficient and rapid service
and compare favorably with the
best systems anywhere.
In the statement which I gave
to the newspapers on Thursday,
in which | reviewed the effort
made eight years ago to improve
the traffic conditions along the
Carretera, it was my desire to
bring out the following points -
1st.-That the city is now un-
dertaking to do in part
what the company fore
saw was a necessity eight
years ago.
2d.-That in December 1911
the company pointed out
to the authorities that
traffic condition should
be- done cheaper then,
than later on, and that the
longer it was deferred the
more it would cost.
Sd. That. report Of the invest
igating committee show
ed that the widening of
the carretera SO as to adj
nit laying of a double
track was a matter of
equal Importance to the
Insular Government, to
the Municipality and to
the Company.
4th.-That the project fell
through chiefly because
the authorities to impose
conditions on the cOmpa-
NY which would have
made rapid transit ser
vice impossible.
5th.--That the company has
always been willing, as it
is now, to help solve the
City's transportation pro-
blem.
AS we see it the whole trans
pOrtation problem here resolves
itself to simply this: The city is
sorely in need of better transpor-
tation. We believe that. our com,
pany is by no means to blame for
the present unsatisfactory trans
portation situation. We stand
ready today, as always, to double
track our lines whenever the way
is oponed for us to do so in a man
ner that will inspire rapid service
for the city, and proper protec-
ton to those investors who
would make this improvement
possible.
In view of your open statement
I am sending a copy of this letter
to the press with the request that
it be published.
Yours very truly,
