''The navy yard routes via Twelfth
and Thirteenth streets nave recently
been shortened at the northern END ;
operate only to Cumberland street and
Somerset street in the place OF Erie
avenue, a mile or more further north.
Passengers desiring to go north OF Gum =,
berland and Somerset streets are opllged
to change into already overcrowded cars
over Wayne avenue.
Open Cars Menace Health
"Open and nonheated trailer cars at
this time of year impose severe hard -
ships upon navy yard patrons. Many
navy yard Workers are unable to travel
TO and from their homes for fiat five
cent fare and this extra three cents
should not be ignored by the company
as an element of extra compensation.
"The $42, 900 rental paid the govern
ment for money advanced for equipment
is evidently regarded by the company
as unjust cost.
I'm the Frankford II case, President
Mitten was asked why lie was not will
ing to treat the city with equal liberality
as the government. He was paying the
government per cent on 81 ZOO, 200
loaned for improved facilities, why was
he not willing to pay the city 5 per
cent on the S11 100000 cost of the
Frankford L extension of his system?
His answer was that the government
loan was used to extend the company s
system. while the city built the Frank
ford i as a competing line. The gov
ernment offered not only additional
money but additional traffic; the city
offered competing facilities with no
present additional traffic, Mr.. Mitten
said.
"In the case Of the navy yard exten-
sion, the government is supplying traffic
just as much as at Hog Island. and be-
sides is not asking the company to pay
for the additional track facilities.
II would advise that the navy yard
employees submit demand for reason
able service to the Public Service Com
mission.
''The full operating cost, excluding
taxes and interest charges, was last
year about twenty two cents per mile,
but inasmuch as the government owns
the navy yard line. the company's addi-
tional charge would be confined chiefly
to platform expense, power. main
tenance of rolling stock, or about fif-
teen and one half cents per car mile
1T will thus be seen that three addi-
tional passengers per trip would pay the
maximum additional expense which
could be claimed for operating that ad-
ditional mile over the loop within the
navy yard. The company would prob
ably claim that increasing the length
of the route by 6 per cent would add
cars to each route. If it took two ad-
ditional cars to each route and the gov
ernment furnished four cars, they would
represent $40 900 for the cars them
selves. r r. T. might insist on as
much more for power and appurte-
nances. Assuming an investment of
S75 900 in rolling stock, power and
appurtenances. the interest charges
would be $3.50 a day.
Assuming 125 trips per day are
made, this would amount to ten cents
per trip or two passengers per car"

COAL GAS Warming
ISSUED BY KRUSEN
Chronic Poisoning Possible as
Result of Defective Heating
and Lighting
GIVES VENTILATION ADVICE

Beware of coal gas. defective heating
and lighting pipes and fixtures. This
warning is given by Director KrlIsen,
of the Department of Health and Char
tiles, who issued statment pointing
out the dangers of these things. ~
"At this time of the year. when
stoves, furnaces and other heating de
vices are taxed to the limit, in order
to keep out the unwelcome chill and cold
from the home, office and workshop" "
says Director Krusen, I'VE are cNn-
fronted with the danger of vitiating the
atmosphere with unconsumed or incom'
pletely burned gases which may escape
from defective heating systenF.
Goal gas is the poison Which we
must guard against and which may ulti-
mately result in serious illness If con-
stantly inhaled. Fatalities are occa-
siOnally recorded from poisoning by this
gas, either accidentally from coal
ranges. from leaky gas pipes or By pre-,
meditated design. Cases are on record
in which tramps we're known to have
been killed by gas from large furnaces
os lime kilns to which they had been
attracted by their warmth, and where
they had fallen asleep.
Coal Gas Poisonous
when q mere trace of coal gas is
present in the air we breathe, the poi
sonous effects upon the body are, of
course, correspondingly mild, the de-
gree of severity depending upon the
degree of contamination of the air and
the length of time that gas poisoned
air is inhaled.
"Obscure mental disturbances and
even delirum may be the first prom
inent symptoms of poisoning. The usual
symptoms, however of chronic poison
ing from coal gas are headache, dizzi-
ness, sick stomach and even vomiting,
throbbing of the temples, ringing in the
ears, general lassitude and muscular
weakness. Neuralgia symptoms are
often manifest, while anemia or i'm
poverishment of the blood is usually a
resulting condition.
Gives Advice on Ventilation
"Chronic poisoning from coal gas may
occur in poorly ventilated living rooms,
offices or workshops where coal or gas
is used as fuel for heating purposes. 1t
is generally some defect in the heating
system which permits the escape of the
poisonous gas. Where coal stoves,
