TWINING URGES BILL

Transit Director Wants SaIus
Measure Passed So Funds
Can Be Transferred

To obtain funds to complete the
Frankford elevated line Director Twin
ing, of the department of city transit,
urges passage of the Salus bill by the
Legislature. This measure would per-
NIT the transfer of funds which could
be used for completion of the Frank
ford line.
Director Twining said the bill was
in the hands of a subcommittee of the
House, consisting of Representatives
Campbell, of Philadelphia; Flynn, of
Elk county, and Ramsey. Of Delaware
county, and unless the measure should
be reported. Immediately with a ia =
vorable recommendation, it would not
be possible to pass it. In discussing the
measure the director said:
"A false report has been circulated
by those opposed to the bill that the
passage of this bill would endanger the
city's high speed transit plans; as a
matter Of fact, the truth is just the re
verse. In this bill as it has been amend
ed money now appropriated for transit
is protected but the routings, locations
and types of construction may b.
changed as found necessary"
