WHAT NIPPUR SAYS TO US

Most of the offcnses in this ancient

there is, after all, something elevating

REROUTING TALK

SUGGESTIONS for reroutlng the
~ trolley system in this city are the
oretically welcome. for the problem is
ancient, complicated and yexatious. A
I trial of some of the numerous proposals
J. would, however. be still more cheering.
Months ago discussion centered in the
ipian involving the relocating of the
tracks around the City Hall and the
diversion of some of the wcstbound
cars out Filbert instead of Market
street. Yesterday A. Howard Jones,
assistant engineer Of the Public Service
Commission, recommended to that
body the abolition of all eastbOund
trolley service on Arch street and a
new development of Race street for
eastbound cars. The use of Filbert
street for turning certain cars OF the
Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Tenth and Elev
enth street lines was also suggested.
Council has just passed an ordinance
authorizing the construction Of single
trolley track on SAMSON street between
Twentieth and Twenty second streets
to enable the transit company 10 relieve
congestion on Walnut street. Neither
talk nor new privileges alone will,
however. cope with a constantly deep
ening muddle unless accompanied by
action
Some of the plans advanced may prove
70 be impractical. Some may work
benefits. The public is not profoundly
interested in the academic aspects of
the question II overcrowding can be
relieved by rerouting comparatively
easy to accomplish, If the traffic block
sde on our narrow streets can be eased
by certain simple changes, trolley riders
will greet such reforms with satisfaction
and will quickly adjust their habits to
the new order. What is needed is some
evidence of performance.
