C|TY-RUN TRANSIT
OPPOSITION BEGUN
United Business Men Demand
Views of Candidates on Pro-
posed Amendment
FIvE-CENT. FARE IS HIT

The attitude of every candidate for
che House and Senate Of Pennsylvania
regarding an amendment passed by the
last Legislature, permitting the city to
enter the street railway business, is be-
ing sought by the United Business
Mems Association.
A letter to every legislative candi-
date asking his views on this amend
ment was sent out today by George j..
Campbell, secretary of the organization.
The amendment in question would per-
nit the city to acquire by contract or
condemnation any street railway fran
chise, and its concluding paragraph
makes 1t applicable only to Philadel-
phia.
The step to place every candidate on
record Is the result of action taken at
a meeting of the association last night
Several members representing organiza-
tions in all sections of the city pointed
out that this enabling amendment would
pave the way toward dragging the city
into the transit business and possibly
cause the city to inherit some of the
financial burdens. including underlying
rentals Of the Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit Co. ..
A resolution was adopted in which
the organization declared that it would
oppose the election of any legislative
candidate who favored this amendment
G. Oscar Beasley, counsel for the or
ganization, said today that similar
enabling amendment was passed by the
Legislature before the 1907 agreement
was enacted. He called attention to the
fact that this amendment had passed
one section of the Legislature and would
como I'm pQaiD for action af tho cntY,i n q
session in 1921.
Mr.. Beasley warned those present
that, should it be passed by the next
session, 1t could be voted on by the
people at the next November election.
Opposition to a straight FIVE cent fare
for the Rapid Transit company until
the question of rentals paid to underly
ing companies had been thoroughly con-
sidered was expressed at the meeting
last night.
The meeting appointed a committee
to call on Mayor Moore and recommend
the appointment of a valuation expert
to check up on the inventory made by
the company.
AS the city is already considering en- :
gagement of experts, II is doubtful II
the suggestion of the committee will be
acted upon.
E. Clinton Rhoads, a lawyer, who
was among those who addressed the
business men, pointed out that City
Solicitor Smyth was formerly legal rep
resentative Of the p. T.. It. He sug-
gested that Mr.. Smyth ask for outside
counsel in preparation of the case.
Mr.. Rhoads said among other things ::
THE question now before us Is
whether or not we should retain the

RENTAL DISPUTES
TO Be HEARD TODAY
Fifteen Cases Scheduled for
First Session Of Sheriff's
Adjustment Committee
MANY TENANTS COMPLAIN

Fifteen cases involving disputes be-
tween tenants and landlords will come
before the newly organized housing adj
justment committee at its initial meet
ing this afternoon in the sberiff's
office. Although the nature OF. the cases
has not been divulged In advance Of the
meeting, It is understood that In the
majority of them tenants are the com
plainants. ,'... '...-
The committee vii! hear whatever
testimony that Is presented in support
Of either side Of each case, and in each
will undertake to recommend an eqhi-
table settlement to the disputants.
Sheriff Lamberton has announced that
the meetings of the committee. for the
formation of which he is principally
responsible. will be entirely informal.
One OF the cases to be presented to
the housing adjustment committee will
be by the Bureau Of Legal Aid, ac-
cording to an announcement by Roman
c., Hassrick. acting chief of the bureau.
Thirty per cent of the business OF the
bureau at the present time consists of
landlord and tenant cases. In at least
seven out of ten Of the landlord and
tenant cases amicable adjustments are
being made through the bureau of legal
aid. As to the other cases, the bureau
proposes to place the facts before the
housing adjustment committee in an
effort to effect an adjustment. The
committee, therefore, will serve as a
sort Of court Of appeal for landlord
and tenant cases, in which all effortss
have failed to effect a settlement Of the
difficulties existing between the lessor
and lessee.
One of the,evils which has manifested
itself in the food Of landlord and ten
ant cases In the bureau OF legal aid
has been the tendency on the part of a
certain. class of property owners and
agents to enter into agreements OF sale,
and then fail to carry these agreements
into effect. Cases growing out Of that
kind of a transaction are reaching the
bureau of legal aid daily. The bureau
proposes to place the facts before the
housing adjustment committee, particu
larly where It appears that the agree
ment was not entered into In good faith
In the first instance, and there Is an ap-
parent effort to take unfair advantage
Of prospective purchasers.

Joseph f. Lewis, president Of the
Ciiveden Improvement Associations
called attention to the men who seo
being considered for the post Of valua
tion expert. He cited several Of the
men being considered and said they had
been employed in valuation or fare re-
views and In every case had fixed
figure much higher than that eventually
allowed by the governing public servico
commission. Following his speech, the
motion for the appointment Of the COM
mittee to urge the selection of an en-
gincer who would fully represent the
public was unanimously passed.
The straight FIVE cent fare was ap-
proved by the board Of directors Of the
Chamber Of Commerce at a special ses-
sion yesterday afternoon.
