Il is Of record that cry Of anguish was
xaised in Philadelphia in the late eighteenth
century, when a turnpike to Lancaster, the
Arst in the United States, was originally
sneeested. Montgomery and Bucks County

far. distant agriculturists.

TRANSIT DELAYS

DELAYS and confusion on the Frankford
- elevated and the Market street line were
inevitable as result of the linking up Of
two extensive systems and the effort to
establish schedules suitable to all the af-
fected parts Of the city. Operating officials
will have to learn by the experience of these
nrst days to make the two lines work
smoothly as one. But no efforts in the
direction Of new economies Of energy or
money should be permitted to interfere with
the elevated systems.
The Market street line is the chief de.
pendence of the people of West Philadel-
phia. 1t Is extremely efficient as a rule,
and 1t Is to be supposed that it will become
