Following is an abstract: We have In mind the case of a man who was wrought up because he wanted to' take a Tenth street car at Sixth and Penn streets and proceed, on a transfer, out Perkio men avenue. He wants to know why he was refused. One reason was that his proper Perkiomen avenue car was but a few minutes behind the Tenth street car he wanted to take. Another reason is that we have had patrons board a Tenth street car for out the avenue, get a transfer and, after they had transacted some business In the vicinity of Tenth and Penn streets, continue on their way, even though the period for which the transfer wa good had long expired. A transfer is not a stop orer privilege.

We might mention other abuses, such as people coming into town on a Schuylkill avenue doing their shopping or marketing, and going home on a Fourth street loop car on a transfer. Or, people returning to Penn street on a. Tenth street car, from lunch, and giving their transfer for Out Fourth" to somebody living in that locality, taking turns in paying the nickel fare. Misuse of street car transfers is a misdemeanor under the law, pun ishable, by fine or imprisonment. An act of Assembly approved June 13, 1911, prescribes a fine of $5 or Imprisonment not exceeding ten days for each offense.

New "Car Stop" Signs Along Sub urban Lines We are about erecting new signs t0 designate the stopping places of cars along suburban lines. These signs consist of the words Car Stop," painted in bold, black letters, upon a band of white, on trolley poles handy to the various stopping places. Experience has proved this to be the. best type of sign to use. Keeping Cars Running in Stormy Weather Our snow fighting equipment arid the men in charge of it recently had a taste of one of those storms "that are the bugaboo of those responsible for the operation of street cars.

Men and machinery behaved very handsomely and. as a result very little inconvenience was suffered in the city. On the Mohnton division, where the snow at many points took on the aspect of a blizzard, blocking the track with deep drifts almost as rapidly as they were removed, ice coated trolley wires added to. the seriousness of the predicament During the memorable rain and lightning storm1 one evening last summer, for instance, forty three of our cars were put out of commission, and all were repaired and ready for service when regular schedules were resumed next morning.

That is the question giving the officials concern and with a long while to wait before the first taxes are paid, prob ably the latter part of May, notice to "go slow" is being heard on all sUTbs. City Controller Dorward said on Friday morning that he coud pay only the November bills. There is now only about in the treasury and with the pay. rolls amounting to about $25,000 a month there will have to be some close shaving somewhere.

Salaries must be paid before other bills and under the increases effective the first of the year, there will be considerable more each two weeks. Controller Dorward says that he has called Council's attention to the financial condition and it is expected that the "pinch" will be felt more this year than ever before. Last year Council was hard pressed for money during the first four months, and the county had to be called upon to make early payment of the liquor license money to help out. The city officials are anxious to see a bill passed by the legislative bodies now in session to make the payment of city taxes at a date much earlier than June, so that there will be money available early in the It 'is claimed that the payment of city taxes in June makes late the letting of paving and other contracts.
