FluckJ president of the Northwest Businesd Men's Association. "Senator Penrose." he stated "haf based his opposition to the Salus bill on the ground that thousands ot people! have purchased homes on the strengtn of the oririnnl transit plan. This reason Is "peculiar and falla cious," Mr. Fluck contends. He said the defeat nf the bill will greatly delay completion of the Frankford elevated! which wounl serve thousands ot tne character of people he refers to.' Ridiculous, He Says Mr. Fluck said the Senator's fear that the money might be used to pur chase existing lines is ridiculous "sincf a referendum of the people, under tne terms of the bill, is necessnry for tht ivnnifer nf the monev to any use what- Kriever." Mr. FlurkV statement in part foH lows t "The senator likewise claims thd original plan can be financed by reason of increase of property values in plain lnnrfiinrre this means 'increase In as- sesiment,' which it another method o: inerenKlnr? the taxation of real CBtate, already taxed to the limit in Philadcl; phin. lie admits it will cost uoudic, but says Philadelphia can pay it; set it can if its citizens wish to pay in creased taxes as suggested by Senatod Penrose and increased fare which he. has overlooked If a loan Is made asl suggested by the senator, it must bn nald b.v whom and how .' tiy mo citizens anil b.v increased taxation they must, nav nrincinnl nnd interest. He offers a novel method b.v which the bor rowing capacity of the city will be In creased, High Speed Line "By the exclusion of the amount expended for each high speed line as soon as it pays the interest on the amount expended for its construction and deducting this from original loan It must be completed first and then It muy pay Its own interest. How can yotu borrow money to complete n line bja increasing borrowing capacity by re-j suits after completion? You must build first where do you get the money? "The Twining plan proposed reaches me same results ami serves tne sumo localities by a slight change of routil and the substitution of elevated foil subways in certnin localities at a cosq of about one-half the original plan aui3 is almost coverable by the sum nov available for transit. The Snlua bill would have allowed the people by refer endum to pass on this plan and thi senator could have had the experts b' refers to in his answer show the peo ple where the substitute plan was de fective if it wns and if it waB nqtl the people would have had their rapid transit wants supplied several years be-1 fore the original plan can be carried outS under any condition.
