L. F. Loree Sees Disaster
if Government Takes
Over Ownership.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 31.—L. F.
Loree. president of the Delaware Si
Hudson Railroad, pleaded last night
for the continuation of private own
ership of railroads and predicted great
forward strides In transportation in
the next 25 years.
Speaking before the Columbia Uni
versity Institute of Arts and Sci
ences, Loree said., "With accorded Jus
tice. the railroad industry can sur
vive in private ownership and render
adequate and increasing service.
"Without such justice, private own
ership cannot continue; private ini
tiative must fail: the railway indus
try must pass into Government own
ership and operation.
"It will then depend upon taxation
for its support, be a parasite upon all
prosperous industries, an impediment
to progress, and a peril to the political
independence of the people.”
Hits tiovernmrnt Ala.
Hr struck at Government aid to
other forms of transportation and
stated: "The Government money which
has been wastefully used in highway
and waterway construction to com
pete with private Investment in rail
way transportation is a veritable
mountain by comparison w ith that be
ing utilized in competition with pri
vate investment in the power business.
"The various modes of transporta
tion, whether it be by railroad, high
way, waterway or by airplane, should
bear their proper proportion of
costs. » • • if they cannot bear
such charges and continue in com
petition. they should be reorganized
or abandoned.
“The next quarter of a century will
see changes in the art and design
of transportation equal to or ex
ceeding that of the past 50 years, pro
viding the Inventive genius of man is
not completely stifled by the politi
cian.”
Against Consolidation.
Loree said he saw no advantage in
proposals for the consolidation of
railroads into a limited number of
systems, and he predicted:
“Before the close of the year, we
may see an increase in the mileage in
receivership.”
He pointed out that 27 per cent
of railroad mileage now operated is
in the hands of receivers or trustees
or in the process of reorganization.
As a means for permitting the roads
to meet changing conditions. Loree
recommended an adjustment of taxes
and wages, abandonment of unused or
obsolete service and facilities, and
the development of a high efficiency
in operation.

WAIVING OF ALLEY RULE
GRANTED IN AMENDMENT
Commissioners Can Decide No
Public Way Behind Lots Is
Necessary.
Regulations governing the subdi
viding of land for building lots have
been amended to give the commis
sioners authority to waive the re
quirement for public alleys in bark
of the lots, when the city heads And
3uch alleys unnecessary.
In submitting the amendment to
the Commissioners, Surveyor Dent
! pointed out the old regulation
was Intended to provide alley facili
ties for row-house development. In
restricted residential areas under the
zoning law, he explained, large lots
usually are provided, with a frontage
of 50 feet^or more, and with a trend
toward built-in garages and aide
! driveways from the street. In some
cases, where the topography is rough,
the opening of an alley calls for
unreasonable cuts and Alls, detri
mental to the square, it was explained.
‘ Although this office believes that
public alleys facilitate public collec
tions, such as trash, etc., I believe
that in some cases the Commissioners
should waive the ordinary require
ments of providing alleys," the sur
veyor recommended.

economical heat by using small sized hard coal
■ ij i
WrarTC!
TAUD
The largest users of hard coal buy more Famous
Reading Anthracite than any other brand. Many
use the smaller sizes. Their rigid tests prove
that this type of hard coal is very economical.
Even if your furnace is not designed to burn
small sized coal alone, you, too, can have better
heating at lower cost. Fire FTREWELL (pu
size) Famous Reading Anthracite alternately
with the larger sizes you usually use. Your fire
will burn longer, require less attention and cut
your fuel cost to the bone. Ask your nearest
Reading merchant about it. Our FTREWELL
(pea coal) is super-cleaned, packed with heat
like the larger sizes, but sells from $1.00 to $2.00
less per ton.
See the RED PAGE
To get super-cleaned FYREWF.LL (pea sice
coal)/ specify Famous Reading Anthracite. If
you don’t know a Reading coal merchant, see
the RED PAGE in your ’phone book. But do
it NOW. Fall days, when fires must be banked
much of the time, are great days for burning
FYREWELL hard coal.
