oicipalities tte bill already pessed
by the Senate becomes a law, according to tba Keystone Automobile, which has voiced vigorous
opposition to the measure, sponsored by Senator Kilts, ot Brie,
relieving atreet railway companies
ot paving obligations.
"This bill," said J. Maxwell
Smith, general manager ot the
club, "aims to pass along to thai
commonwealth and its sab-divia-
toos the cost of paving, repaving
and maintaining ear track sreas.
A similar bill wss killed st the
lost session of tbs legislatare. The
Kitts measures wipes out witb a
bold stroke paving and maintenance agreements entered into by
street railway companies with
municipalities ss a condition upon
wbiob franchises were granted. It
converts iuto mere 'scraps of paper'contractual obligstloos loag
held sacred.
"The excuse tor this measure is
contained in tbe presmble to tbe
bill, which recites thai 'changing
economic conditions, both sf»
travel oo and construction ot
various public thoroughtaresjhave
resulted in unexpected increased
costs snd unreasonable hardens
upon street railways, affecting
their service, rates sad facilities,
to tba detriment  of the  public
welfare.' '"jSgrnf ijee
