DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Electric Railway Journal, Vol. 75: May September, 1931 The present debacle is a far cry from 1910 when Mr. Mitten took over the management of the broken - down street railway system in Philadelphia. No one can deny that in the interim Mitten Management has raised the quality of transportation service to a high level. For its work in building up the property physically, for its accomplishment in maintaining satisfactory relations at all times with its men, for its many campaigns in the interest of safety and for the heed it has given to progressive ideas for service improvement, the manage ment deserves the greatest credit. Its endeavors to promote ere - ordination of facilities have been in line with the most modern thinking. Entry into the field of taxicab operation was a step in this direction. In so far as the law may have blocked the efforts of the company to bring about effective co-ordina tion, the fault lies with the state. In so far as that end may have been sought by devious devices, however, the fault lies with the management.
