$4,500,000 FROM STATE
Governor Favors Philadelphia
Approaches From Frout
and Market Streets
Philadelphia vrlll share In the many
million!! of dollars (o be appropriated
for public highways during- Qovernor
Sprout's administration In the use of
bout$4,S0M00 to aid In the construc
tion of a memorial bridge over the De!
aware'niver between this city and Cam
den, N. J.
The Governor believes the bridge
should be regarded as an extension of
the State highways system.
Governor Bproul declared, In discuss
lnr a program for constructive work
during his term as chief executive of
the State, that he was not In favor of
tho proposed plan to begin thePhlladet
phla end of the brldgo with approaches
on Seventh street, but thought the en
trance In this city should be from the
foot of Market street.
In this connection he said:
"There Is a. big dip there, which will
nroVlde an excellent start for the rise
over the river. There could be. to ray
vay of thinking, some kind of a circular
Incline at Market street, which could be
used by pedestrians and trucks, but
hYmost important matter that would
have to bo worked out would be as to
how .the trolley cars would get on the
bridge.
"It Is now estimated that the big
bridge would cost between J13.000.000
nd $14,000,000. but I think the cost
' .nS "'. . n..r.r. o between J16.000.000
.nrtJ18.000.000. It will take about
three years to build It. and each State
"iZ'-.u .. nno.hnlf tho expenditures.
. The money to. be contributed by this
side of the river should be divided be
tween the ciiy oi nuw,wi-" -State
of Pennsylvania, Each should
contribute Sl.600,000 year for three
years.
'New Jersey liberal"
"Vew Jorsey has shown ft great deat
of liberality in the bridge project and
they regard It there as an extension of
the public highways of the State. Re
cently there was a bill Introduced, In
our Legislature! providing for revenues
with which to carry on road Improve
ments in the suburban section of Phila-...1-1.1.
Tnntead of following the Dunn
bill however, I am In favor of making
the' State's contribution to the war mo
rnorlal bridge over the Delaware n vcr
Phlladelpnias snan u " " ......
.wn.nrtltures.
I don't believe the plan to run the
hrtdeo UP 10 oevemn v ... una-5!5-E?.
i. . feasible one. If this should
bS done, the merchants along Delaware
' avenue, Front and Water streets, would
have to" send their goods back many
nuares to get to the foot of the bridge.
There Is a blp dip at the foot of Mar
ket street and this would provide an
' excellent start for the rise cf the bridge
- over the river. A few days ago a man
submitted a plan ., me, which seems
-very practical. His plans call for a.
circular Incline at the edge of the river.

By making two or threo turns around
It you aro jslfthe bridge level.
"Of course, no bridge Mould be any
good unless It could bo used by trol
ley cars and somo plan would have to
be worked out to get them on the
bridge. The brldgo should be ft great
and Imposing structure and It should not
be made unsightly. This circular Incline,
Mhlch has been suggested, could bo In
tho form of a S00-foot circle and, by
being so large, there should be no diffi
culty In reachlne tho brldgo level. It
also should be worked out so that the

T Spend $0,000.000
The general highway program as out-
'lined by tho Governor provides for an
expenditure during the next two years
of 140,000,000. "This," ho said, "will
consilium me most nmmuom piu...... ,

money, according, to tho Governor, will

LOCAL OFFICER MISSING
No Trace of Lt. Harry B. Maugcr
After He Fell Wounded
Second Lieutenant Harry B. Mauser,
son of Mrs, Ida Mauger, 5600 Rising Sun
avenue, has been missing since the fight
In the Argonne section last October.
Search for the missing officer has been
handicapped by uncertainty as to the
unit to which ho was attached. The
War Department records credit him with
being In A Company, 127th Infantry, but
his brother. Lieutenant Charles B. Mau
ger, now stationed tn Farls. says that
the missing man was in the 12lith Infan
try. Stories of him having been wounded
vary In giving the date. "But all agree
that he fell leading his men against the
Germans. No record of his having been
taken to a hospital has been uncovered.
Every camn In this country to which
wounded men have been taken is being
canvassed ior me man.
Lieutenant Maurer is a Central ITIrli
School graduate. Ho won both academic
and athletic honors there.

ing of Federal Regulations
at Collieries
Retail prices on nil sizes of anthracite
coal wcro reduced today.
Tho average reduction Is seventy-five
cents a ton. In some cases lt la In ex
cess of that amount About 60 per cent
of the local coal dealers lowered their
prices.
The minimum prices charged by retail
dealers Uday aro: Egg, $10.30: stove,
M0.65; nut, $10.66, and pea, J9.0B.
The reduction Is duo to tho removal
by tho government of Its regulation on
prices at the mines under which Inde
pendent operators were permitted to
cnargo seventy-five cents a ton more
than were railroad-owned companies.
Tho retail concerns In Philadelphia
which havo net lowered their prices aro
those which purchased their coal from
the railroad-owned companies.
With tho removal of government con
trolled prices tho coal market Is again
competitive. This means that brokers,!
dealers and consumers may purchase
coal where they will,

tho cost of their purchases and charged
a margin of $2.50 per ton.'
In cases whero dealers bought SO per
