Continued from 1'are (Ine

000,000 fs really expressive of nothing

Why does net Mr, McSparran quote
exact tiRiirea?
I They mil be had for the askln of
tin- Itlehnay Dcpartmeiit. Or they
can be taken from Its published report
of 10-0. 1 have one en my desk.
The next report will net be out, ac
cording te law, till the early part of
llVil.
Mr. MeSparran declares repeatedly in
hi" speeches that the Highway Depart
ment U a failure, both as te the char
acter and cost of the reads it has built.
He produces one Instance of se-called
conspicuous wastefulness and gross
mismanagement.
This Is from one of his "farmer
talks: ,
"Take the Lackawanna trail from
ScrantPii te Bitishamten." he says.
"The Lackawanna Railroad relocated
its line and left a perfectly geed road
bed that needed no grading, with all Its
ballast. n
"Hid the Highway Department util
ize this opportunity te save money te
th" Staff V Ne!
"There was the roadbed with eight
een inches of ballast ready at hand.
What did the depaitnicnt de?
"It refused te use the ballast as a
foundation It cmplejed only n part
of the old read, and then struck oft
en a new- line rather than utilize the
railroad bed."
Correct! Except for Facts
The facts as te the Lackawanna Trail
as set forth by Mr. McSparran are di
re ll the reverse.
11k llighwa Department built the
I aekawanna Trail en the old roadbed
nl the railroad, and a tplendld highway
it is
The balhi't that was left in small
lets here and there, net eighteen inches
deep, as Mr. McSparran asserts. waB
all ti.-ed by the department's con cen
trai ters.
'I lie one element of truth ln the entire
Mii'ciiient is that the Highway De
railment did branch off and build a
.shorter section that cost considerable
m nej because of rock blasting.
Thfs detour was necessary, however,
Wnii'e the old roadbed entered a nar
r tunnel at this point and a detour
i.i, compulsory.
Phis tae was net furnished by the
II Thwav Department of Pennsylvania,
"im of its officials.
Themas II. McDonald is chief of the
niiv.ui of public reads of the I'nited

was s;,ved the s;,atp ,s0(H),UtMI.
1 he late highway commissioner,
I.ewifS. Sadler, who the New Yerk
Times dedaied was "America's K-st
highwn commissioner. '" had occasion.
,-enie uvuths prier te his death, te ad

He gave me the facts ln the eae j
which were published in the Evening

I'iglit weeks later new bld.s for the
same work were opened bj Mr. S'adler. '
New Bids hate S300.000
In the aggregate they were 5500.000
lower than the first bids which he re
jected '
li, this one action alone the Highway
Department sated tli" taxpayers hulf a
million delljrs. '
Anether sample of McSparrai'"" cam
paign persiflage, when addressing a
farmin: .ludience. is the follewing:
The llighwuv Depjrtment has taken
dictatorial control of the 00.000 miles
of reads in the State.
' In the country we elect our own
read supervisors. It is their bu-mess
!., -nt.. r-e the building of our reads. t
"New the State Highway Depart
ment demands that the stipprvi-ers end
plans of all new bridges and specifi
cation of all new reads te Harrlsburg.
Yeu are informed that if your super
iors de inn de this you will net get
nti"- parr of th State aid apprepria
tien What de ieij think of that for
centralization of power':"
Seme time in the future county reRds
n-a become Mite highwas: township
mad,, may be taken ever by the State.
Weak or' faulty bridges built by men
who are net expert bridge builders can
not, under the circumstances, be con
- lere.l le ant progressive State In the
I num much less Pennsylvania.
i er'and.t everv bridge plan in the
vite should be submitted for the ap
P'iiul of State engineers who are ex
ter;s in thfir profession.
Pmrleiilarly when these bridges may
''li t. dm stand en State highwajs.
D spite nil that Mr. McSparran may
sir , there was net a read worthy of
t'ie name in the State until the De
partment of Public Highways way or er
gjnized Aid the 000,000 auto owners of the
I'ei'imenwealrh knew it.
New Mr McSparran would have th
reads of the State built in sections by
'in its ciiiumissienci's.
Or bj township supervisors who are
. neither engineers nor read builders, en
specifications furnished b themselves,
wirh no responsibility te Harrlsburg,
and with immeasurable possibilities of
graft.
That at least the only infernee
that can be drawn from Mr McSpar
ran s utterances en the subject.
Is A-galn JMteiir Nulsanai
There is en rra.-al idea i .Thich
Mr. McSparran strikes a popular chord.
It concerns the nuisance of detours en
State highways. Mere profanity has
been expended and mere rubber dam
aged en detours than anywhere else en
or off the thoroughfares of the Com
monwealth. Mr. McSparran points nut that most
of these detours could he avoided if the.
method pursued In read builders In New
Yerk and New Kngland were followed.
There, where the reads are eighteen
or twenty feet wide only one-half the
width is constructed at a time, thus
permitting the ether half te be utilized
by traffic,
i "Why must three or four miles of a
State highway be closed te traffic, dis
commoding thousands of automobile
owners, se that the contractors may
net suffer a little temporary lncon lncen
' tcniencn?" asks Mr. MeSparran.
There are two considerations. One
is the narrow right-of-way nn many
.highways. In manv rases it is only
I ,i... M ;... Ti.i., n.i.A i H.n.i:..n..
"l&ir.'il irri, 4ui: ultima lb )i initially
impossible te continue building one
, half the read at a time.
Anether fact is that it is impossible,
in the case of a solid concrete read, te
, build half of the read at a time. Such
Kinds must be built In solid panels full
read width.

Each Philadelphia Bell Telephone subscriber
is connected te one of the 30 Philadelphia
Bell Central Offices by wires two tiny
wires.
These wires pass through a maze of cables
and coils, through delicate apparatus that
must be kept in careful adjustment.
And that isn't the end of it, for there must be
apparatus te connect each Philadelphia telephone
with all of the ether central offices in Philadelphia
and with any ether Bell telephone in the nation.
The job of building and maintaining this compli
cated equipment is done by two-fisted men men
who think in terms of never failing service.
Theirs tee is the task of installing new telephones,
and of maintaining them.
One outstanding quality characterizes these men
they are imbued with the spirit of courtesy.
When they come into your home or your office, you
find them anxious te de their work quickly, effi
ciently and neatly.
They want you te feel that should they return at;
some future day you will welcome them.
Fer they knew, as de all Bell people, that courtesy pays,
