There are epochs in music just as there are epochs in his

been the perfect piano—ever since pianos have been made
The great masters of music have always recognized this.

BIGELOW READY
TO BEGIN REPAIRS
Statement Shows That His Depart
ment Will Tackle Road Work
Without Delay
In anticipation that there will be no
further legal proceedings to hold up
the payment of the million dollars ac
cumulated from, automobile licenses,
Highway Commissioner Bigelow is
preparing to begin much-needed re
pjiir work at once on the State high
ways. The decision of Judges McCar
'ell and Henry handed down this week
THURSDAY EVENING, BARRIBBURG (£££& TELEGRAPH JUNE 11, 1914.
releases for this purpose the sum of
$1,028,665, which is the accumulated
money derived from the taxation of
automobiles and licensing of drivers
| during the current year. This vast
i amount of money has been withheld
State Highway Department
b> the action of the Auditor General
and the State Treasurer, who have
sought judicial interpretation of the
act of July 1913, under which all
such sums are appropriated to the uses
n'h , ! ate Highway Department.
Ihe decision of the Dauphin county
court, rendered in two cases, involved.
Of S s2, C 142 ' ?1 ' 035 and a totai
State Highway Commissioner Bige
low says that the money will be used
™^wt£ Ur ?, 08< : of P" ttln & In first-class
condition all of the State highways of
Commonwealth. He points out
that the State Highway Department
PAssesses mach'nery. material and a
force of workers necessary to begin
operations at a moments notice
throughout the entire State. During
the past few months, while the cases
were before the courts in their various
aspects, the State Highway Depart
ment has utilized the opportunity to
put its working force in condition to
start work just as soon as word was
given.
Details of the Work
Commissioner Bigelow intends to
ha\e the State Highways gone over
thoroughly, broken places repaired,
gutters cleaned out, drains and cul
verts fixed and the" roadway scraped,
cleaned and put in tip-top condition.
Necessarily it will not be possible to
enter on new construction to any great
extent, since the amount of money
available will barely suffice for the
purposes outlined above on the 9,000
mile of State highways In the Com
monwealth.
In voicing his pleasure at the de
o£ the courts Commissioner
Bigelow said. Had it not been neces
worklng upon State
£ i »? ear becau «e of In
sufflciyt legislative appropriations the
present situation of poor roads in many
parts of the State would have been
avoided. As It Is now it will keep the
organization of the State Highway De
partment busy throughout the sum
mer months in repairing the State
highways. We are ready to give the
word to start."
