New Harrisburg Hospital
to Be Built Within Two
Years on Allison Hill
A\ itliin the next two years this city will have a new Harrisburc
Hospital. 6
\\ bile no official announcement to this effect will be made for
some time by the Harrisburg Hospital management, members of the
Board of Governors this morning admitted that the old hospital
building will be abandoned and a new and up-to-date structure built
within a comparatively short time.
The new institution will be erected on Allison Hill. The exact
spot has not yet been decided upon.
>Work on the new institution will likely be started in about a
year, according t,o members of the Board of Managers. A member
of the Governor's Board in discussing the erection of the new hospi
tal, said:
"tor several years the hospital management has been quietly
discussing the need of new quarters. The noise from the Cumberland
\ alley railroad fs a constant source of annoyance and decreases the
efficiency of the institution. When the railroad improvements are
completed here and the subway and double track- bridge is built
the noise and bustle of traffic will be greater still. Then, too we
haven't room here for expansion. We will have to locate elsewhere
and it will be doubtless somewhere on Allison Hill."

COULD USE EARTH
FROM EXCAVATIONS
FOR RIVER FRONT
Many Puzzled as to Action in
Hauling Away Tons of Good
Material
The average citizen cannot under
stand why thousands of tons of filling
material which is needed to complete
the park treatment of the river front
is being deposited in quarry holes and
waste places along Cameron and Pax
ton streets. Inquiry of the proper au
thorities brings out the statement that
the cost of hauling this material now
being excavated in Mulberry street,
at Front and Second streets, is re
garded as too heavy to justify the ex
penditure, much as the dirt is needed
now and will be needed hereafter.
This matter was under consideration
by the City Council, but the proposals
lor hauling were regarded as too high
and nothing more was done. Already
2,000 loads have been deposited in the
vicinity of Cameron and Paxton streets
and the contractors stated to-day that
there would be at least 2 0,000 more
loads before the excavation shall have
been completed.
Where "Fill" Is Needed
Those who have made any study of
the conditions along the river front
between Iron allay, where the river
wall begins, and at several stretches
between that point and Seneca street
where the wall will end, realize that
all of the filling material now being
wasted on the score of economy Is
needed at the present time in the
proper grading of the slope to the de
pressed park along the wall. Even If
the cost now is more than might have
been the case a year or two ago, owing
