reducing the fuel cost for power.
Car Barns niul Repair Shop
No additions have been made to the
I car barns or the repair shop, and with
the exception of a few minor improve
ment* they are the same as at the
close of the year 1913.
Track and Roadway
It was necessary to do considerable
; reconstructing of track work during
the year, the different jobs being enu
merated as follows:
Track Work t»n Derry Street
This work between Thirteenth and
Eighteenth streets was necessary on
account of the poor foundation of the
track, the work having been done
originally in the winter, when the soil
was frozen: and in addition, the mod
ern method of concrete support for
the track was not used at that time.
This made it impossible to keep the
track in line and surface, and the
pavement in place. The single track
length of this work was 5,100 feet.
"The section between Eighteenth
| and Twenty-third streets was neces
sary on account of the city paving and
grading this part of Derry street. The
single track distance was 6,673 feet.
Track Work in I-'ourtli Street
"This work was necessary on ac
count of the city paving this section
jof street: the rail being in good con
dition, was relaid. The single track
[distance was 565 feet.
Replacing 'Curves
, "The worn out curves were renewed
iat Capital, Broad and Margaretta
I streets.
Track Work in Steelton
"On account of the borough of
I Steelton paving some streets on which
} your company has tracks, it was nec-
I essary to reconstruct the tracks as
| follows: In Harrisburg street, between
IPine and Elncoln streets, a distance of
1,060 feet; in Second street, between
Chestnut and Chambers streets, a dis
tance of 3,800 feet; In Chambers street,
[ between Front and Second streets, ti !
| distance of 225 feet,
i "The above jobs were paved be
tween the rails with sheet asphalt, the
same material as used on the balance
!of the street. Rows of brick were used
j adjacent to the rails.
"In Front street, between Higli
j land street and the old eastern bor-
I ough line, a single track distance of
j 6,162 feet was laid. The track in this
| section is located on the south side of
1 street, a distance of three feet from
I the southern rail to the curb along
the old Pennsylvania canal. As is was
lof considerable advantage to your
company to maintain the track in this
location, it was agreed with the bor-j
ough to pave between the tracks and
nine inches on outside thereof with
wood blocks, which make a very sat
isfactory paving for this character of
street, and conform with the paving
j of Front streert west of this point.
Track Work in Middletown
"Owing to an extension of the plant
of the Middletown Car works, and the
borough abandoning portion of streets
to accommodate the same, an agree
ment was entered into with your com
pany and the Middletown, Highspire
and Steelton Street Railway company,
to reconstruct and partly relocate
what is known as the Middletown
loop. The track was removed on
Wood street and relocated on Oather
in street. About 4,000 feet of track
was involved in this work. Part of the
expense was borne by the Middletown
Car Works.
Subway at Second and Mulberry
"An agreement having been entered
into between the city and the Cumber
land Valley Railroad Company for the
construction of a subway at Second
and Mulberry streets, the old surface
tracks of your company have been re
moved at this point, and a temporary
track has been constructed at the level
of the subway, and put in use. Per
manent tracks will be placed when
the subway work has advanced suffi
ciently. This work will remove the
dangerous grade crossing at this point,
and is of obvious advantage to your
company.
"The city had constructed a new
bridge over the Pennsylvania Railroad
tracks at Dock street, Harrisburg,
over which your company has a track,
and the portion of the expenses
chargeable to the company under the
city ordinance was assumed and paid
by it.
Miscellaneous Equipment
"An auto-repair line wagon was pur
chased during the year, for making
quick and economical repairs to the
overhead line. The results obtained
have fully warranted this expense.
| "In conclusion, we would say that
I your property has been well main
i tainea, and no expense has been spared
; to keep it in good physical condition.
J "It is with pleasure that the board
; acknowledges the efficient. services
rendered to the company arid its pat
rons by the officers and employes dur
j ing the past year.
"Respectfully submitted by order of
the Board of Directors,
"F. B. MUSSER,

SHOWS BIG DECREASE
Furlough Extra Trainmen Because
of Slump in Traffic; Less
Coal Shipments
February freight ' business on the
Pennsylvania Hallroad according to
Middle Division records made public
to-day, was 4,000 cars less than dur
ing the same month last year. With
three days less In the month the car
movement last month was 23,292 cars
less than January.
The total car movement over the
Middle division during February was
H0.490. Of this number, 83,793 were
loaded cars; and 56,677 empty. To
take care of the February business
2,231 trains were necessary.
Because of the decrease in freight
business eighteen extra freight train
men were furioughed indefinitely to
day. The decrease in freight business
is said to be due to the falling off in
coal trattlc. Warm spells in February
cut down the demand for coal.
February was a second successive
month of low anthracite productions
on account of the continued high tem
perature which was 6'i degrees above
the normal daily average up to the
26th of the month. As February was
also a warm month of low output last
year, it is probable that the amount
of coal mined last month was approxi
mately equal to that of February a
year ago. The Bureau of Anthracite
Coal Statistics reported shipments of
4,121,451 tons In February, 1914.

paign opening said he thought local
option was needed. Eater on he said
ho desired it. and once said that if

would spell it. Eaat night he told the

The fight for local option is on and
the Governor is backed by influential
newspapers ana prominent men. The
Governor has been supported In his
stand by hales of letters and telegrams
and by resolutions and statements.
He has been In touch with prominent
men all over the State and plans to
have men favorable to local option
lino tip with him and bring home
pressure to bear on the legislators.
Some of the biggest leaders in the
local option movement in the State
arc arrayed with him.
East night the House law and order
committee met the Governor In his
office before the legislature assem
bled. The Governor's ofTlce was lighted
up and everyone knew that something
was doing. The Governor told the
committeemen lie wanted the bill
passed, but that ho wanted the people
to know what was in it. and that the
committee should carefully consider it
and take time to digest it. To one
member, who said that the bill might
as well come out now, the Governor
Is said to have remarked that he was
in no hurry,
When another Inquired about what
he proposed to do. the Governor said
that If It was defeated ho would
make local option an Issue In the
district of every man who
voted against the bill next primary
