DOCK PLAN THURSDAY [Continued from First Page.] tlon will be recommended to City Council at an early date as a solution to the problem of the open coal land ing at Market street. The solution had been discussed from time to time among city officials, although its adop tion was not possible until after Coun cil had granted the Harrisburg Light and Power Company the privilege of erecting a coal wharf on the island in order to remove .much of the river traffic from the Market street landing. The gap at present is probably 140 feet across, although several more sec tions of steps are to be placed to the north of the wall below the bridge. A space of about 120 feet will have to be abridged and according to the present plan this will be built solidly from the coping atop of the wall to the water's edge. At each end of the wharf pro vision will be made for placing an electric light standard. Work on the wall will be resumed as soon after April 1 as the weather and river conditions will permit, ac cording to Charles D. Stucker, presi dent of the Stucker Brothers Construc tion Company, the contractor, yester day. All that the contractor has yet to do, aside from removing certain deposits of debris from outside the wall, is to put down the remainder of the long Btretch of 14-foot wide walk from Walnut street to Maclay Equipment is now being moved to the river bank, according to Mr. Stucker.

Men of Modest Resources Now Own Automobiles "The national income tax returns furnish a lot of food for thought, es | peclally to those of modest resources I who have hesitated about buying an , automobile," says L. W. Gillmor, of »' the Harrisburg Kissel Kar Company. "It appears that of the cars regls [ tered In the United States only about i 400,000 are owned by persons having 'an income of $3,000 a year or more, ■ while about 887,000 are owned by those ! j who receive less. ■ i "This does not mean that vast tliou s sands of people owning automobiles . cannot afford it—not at all. It means s rather that a great percentage of the , American public has come to look up > on motoring as a comfort and a con l venience that pays dividends In health t and efficiency. Most owners find that ; the expense of maintaining an auto l mobile Is easily met by pruning other i Indulgences, less attractive and bene r, flciai. j j "A great majority of those of llmlt jed means who buy cars are thrifty • folks, primarily proved by the fact that • they have the money to buy a car In 5 the first place.
