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. The big

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. You will find most
: of them improving their condition dur
i ing their ownership of the car, the next
