LYNCH FOR ALL-STEP
PLAN AT MARKET ST.
Commissioner Will Confer With
Seitz as to What Scheme
Win Be Suggested
Legislation authorising the closing
of the gap in the river front wall at
Market street will be ottered in Council
Tuesday, City Commissioner W. H.
Lynch declared to-day. although he
added that he cannot say definitely
whether the measure will provide for
a continuance of the line of steps
across the opening or for the construc
tion of blank wall from the water's
edge to the top of the steps.
Just which of these two plans will
be embodied in the measure will be
decided upon, ilr. Lynch said, after
he has held a consultation with City
Solicitor Seitz on Monday.
"What I should like to do," said
the commissioner, "is to continue the
line of steps through, but I can't see
just now where the necessary money
is to come from. If the funds can
he found we'll surely choose this
scheme."
While work on the river front im
provement, on the sewers and water
pipe lines. Reservoir entrance and
other city work generally is being
pushed, the grading work on the
Pennsy freight site is being hustled
along as speedily as possible while the
excellent weather holds.
To-day the Harrisburg Railways
Company put in the switch at Wash
ington and Second streets. before
the freight station site was graded a
trolley line extended on Meadow lane
through to Washington and thence on
Front to Paxton. The only change In
the®route that will be made, President
Frank B. Musser, of the traction com
pany. said to-day, will be that the
Meadow lane line will be eliminatejl.
Whether or not the company intended
to actively operate the line, Mr. Mus
ser said, could not be stated definitely
at this time. Cars have not been run
regularly on the Washington and
Front street lines for years.
Standardization of
Trucks Is at Hand
Up to this time there has been a
lot of uncertainty in the truck busi
ness. Each year has brought its crop
of mushroom truck factories and each
year a bunch of orphan trucks has
been dumped on the market. Some
of the largest manufacturers have
stated that they feared the wildcat
competition much more than that of
more substantial companies. The
reason is that an investment in a
truck that Is inferior to begin with
and has no responsible company back
of It is liable to antagonize the buyer
against, the whole truck proposition.
There are indications that the era
of standardization and stability in the
truck industry is at hand. As evi

GREAT FOR EMERGENCIES
San Cura Ointment Should Be In
Every Home
There never was known a more re
liable ointment than San-Cura. In
most every case where it has been
used it has created astonishment. It
drew a needle out of th,e foot of tfyo
daughter of Mrs. James HftchCook, «bJ
Centreville, Pa., after the doctor had
used his lance and failed.
It has great healing and antiseptic
value. It possesses so much healing
virtue that it is guaranteed by Georgo
A. Gorgas to relieve any kind of piles,
eczema, tetter, salt rheuma, boils, car
buncles, ulcers, all kinds of chronic
sores, chilblains and chapped hands,
or money back.
It's a mighty handy remedy to have
in the house in emergencies for
bruises, burns, cuts or scalds, because
It relieves the pain and is antiseptic
and healing. It's a medicine chest in
itself—a little family physician that is
ever in demand. 25c and 50c a jar at
George A. Gorgas'.—Advertisement.
