ANTHRACITE COIL
TRAFFIC INCREASES
Expecting Rush t* Continue,
Reading Company Prepares For
Extra Business
* [>'
Anthracite traffic on the Reading Is
s i the increase. Forecasts for next
<» eek indicate a further addition and
preparations have been made to take
care of the extra traffic at the Ruther
ford yards und other points. As soon
»■» the new engines are delivered it is
t that additional crews will be
put to work. At present Reading
trews are called to work here.
More than 1,800 cars of anthracite
were loaded and shipped out from the
Reading company's mines on Wednes
day and the traffic on the main line
Is very heavy.
There are unmistakable signs of
better conditions all along the line
ftnd everybody seems to be taking
«. more favorable view of conditions.
The market seems to be absorbing
the entire output of anthracite and
dealers everywhere are storing a good
mpply.
Some coal is stored at the big yards,
but this is principally of the smaller
•lueß, such as is used for steaming
purposes and pea. The demand for
Iho latter is less than for the pre
pared sizes. It is almost certain that
kit of the collieries of the Reading
i'oal and Iron Company will continue
on full time for some time.

HUyQIjL Service Commission
which begin on
and the argument
on the proposed telephone rate sched
ule is fixed for April 27.
Six of the applications for approval
are made by the city of Philadelphia
for abolition of grade crossings, while
applications have also been made for
abolishing grade crossings in Lacka
wanna and Lebanon counties hv var
ious railroads. Applications have also
been made for incorporation of sev
eral electric companies in Lancaster
and Lebanon counties. Among the
cases listed for hearings are passen
ger service on Bellefonte Central, rail
road: Big Spring Electric Company
service: Cumberland Valley Telephone
Company, Interchange of service In
Adams county.
The commission will also give a
hearing to complaints about the con
dition of the York and Maryland Line
turnpike which lirs been complained
against by a motor company.
Not Fixed Yet.—Formal orders an
nouncing the dates and places for the
encampments of the National Guard
will probably not be issued for some
time owing to the fact that no agree
ment has been reached on rates. It
Is probable that the designation of Mt.
Gretna may be changed unless more
favorable rates may be obtained. Sev
eral places are under consideration ifor
the encampment of the Second bri
gade. but beyond the fact that it will
be held in the western part of the
State nothing has been determined.
State Maple Sutrar. —The State Bu
reau of Agricultural Statistics has
completed the llirst Inquiry made Into
the maple sugar industry in this
State and it shows that people in
thirty-five counties, or over half the
State, are engaged in it. The produc
tion runs over a million pounds of
sugar a year.
Spring Clean-up.—State Fire Mar
sha! Joseph L. Baldwin is out with an
appeal for a Spring clean-up of in
flammable material. In a bulletin Just
issued he considers the clearing away
of articles that are liable to cause fire
is just as Important as some of the
clean-ups advocated by cities and
boards of health for sanitary reasons.
"Take out the things that arc liable
to burn and that you have packed
away until the Spring clean-up" sug
gests the marshal. "If this is done it
will make houseeleaning much easier
and remove the cause of many fires."
The marshal says that when people do
start to burn up things they should
use care and not start lires on a windy
day and should not leave a smoulder
ing fire.
Tliree Sessions Soon.—Holding of
three sessions a day may be started
in the House of Representatives
within the next fortnight. After next
week very few hearings will be ac
corded by House committees and the
subcommittees which were named
this week to take charge of the bills
on hand will be asked for reports.
The result will be a big list of bills
being sent to the House daily. In ad
dition to the 23 5 appropriation bills
now before the House over 200 more
are to come out and debates on the
important legislation are expected.
The appropriation bills will be made
special orders when they reach third
reading.
Mori- Men at Work.—Between 4,000
and 5,000 men are at work on the re
pairs to the State highways and the
gangs are now in every county,
weather conditions having improved
to such an extent that extensive Im
provements can be undertaken. The
winter's snows and rains do not ap
pear to have caused much damage
Ito roads or culverts, but every por
tion of highway is being inspected.

OFFICIALS INSPECT
SANITARY CONDITIONS
Getting Ready For Annual Clean
up; Borough Cleaner Than
Year Ago
With an inspection of the santiary
conditions of the borough by Burgess
Fred Wigfield and a party of borough
officials this afternoon plans for Steel
ton's annual clean-up were begun in
earnest.
The inspection party gathered at
Front and Locust streets at 2 o'clock.
The West Side was visited first and
the- lower end foreign sections later
in the afternoon.
In the party were Burgess Fred
Wigfield, Councilmen Benjamin Ca
pella, Charles F. Reiseh and Fred
Wagenbaugh, Highway Commissioner
Jacob Meshey, Health Officer Eben
Butler and Chief of Police H. P. Long
naker.
At many places, particularly in the
foreign sections, sanitary conditions
were found bad. Ashes were heaped
in piles in many back yards, garbage
was allowed to accumulate in others,
and in a few places plumbing mis
takes were discovered. It is likely
that some recommendations will be
made for improvements. On the
whole, however the borough was
found to be in a much cleaner and
sanitary condition than last year. This
is due .it is belieVed. to the cam
paign of education inaugurated some
time ago by the burgess.
The borough's official clean-up week
begins May 3 and ends May 8. Boy
Scouts, health officers, members of the
highway committee and the priests in
the various foreign churches will co
operate with the burgess to make this
year's campaign the most thorough
ever undertaken in Steelton.
