Central Fire Station The proposed telephone system for fire calls to be handled at police head quarters as a central fire station is especially important, however, al though, as Mr. Diehl points out, the only reason why this recommendation har, not been carried out is lack of appropriation. On this problem Mr. Diehl says: The large number of telephone calls emphasizes the importance of the proposed improvements which are intended to handle these callß in a more expeditious and careful manner. Under existing conditions the selection of com pany and apparatus is left entirely to the citizen or the telephone op erator, neither of whom are ex pected to be familiar with the location of the nearest company or the kind of apparatus such company may possess. These calls should all be handled through the headquarters with an attendant familiar with not only the equip ment of the department but as well the topography of the city. This arrangement would minimize the possibility of error or delay. Need for Permanent Quarters If the Improvements are to pro- TUESDAY EVENING, ceed at the present location, they should at least be protected by a lease covering a term of years. Pending the solution of the head quarters matter as to location and the adoption of some arrangement that will assure greater perma nency, It Is suggested that if this problem cannot be promptly solved, the funds on hand for the proposed improvements be used for extension of the underground system in the Hill section. This particular section is sugested for the reason that the extension in that direction will be in conjunc tion with the Market street in stallation already made and will present no further complications so far as any proposed move or change In headquarters may be concerned. This would he hut ad vancing the underground work on the hill, for which additional funds would be required later. It would result merely in anticipating by possibly some years work that would be a ruture necessity. The Installation of this im proved arrangement will necessi tate more careful attendance at the central office, and when it is placed in full operation, which need not necessarily be at once, arrangements should be provided for three desk men. one of whom should be on hand at all times. These men should be carefully se lected for their intelligence, care and attention to duty, as the po sition will be one of more than ordinary importance. The Passing of the Poles Mr. Diehl goeS into detail relative to the installation of red and green police and Are signal system. There are now thirty-two red light signals in various parts of the city. In this connection Mr. Diehl speaks of the big strides that have been made in substituting the underground wiring system for the overhead method of carrying current, but the comparatively small number of poles that still exist in Harrisburg Is probably the better Indication of the gradual transfer of the overhead wire to the underground conduit. Two complete inspections of poles were made during the year and these showed that throughout the length and breadth of the city there are 8,2 88 poles remaining. Of this number forty-four belong to the city. The re mainder include the electric light, tele phone. telegraph and trolley com panies. In conclusion Mr. Diehl discusses the new voltmeter system of testing out the flow of electricity through the; city. Incidentally he pays a tribute to 1 the electric light company for the manner in which It has been comply ing with the terms of the merger ordi nance. In this connection Mr. Diehl says: The so-called merger ordinance, which permits the consolidation of the Paxtang Electric Company with the Harrisburg Light, Heat and Power Company, provides for the installation of five recording voltmeters at points to be selected by this bureau. Tests are now under way to determine the loca tions. This matter has not been hastened for the reason that It Is desired to give the operating com pany an onportunty to get their plant, which is practically being rebuilt, in such form that when the readings are started they be of some definite value. This delay has been permitted more particu i larly. too, because of the fact that i a disposition has been shown to not only comply with the ordi i nance mentioned, but In some in i stances the work is proceeding farther at this tlfne than the re ! aulrements of the ordinance de- HAKRIBBURG TELEGRAPH mand. For instance, a line in Walnut street not mentioned in the ordinance has been entirely removed. Other work of equal importance has also been accom plished in the \\;ay of improved and substantial construction, dis placing; many dangerous features of the old plants. U. S. RE .ETS PLAN IN THE FRYE CASE [Continued from First i'axc.] of the reply the German government would make. i It was dispatched to American Am bassador Gerard June 24 and by him presented to the German foreign office last Sunday afternoon. The communication asks that Ger-j many reconsider her refusal to settle j by direct diplomatic negotiations, in stead of by prize court proceedings, the claim presented on the behalf of the captain and owners of the Frye and points out that such proceedings are unnecessary and not binding upon the United States in view of German's admission of liability for the sinking of the ship under the treaty of 1828. The American Government declares that It will accept indemnity if paid promptly, as reparation. It is made clear that the United States will not accept Germany's contention that she has a right to stop the carrying of I contraband by American ships "by I destruction of the contraband and the I ship carrying it." While no mention of submarine warfare was made In either the last j German note or the present reply, oc-1 casion was taken to deny this right,) because c held at the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce to-night.
