POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT
With the announcement of
E* C. Henderson
r,f ,h ° Second Ward r,f Steelton to
represent his ward in Council for the
nrxt ,errrl - u might he well to mention
* mm a few of the Items in which he was
' s • active, and in many cases prime
mover. The Councilman during the
' veh years has served principally on
Highways. Town Property and Police;
i*mgm has served the entire seven years on
IPiHMkfr'f mmt Highway. During six years of this
time he has been the chairman, dur
? IMSi ing which period practically every
I ; macadam street in the town has been
jk rebuilt. Streets were oiled after much
% opposition. This led to oiling in other
sections of the town, thus eliminating
■H <lu.<t nuisance, and creating a better
> ' | L sanitary condition. When Councll
■L' « j , ma n Henderson entered Council, there
''wlf t - was but one paved street. There are
now betw een seven and eight miles,
much of which is due to the Council
man's persistent efforts. Mr. Hender
son's experience with the Penna. Steel
„ , ui » . Co ' P ,aced him in a position to know
the materials necessary for the work and in this way the taxpayer received
quality work at considerable savings. Much of the credit for the long drawn
out suit between the United States Wood Preserving Co. and the Borough in
the recovery claim for replacing curbing was due to the efforts and practical
experience in his line. This, combined with legal talent enabled the Borough
to win the c«u>e In the U. S. Court for $2,847. With Mr. Henderson entering
Council the Storm Sewer problem was almost intolerable but after making
a study of this situation, this matter has been handled from year to year
until Steelton people can feel that with the 1,000 feet of storm sewer noW
under way which will be completed under the supervision of the chairman
will gi\e the Borough not only the best paved, but the best sewered borough
in the State. As a town property Councilman, Mr. Henderson was chairman
of the special committee appointed to purchase Citizen Combination Chemical
the result was as in other cases, the best
articles were obtained for the least money. The construction of the Locust
street steps marks Steelton s most lasting and ornamental improvement. This
work, done jointly between the borough and enterprising citizens, was done
under the supervision of the Chairman of Highways. While Mr Henderson
represents the, Second Ward in Council, he is termed by the taxpayers Is "
Councilman at large, as he takes as much pride in other sections as he does

OFFICE OF OSCAR G. WICKERSHAM, RECORDER
OF DEEDS AND CLERK OF THE ORPHANS'
COURT OF DAUPHIN COUNTY.
TO THE REPUBLICAN ELECTORS OP DAUPHIN COUNTY:
Having announced several days ago that I would be a candidate for the
Republican nomination for the office of Recorder of Deeds of Dauphin County
to succeed myself in that office I desire to state, that I stand on my record
for general efficiency In the office, for prompt dispatch of business for an
economically administered office and for making more money for the tax
payers of Dauphin County than has ever before been made.
During the first three years of my term I collected and paid over to the
county, after payment of all expenses of the office the sum of $10,»«3.6« from
an office which In many other counties is not self sustaining. By the end of
the present year I will have made for the county more than SIB,OOO. I have
increased the net revenue from the office to the county from $96.58 in 1902 to
the sum of $3,734.83 In 1814.
Further. I have paid better wages to my clerks than was paid by any
of my predecessors in return for the excellent services rendered by them to
the office.
Patrons of the office want me to continue as Recorder of Deeds. The
general public has profited by me being recorder of Deeds and I claim the
tight to Republican support in return for services rendered by me to the
lepubllcan Party during a period of more than twenty years.
I solicit your support at the primaries to be held next month.
Very sincerely,
OSCAR G. WICKERSHAM

tax says: "A minimum appraisement
of SI,OOO, on account of capital stock
subject to taxation, is made against
all companies, irrespective of the
character of the activities or the
amount of property invested in the
State. Under the former practice the
passing of a report without settlement,
on account of the entire capital stock
being engaged in manufacturing ren
ders it possible for the same to be
opened and settlement made thereon
by subsequent auditors general. Un
der the present practice, the settle

rors, after a year from date of volun
tary payment."
Approximately 6,300 domestic cor

a revolver shot at Mr. Nlchol. The
bullet took effect in the side of the

Another attempt at robbery at the
home of George Morrette, or 259 Ham
street, was reported last evening. Here
the thieves ransacked several rooms
before they were frightened away by
the screams of Mrs. Morrette. Nothing
of value was taken.
Since the first crime was reported
on Memorial Day no arrests have been
made that have checked the crime
wave. Seven women have been as
saulted In their homes, several high

innumerable cases of petty thieving
and house breaking have been report

Another suggestion Is that a greater
