PAY SAXTO AXD PEACE INTEREST AS COMPROMISE Council, by resolution offered by Commissioner \I. Harvey Taylor, this afternobn, paid to Santo and Peace the SIBO agreed upon as a compro mise for interest claims for land con demned for park purposes along: the River Front in the lower end of the city. The city had awarded $1,500 for the land itself. The ordinance authorizing the grading of Eighteenth from Herr to Verbeke was passed Anally, SEPTEMBER 7, 1915, DELIBERATE LIES SAYS TAYLOR [Continued From First Page.] Instead of the Morton Truck and Trac tor Company. However he was a bit hazy he admitted as to what the com pany had offered to sell its apparatus. Councilman Taylor offered his state ment after explaining the present situation relative to the Front Drive Motor Company patent infringement. This he said, led him to make answer if Council permitted to other attacks contained In the editorial. Commissioner Taylor's remarks In full were as follows: "Deliberate Falsehoods." Says Taylor "In connection with my report to Council on the action that has been taken with reference to the Friend ship tractor, I should like, with Coun cil's permission, to answer the de liberately false statement made by an evening newspaper in a recent edl i torial attack on my method of con ducting the ofliqe of the Department of Parks and Public Property. "The contract, with the Front Drive Motor Company for furnishing the tractors was concluded with the con sent of Council, long before there was any intimation of an intended action of the motor company for infringe ment of patent. I had no more knowl edge of such an action than any other member of Council, any newspaper or anyone else. However, when I was notified of the Intended suit, I promptly took up with the City Solici tor the question of indemnity for the apparatus that was being made for the city. The bond given when the contract was let, provided for 2 5 per cent. Under this new development, I thought the city should be indemni fied in full, and the City Solicitor was of the same opinion. Accordingly, Mr. Seitz wrote the Front Drive Mo tor Company to this effect, his views embodying what we had agreed upon together. All the correspondence that had passed between my office, the City Solicitor and the Hohoken Com pany was submitted to Council last week. At that time, I said that while I was decided as to the question of indemnity, I would readily agree to what the whole Council thought about it. All this is a matter of record. "Wilful Twisting of Facts" "The same editorial charges me with having 'induced the city commission' to let a contract for 'fill* for the River Front In the northern end of the city, at 26 2-3 cents a yard, while the same company 'sought and ob tained permission from the McCor mick estate to dump the fill in South Harrlsburg without charge.' This is a wilful twisting of facts, made with the deliberate Intention of mislead ing the newspaper's readers. "The bid for the supplying of tbe 'fill' for the River Front south of Maclay street was awarded to the Brown-King Construction Company, which was building the Second street subway, only after three previous at tempts to let a contract by advertis ing for bids was unsuccessful. The lowest bid received prior to the letting of the contract was fifty-nine cents a yard. Even this bid bad a string at tached to It. The contractor would only haul it for this price, if he were allowed to build an industrial railway up Front street Council unanimously decided that they couldn't stand for that. The lowest other bid was 75 cents a dump wagon load. The Truth "The Brown-King Company bid 26 2-3 cents per yard and agreed to dump the earth, spread it, and put .it over the bank. Before I offer ed an ordinance, however, I conferred with each member of Council, and every member agreed that the propo sition was the best. T didn't wish to offer an ordinance unless the other Commissioners agreed to it. And when they had done so, I had the or dinance prepared. Council unani mously adopted the measure. I am convinced that this was the best pos sible bargain for the city, but if there was any mistake of judgment, then surely the other members of Council are as much to blame as myself. Now as to the price. Any contractor, any engineer, in fact most #ny intelligent layman, will admit that the length of the haul—a distance of nearly two miles—would cost money. At. that, the Brown-King Company delivered the dirt at cost price, twenty-six and two-third cents The "Short Haul" "Fill was dumped without cost to the McCormick estate on some of its property in th<* lower end of the city, it is true. The haul is only a few blocks and an easy one. That ac counts for the lack of cost to the Mc- Cormick estate. But the Park De partment also cot some 7,000 yards of the same kind of fill from the exca vations for the River Front ' below Paxton street, without, a cent of charge. "The people In the upper end of the city have long desired a small strip of nark along the top of the river bank. They deserved it, and it was only right that some provision he made for this. What the Park Department did this summer never had been ac complished under the old city govern ment. Mr. Walter, Too "Now as to the damage which Al derman Charles P. Walter, the repair contractor, charges was done on Front street by the hauling of the trucks. Mr. Walter, as Council will recall, only raised this question after his effort to extend his repair contract for another quarter of a ve.ir had been unsuccess ful. It is charged that some provision for protecting the asphalt from the trucks should have been made In the 'fill' contract. How could this be done? r lhe streets are expected to withstand the weight of the traffic. No distinc tion can be made as to its weight or character. What was the trouble with the paving? Thousands of yards of the 'fill,' tha same character of fill was hauled over South Front street by heavy trucks to get to the lower river front or the McCormick property in the lower ®nd of the city. Was that paving damaged? It was not. The West End Play Ground "As to the playground purchased by the Park Department at Fourth f Fine Homes For Sale Three Houses, Nos. 914, 916 and 918 North Eighteenth street. Built in pairs, having side and rear entrances, all modern improvements, including steam heat. Price and terms liberal. One House No. 1721 Boas street, in course of erection. This is a detached house, having a wide lot and extending to a twenty-foot rear street. Single houses are not usually built for sale but there are many families now appreciating the ad vantages of a home with air space from all sides. Look this . house over, you will find in it a thoroughly up-to-date home.

Nobody con tended that It was. But the upper end folks had obtained nothing from the public playground improvement fund. Didn't these people deserve some share of the fund which they voted for, and which they are helping to pay? And realty men—men who know something of land values, con tended that the price was reasonable. And I also considered it fair. "The statement with relation to Atlas street is also deliberately false. Atlas street, which extends through a portion of this playground, is on the map, but wu never physically opened. To vacate a street requires four votes of Council to pass; to strike the street from the map requires three. In the near future the street will be stricken from the map. And as for the people In the neighborhood, whom it is said can have no outlet from their prop erties because of the playground, why not ask them as to the true situation? As a matter of fact, there is and al ways will be an outlet Just beside the playground, as well as an outlet on Seneca street. The Care of Trees "As for the City Forestry Depart ment, for which only SI,OOO salary, and a contingent fund of SIOO has been provided. This salary and fund wore fixed by Council. As X stated at the time, and as Council generally un derstood, I balieve, the work for th« first year was meant to be largely pre liminary, a census taking of the trees, and so on. The ordinance turned over to the city all the trees on the streets and this meant that the new department had to immediately take over their care and maintenance. It was fully understood by Council that this amount was totally Insufficient to do all this wo.-k. It wasn't a case of anybody's poor estimate—it was sim ply a lack of fund's. The Fire Apparatus Purchase "With relation to my refusal to nward th-» contract for fire apparatus to the Morton Truck and Tractor Company, I can only say this: The bid of that company was $4,250 for chassis for engines, and $4,000 for combination wagons. If these bids had been accepted, only four instead of five pieces of motor apparatus could have been purchased. True, the Mor ton company did bid on a four-wheel drive, bjit this would have meant that the apparatus would have been an ungainly impractical six-wheeled ve hicle—a vehicle which is rapidly be coming obsolete. Every fireman in the city would have protested against this. No Political or Personal Friendship "Mr. Dunkle, president of the com pany. is one of my best friends, and ir I had considered political advance ment. as I have been charged with doing. T would most surely have fav ored his firm. As it was, I was ready to award a part of the contract to the Morton Company, but it with drew its bid. Far be it from me to speak disparagingly of any concern, but Ido wish to say this: We've had to repeatedly make repairs and changes to the Morton apparatus In asmuch as being the first piece of ap paratus built by this firm, it was somewhat experimental in character No such repairs have been required by the other equipment." Council Is Told How City Can Materially Reduce Its Fire Risk How materially re duce its mercfffitlle flre'lnsurance risks under the new "standard rati''.? 1 ' es tablished by the Board of Fire Under writers, was explained in detail to City Council this afternoon by Attor ney J. E. B. Cunningham, counsel for the Chamber of Commerce. Edwin S. Herman, president of the Planning Commission, and Secretary McColgin, of the-Chamber, attended the session. Harrisburg is penalized, according to the report of Mr. Cunningham, six teen cents per hundred on its mercan riel fire risks based on the standard rate of twenty cents. Forty or more methods of reducing the risks, fixed by certain number of points were explained. These were decided upon after the Fire Under writers had made a thorough survey of the city. The same principles, Mr. Cunning ham pointed out, could be applied to dwellings and he has no doubt that the insurance risks on dwellings will be materially decreased. The Cham ber of Commerce, he said, was par ticularly interested in the mercantile rates. Here are a few of the ways In which it can reduce its risks: Reorganization of a Are depart ment into a paid system with ninety men; revision of building code; elimi nation of overhead wires; providing all motor apparatus; increasing hose suppyl to 19,500 feet (the city now has In the neighborhood of 14,000); increased pressure; turning pumping station into fireproof building; provid ing additional water feed mains from reservoir; placing of additional water mains; substituting six for four-inch hydrants; cleaning water pipe system: overhauling flrehouses; semiannual testing of pumping capacity; removal of police and fire alarm system to fireproof building; substitution of mod ern switch and testing board In police and fire alarm headquarters; Improve ment of circuits; installing a fire bo* within 500 feet of every mercantile building; present boxes to be replaced with more modern type. Council referred the report to Com missioners Bowman and Tavlor who will report to Council after which a conference Will be arranged with the Chamber of Commerce on the subject. niIBBER STAMnp afBI SEALS & STENCILS !j| W MFG.BYHBG.STENCILWORKS ■ 11 130 LOCUST ST.
