FRESH UNSETTLEMENT
By Associated Press

unsettlement of stocks on the resump

manifesting marked heaviness. U. S.
Steel which closed at 75% last week,
opened with 2,000 shares at 74% to
7 4%, soon recovering, however, to 75.
Reading's declines of a point to 149
was the only feature of the railways
where light dealings were the rule.
The lower tendency In this market was
foreshadowed by London, where the

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

for sale but there are many families now appreciating the ad
vantages of a home with air space from all sides. Look this

v-
and Emerald streets. The price was
not an unusual bargain. 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.
