10 To the Citizens of Harrisburg, Pa.: As a candidate for City Council, binder the commission form of gov ernment, I wish to make a statement to the people whose vote and sup port I am asking. I believe it is necessary for a Councilman to devote all his time to the duties of his position and, if nominated and elected, I promise to do this. I promise to give to the city that same honest, conscientious. Industrious service that I would give to my own business. I also promise to make every effort to secure for the city a H Municipal Ice Plant that will I furnish ice to ALL the people, as I near as possible to as is .< wB consistent with a business con duct of the plant. :• In the statement printed below I will endeavor to show the cost i of building a plant and the ex- y pense of running it, and leave to f you the decision as to whether the city cannot furnish ice at urn" -91 one-third the price it now fur nished by private parties, mak ing a profit that will go into the / ■; vD treasury and help reduce J?jr the now heavy and burdensome Our Water Department is very profitable, and with an Ice plant located on the Island, a ' adiacent to the filter plant, on a . ,M^k land now owned by the city, su- . perlntended by the same chief engineer and operated by steam taken from boilers in the pump ing plant, ice could be made and I sold at a very low price. The figures given here were fur nished by the best manuf&ctur- ers and concerns in the various lines and show the exact cost of the various items. The estimate is for a plant of the latest improved type, 100 tons capacity every 24 hours, and shows the actual cost of ice to be $1.36 per ton delivered at the homes of the customers. Ice is now selling in Harrisburg at from six to twelve dollars per ton. This same ice can be made and sold, delivered to customers by the municipal ice plant, at a fair profit to the city at 25 pounds for 5 cents (four dollars a ton). Ample provision has been made to store the surplus ice made during the winter months and the plant can be run every day in the year.

Cost delivered to customer . 53.900 Profit to city $92,100 Please investigate my statement, and if you think municipal owner ship of the ice plant a good business proposition for the city, and a money-saver for the people, you will help it along by voting for me. Remember, water and ice go hand in hand and. as the Water Depart ment has always been a good proflt-maker, an ice plant can be made the same. The right of a city of the third class to create and operate an ice plant, has been questioned. There never was a doubt on the subject worth consideration but to make assurance doubly sure Mr. Rodenhaver ap pealed to the Legislature for an enabling act and the following bill was passed with practical unanimity in both branches of the General As sembly during the session of 1913 and approved by Governor Tener on the 25th day of June of that year: Section 1. Be it enacted, etc.. That each city of the third class is hereby authorized to manufacture ice, and to sell the same to the inhabitants of such city at such rates as shall be fixed by ordinance and to that end may erect, equip and maintain such buildings and other structures, and may purchase or hire and maintain such ve hicles, as may be deemed necessary for such purpose. Approved the 25th day of June, A. D. 1913. JOHN K. TENER. The foregoing is a true and correct copy of the Act of the Gen eral Assembly, No. 353. ROBERT McAFEE, Secretary of the Commonwealth. . m >'„ f r len ' sß responded to my appeal for support in peat numbers and with genuine earnestness.

E. C. Henderson, chairman of the highway committee, has been nego tiating with .the New York concern and the Harrisburg Railways Com pany for some time with a view to I having this street put into first class condition. Already the traction com pany is making repairs and last even ing the New York concern, through Mr. Henderson, assured council that work on relaying the section blocks outside the trolley tracks will be started within a few days. 20 After Jones' Job No steps were taken last evening for filling the vacancy on the police force caused by the dismissal of Clin ton Jones. Mr. Henderson, on be half of the other two members of the police committee present—both of whom are candidates for justice of the peace-—asked that no selection be made until later. There were about twenty candidates for the place, he [ said. Mr. Reisch vigorously protested against the delay. Mr. Henderson, however, was sustained and the mat ter went oyer. It was decided to have a special meeting of council as a committee of the whole to discuss the new borough license measure, copies of which will be sent each councilman before final action is taken. To Plaoe More Lights Oh motion of Mr. Capella the ordi nance comittee was instructed to pre pare a new ordinance placing addi tional street lamps in the borough. It was also decided to extend the water main in Lincoln street to supply a number of new homes with filtered water. At the request of Mr. Sellers coun cil authorized the installation of a new heating system and an extensive repair program at the Paxtang Hook and Ladder house. The changes will cost about $250. Mr. Sellers also suggested that the borough solicitor be asked to draw the proposed new building code. This suggestion was adopted.

Tyler Douglas HAS MOVED HIS OFFICES TO 1634 Derry Street, Corner of 17 th ————— HARRISBURG Q§36& TELEGRAPH COUNCIIMEN STUDY NEW BOROUGH CODE Many of the Ordinances Must Be Changed; Will Be Huge Task; Has Bearing on Politics Members of Steelton's borough council and others Interested in mu nicipal affairs are busy these days studying the new Borough Code passed by the last legislature and now in ef fect. To conform with the provisions of the code practically every ordinanco on the borough's statue books will have to be redrawn. Many of the powers and duties of the various borough departments and officers have been changed or modified and many new forms have been set up. Within the past few months the new code has made it mandatory for coun cil to change its procedure in several things. One was the adoption of Hyacinth alley into the borough and another was the passing of the pro posed new license ordinance. In botti these cases much red tape will now be necessary. As yet. however, the real task of making the present government con form with the new code has not been reached. That will come when coun cil attempts to redraw the ordinances. Many of the present statutes will necessarily have to be wiped from the books and new ordinances drawn. Capable Men Needed That this huge task shall be done in a competent manner and with a real regard for the interests of the tax payers, prominent citizens are taking an active interest in the coming elec tion so that the ablest possible men shall go back to council to perform this duty. In the Third ward these taxpayers have lined up unanimously behind J. V. W. Reynaers, now president of council. As the chief executive at the local offices of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, Mr. Reynders naturally is equipped with an executive mind which will enable him to look ahead to the best interests of the future of the borough. Efforts are being made by good-government advocates in all three parties to return Mr. Reynders to council with the largest majority ever given a Third ward man. Down in the Second ward those in terested in carrying out this new law have lined up behind E. C. Henderson whose long experience in council, his friends claim, eminently fits him for a part in the big task of recasting the present statutes. DRAINAGE PROBLEMS Drainage matters took up a con siderable amount of council's time. It was decided to introduce an ordi nance placing all sanitary sewers un der the supervision of the board of health instead of the superintendent of sewers. A new' sewer for Hyacinth alley was authorized. Surface drain age in Francis street and Christian street between the canal and railroad was discussed and it was decided to plan some method of improving con ditions there. Lincoln street storm sewers will also be improved and the grade in Lincoln street will be changed. M. A. Cumbler offered to erect a new drinking fountain for public use at Front and T streets in council would furnish him with free water for his barn. The request was grant ed. Bills to the amount of $2,391.83 were ordered paid. AUXILIARY CARD PARTY c The ladies of Division No. 1, A. O. H., will hold a card party in A. O. H. hall. North Front street, Thursday evening. Refreshments will be served. Those in charge for the evening are Mrs. Ed ward Towsen, Mrs. Margaret Blade and Mrs. Anastasia Frazier. MORE ABOUT WAR MATERIALS Reports to the effect that the Pennsylvania Steel Cmpany will soon increase the capacity of its local plant for the manufacture of war ma terials are again circulating in Steel ton. It is said that apparatus for forging projectiles is now being in stalled at No. 2 blooming mill and that the shrapnel finishing machin ery will be installed here. too. The steel company is now turning out large orders of steel rounds for the manufacture of war materials. I-ENHAUT - * * * I Enhaut Church Desires Return of Rev.

The "used" pianos, have come to us from Harrisburg's foremost homes in exchange for new high-grade instruments sold here. The New Pianos, reduced, are a number of our own splendid makes, certain styles which do not seem to sell as readily as others. Now Is Your Chance to Get a Genuine Piano Bargain Prices range from S6O upward. We shall not publish names, as some of the "used" pianos are not of our regular line and we would therefore do other dealers an in justice. Each instrument in the sale bears a card giving a description of its quality, condition, time of service, net price and terms. Each carries our guarantee. You can come, see, hear, test, examine and compare these instruments. You will not be bothered by "special sale artists" trained to worry you into buying. None of that here. Upon request from you we will demonstrate any in strument and give details, but the printed cards andlyour own judgment will be all the salesmanship used. Remember the sale starts to-morrow morning 9 o'clock. Come in, take your time, pick out the instrument you want, call a representative to make out the con tract and receipt. J. H.

In deed, I felt as though I had in a brief time, stepped from Broadway to Broadway. Some River Front? What: "The River Front Improvement Is something to fairly knock your eye out. I have been pretty much around this country and doubt if there is any thing so impressive and artistic. New i York has its Riverside Drive, to be sure, but it also has its New York Cen- | tral freight tracks between the Hud-1 son and the Drive, an eyesore that ruins the whole prospect. The tax payers who carp on spending money' for such stunning improvements as this, likewise the gorgeous illumina tion that is so marked compared with other cities will eventually put on the muffler. Years may pass before the public adequately appreciates what Harrisburg's far-seeing citizens have done; an outsider can realize it now. "I have no doubt xtiere remain de ficiencies of various kinds but with progresslveness such as has been dis played they are sure to be remedied, iln talking with Col. Hutchison I learned that he only has nineteen pa trolmen to cover the entire city on a shift, and when you consider the length and breadth of the Harrlsburg and its cosmopolitan population this seems inadequate. At the same time, I observed only yesterday that Phila delphia was boasting ever her enter prise in planning a school for tuber cular pupils, while Harrlsburg—O, what's the use! Comparisons are odious. I should not be surprised to find subways here before Philadel phia has her's started." Reminiscences of Archibald Sangrce was correspondent in the Boer War and just before the sur render of Pretoria met there James F. J. Archibald, now the central fig ure in the Government investigation of the dispatch carrying incident in which arc involved Ambassador Duniba and high German officials. "War reporters will be sorry if Archi bald gets into serious trouble over this." rolated Sangree "for he Is, and has long been, a picturesque chap in the war game. I first saw him at ten I o'clock of a Thursday morning walk j ing down the main street of Pretoria ! along' with a chunky youth who wore lan American messenger boy service uniform. Richard Harding Davis was with me and having a very keen eye he recognized the uniform. We were greatly puzzled to make out what a Yankee messenger boy was doing in Pretoria, especially when British naval t'un shells were dropping almost in the city. He turned out to be the bearer of a big volume containing the names of 28,000 school children in Philadelphia who sympathized with Oom Paul. He was chaperoned by Hugh Sutherland, of the Philadelphia North American, but Archibald who had accidentally met the expedition at Port Said appeared to be the real conductor. For speed and efficiency Archibald beat anything I ever saw except a Chautauqua lecturer. The lat ter arrived on the same boat, was three hours In Pretoria, and then left for America, afterwards writing a "history of the Boer War." and lec turing. Archibald, the day he- arrived, helped "Jimmy" Smith, the messenger boy, reach Oom Paul; he organized "The Military Order of Pretoria." to which were eligible Americans who "fought tor or aided the Boers" and ere the day was over h§ had cha«ed SEPTEMBER 14, 1915. ten mtles out in the country and photographed Lord Kitchener coming in. Archibald, or "Jimmy" as his ac quaintances call him, has nearly a trunk full of military medals.
