To the Citizens of Harrisburg, Pa.:
As a candidate for City Council, under 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 hone«t,
conscientious, industrious service that I would give to my own business.
I also promise to make every
secure for the city a
Municipal Ice Plant that will
furnish ice to ALL the people, as
near as possible to cost as is • ; ; -iBH
consistent with a business con- "JC '»*
duct of the plant.
In the statement printed
I will endeavor to show the cost aM '
of building a plant and the ex- M
pense of running it, and leave to -|J»
you the decision as to whether
the city cannot furnish ice at ;
one-third the price it is now fur- ..

now by the su- »- -'

engineer and operated by steam
taken from boilers in the pump
ing plant, ice could be made and
sold at a very low price. The
figures given here were fur
nished by the best manufactur
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.

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 profit-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 assurahce 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 rpanufacture ice, and to sell the same to the
inhabitants of such city at such rates as shall be fixed bv 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 tfye Commonwealth.
Two years ago my friends responded to my appeal for support in
great numbers and with genuine earnestness. For this proof of their
friendship and confidence I most sincerely thank them. I have in no
respect abated my desire to serve the people of the city faithfully and
with the ability and energy at my command and now by this medium
earnestly solicit a renewal of their pledges of friendship, assuring each
voter that I will fully apreeiate the favor bestowed and shape my labors
in the office so as to work the highest advantage to the public.
Ts>urs for the greatest good to the greatest number,

For Republican Nomination
Was he not counted out four years ago
Bby failure to count double-crossed (and
therefore emphatic) votes for himself?
Did he not carry the People's contest into
Court? What became of those ballots?
As it was he lacked less than 70. Yes, he
paid more than SI2OO. Court costs in an
rr
effort to have every vote cast for him
counted. He was determined that no
voter's ballot should be ignored and
thrown out; that no voter should be dis
franchised. He succeeded in showing
that more than 70 votes emphatically
marked for him had not been counted,
and notwithstanding but rather because
of that success he was compelled to pay
more than SI2OO. Court costs (S4OO his
own, voluntarily, and SBOO of M. E.
Stroup's, when compelled, Dec. 1914, by
order of Court only). He was deprived
of the office because 65 more such votes
were not found in the dilapidated and
broken ballot boxes. He now carries
this case to the People and asks for a
verdict of the People in his favor. Vote
for Paul A. Kunkel, your friend and ad
vocate. Primary, Sept. 21, 1915.
He stands for Independence, an Hon

is raging In the tree-tops. If it does

But it does Jump. The wind takes a

the tops of the trees beyond. The pre

converts the battle into a size which is
beyond the force of the ranger. He

Instructions that will concentrate
scores of trained fighters. These are
to report at certain points and take
charge of the work there.
This entire campaign may be fought
at the rangers' school. It may be
necessary at any moment to actually
fight it in some of the great forests
of the West.
Campaign of Prevention
But the campaign of fire prevention
is pursued with no less determination,
and throughout the year. The laying
down of a forest ground plan of
breaks, trails, telephone lines, lookout
stations and such is but a small part
of the prevention work. Much of it is
educational.
There is the campaign, for instance,
which has as its object bringing the
man who goes into the woods to a
proper appreciation of his responsi
bility. At first the Forfst Service used
warnings that were threats. The law
assessing fines and imprisonment was
quoted. Later it was decided that a
threat was unpleasant and therefore
had no place in vacation land. Psycho
logically, said the authorities, a threat
arouses antagonisms. Let's be pleas
ant about these warnings. So now they
are putting up signs which read some
thing like this:
"Going hunting? Well, watch the
matches."
"Did you put out your campflre?"
"Don't burn up the forests!"
There are admonitions to be careful
at all the water holes, at all the camp
ing places. The rangers have even
built fool-proof fireplaces at certain
camps out of which fire cannot get
into the woods. The literature which
tells where to hunt also carries the fire
warnings and information as to how
danger may be avoided. The tobac
conist at the resort hotel is furnished
with slips for distribution containing
information and fire warnings and on
the opposite side of which he may
print his own advertisement. There
is the ever-present but pleasant warn
ing of the danger that lurks in the
reckless use of matches and neglect of
campfires.
The whole mechanism of forest fire
fighting was an undeveloped science
when the necessity for It. arose. It re
quired much experiment to determine
what were the best methods of pro
cedure. It required many experiments
to determine what lines of attack were
most effective, what tools should be
used. It required even longer to lay
down the ground plan of trails and
telephones and lookouts and to de
velop a force, an organization.
The service has just now reached
the point where It feels that these are I
so perfected that It Is entirely at home i
In coping with a great emergency. j
The information that has been de
veloped by the Forest Service Is
eagerly seized upon by those states
which are doing work toward the pro
tection of their own woods. The fed
eral service co-operates with all such
and the government furnishes a parti
of the money if states will organize
for fire fighting. Private owners of
great forest tracts are also applying
the lessons learned on national forest
to their holdings and the Forest Serv
ice Is /ending aid to all such.
