To the Citizens of Harrisburg, Pa.:
As a candidate for City Council, under the commission form o# 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 Iwould give to my own business.
I also promise to make every SSvS

Municipal Ice Plant that will
furnish ice to ALL the people, as SjlfiF'
near as possible to cost as is
consistent with a business con- .«•.>
duct of the plant.
In the statement printed below
I will endeavor to show the cost A ' IjMH
of building a plant and the ex- llftMjjaMßgWg v
pense of running it. and Icnve to jHrajWC*» V BM

the city cannot furnish ice at

land now owned bv the city, su
porintended by the same chief ■ R/ # . 1
encineer and operated by steam
, taken from boilers in the pump-
J ;ne plant, ice could be made and
sold at a very low price. The
figures given here -were fur
niehed by the best manufactur- EBIS3SBSSS^ESSMSS£ISSBBS
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. I
The right of a city of the third class to create and operate an ice I
plant, has been questioned. There never was a doubt on the subject worth I
consideration but to make assurahce doubly sure Mr. Rodenhaver ap- 1
pealed to the Legislature for an enabling act and the following bill was I
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.

eral Assembly, Jso. 303.
