OX HARRISBURG SHORES
Why City Spent So Many
Thousands to Improve Its
Embankments
"So. this is the "balcony of Europe',
eh?"
Strolling alone the great promenade
of the Bruhl Terrace that has helped
make Dresden famous, the tourist
from a far country somehow didn't
seem nearly so properly impressed as
he should have bee>v So thought his
polite friend, the German, anyway, j
Obviously, in his mind's eye, the trav- 1
eler was making a comparison.
Pausing to atlmlre the group of
statuary at the four corners of the.
gTeat steps that typifies Schilling's
conception of Morning. Noon, Evening
and Night, the stranger offered his
meed of praise. Then his eyes strayed
to the natural beauties of the Elbe be- 1
low. And again the Dresacnite got |
the impression that his guest was
making comparisons.
On Europe's Balcotty
"Bruhl Terrace." ventured the host I
enthusiastically, called 'Europe's l
balcony' because it attracts so many
thousands of visitors. So it is with 1
the Alster basin at Hamburg, with its ;
handsome residences on the shores, '
its fine lawns extending to the water's I
edge, its beautiful driveway!"
"Yes"" «aid the traveler. "Now,
then, let me tell you of another water I
front and another river basin, the
river front of Harrisburg. the capital |
city of Pennsylvania, in America, and j
the basin of the Susquehanna. And j
this is how it come to be "
Whereupon the tourist told a story: |
'Way back In 1901, when Harris- |
l"urg turned over in its slumber bed
of the vear3. yawned, rubbed Its eyes,
saw Its possibilities for civic beautl
fication and decided to really wake up.
the problem of treating the river front !
was one of several that it first planned !
to solve. The Telegraph, incidentally,
offered the initial suggestion, together
•with a tentative sketch for building a
wall of some description throughout
the three-mile length of the city
shores.
The Tourist Tells a Story
In 1910 the people of the city pro
vided the funds. One item of the third
public improvement loan called for an :
expenditure of $316,000 for the con- 1
st ruction of an Interceptor sewer and
appurtenances along the Susquehanna. ■
Ihe great concrete drain was con
structed first and Its purpose was to i
ronnwst with all the sewer outlets
that heretofore emptied into the river 1
along the shore.
For years the shallows, especially at j
the mouths of the outlets, were
Just the best gathering and family
rearing places in the world for mos
quitoes. Pools formed, and. except In
hißh water, the stagnant. filth-filled
water did Us share to keep the clerks
fairly busy in the sickness and mor
tality record department of the Board
of Health.
The Drainage Scheme
The interceptor as planned and com- ;
pleted empties Into the river at Iron
alley. At this point, by the way. the
other big Interceptor that was con
structed with the ultimate idea of con
centrating all of Harrisburg's sewage
in a disposal plant down th> river—
the Paxton creek drain—also empties.
The possibilities of floods and Ice
crushes with reference to the big drain
along the river bank presented a prob
lem. however, which the proposed
treatment of the river front readilv
solved.
Some means for protecting the big
sewer was absolutely necessary. Rip
rapping at exposed points was sug
gested, but was dismissed as imprac
ticable. This would be costly, never
completed, and would always present
a more or less ragged outline.
Dresden fiets a Rival
So the plan for c nstructing a wall
of concrete !n the form of a three
mile-long flight of eight or ten steps
to the water's edge was devised and
? littje less than three years ago the
contract was awarded to Stucker
Prothers Construction Companv. The
hid wa« for 1151.085, although some
"extras" had to be paid which ran the
total up several thousands. The gap
«n the w»ll at Market street, which is
row. being closed at extra cost, was
e.ne of the more important items. One
the coal wharves was orlginallv in
"ended for this point. One other coal
*sg point on the wall is at Paxton
street and another may be huilt at
yerbeke or revision street. This gap.
nowever. with the exception of the
stretch at "Hardscrahble." is the only
opening in the solendld stretch of
river front from Maclay street to Iron
alley.
Work was pushed vigorously under
the jurisdiction of the Roard oif Public
Works with Joel D Justin as principal
engineer in charge. • *
During the Inst two vears Citv Com
mluloner W. H. Lvr.ch has had de
partmental supervision of the work.
The lilghts Along the Wall
And the wall, even unto the prettv
standard electric lights, will be prac
tically complete for the celebration.
Fiftv-four lights wil! be placed this
week by the Harrisburg Light and
Fower Company and the remaining
fifty-four will go in next year. This
is in accordance with a plan sug
gested by the nubltc-snlrited utility
companv in order to insure the light
ing of the wall for the celebration.
Not the least important factor of
the improvement Is the splendid con
crete balustrided plaza in the rear of
the pumping station and topping the
wall at a height of some eighteen feet.
Tt affords a beautiful view tip and
down the lake-like basin of the Sus
ouehanna. While constructed bv the
wall contractors at a cost of *2.500, it
was naid for independently of the wa'l
lob bv Citv Commissioner Harry F.
Rowman. superintendent of the De
rartment of Public Safety. The in
terior of the plaza is now being planted
flower beds and shrubbery.
Tsn't Tills Some Job?
The whole wall and steps were built
of steel reinforced concrete. The sys
tem of construction l« more or less
new to Harrisburg. The steps were
nut in in sections by building concrete
forms, or stringers, which rest on
fonndation rock. Over these the steps
are molded. Atop of the wall is a
broad 14-foot-wide walk Access from
the park embankments to the wall Is
made easy bv means of gently sloping
ramps At several points on the higher
embankments frame steps have heen
provided This work was done by
City Commissioner M. Harvey Taylor,

superintendent of parks and public
property.
The enormous quantities of material
may suggest some Idea of the wall con
tract. More than 15,000 cubic yards of
concrete was used; *6OO tons of steel
reinforcing bars; 13.000 feet of conduit
for the electric light cable; 100 tons of
iron castings for the manholes by
which the detachable electric stand
ards are set In place; some 53,000
cubic yards of earth had to be ex
cavated In preparing the way for the
rreat wall.
Nor Was Nature Backward
The long line of steps and wall that
sweeps gracefully throughout the
length of the city on the bending river
is only Harrisburg's splendid man
made setting for the Susquehanna
basin. Nature's master hand had long
since taken a big share in working out
the great, scheme.
Plans have been suggested in out
line to the Planning Commission by
Warren H. Manning, the park expert,
which call for a very beautiful devel
opment of Harrisburg's water fron*.
Thousands of yards of park land along
the upper embankments have been re
claimed through the forethought of
Commissioner Taylor by "filling out"
the upper embankment to a formal
line. The slopes have been or are be
ing planted with trees and shrubbery.
But to get back to the great prome
nade of Bruhl Terrace that has helped
make Dresden famous. The tourist
from a far country was finishing his
story:
"In Mine Ain Countree"
"Now is there any comparison," he
asked of his friend the German, "when
we consider the beauty of our own
enyironment. the mountains, the lovely
gap in the mountains at Rockville, the
highlands on the western shore and
the Isle-dotted river itself? And then
think of the basin of the Susquehanna
o' nights—when the river, on its way
to the sea. winks back its genial 'hello'
and 'good-by' to the double line of
lights along the wall!
"For this," concluded the traveler,
"is the story of the 'front steps of Har
risburg'!"
His companion smiled. wisely,
feravely.
"Tet," said he. "you come four thou
sand miles to Dresden. Ah, you
Americans!"
Chanees in Program of
Playground Track Meet

the program for the seventh annual

A. Carson Stamm on
City's Improvements
A. Carson Stamm, one of the original
workers in the Improvement campaign
and a prominent lawyer, has written
the following article for the Tele
graph on the municipal Improvement:
The City of Harrisburg is at the
end of a notable era in its history.
In fifteen years its people have ex
pended over $5,000,000 in extraordi
nary public improvements, in addition
to meeting all the expenses incident to
the administration of the City Gov
ernment. All this has been accom
plished with an increase in the tax
rate of two mills, or $2.00 per annum
on each SI,OOO of valuation. The city
has been taken out of the mud by the
paving of many miles of streets at an
expense of nearly $3,000,000. Seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollars or
more has been used directly in the In
terest of sanitation in the construc
tion of new sewers. Three nundreJ
and fifty thousand dollars has been ex
pended in the acquisition of parks and
playgrounds, in recognition of the fact
that , there is utility in beauty. Over
$300,000 has been expended to purify
the water. About $400,000 has been
expended in the construction of
bridges to make access from one por
tion of the city to another convenient
and safe; and so on. All of this money
has been voted by the people, directly
or through their accredited representa
tives, with cheerfulness and discrimi
nation, and all of the work has been
done without a suggestion so far as t (
know, of the improper use of a single
penny, and with scarcely a suggestion
of the improvident use of a single
penny. We have, Indeed, achieved a
marvelous thing, and we celebrate a
memorable occasion. What is the real
import of it all? It means much more
than that we have many more things
than we one time had, upon the pos
session of which we may felicitate our
selves. It menns hearty co-operation
it means intelligent discrimination, it
means mutual confidence, it means in
dividual sacrifice of time and money
for the common good, It means un«
common self-effacement; it points
strongly to the day when the motto
'Each for all and all for each" shall
find a dominant place In the conscious
ness of every one of our people. If I
am correct that these are some of the
higher meanings of these fifteen years
of accomplishment, it must follow that
I am also correct in ascribing a large
measure of personal and civic virtue
to the citizenship of Harrisburg, which
will eventuate In the years to come In
achievements by this people for their
best welfare and their highest happi
ness in every avenue of human en
deavor that wp, at this moment, with
our human limitations, can only faint
ly outline, but which re may most
confidently expect to be realized.

sale of medicine has been achieved by fr
Ml-o-na the standard dyspepsia rem
edy. and Its sale is Increasing so rapid
ly that many druggists have hard work
to keep a stock nn hand It Is very
popular with bankers, ministers, law
yers and otli'-rs whose business or pro
fession keeps th«>m closely confined,
while tho«e who have brought on Indi
gestion through irregular eating, wor
ry, or other causes, have found relief
in this reliable remedy.
Ml-o-na comes In tablet form and Is
sold In a metal box especially designed
for convenience In carrying the medi
cine In the pocket or purse It Is pleas- '
ant to take.glves quick relief and should
help anv case, no matter of how long
a standing. This remedy has been so
so uniformly successful that all drug
gists are authorized to sell Ml-o-na un
der a positive guarantee to refund the
money If It should not prove entirely
satisfactory. We doubt If any other dys
pepsia medicine ever had a large
enough percentage of cures so that It
could be sold In this manner. A guar
antee like this sneaks volumes for the
merit of the remdy.
There Is no time like the present to
do a thing that ought to be done. If
any one has dyspepsia, to-diy is the
best time to begin ciirlng" It by going
to H. C. Kennedy or anv leading drug
gist in this vicinity and buying a box ■
of Ml-Orna on this money back guaran
