and cared for by the City Forester,
and planted and well kept In spacious
grass plots which border every resi
dential street, and are also maintained
by the Park Department, thus making
our city equal In charm with so many
of the delightful old cities of New
England.
"The many years of campaign of
education for new housing laws will
have placed us a step nearer the ideal,
for it will have encouraged the single
house, Instead of blocks, and our resi
dential sections will be built up of
single dwellings, of which Bellevue
Park Is a splendid example, bounti
fully supplied with air and light, sur
rounded with grass and green foliage,
making a most pleasing picture long
the well-paved highways.
Bands In Capitol Park
"It Is in our Capitol Parks that we
have located our well-designed per
manent bandstand, from which arq
given free concerts by the city mu
nicipal band several evenings each
week during the open season, and with
concerts In the other city parks will
give our muslc-lovlng people the
pleasures and advantages the foreign
cities have enjoyed at municipal ex
pense for many years. Our State gov
ernment having outgrown the main
Capitol building will have grouped
about the park new buildings and In
conjunction with the city with its city
hall and high school will make this a
great State and civic center of a most
imposing character. The old State
street bridge will have been replaced
by a broad and light subway.
"Turning again, we view South Sec
ond street, another broad, bustling
highway, passing by the great local
freight station of the Pennsylvania
Railroad at Mulberry rtreet and
through the warehouse district to Pax
ton street, absolutely free from all
grade crossings, the main artery to
Steelton, via Paxton and Cameron
street, a route a half mile shorter
than now via Market and Cameron
streets.
Only a Dream?
"Is this picture that I have so
hastily and imperfectly drawn only a
dream of the future? Absolutely no!
It is simply a question of tinance and
administration. Look back over the
fifteen years Just passed. In 1903 our
assessed valuation was approximately
$26,000,000, with a borrowing limit of
$1,109,284, and a tax rate of 7 mills.
To-day our assessed valuation is $50,-
336,754, with a borrowing limit of
$1,543,537, and a tax rate of 9 mills.
At the end of another fifteen years at
the same rate of growth we will have
$100,000,000 of property and a borrow
ing limit of $7,000,000, less the exist
ing debt which is continuously being
reduced by sinking fund payments."
Absent Mr. Reynders
Puts Three Questions
Up to People of City
J. V. W. Reynders, vice-president of
the Pennsylvania Stee'. Company and
one of the tirst contributors to the
fund of $5,000 which sixty public
spirited citizens raised to obtain the
services of an improvement expert,
was on the program for a-talk on "The
Broad Aspect of the Harrisburg Im
provements."
Mr. Reynders was in New York city,
however, and was unable to get home
in time. He embodied his views, how
ever, in a letter to A. Carson Stamm,
chairman of the committee on speak
ers. Mr. Stamm read the letter.
Afler expressing his sincere regret
at his inability to get to Harrlsburg
in time. Mr. Reynders touched upon
the success of the improvement pro
gram begun fifteen years ago. "It is
possible now," he wrote, "to form a
mental picture, of the Harrlsburg of
the future—beautiful by the hand of
man as It. was Intended to be by na
ture; not growing sluggishly and with
indifferent purpose, but confident and
enthusiastic in conscious and well
merited civic; a city whose financial
resources have not been dissipated in
evanescent and aimless expenditures,
but frhose development has been guid
ed by forethought and careful judg
ment. Let us hope that our most
enthusiastic vision of the future may
be realized. There has been enough
accomplished in the past to fire the
enthusiasm of the future.
Tlie Mnttcr-of-Fact Attitude
"The danger," continued the writer.
' lies in the chance that the Harrls
burg of the past generation will pass
out of our minds and that we will
cease to appreciate the tremendous
changes that have been brought about
as the result, of policies that were
adopted fifteen years ago, and that in
consequence future efforts will be
paralyzed by a matter-of-fact attitude
of complacent mediocrity. Harrisburg
has wonderful possibilities, but it is a
mistake to assume that they are fully
developed.
"In considering these subsequent
plans It is well to be reminded that,
the method of procedure adopted in
the beginning will always continue to
be the safest guide for the future. The
'Harrisburg plan,' so called, tan be
simply expressed in the following
three questions:
"(1) What are all the permanent
Improvements the city needs or de
sires?
"(2) What amount of money can
the city afford to borrow or otherwise
raise?
"(3)Which of the desired improve
ments will the available funds buy in
whole or in part, leaving the remain
ing items to be considered at a later
period?
The Questions—And Answers
"The first question can be answered
by all better than any one of you,
each according to his individual tastes
or prejudices. The second question is
purely legal and financial. The third
question in the case of Harrisburg was
submitted to men of trained minds
and national reputation, who, coming
to Harrisburg as strangers, were able
to see possibilities which familiarity
caused most of us to overlook. The
idea is so simple that one even won
ders why it should be dignified by the
name of a 'plan.' It Is nothing more
than common sense, and yet few, If
any, communities had adopted the
method of procedure until its value
had been demonstrated In Harrisburg.
"The experience of the past," con
cluded Mr. Reynders, "ought surely to
be a conservative guide for the future
and our confidence will surely not be
lessened by the fact that our example
is being followed by so many other
•ind larger communities."

Citizen Only 78 Cents

IT PAYS TO BUY UPTOWN*4M I
a series of lantern slides by J. Horace I
McFarland. Mr. McFarland's talk i
was on "The Working Out of the Har
risburg Plan." Of especial interest
were the tables showing the actual I
cost to the citizen for all the hundreds!
of thousands Harrisbur# has spent in'
the last fifteen years for improve-1
ments. It cost on a pro rata basis
of seventy-eight cents per year or
s[>.o4 for the last thirteen years. Mr.
McFarland's address in part follows:
"No one can question the pure de
mocracy of the Harrisburg improve
ment movement. There were 209 con
tributors to the two funds which to
gether made up the sum of $10,221.55
used by Harrisburg to obtain the best
available expert for meeting the city's
needs and to put these plans before
the people.
Tlie Loans
The people were convinced that It
was bad municipal housekeeping to
drink unfiltered Susquehanna river
water; that Paxton creek was an un
sanitary and unwholesome menace;
that the River Front with its exposed
sewer outfalls was a disgrace; that
unpaved streets were an unfair tax
upon the business of the town; that
poorly designed public buildings were
unfortunate; that quick communica
tion by way of great bridges or via
ducts was worth while; that parks
and playgrounds, quickly accessible to
every citizen, carefully administered
for the benefit of all, were necessary."
And Now!
"Consider the municipal Apoilinarls
with which Harrisburg is now daily
served in unchecked abundance. Look
upon the change from the sewage
decorated banks of Paxton creek to
the clean, open channel of the same
stream. Notice how the inosquito
breeding flats and the sllme-covered
beach of the Susquehanna have been
wholly eliminated. Consider the dig
nified, beautiful and efficient Mulberry
street viaduct, taking the place of the
woven-wire structure which preceded
it. Look upon the school buildings
and other public and semlpublic
structures of to-day as compared with
those of twenty years ago. And most
of all, take Into account that from
having 46 acres of parks in 1902,
which was one acre of parks to every
1,200 inhabitants, Harrisburg has
come to have one acre of parks for
HEALTH INSURANCE
Some people are naturally thin.
There is also a natural pallor but most
people who are both thin and pale
are far from well and they need a
tonic until they get so sick that a tonic,
is not sufficient just because the de
mand of the debilitated body Is not
insistent enough. The pale face, weak
nerves, enfeebled digestion are neg
lected until the point where pain or
actual breakdown requires medical
treatment. A tonic, taken In time is
th£ best health Insurance. It sup
ports the overtaxed system, the wor
ried nerves until nature can make re
pairs.
Build up the blood and you are
sending renewed health and strength
to every part of the body. The appe
tite is Improved, the digestion is toned
up, there is new color In the cheeks
and lips; you worry less, become good
natured where before you were irrit
able and you find new joys in living.
Tonic treatment is useful in dys
pepsia, rheumatism, anemia and nerv
ous disorders. In many cases it is all
the medical treatment that Is re
quired.

every 76 of its fortunate citizens.'"
And the Cost
"Consider the change from two
poorly kept parks in 1902 to twenty
one parks, playgrounds and parkways
'n 1915, and note that the old parks
attracted barely tifty thousand visits
per year, while the parks of to-day
take care of nearer two millions per
year.
"Then consider the cost; that for
all this park improvement. Including
the purchase of land and its develop
ment, including also the annual main
tenance in the service of the people,
each inhabitant of Harrisburg is called
upon to pay but an average of 78
cents per year!
Increase in Millage
Public improvements have been
financed without scandal, without mis
appropriation of funds, and entirely
within the limits set by the people in
their votes. Indeed, Harrisburg has
much more than made good to its citi
zens, for a tax rate which it was pre
dicted might under the most favor
able conditions be increased in the
first five years of improvement work
as much as three mills, was Increased
within that time but one mil'."
Only $5.04 Pep Citizen
Indeed, adding the often-overlooked
| expenditure for paving, whiqh in
creases the total expended or author
ized to be expended in Harrisburg to
$4,795,209, it appears that the whole
cost for all the improvements we cele
brate, including the addition of sev
enty miles of first-class paving includ
ing water filtration, bridge-building,
the River Front improvement, the
sewer revision, the Paxton creek
change, the parks, and everything i
else, has cost each person in Harris
burg but $5.04 per year during thei
past thirteen years."
"So to-night Harrisburg hoists her
blue flag with its keystone before all
the western world, to call attention
to a city, purely and wholly demo
cratic, which has accomplished in a
dozen years magnificent works for the
benefit of its citizens, with complete
efficiency and completer success."
