TO SAVE HIS FACE
ROYAL VOTED FOR
LOWER
Bowman, Father of Ordi
nance, Declares Mayor
Agreed Only Under Protest
to Redaction From 9Vz to
9 Mills; City's Executive
Bitterly Opposed Giving
People Benefit of Reduc
tion; Finally Went Along
For Fear of Public Cen
sure
Mayor John K. Royal voted under
protest to reduce the city mill rate
from nine and a half to nine mills
only to "save his political face."
City Commissioner Harry F. Bow
man, Superintendent of Public Safety,
and the father of the nine mill tax
rate ordinance for 1915, made that
statement to-day in a vigorous reply
to the. Royal organ's declaration that
the Mayor was responsible for the re
duction of the 1915 tax rate.
Commissioner Bowman merely re
fers to the conferences that the en
tire Council had on the millage ques
tion before the ordinance was intro
duced, refers to Mr. Royal's bitter
opposition of the efforts of Messrs.
Taylor and Lynch to gi\ e the people
of the city the benefit of the reduc
tion. and of the city's chief executive's
reluctant affirmative vote on the tinal
passage of the measure.
The statement follows:
"When the question of reduc
ing the mill rate for the year 19l."»
was raised, 1 suggested at one of
our conferences to reduce the mill
rate front nine aiul one-lialf mills
to nine mills. The matter was
thoroughly discussed at executive
conferences, at which all mem*
l»crs of the Council were present.
Mr. Taylor and Mr. Lynch agreed,
at once, with me that this was
possible. Mr. (iorgas also finally
agreed that it could In- done,
while Mr. Royal bitterly opposed
the purpose and at all ot our
later conferences opposed llie
measure. I finally introduced the
ordinance on December tail.
"I'pon passage of this ordi
nance Mr. Hoyal spoke on the
floor of Council protesting against
passage, stating that next year
would tie forced to replace the
addition one-lialf mill. We all
took sides that even if this were
true, the taxpayers would be re
lieved at least for one year. Mr.
Royal voted with all of us to pa.«s
the ordinance for fear of public
censure.
"in other words. Mayor Royal
voted along with the rest ol' us
under protest, to save his political
face.
"I want to su> at this time, that
•n>self. a* well as the other three
couucilmen. Messrs. t-orga-,
Lynch and Taylor, know that (lie
city government for the year IHIO
can Ik- operated on the same mill
rate tliat it was run for the jear
IMI.Y .So too. I believe, does
Mayor Royal, only he will not ad
mit it until after November j.
"Our efforts will all be lent in
that direction."
In addition to inaugurating and
boosting the movement in Citv Council
that led to the lopping off of a half
mill rroin the city tax rate, Commis- .
sioner Bowman did a lot of other
things that will go down in Harris
burg s history of "things well done." !
Some "Things Well Done"
I'or instance, Mr. Bowman reduced
the minimum water rate from $6 to $5
anc. lowered the price of water meters
from SI 1.50 to 38.50. The water rate
to private dwellings was cut from 12 4
to 10 cents per 100 cubic feet, which
bl'rfiJu ,h . at ,' hc householder gets the
1 eneflt of _0 per cent, more water
under the present rate of *5 than he
got ror Sb. The rates for hotels and
manufacturers were reduced from
r!L Cent f to 9 cen,s P er 1 - 000 gallons,
ther important works of Commis-1
In ,he water ,lepart
ment included the installation of a new
f! SV u tem at ,he Pumping station
which a saving of 36 per cent in'
the use of coal la possible. The com. '
mlssioner also bought the pumping
■ tation coal for 57 cents per ton less
than in previous years. llow much I
hat amounts to in a year can be fig- !
urea out for one's self when it is
understood that some 5,000 tons are
purchased. By Inaugurating a bid ad- i
r Mr Bo "'"an saved
„T, i u Per cent ' on wa,er PiPe.
Just $1,444.08 was saved, inddentallv
in the cost of alum. All told $32,485 71
was saved in the operating expenses !
through careful and economical man
agement over the expenditures of the
previous year and the net profit of the
department for 1914 totaled $84,441.65!

triet by the placing: of sixteen-inch
«ater mains on Front street and on
Market to Cameron were among the
big improvements Commissioner Bow
man completed early in his adminis
tration. The job was completed, inci
dentally. in record time.
Excavations are under way for the
placing of the big valve just north of
street which will provide a
method of extending the city's two
ptincipal water mains— the supply and
the feed main between the pumping
station and the reservoir—under the
Paxton creek invert. The water was
shut off from the stream to-day at the
weir in Wildwood Park by City Com
missioner M. Harvey Taylor, super
intendent of parka.
tiorcas Voted—After a While
Sixty thousand of that surplus was
imested at 4 per cent, in city bonds,
by the way. by Finance Commissioner
v.orgas—after Mr. Bowman had sug
gested and repeatedly urged Mr. Gor
gas and hi? fellow-members of the
sinking fund commissioners. Mayor
Royal and City Treasurer O. M. Cope
lin. to save some money for the city
bv this plan. After six months of urg
ifig the—matter was a question of
finance over which Mr. Gorgas alone
has jurisdiction—the ordinance in
question was offered in Council.
The big constructive work completed
bv Mr. Bowman in connection with
the city front improvements was the
building of the splendid plaza in the
rear of the pumping station overlook
'n*.,he Susquehanna. He appropriated
$.'.500 for the purpose and the
eighteen-foot concrete curving espla
nade. prettily planted and lighted, is
the result. Thousands of people
crowded the broad space during the
recent water carnival.
Ornamental Street Lighting
Commissioner Bowman, incidentally,
was responsible for the lighting of
Second street from Market to State
with the new ornamental standards.
Incidentally, he placed cluster lights
at State and Third. Derry and Thir
teenth and Market and Thirteenth
streets and at Mac lay and Sixth streets.
And at that practically every im
provement that was suggested by Mr.
Bowman was flouted and opposed by
Mayor Royal and Commissioner Gor
eas. However, that was (he storv of
the constructive w ork that was accom
plished during their respective terms

[No Chance to Get Away From
Bandit Who Threatened
to Shoot
Halted at the point of a rifle in the
hands of a lone highwayman at a de
serted spot nlong the mountain road
> 1 par Dellville. Perry county, late Sat
urday night, Howard D. Hertzler, of
1401 North Sixth street, assistant
cashier at the Pennsylvania Railroad
freight station, and his chauffeur were
relieved of their cold watches, a small
sum of money and other valuables.
The automobile in which Hertzler!
was riding was rolling along rather j
cautiously on account of the uneven |
road at this place. As the car rounded |
a sharp curve the lights fell upon a ,
masked man standing in the center of
the road. As the car neared him the I
bandit leveled a rifle at the chauffeur's I
head.
"Shell out your money!" gruffly com-;
manded the robber as the chauffeur,
applied the brakes and brought the
car to a sudden stop, "and don't be
slow about it or I'll tickle this trigger,"
he added.
AVithout further urging Hertzler and
his chauffeur stood up in the car and
dropped their valuables into the high
wayman's hat. which he obligingly
tossed alongside the car.
"Come on! Don't try to put any
thing over," angrily snapped the ban
c'it as he poked his gun into the chauf
feur's ribs as that individual attempted '
tc sit down without emptying his hip
pocket.
The pocket was emptied.
Then, while still keeping the occu
pants of the car covered, the bandit
ordered the chauffeur to proceed on
his way.
"And don't at'empt to come back,''
warned the highwayman as the car
acain got under way. "If you do,
there'll be some shooting."
Mr. Hertzler was en route to the
Alpine Club house near Dellville when
the holdup occurred.
The bandit was a negro, he declared.
