As the discussion proceeds the treat- , ment of tlie Capitol Park extension district with respect to the railroad crossing grows more interesting. Many suggestions have been submitted and a study of the problem will probably bring forth many more before a final conclusion shall have been reached. Herewith is an etching showing the idea of a local engineer who is well known and who has done much prac tical work in the city's development. Clinton M. Hershey, who has been the engineer of Dauphin county for tlio last, five years, submits this scheme of treatment, and as he has made plans for many very commendable struc tures. some at Millerstown and Lykenn and the Nineteenth street bridge over the railroad tracks, now nearing com pletion. the sketch herewith will have more than usual attention. The bridge which he has planned 1 for Nineteenth street represents a now form of construction in the shapo of a ' bowstring arch, said to b6 an entirely ! new idea in concrete designing. It has merited the approval of the engineer ing profession to such an extent that ! the idea has been used in several new j bridges now in contemplation. Twin Bridge Mr. Hershey's plan contemplates a twin bridge at State street with one approach on Walnut street and the other on North, merging Into State street east of the Pennsylvania Rail road t racks.

OUTCAST THE VITA I, GRIPPING PI, AY By HUBERT HENRY WAVIES THE LONDON COMPANY - HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH will riot mar in any way the beauty of the extended Capitol Park and will not involve heavy expense in consequential damages. He said to-day: "You will notice by an examination of this plan that the freight sidings at North street, will be hidden from view looking eastward from the Capitol and also the objectionable features, if any. of the plant of the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending Company, as well as the coal storage yards of the llarris burg' 1 .inlit and Power Company, east of the railroad. Gives C lear View "You will also further notice that there will be no obstruction to the I view of passengers on the railroad : trains passing through the city. They i will have an unobstructed vista of the j entire Capitol Park district and the ; setting of the Capitol will be dignified | throughout. The extreme height of the proposed bridge or bridges will be only thirty feet where it crosses the tracks and eastward of the railroad line, and the approaches on State street will drop by an easy grade and at the same time shut out all objectionable landscape features toward the east. There will be no obstruction of the view of the Capitol buildings from the Hill section of the city; in fact, tlio outlook from East State street ap proaching the railroad will be im proved.

Ample Traffic Accommodations "It will not be necessary to have any thoroughfare or streets through the park other than the present high way on Fourth street. All traffic southward would pass up the North street approach and cross over to i Walnut street; all traffic northward I would pass out Walnut street and de scend on the Xorth street wing of the bridge. This would provide ample I traffic accommodations and at the {same time preserve the beauty of the i park. | "A glance at the plan shows that i there is no interference with the pres | ent street car lines on State street east |of the railroad. Artistic light stand- I ards and handsome balustrades would I be features of the treatment of the I bridge. This is simply a rough sketch of what 1 have in mind and a casual I glance will show how admirably such i a plan could be developed. It would solve difficulties which are now under consideration and protect the park ex | tension. You will note that the en trances to the Pennsylvania Railroad station provide for a passenger plaza on Walnut street and an arrangement I for express, mall and other vehicles from Market street." It is a sort of wish-bone structure and Mr. Hershey believes it is practical and solves many difficulties. WILLIAM STROUSE BUYS JERAULD'S (Continued from Page One.) 'W*. ~ W WILLIAM STROUSE building and a handsome new front will be put in. Mr. Strouse will run the storeroom back entirely to Straw berry street, taking in the room now occupied by the City Shoo Repairing Company. Mr. Strouse will fit the new store out with the most complete and up-to-date clothing store fixtures to be had. With reference to the enterprise, Mr. Strouse said to-day: "I signed the lease for the Jerauld building ex- DECEMBER r : „ 1015. OneW ordMore <1 There are to-day two public carriers in Har risburg—this company and the jitney. <1 Both are engaged in identically the same busi ness—the transportation of the general public to various points in the city for a 5c fare. CJ Upon this company's business you impose strict regulations—upon the jitneys, none. <1 Suppose there were no street cars. Would you think for a moment of letting the jitneys run without adequate and reasonable regulations? <1 Council now has before it an ordinance provid ing for reasonable regulation of the jitney. <1 That ordinance requires that the jitney pay a license fee of SSO per year, to cover mercantile tax, license tax, gross revenue tax, and to help pay for the destruction of your streets, which it is using for money-making purposes. <1 That fee amounts to less than a one and one half per cent, tax on receipts of $lO per day. Little enough, don't you think? This company pays a tax of 3% on its receipts, paves its track area and renews same when worn out, without cost to you. <]} You believe in an impartial application of taxation, don't you? <1 The ordinance provides for a bond of $5,000 from each jitney as protection for YOU and YOURS, so that in the event of accident, you may have something tangible upon which to re cover for damages. <J True, such bonds cannot be had for a song. But that's only on account of the risk. The more hazardous the risk—the higher the cost of the bond. And because the cost is high, is all the more reason why you ought to be protected—it signifies that the RISK IS HAZARDOUS—so hazardous, in fact, that it is claimed that some in surance companies will not bond the average jitney owner at all. Then, too, the ordinance provides for interior lighting, identification cards and badges, drivers' license, etc., all for YOUR protection. Cfl Adequate and reasonable regulation is all it provides for. <1 Just apply it to this company. <jj Should we be permitted to run our cars with out paying anything for the use of the city's streets? Without lights after dark? Without financial responsibility for injury due to our negligence? Without signs on the cars telling their destination? Without schedules—to run anywhere, as we pleased, or not at all, if we pleased, to stand anywhere as long as we pleased; to refuse to carry you, if we pleased? <1 The jitney's business is identical with ours. Should it be regulated or unregulated? <S Is the ordinance before council just and rea sonable? <1 It's squarely up to you—Act. Harrisburg Railways Co. actly one year to the hour from the time T signed the papers selling my interests in the Olobe Clothing House. The new business will he run along the same linos as have been associated with mv name in the past. When my son, Josef H., completes his course at the University of Pennsylvania, where he Is n student of business and finance in the Wharton School, he will be associated in the business with me. I have been delighted with the ready response of my friends to the an nouncement that 1 am going back into business. I have had a year of de lightful rest, but the call to work has been too strong for a man of my lifelong activities and I am happier to-day with the prospects of busy years ahead of me than I have been since I retired from the business with which my name was associated for so many years. T have already placed large orders for men's, women's and children's clothing, hats and furnish ings and will be ready I'or the Spring trade." Mr. Strouse is one of the beat known businessmen In Central Penn sylvania. He went into business first in North Third street but his rapidly growing trade took him to Market street where until a year ago he was in partnership with his brother, Ben. Strouse, in the ownership and manage ment of the Olobe Clothing House. At all times he has taken an active inter est in everything pertaining to the welfare of the city and is a prominent member in the ilarrisburg Chamber of Commerce. He was connected with the development of the Boy Scout movement in this city and has a wide circle of friends in all walks of life who were busy extending their con gratulations and well wishes to-day.
