BIGGEST PROBLEM Realty Men Watching Develop ment of Plans For Market Street Change PLANS READY TUESDAY Council Will Likely Consider Tentative Figures; No Con sequential Damages While rumors of a possible new hotel or two stirred realty circles to some extent this weeK, interest center ed generally in the announcement by City Engineer M. B. Cowden that the plans and estimates for widening the Alarkct street subway will be ready Tuesday for City Council's approval. The preparation of the drawings followed the conference of the city planning commission and the officials of the Pennsylvania Kailroad. Just what share of the proposed improve ment must Vie borne by the traction company and other utilities and the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Company is questionable although it is certain that they, too, Tviil have to bear a certain portion of the ex pense. Tentative estimates fix the total cost to the city and the Pennsylvania at $160,500. Of course this doesn't in clude consequential damages. Of the total sum about $73,000 will represent the actual cost of changes in the sub way, lowering of grades and so on. This will likely be borne pretty largely by the city. The Pennsylvania com pany's share will run to something like $87,500. Of course the big item, realty men figure, will be the consequential dam ages. They have been variously esti mated at from $150,000 to $200,000 although it is Just possible that it will run away beyond that sum. The problem may be brought to a definite head at next Tuesday's session of Council as the drawings will probably be submitted to the commissioners at that time. Changes (In the Subway The present width of the subway is about, forty feet and this it is pro posed to widen to «ighty feet. In cidentally the "kinlt" in the south wall will be eliminated. The grade on the approaches will be reduced from five to five and a half per cent. Fifth street will slope into the Market street approach to th® subway from both north and south. The southern approach to Fifth street will extend clear back to the station sheds of the Pennsylvania: the northern approach will extend all the way to Strawberry street. The present method of reach ing the subway level will be changed for pedestrians so as to permit them to use a flight of steps off Cowden street. In addition to the Pennsylvania Railroad properties, at least fifteen properties on Market and perhaps ten on North Fifth street will be affected to some extent. Among these are several hotels. In cluding the Metropolitan annex—the old United States—the Plaza, the Aldlne, the Martin and the Lennox. In addition to the old United States hotel the Market street properties which will be affected will the Hummel, Hoffman, Eby, Keister, Cameron, Smith and Keffer, Tauslg, Flshman, Keller and Simonotti properties on the north side and the Plaza property, owned by Mrs. Mary Graupper, the Cohen, Martin, Aldinger, Martin and another Graupner hotel projierty on the south side. These properties of course extend all the way back to the Pennsy right of way. On North Fifth street, how ever, there are the Kelster property on the east side which has a depth from Market ninety-five feet on Fifth to a ten-foot alley; next in order are the Thomas, Katz, Bay, Leedy and Elscheid properties. On the west side of the street the Hoffman property has a depth of 107 feet to an 8-foot alley. Two of the Katz properties arc next and then In order are the houses and lots owned by Nagle, Yinger and Sneidman. December's Figures Boost Year's Permits to Million and Half December's unprecedented building activity has already boosted the value of the year's operations to nearly a million and a half dollars. Ordinarily figures do not mean a great deal until the data of previous months or years is considered in com parison. And It is the December issue of building permits for the Christmas month to date as against the December month for 1914 that shows the wide difference In the activities in building operations. During 1914 the total amount repre sented in permits issued was $1,269,- 500. To date for this year the build ing operations have amounted to the wonderful sum of $1,424,400. In December of last year the value of permits totaled $17,100; to date In December thus far the permits have aggregated $104,000. The big boost of course was the post office permit. The addition of the second and third stories meant an additional cost of ap proximately SIOO,OOO.

CLASTER GEMS—JEWELS—SILVERWARE 302 Market Street Open Evenings TAFT ASKS SUPPORT OF COMMMERCE CHAMBER [Continued From First Page.] an effort to mould punlic opinion both in this country and abroad, in favor of a league of the great powers, who shall agree not to go to war in any case, until the question has been pass ed upon Judicially, the nations agree ing also to use their joint military and economic forces against any na tion refusing to keep the pact. Mr. Taft refers particularly to the referendum of the Chamber of Com merce of the United States of America on the report of that body's special committee on "Economic Results of tiie War and American Business." Tliis referendum will come up shortly for consideration on the part of the businessmen here who are members of the Harrisburg Chamber of Com merce. Mr. Taft's Letter Mr. Taft's request is made at this time, it was explained yesterday, in view of the fact that the referendum in question outlines a plan for world peace, almost Identical with that con tained in the proposals of the League to Enforce Peace, which was organ ized by Mr. Taft, President A. Law rence Lowell, of Harvard University, and other men of nation-wide promi nence at Philadelphia in Independence Hall, last June. Mr. Taft who is president of the league, writes as fol lows: The friendly reference made to the platform of the League to Enforce Peace on page four of Referendum No. 11 of the Cham ber of Commerce of the United States of America seems to the officers of the league to create a natural occasion for calling it to your personal attention, and to that of your members. At the same time I want to ex tend a very cordial invitation to you, and through you to the members of your organization, to join the league and to co-oper ate with it as actively as you are able in the organization that is about to be undertaken in your State. The Irremediable injury that would result to the whole world in case a way should not be found at the close of the European con flict, to make war less threatening and to render it less frequent, has induced a considerable number of leaders in the. realms both of statesmanship and of business to combine in an effort to create sentiment in our own and other countries, in favor of the pro posals that were put forward at the Philadelphia conference. The obvious and urgent need that led the committee of the chamber to draw up Its admirable report, and the Board of Direc tors to authorize its submission, is an eloquent argument in favor of a comhlfted effort to do all which human ingenuity and de votion can, to prevent the re currence of such a catastrophe as the world is now experiencing. Proposals to Enforce Peace The proposals of the League to En force Peace, referred to in Mr. Taft's communication, which were adopted at the Independence Hall meeting of international law through a series of international conferences contain no provision for enforcing the verdict of the arbitrators. Under the proposed plan any nation that is dissatisfied with the decree may go to war with out fear of adverse action on the part of the league. It is understood that the referendum of the Chamber of Commerce was sub mitted as the result of the active In terest of Herbert 8. Houston, well- I known as a leader among advertising I men, and Edward A. Filene, head of | the Filene stores In Boston, Mas*. Both of these men are charter mem bers of the League to Enforce Peace. Mr. Houston is a vice-president of Poubleday Page ft Company, publish ers of "The World's Work," ami is the president of the Associated Advertis ing Clubs of the World. Mr. Filene is the chairman of the committee whose recommendations form the basis of the referendum in question. These recommendations are: That the United States Take the inltiath'e 1. In bringing about a confer ence among neutral nations to define and enunciate rules to give protection at all times, to life and t property upon the high seas. 2. In joining with other nations in the establishment of an inter national court, to puss upon inter national disputes, where the ques tions can be settled according to legal or equitable principles. 3. In joining with the other nations in a council of concil iation for the settlement of ques tions that cannot be settled by an international court. 4. In joining with other na tions. in an agreement to bring concerted economic pressure to bear upon any nation resorting to military measures without first submitting its differences to a court or council of conciliation.
