women of the present according to
Dr. Ward Pierson, of the University

WIDER SUBWAY IS !
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.
MONDAY
All the standing committee of the
new Harrisburg Real Estate Board
will be announced by President Her
man P. Miller, it is believed,, at the
meeting of the board on Monday eve
ning in the grand jury room of the
courthouse. The grand jury room
was selected because of the greater
accommodations offered. The consti
tution and by-laws will be finally ap
proved at the same time.
Academy Alumni to
Hold Banquet Dec. 21
The reunion smoker for the getting
together of alumni and undergraduates
of the Harrisburg Academy will be held

tive year on Monday, December 27, in

smokes and special features will

Academy s guests, and a committee 011
arrangements will shortly be provided
to make out a program for the evening
Headmaster Arthur E. Brown an
nounces that If any one knows the
name and address of an old Aeademv
man who has inadvertently been left
ofr the list of those invited, that ho
would appreciate their calling his at
tention to the omission. It Is planned
to make the event this year of far
larger proportions than ever before,
and fully are expected to attend.
S. s. Rutherford will cater. Keep this
dute open, is the urgent wish of the
committee.

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.
