ON "HARDSCRABBLE"
[Continued From First Page.]
the question as to whether the street
had not been opened years ago as tho
"Mlllerstown turnpike." Mr. Seltz de
clared the road had never been
opened.
Some of the property owners took
the stand that they were not fairly
dealt with in the method of distribu
tion of benefits and damages. City
officials pointed out that the same
condition exists in the Capitol Park
Extension condemnation proceedings
where the business of a property own
er could not be considered.
The Schedule
"Hardscrabble" benefits and dam
ages and method of distribution as ex
hibited by the viewers'" schedule to
day, are as follows:
Total damages al
lowed $107,105 00
Total benefits assess
ed 42,970 30
Total proportionate
share to be borne
by city 64,134 70
Total damages sus
tained 130,830 00
Total cost of boat
houses, landings,
wharves ami other
buildings erected
since 1871 for
which no damages
can be allowed .... 23,525 00
Damages allowed on thirty-one
properties on west side of Front
street from Herr to ('alder at
average of $77 per foot front. ,
Benefits assessed on twenty
seven properties on east side of
street from llerr to Calder at
average of $14.25 per foot front.
The Big Boat Pavilion
The decision of the viewers not to
allow damages for boathouses, etc.,
erected since 1871 is of peculiar in
terest to l.undreds of the city's boat
men and canoeists because the ruling
affects the A. P. Dintaman and Harry
J. Berrier boat pavilions. More than
500 canoes and other pleasure craft, it
is estimated, are housed there. By the
decision of the viewers these struc
tures will be condemned by the city
and removed without compensation
for the owners.
The viewers support their position
by the opinion of the Dauphin county
court several years ago in the John C.
Denny case. Denny, a South Camer
on street property owner, appealed
from a viewers' award* when some
property was affected by the opening
of Cameron street. The court over
ruled him under the provisions of the
act of 1871. This act provided for
the appointment of a commission to
open certain streets including Front
and Cameron streeta. On the subject
of compensation for damages the act
says:
The Law
That no compensation shall be
made or allowed to any person or
persons for houses or other build
ings erected or built by any per
son or persons on any of the ave
nues, streets, lanes and alleys
of said city from and after said
avenues, streets, lanes and alleys
shall have been designated by
said commissioners or a majority
of them. •
The exhibition of the "Hardscrab
ble" schedule to-day is another real
step forward in Harrlsburg"s big Im
provement program. For many years
the "Hardscrabble" question has been
fought out in councils.
The Gap In the Steps
Long before the present commission
I form of government was inaugurated,,
Ross A. Hlckok, member of the old
Common Council offered an ordinance
to pave tho way for the opening of
Front street and ultimate elimination
of "Hardscrabble."
Harrisburg has Just completed the
construction of a continuous line of

concrete steps and granolithic walk
throughout the three-mile length of
its water front. The "Hardscrabble"
section is the only unsightly Interrup
tion in the magnificent lino of the
"front steps of Harrisburg."
The Board of Viewers
Initial steps in the proceedings
which led to the presentation of the
schedule to-day, were taken by the
city less than a year ago when City
Solicitor D. S. Seitz was authorized to
ask the court to appoint viewers. A
board consisting of Attorney Paul G.
Smith, Karl Steward and James D.
Saltsman were named and directed to
report at September Quarter Sessions.
The board made thorough inspec
tions and investigations of the ground
in question, consulted experts, investi
gated sales of property in the neigh
borhood with a view to obtaining a
fair and equitable Idea of market
values and held Innumerable hear
ings when interested property own
ers and disinterested real estate ex
perts were examined under oath as to
their opinions of values. In order to
give everybody who might be inter
ested ample opportunity to be heard,
the board asked for an extension of
time in making its report to court and
was granted until January quarter ses
sions for the purpose.
The Home of Canoeists
The principal properties, of course,
which are affected by the 1871 ruling
are the Dlntaman and Berrier pavil
ions. Dintaman's boathouse at 1108
North Front for which he will re
ceive no compensation is valued at
$300; at No. 1112, a boathouse, valued
at $300; at Nos. 1120 to a
dwelling valued at $3,800 and a boat
house at $1,500; No. 1128, two frame
dwellings,at S3OO and a boathouse at
SIOO. He Is allowed damages as fol
lows: Nos. 1108, $2,380; 1112, $1,680;
1120 to
"Major" Be trier's Award
"Mayor" Berrier's improvements for
which he is allowed no compensation
include the boathouse ut Nos. 1204-06
valued at $2,000, and the ice cream pa
vilion at S3OO. Joseph Berrier's dwell
ing, No. 1210, is included in the ruling,
too; it is valued at $4,000. "Mayor"
Berrier is allowed $6,432 for his prop
erties, Nos. 1204-06, while Joseph Ber
rier is allowed $4,000 for the ground
value of No. 1210.
The damages are distributed among
the other properties as follows, the
name of the property owner, the house

awarded, and the value of the property
