Controller Gough Prepares In
teresting Statement For
Court's Perusal
Dauphin county began the present
year with $134,143.07 in Its pocket
according to the annual report of
Henry W. Gough, county controller.
He finished his report to-day for pre
sentation to court.
The balance compares favorably
with that of a year ago despite the
fact that nearly $30,000 more was paid
out during the last twelvemonth than
during the previous year. The bal
ance last year was $137,456.35, a little
more than $3,000 above the present
'
year's balance.
. I Among the other things the county
■ J spent $9,000 on the completion of a
i new road in South Hanover township,
i I $5,045 on the Middletown bridge,
ij $2,702 on the Millersburg bridge, anil
j $18,870.07 in back fees for constables.
: ; The latter item was ordered by the
1 : court, following a test ease. The
~ bridge and road money however, was
i j expended from funds that had I icon
• | reserved for the purpose the previous
■ year so that this outlay was not
: charged against 1915's actual cs-
I ; penditures.
>| The total receipts Including the
s, balance from the previous year
: | amounted to $508,480.90. This in-
II eluded receipts from Sundry Items

i I such an item has not appeared in tha
1 i county's records.
' The tax lists were in better shape
too, at the end of 1915 than a year
- previously. The outstanding taxes for
1 1915 totaled $17,117.62: for 1914 they
- were $23,894.29.

; HARRJSBURGTS
] CLEANEST CITY
[Continued From First Page.]
Mr. Bendien's. Mr. Bendien made
other remarks expressing his pleasant
! surprise at finding an American city
that had gone to as much trouble as
'any Old World city in order to make
. iit a healthy and Inspiring place in
" which to live.
Praises City's I.lvewires
Mr. Bendien was also shown the
" Capitol building and he left Harris
' burg expressing his pleasure and
, satisfaction with his visit to local
t exporting and importing Interests.
It was Mr. Bendien's opinion that
Harrisburg's foreign trading firms
" were in the charge of llvewires in
. dividuals who could be depended upon
B to advance the clfcy's foreign trade
t Interests as far as possible.
Mr. Bendien's work is one largely
of patriotism because he is a man of
• affairs in Holland and is making the
«. trip on his own time, with the co
operation of the city of Amsterdam,
the Government of Holland and tiie
■ Holland-American Steamship line.
It was the opinion of Mr. Bendir-n
i that the present congestion of freight
\ at New York City compelling the rail-
I roads to issue embargos was largely
I due to the fact that the export busi
[ ness of this country was bandied in
E New York City by too many small
F commission house«, agents and brok-
E ers who held up consignments to
t speculate on them and who lacked
[ the size and strength to handle the
| business quickly and efficiently. In
j his opinion the Harrisburg authorities
» on foreign trade agree with Mr. Den
f dlen.
[ Mr. Bendien said that If a manu
: faeturer took a product of any kin«t
[ to Hamburg, Amsterdam or London
j foreign trading houses and asked it
[ there was an export demand for it.
| the firm immediately expressed their
| interest and made sympathetic investi
[ gation to see if a market could be
E made for It. When an Amerlcun
[ manufacturer takes his product to
[ many of the small American export -
I ing houses and asks them if they can
t handle it, they too often turn a deaf
[ ear unless there Is a consistent sp^
E cash demand for It from foreign
| countries.
