TECH PREPARES FOR CRUCIAL CONTEST WITH YORK-CENTRAL PLAYS STEELTON
CENTRAL HIGH TO
PLAY AT STEELTON
Game Is on Thursday Schedule
Because of Debate on
Friday
In addition to the local, scholastic
contest to-morrow night Central High
will play Steelton High on the latter's
lloor. The pace set by Steelton five in
l he last three games Indicates that the
local tossers will not have an easy
thing. '
Steelton put a crimp in York's stride
by taking the game from the White
Roses one week ago. Central and
Reading are strong contenders for
pennant honors. A victory for
risburg 10-morrow will mean m,uch
and for this reason Central has been
working hard. A large delegation of
rooters from Central High will go to
Steelton with the team.
The game was scheduled for Friday
night, but the change was made be
cause of the debate to be held between
Central and Tech Friday night.

MANAGING THE CITY
By Frederic J. Haskin
[Continued from Editorial Pane.]
people maltes six million dollars. That i
is one half of the city's annual ex
penditures. The other half Is raised
by taxation of property and privileges J
in the District ot Columbia.
When the commission form of:
government was adopted in 187$ Con
gress had a long and animated row j
about who should pay the bill. They j
Anally decided to split it fifty-fifty |
between the people of Washington j
and the people of the United States. !
Under this arrangement, and as a re- j
suit of exclusive control by Congress, '
the present magnificent city has been
built, at a cost of more than two
hundred million dollars, exclusive of |
government buildings, all of which '
are paid for by the United States. |
Having footed one-half of this bill you j
are entftled to consider Washington
just as much your town as it is the
town of the folks that live here and j
who have paid no more for it than
you have. ' ,
While the "half and half," as it
was called, has produced a magnifi
cent city, it has been the cause of a
Quarrel between Congress and the 1
people of Washington in recent years.
Congress is asking, for instance, why
their constituents should be taxed for
one-half of the annual bill of the
people of Washington. And now the
people of Washington are asking why
they should be taxed for one-half of
the expense of things that are bought
because of the national character of
the city. This quarrel has just been
thoroughly threshed out before a Joint
committee of Congress, directed to in
vestigate the "half and half," and it
Is probable some new basis for the
partnership will be established.
The most interesting thing about
the city of Washington is that it 4s a J
good deal like the giraffe at the circus
which caused the old farmer, upon
seeing him for the first time, to say: !
"There ain't no such animal!" Of
course, you hear lots about Washing- j
ton, you talk a lot about Washington,
the newspapers print thousands of j
columns of news dated Washington.
If you address a letter to Washing
ton it gets there. Nevertheless, there
is no such city, except in the records
of the Post Office Department.
The city of Washington was form
ally and completely and legally
abolished by the Act of 187 8. In Its
place was created the District of
Columbia. There is not to-day one [
word or line on the statute books j

which recognizes the existence of
such a city as Washington.
For convenience of routine the
\arious offices and departments of
the District government are divided
by the three commissioners among
themselves, but practically all of the
business of the District is administer
ed by the three commissioners sitting
as a board. They each receive a
salary of $5,000 a year, are jointly
responsible for the activities of five
thousand officers and employes, and
for the expenditures of $12,000,000
annually. This makes it imperative
that they devote all of their time to
the city's business. They sit as a
board three forenoons a week and
transact business very much like a
board of directors of a great manu
facturing establishment.
Tech-Central Debate Plans
For Friday Are Complete
Arrangements have been perfected

League team was sold to Charles
Schram and William Donohue, both
prominent men of this city. The bid
