City after city ! has given over absolutely the horse- ; driven vehicles as means of trans portation and for public service utilities, such as the fire-engines and trucks for the use of work which comes directly under the supervision of the city managers, and relies wholly upon the automobile, which gives better, more reliable, and swifter service, albeit somewhat, more | expensive; the expense, however, be- J ing more than taken care of in the | | increased efficiency and facilitis. Harrisburg is getting into line in this as in every other move for civic j improvement, and the best witness to ' this spirit is the SBO,OOO loan wich the voters of this city passed last Fall, j appropriating that amount for the use of the city commissioners in building I j up and bettering the city's fire de- I j partment and» in motorizing that de- [ partment. I/yiich St roil s: For Truck Wm. H. Lynch, superintendent of streets and public improvements pays a tribute to the principle of motor facilities in city government by tell- : Ing of the service which he has re-I ceived from one truck which has been j | etsted and found to meet the needs I | o fth case. He snys: "In reference to the service I have ' received from the two-ton truck that I I have had In active operation since 1 i May 11. 1915, I want to say that ij have accomplished work through the i use of this truck beyond my expecta- : i tions. "On the 11th day of May, 1915, a Reo two-ton truck was put in active service and since that time has | traveled between C,BOO and 7,000 | i miles. While it was purchased for a trlctiy asphalt truck to help street re- i pairing, it has been used for every conceivable kind of work that a de partment such as mine, finds neces sary to do. Dirt of all kinds, street I sweepings, cinders, ashes, the draying of heavy material necessary for our department, hauling of hose for flush ing sewers, work on the asphalt plant , and in fact, almost everything, we | I have hauled in it. The efficient re ! pairs we weer able to make on the | streets after we got our asphalt plant 1 working was assisted materially by the fact that we had this truck to help us In this work. Since the day it went into service. May 11th, it has been held up for re pairs only once, and then only for a (lay and a half. The cost of oper ating the truck was less than had we , I hired double teams to do the same amount of work. "I can only say that this two-ton | auto truck of burs has given us such beneficial results that Council, on my recommendation, has provided for the purchase of another." ' j ! Mock, E. n. Port, W.
