the liver and stomach most beneficially.

CITY READY TO
! BEGIN WORK ON
SPRING PROGRAM
Parkway Drive Should Be

Weather Permitting
CONSIDER SUBWAY PLANS
i
P. and R. Engineers Busy; New
Wildwood Lake Road;
Other Improvements
Within the next six weeks, weather j
permitting, Harrisburg's parkway from !
the present terminus of the Cameron I
Drive '.o Reservoir Park will be coni
;! pleted.
And before the last steam shovelful!
of earth is turned on that big job the |
park department expects to be ready i
to advertise for bids for the one other ;
important improvement of this year's
outdoor program—the construction of
the subway through the right of way
of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
way near Paxtang. Plans for a thirty
foot roadway 800 feet west of Pax
tang crossing are now lu the hands of
the company's engineers.
Improvements have been planned by
the City Commissioners XV. H. Lynch
and H. F. Bowman, superintendents,
respectively, of the departments of
streets and of public safety, but they,
like Park Commissioner E. Z. Gross,
are only anxiously waiting for the
weather to hand Harrisburg some of
his continuous Spring product for
awhile in order to go ahead.
New Wildwood Lake Road
In addition to the completion of the
parkway and the construction of the
Philadelphia and Reading subway,
, probably the only other big job on tlie
j park program is the construction of
•i thirty-foot roadway along the shore
I of Wildwood Lake from Fox's run to
; the Linglestown road.
Fox's run is the tiny stream that
Mows into the lake just south of the
last steep hill in Wildwood. Teams.
' autos and pedestrians find it a stiff
climb, although the latter can use a
winding path along the lake shore if
they prefer. This path brings up at
I the boathouse.
The department's plan now is to use
| stones and earth fill for the foundation
of the proposed roadway, which would
wind along the base of the bluff, a
distance of some 1,300 feet. Whether
| or not this can be accomplished this
1 year, however, is questionable in view
' of the shortage of funds, but it is cer
tain that if the Improvement be im
; | possible this summer, provision for
it will be asked for next year.
Culvert On Bluff
As soon as the weather permits the
i concrete culvert over the deep ravine
around the first turn in the lake bluff
road will be started and earth fill for
the purpose will be cut from the curve
just west of the gully. This, inci
dentally. will ease the sharp turn at
; that point.

President Stanim, as head of the <

Organize Thursday
The high school committee will meet
Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock to
organize and prepare for the big Job
ahead of It with the Intention of so
shaping matters as to present the
question of a loan before the people of
Harrisburg at the Xovember election.
The recommendations will be em
bodied in a report to the board of con
trol.
"By the terms of the resolution un
der which the committee is appointed,"
said President Stamm to-day, "the
body is authorized to call upon any
citizens for assistance in gathering
data on the subject.
"We will meet Thursday afternoon
at 4 for organization, at which time
ihe program will be discussed. In my
opinion, we should meet at least
weekly, with the view of preparing the
question for presentation to the people
at llie November election.
"The problem of site, cost and
equipment will be matters for the com
mittee's consideration. L'nder these
beads, of course, will come the sub
jects of size, segregation of the sexes,
the expense, and the junior high
school."
walks—these are a few of the other
problems that will require the de
partment's attention.
Some Paving, Too
Lack of intersection money will limit -
considerably ihe paving program this
year, although Commissioner Lynch
has arranged to do a certain amount.
Bids for Ihe closing of the gap in
Xorth Second street from Seneca to
Emerald and Reel street from Seneca
to Schuylkill will be opened April 4.
Half a dozen more streets in Bellevue
Park also will be paved. Commis
sioner Lynch plans to open the new
municipal asphalt repair plant shortly,
as a lot of repairing must be done
this summer.
Whether or not the big Asylum run
sewer can be constructed this year is
questionable. Commissioner Lynch will
complete the river dam by placing the
top tier of concrete slabs on the bt-easi
as soon as weather permits. The gap
in the Paxlon creek improvement just
north of State street, left open for the
lowering of the two big city water
mains, is another job on Mr. Lynch's
program.
The Creek Job and tlie Fountains
The lowering of the water mains, by
the way, was one of the biggest Im
provements of its kind ever attempted
by the water department. Commis
sioner Bowman feared that the mains
would be exposed too seriously if they
were allowed to cross the creek bed. in
their original position. The installation
of the 11-ton valve and the changing
of the two great pipes that supply
the whole city with water was all ac
complished without inconveniencing
for a single hour any of the thousands
of people of Harrisburg.
The beauties of the pumping sta
tion plaza, completed last year by Mr.
Bowman, will be more thoroughly ap
preciated this year by river front
promenaders. It will be made doubly
attractive, too. during the summer by
the addition of a water fountain which
is to be donated by Miss Pannie Eby.
The Donato fountain, the famous
bronze group representing "The Dance
of Eternal Spring," which M. S. Her
shey presented to Harrisburg after he
lost his $25,000 suit to Sculptor Do
nato will probably be set up in the
park at the end of Ixjcust street this
summer. Money, it is presumed, will
be provided by the water department,
as Commissioner Bowman expressed
his intention to supply the funds be
fore the question of a site was defi
nitely settled.
