16 DEALINGS LIGHT 1 FOR END OF WEEK Marked Recovery in French Exchange Among Events of | Day; Closing Firm By Associated Press New York, April 15. To-day's shore session alternated between periods of steadiness and heaviness. Caution seemed to be the underlying characteristic traders, apparently pre ferring; to await a more definite turn ill the country's external relations. Dealings were extremely light and narrow even for .a week-end, and com prised the usual favorites, such as Mexicans, Crucible Steel, Mercantile Marine pfd., and equipment issues. U. S. Steel was under moderate, but steady restraint. Market recovery in French exchange was among the few events of the day. The closing was firm. Bonds were irregular, heaviness of Anglo-French ss, of which one block of $750,000 changed hands at I 9">. contributing to that tone. NEW YORK STOCKS Chandler Bros. & Co.. members New .

BEAUTIFUL SECTION ON HILL DEVE Walking from State street to BOM street in Seventeenth and Eighteenth, one who is a lover of beauty In resi dential districts, finds much to admire. For in the heart of that section there has been planned out "a section which is particularly pleasing. One cannot exactly call it extravagantly beautiful, for rather is the predominant theme one of simplicity, based along the lines of conservation of the natural beauty of the section. Into this sec tion came a builder, George A. Shrelner, who set about his operations with an artistic mind, with definite thoughts carefully planned, with an ultimate end in view. Mr. Shrelner has been building homes with reasonable restric tions. Each home is set in its own grass plot, it must be a certain number of feet from the sidewalk, and the side walks must be laid. These are the more important restrictions. But the real beauty of the section does not lie in these smaller details, rather in those things which have been incorporated into every home which has been built, looking rather to the future than to the present. Landscaping has come in for a very large portion of attention. Provision has been made so that shrubbery may be planted, window and porch boxes be placed; in fact, that this community may be & garden spot of beauty and comfort. U. S.

In Memoriam IN sad but loving remembrance or our dear husband and father, James M. Chapman, who fell asleep in Jesus one year ago to-day, April 16, 1916, 1 REAL ESTATE APRIL RECORD iT $236,770 TO DATE First Fortnight Only S4O,(HX) Behind Entire First Quar ter of 1916 Building expenditures for the first | two weeks of April totaled only S4O,- i. 000 less than the whole first quarter! of the year. To date the permits issued April 1 amount to $236,770, while the com-1 bined outlay in January, February■, and Mat ch totaled $270.553. The rec-j onl April building record in the his-; lory of the city department of build- j ing inspection was reached in 1914 when $292,175 was expended. That j' this figure will be topped by April, 1916, however, is the belief of realty' men and contractors, as some more! unusually big permits are expected j during the next two weeks of this" month. April. 1916, building expenditures! more than doubled the estimates of 1 last April when only $95,375, was ex-! pended; in 1914, the record month oc- , curred with $292,175; in 1913, $185,- $25, and In 1912, $58,240. In com parison with the previous three months of this year April's unusual record takes first nlace. In January the out lay was $56,5T5, In February $31,460, and in March $158,818. During the past week alone nearly $125,000 worth of permits were is- ' sued. The week began well with a j $75,000 boost on Monday when per-1 mission 10 build a couple of dwellings! costing $5,000 and the permit to con-J struct Messiah Lutheran Church an-1 nex at $70,000 were granted. Inci dentally this week had a splendid end- ! ing; yesterday permits totaling $46,-1 000 were issued. H. A. Hippie, one of] the city's leading contractors, landed j all the jobs. One of these permits called for the! construction of eight modern two-and- I a-lialf-story brick dwellings at Eigh- j leenth and North streets, and was is sued to Prison Warden William A. Mc- j Ilhenn.v. These will cost $24,000. The I other bl boost was added by Dr. C. C. | ICocklin who will build something! unique In the way of garages for Har-j risburg by spending $20,000 for a two-! j story structure on South Cameron street about 500 feet south of Market.; i'fhis will have a frontage of 100 feet! land a depth of 117 feet. 1 The tirst week gave the initial boost l 1 when W. E. Orth started on his new; laundry on North Sixth street at a' jcost of $50,000. Where the Town and Country Meet BELLEVUE PARK A professional man who is a resident of this beautiful home section says: "There are so many good things that can be said of Bellevue Park that one hardly knows where to begin. Among the many things is the absolute quiet and restfulness which is most certainly appreciated after a busy day in the office or shop; and still one is in immediate touch with the business and other activities of ihc City. That idea brings with it this, that although right on the street car lines, one is far enough away to be free from their noise and dirt. $20,000 IN REALTY DEALS CHANGED HANDS DURING DAY More than $20,000 changed hands in the realty deals that were recently closed according to the deeds, etc.. filed to-day with Recorder James E.
