Fully 2.000 pupils of the borough schools held exercises in the morning in their rooms, and the r. turned out to plant 150 trees in the I.uther ft. Kelker park. • The trees were given by gencrou3 citizens and the Municipal League members. Each building and each school room planted one tree. In the upper picture is a group of High School students viewing the building tree which has just been planted. Charles S. Davis, principal of the school, is at the extreme right. He spent many hours in arranging for the observance of Arbor Day which was carried out so successfully. The lower group is one of the Central Grammar school pupils around their tree. MUST INCREASE SCHOOL MILLAGE Improvements and Additional Courses Necessitate Addi tional Taxation Members of tlie Steelton. school board arc considering the advisability of increasing the school tax rate sev eral mills to cover additional expendi tures which must be made within the coming year If the present high stand ard of the schools is to be maintained. During the present summer exten sive repairs will be made to the High and Felton grammar school buildings and both will be repainted. The ex pense of this work will be heavy be cause no painting has been done on the exterior of the High school in the fourteen years since its erection. In addition to this the board plans to complete the addition of new courses in the schools as outlined sometime ago by Superintendent E. McGinnes. These include courses in domestic science for girls and -manual training for boys. The latter course has al ready been started, but the purchase of additional equipment Is necessary be fore the installation of the new studies will be complete. Muring the term now drawing to a close the board was forced to care for many pupils who formerly attended parochial schools and this unexpected expense was a heavy drain upon the hoard. For these reasons it will likely be necessary to add two three mills to the present rate. While this would seem to be a large increase it is pointed out in municipal circles that Steelton's valuation of less than $6,000,000 ridiculously low. Ex perts declare that 110,000,000 would be a fair assessment. If assessments were readjusted more equitably the tax rate might be lowered. No read justment, however, can be made until the end of the present triennial as sessment three years from now. Steelton Snapshots I.

HIGHSPIRE PLANS STREET LIGHTING President Hoffmeister Dis cusses Measure to Adopt Electricity flighspire last evening took the first official step toward lighting its streets with electricity when Council adopted |on first reading the ordinance grant ing the Harrisburg Light and Power Company a five-year contract. The Harrisburg Company which lights the streets of Harrisburg, Steelton, Pax tang. Penlirook, Dauphin and other nearby towns, offered to install 60 and 100-candle power lamps at a cost of K'2 and $24 respectively. The measure was passed on first reading after considerable discussion i l>y a vote of lour to three, President | I. 1.. Hoffmeister and Messrs. Wise, J Oumbler and Brown voting for it i and Messrs. Reem, Baker and Shelley lin opposition. Mr. Reem led the op i position and President Hoffmeister ! advocated the passage of the ordi j nance. Many of the borough's resi j rionts were present. The measure will : be considered finally at a meeting one month hence. Municipal ownership was urged by Councilman Reem. lie quoted certain towns which have plants of their 'own and suggested that Highspire could install a plant by damming the cicek outside of the borough. Municipal Ownership In discussing the question President Hoffmeister explained that Highspire was about ready to solve a problem | that has been agitated for ten years. I "No effort was made to hurry this measure," said he. "An ordinance in- Ituoduced by Cumbler was to have been acted upon last Tuesday but because of a quarantine for measles. Mr. Reem, one of the members of the o-dinance committee couldn't attend. V e "/anted everybody on hand so the ordinance was laid over until this eve ming. In urging municipal ownership i its advocates speak only of the towns ' wlii"h are lighted by municipal own iership, such as Goldsborough, Royal i 'on, etc. They do not mention such | places as Paxtang, Camp Hill and ] similar towns where the power is j bought. Public Liability "Then, too," went on Mr. Hoff meister, "the one big item is lost siglii of. This Is the question of public liability. Tf the borough takes lover the plant, and one of its citizens is killed or injured by a falling wire , the borough may be sued for such a I sum as would wipe out all the profits, } apparent or Imaginary, that may be earned for ten years. Whereas by purchasing light from the Harrisburg j company, all the risks of this descrip tion are asumed by the company." "Now as to the statement that an effort was made to keep this from the public," concluded President Hoff meister. "Council meets at stated | times anil the public is fully informed as to these times. The meetings are always open to the public: this ques tion has been before it for ten years. Anyont interested could have appear ; cd: all have the right of speech. To ' my mind the majority of the holders 1 of property in Highspire are for this j measure." STKKT/TON CHI'KCHKK First Presbyterian The Rev.

Gill System of monthly saving, with an interest rate which has never been less than 6.64 per. cent. Inquiries quickly poured in and we have yet to find one person who is not well pleased with the system, and our sales have been far in excess of our liberal expectations. CfOur proposition is to sell 5 shares in Harrisburg's oldest building and loan association, which, in 12 years will amount to SI,OOO. Wc have arranged to insure payment of this amount with interest to your beneficiary, whether or not you live to pay one or all monthly deposits.
