C ity Council. No time Is to be lost. Harrisburg people and thousands of appreciative visit brs have learned to regard the Susquehanna Basin and the One treatment of the River Front as the city's most famous asset. It is talked about wherever natural charm makes an appeal. Thousands of our people crowded the parks along the river yesterday and these expressed universal regret that so much damage had followed the unusual Hood at this season. With one voice those wno discussed the sit uation favored immediate action to complete the permanent protection of the slope a reasonable distance above the granolithic walk in accordance with the plan outlined by Farl®.v Gan nett. the consulting engineer, who has generously volunteered the services of his Arm at this critical jupeture. City Council should take de'finite action in this emergency so that no time shall be lost, in doing what is necessary in the way of riprapping the lower sections of the slope, grading the upper walk anil planting hardy shrubbery so that the high water here after may do little damage. Meanwhile City Commissioner Gross will have the sympathy of the public in running down and making examples of the malicious bojs who still imagine the big frosted globe:; on the standards along the "front steps' arc proper tar gets for their destructive energies. It was bad enough yesterday to see drift wood lodge against the standards and threaten their stability; it was worse, however, to see boys stoning the globes in full view of everybody. City Council has a definite duty to perform and the mutter of providing funds to protect the city's large invest ment along the river ought to have serious and immediate consideration. || McCORMTCK CONFERS WITH WILSON $ Washington, June 19.—Vance C.
