SCHOOL PROBLEM
Directorate Selects Massachu
setts Expert to Report
by August 1
Thorough survey and study of Har
risburg's High school problem by one
of the leading experts on the subject
In America, was decided upon by the
school board at Its regular session this
afternoon.
Dr. J. H. Van Sickle, superintendent
of schools of Sprlngneld, Mass., was
selected for the purpose and he will
compile his findings in a complete re
port to the board berore August 1.
By submitting his report by that
date the expert will give the board
ample time to consider the findings of
fore framing; the question of submit
ting a loan to the people at the Fall
election. Dr. Van Sickle is one of the
foremost experts in his profession and
was recommended to Harrisburg's
school board by the most prominent
educators of the country.
The Board this afternoon selected
City Treasurer Harry F. Oves as treas
urer of the district. He becomes col
lector of school taxes by virtue of his
city office so that by its action this
afternoon the school board makes it
possible to transact all the business
pertaining to city school taxes through
one office. Mr. Oves* salary was fixed
at 14426 of which he will be expected
to pay about S2OOO for the cost of two
bonds, clerk hire, etc., leaving a net
salary for his services as school tax
collector and treasurer of about $2500
yearly. The collector's bond was
raised from $30,000 to $50,000 and the
treasurers bond was raised from
$60,000 to SIOO,OOO. This means that
the cost of collecting and disbursing
taxes will amount to about $8,500 a
saving of approximately S4OOO.
D. D. Hammelbaugh was re-elected
secretary, Frank Foose and Austin N.
Miller, Clerks and Miss Anne Brenne
man was re-chosen stenographer, for
another year. The annual school cen
sus is being conducted by the assist
ant truant officer instead of persons
specially selected for the purpose at a
cost of five cents per name. This
means an approximate saving of SSOO
per year.
All the committee reports were
adopted Including the finance commit
tee's statement to the effect that the
Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church and the
Civic Club's new home be exonerated
from payment of school taxes.

Special
Coal
Notice
It is important when buying coal to see that you
get coal that has the minimum amount of im
purities.
Coal is composed mostly of carbon, but some
grades contain a large percentage of mineral im
purities like bone, slate, lime, etc.
These mineral impurities go to make up your
ash pile. Coal that contains a large percentage of
lime fuses or melts together and forms "clinkers."
There are more than 300 Anthracite coal mines
in this State. A coal dealer needs considerable ex
perience to be able to select the mines which will
give his customers good coal.
We are the largest coal dealers in Central Penn
sylvania and it will be perfectly safe for you to give
us your order.
A saving of 30c per ton is made on Egg, Stove,
Nut and Pea coal bought now.
