The little section of buildings on the | wast side of Front street between Herr and Calder streets, which for years has been familiarly known as Hard scrabble, marks the only gap In the great three-mile concrete wall that | constitutes Harrisburg's "front steps." The Final Gap When the Hardscrabble section is ! condemned and the buildings razed j ! the city will be In a position to close j j the big gap in the wall at that point j | after which the steps and wall will fol-| low the sweep of the city's river shores i • from Mo clay street to iron alley. | In addition to the gap in the wall at Hardscrabble the only other unfinish ed job of the original improvement program is the uncompleted section | of the Paxton creek invert north of j State street. At least 150 feet of the big concrete gutter had been left open ! at that point to permit the lowertng of i the city's giant water mains beneath I the creek bed. Money is in sight, | however, to complete this job. Gen- I erally speaking, however, the Paxton i creek improvement is considered as finished as the contractor has been i paid and the work accepted. Spent Nearly Million and Half With the exception o fthe finishing i touches which were added during the last year or two, all the imorovements were accomplished under the general I supervision of the Board of Public Works, created for the purpose, j Harrisburg began its improvement program in 1902 and in the fourteen i years that followed, more than sl,- \ 234.184 was expended. The money was provided by improvement loans ! voted for by the people. From loan No. 1, the filtration plant was erected at a cost of more than $324,000; the general sewer Improve ment system including the construc tion of the flood-control dam at Wild ; wood and the Paxton creek intercept i er, cost approximately ?865,000; the dam across the Susquehanna at Dock rtreet cost less than $55.000. This ; loan was authorized in 1902. The Second Loan From the second loan the Mulberry Rtreet viaduct was built at a cost of $286,800 to which an additional $25,- 000 was appropriated for the construc tion of the approach at Fourth and Chestnut streets. The Mlsh Run and Eighteenth street sewer systems were constructed at a cost of $55,000. This loan was authorized in 1905. Loan No. 3, authorized In 1910, pro vided for the Paxton creek improve ment at a cost of $110,712.09 and the construction of the city's river front wall and Intercepting sewer at a cost of $333,841.83. Some additional moneys were appropriated to provide for the closing of a gap in the wall at Market street.

RAILROAD NEWS CARS ARE SCARCE; TRAFFIC HELD UP Coming Strike May Mean Long Tioup of Freight at West ern Points roads are unable to furnish cars for the freight offered from west ern points, and with the strike coming next week It Is the belief that traffic ! from the west will have to wait for some time. Every road Is obliged to i refuse business on this account. It Is causing shippers a groat deal of un easiness and restricting their op ; orations, particularly in grain. There | is a shortage of over 1,500 box cars for the grain business at Chicago. I One of the smaller roads is short '4OO ! cars on its orders. The aggregate ■ tonnage moved last week to eastern j territory was fully as large as hereto j fore and_ls per cent, more than last | yctr. Westbound business continues j enormous and is far above any other year, especially in merchandise. Eustbound shipments of grain from Chicago last week decreased 473,000 bushels from the previous week and 41 1,000 bushels from last year. Flour traffic increased 8,000 barrels for the week and was 2 7,000 barrels more then last year. The provision tonnage wai» unusually heavy, particularly of lard, which was for export, and in <reosed\6ll tons for the week and 822 ton? over last year. NEW CROSSING SIGNALS The hand traffic signals of crossing watchmen of the Pennsylvania Rail road in this city, used in regulating traffic* across thp railroad grade cross lugs, will be replaced with red signals. The new signals, which were recently adopted by the railroad company, are painted white with the word "Stop" in black letters. The new signal is puinted a brick red with the word "Stop" in black letters. The change in color makes the signal more* con spicuous and it- can be seen at a greater distance.
