NEWS OF S
HUGE ATTENDANCE
AT PLAYGROUNDS
More Than Half-Million Visits
by Children Made During
First Season
Every day during the present sum
mer an average of Just 1,090.5 chil
dren In the borough enjoyed sys
tematic play at the various play
grounds which recently closed their
first season.
These figures and many other Inter
esting statistics were presented the
Steelton Parks and Playgrounds Com
mission by Supervisor James R. Irwin
last evening.
In his closing report, Mr. Irwin
pointed out that the total attendance
at the five playgrounds was 68,878,
with a dally attendance of 233.2 at
each playground.
Instructors at the various recreation
centers supervised a total of 6,122
games of various sorts, a daily average
for all playgrounds of 305 games. At
each place an average of sixty-one
games were played.
The playgrounds were open fifty
four days in all. From the very start,
attendance figures ran high and even
during the final month when interest
usually slumps, a good-sized increase
was noted. The Romper Day last
Wednesday closed the season and
plainly demonstrated the success of
the playgrounds movement here.
All apparatus has been removed
from the playgrounds and safely
stored away for next season. Super
visor Irwin has listed every piece of
and a record will be kept so
that next Spring will see no delay in
getting the playgrounds in shape.
C. S. Davis, chairman of the com
mission, will likely submit the report
of Supervisor Irwin to Council with
recommendations to cover the future
of the system. A strong demand has
been created for properly supervised
recreation facilities here and it is
likely that Council will incorporate a
liberal appropriation for this work in
the next budget.
Water Board to Meet.—The "bor
ough water board will hold its regular
monthly meeting at the filter plant
Friday afternoon.
Councilman Is HI.—M. A. Obercash,
proprietor of the Bessemer House,
Main street, and councilman from the
Fifth ward, is ill at hfs home.
JITNEYMENMUST
GET CERTIFICATES
Decision Given in Allegheny
County Cases Similar to
That in Scranton
pie Public Service Commission In
opinions handed down to-day by
Chairman Alney held that Bryan
Blythe and W. T. Alter, operating "jlt
nejs In \lclnlty of Natrona, Allegheny
cqunty, must get certificates of public
convenience from the commission. The
decisions in the main follow the lines
of those handed down In the Srranton
cases decided by Judge Monaghan, of
Philadelphia, when a commissioner.
The Allegheny Valley Street Railway
Company was the complainant.
In the case of Blythe, however, It Is
pointed out that he had made an ap
plication for a certificate and that
•whenthe hearing was held on a protest
filed by the street railway company
he did not appear. The opinion says:
"The granting of certificates of public
convenience authorizing individuals to
engage in the business of a common
carrier of passengers is of grave mo
ment to the public. Not only the pub
lic's convenience but their safety is in
volved. It seems proper that the com
mission should be Informed of the
chaarcterand fitness of such applicants
cants and also as to their safety is
Involved. It seems proper that the
commission should be informed of the
chartec and fitness of such applicants
and also as to their ability to perform
the service which such certificates of
public convenience would Impose upon
them." The opinion contains an order
that Blythe must stop operating until
he obtains a certificate. A similar or
der is also made in the case of Alter.
The decisions will govern in numer
ous cases which are pending, it is be
lieved.

HABRIBBURG tfijjftl TELEGRAPH
RAILROAD NEW
WESTERN UNION
BACKWITHP.R.R.
Shut Out For Fifteen Years;
Succeeds Postal When Pres
ent Contract Ends
Special to the Telegraph
Philadelphia. Sept. 6. After fifteen
years' exclusion from the patronage of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
I the Western Union Telegraph Company
is once again to do business with the
great railroad corporation. This be
came known yesterday, when it was dis
covered that the present exclusive con
tract between the Pennsylvania and
the Postal Telegraph Company, which
expires on June 25 next, will not be re
newed.
The Western Union, which once did
all the telegraph business for the Penn
sylvania Railroad, lost the contract dur
ing the presidency of the late Alex
ander J. Ca-ssatt, who, after an angry
difference with the Western Union of
ficials. ordered that all the corpora
tion's poles along the lines of the Penn
sylvania system be cut down.
Postal Gets Long Contract
A long-term contract was then en
tered Into with the Postal Company.
The Western Union did no Pennsylvania
Railroad business from that day until
this.
Although no official of the Pennsyl
vania would discuss the matter yester
day. it WHS nevertheless learned upon
high authority that "there will be no
exclusive telegraph contracts after thu
current Postal contract expires on June
25." It was also said that the effect or
such a policy would be to divide the
business between the two companies.
This, of course, will greatly enhance
the Western Union receipts.
