[Continued From First Pago]
that the opinion be printed for the'
commissioners' individual eonsid- I
eration, explained again that ho be- !
lieves the taxpayers should obtain the j
I full benefit of the Water Department ;
j earnings, but added that necessary ex- I
5 tensions to the reservoir, pumping sta- ;
tions, etc., were a matter of the very j
near future and that Council should !
give the problem of diverting the
whole earnings to the lighting bill :
serious consideration.
Parking of automobiles and other j
vehicles on Fourth street from Chest- j
nut to Market is prohibited under pen- ;
alty of $5, $lO and $25 fines for sue- I
cessive offenses under an ordinance
introduced by Commissioner W. 11. i
Lynch.
| Council unanimously extended a !
vote of thanks to the special commit- !
too headed by Spencer C. Gilbert for
the excellent work that had been done
in providing the emergency typhoid j
convalescent hospital during the re
cent epidemic. Chairman Gilbert j
thanks Council for its assistance and '
said a commendatory word about Dr. |
J. M. J. Raunick, the city health 1
officer.
Dr. Raunick reported that the i
emergency hospital was closed on Sat- i
urday, after having been in operation i
fifty-six days; that 42 city cases, 22
county cases and 17 cases from other
counties were cared for. Fixtures cost- i
ing $1,157.31 wero provided and the j
' expenses, including salaries, etc., to- j
! taled f2.600, of which SI,OOO has been
| paid. This leaves a deficit of about
$1,600, but much of the paraphernalia
1 can be returned or sold, according to \
i Dr. Raunick, so that the deficit will I
I likely be cut down to about SI,OOO.
Poor Director Frank B. Snavely ap- i
peared before Council to complain to |
the commissioners about Park Super- |
intendent Gross' failure to provide for |
the removal of the stones from the \
almshouse meadow. Charge and
counter charge of "bad faith" in car- j
rying out the arrangements incident j
to the removal of the stone were ex- i
changed between Mr. Snavely and Mr. j
' j Gross and the incident closed when
Mr. Gross promised to clear away the i
stone by February 1.
Council referred to Superintendent j
Gorfjas a statement from the State to '
the effect that compensation liability
under the State fund will cost Harris-,
burg $3,409.14. lie will take it up in |
the budget, conference. The payment
of the balance of $1,450 duo on the
city treasury audit to the Pittsburgh I
Audit Company was directed.
Council approved the award to j
Henry Opperman of the contract fori
building a sewer at Front and Boas j
streets for $239 and the award to M. I
F. Saul of the contract for lowering!
water pipe In Chestnut street, Nine-:
teenth to Twentieth, at Ills hid of
$219.10.
The ordinance creating the Job of l
city mechanician at $1,200 was passed j
finally and Mayor Meals' police salary
raiser ordinance was amended to In-'
elude a $lO monthly raise for the lieu- I
tenant of police. The ordinance au
thorizing construction of sewers In i
Jefferson, Mahnntonso and Geary
streets was passed finally. |
B ATHHOUSE ON
ISLAND APPROVED
l nit Plan Whereby Additional
Facilities Can He Pro
vided Endorsed
Erection of a municipal bathhouse
and bathing beach on Hargest's Island
011 a unit plan whereby additional fa
cilities can tn> provided from year to
year, as urged by the Greater Harris
burg Navy, was heartily endorsed to
day by Warren 11. Manning, the city's
landscape architectural expert.
The park expert incidentally en
thusiastically boosted the plan of in
corporating at least $.">.000 in the city
budget for 1917 to provide for the
initial structure.
The item of $5,000 has been incor
porated in the park departmental es
timates for the coming year.
"While I know very iittle about the
details, I can add my heartiest word
of endorsement to the plan," declared
Mr. Manning to-day. "1 will say this:
I don't think these bathhouses or bath
ing beaches should be located along
the river wall, but the suggestion to
build a house and beach along the
island shores impresses me as being
just the ideal thing to do."
Mr. Manning spent the greater part
of the day with the Planning Commis
sion in inspecting the proposed re
arrangement of streets and the de
velopment plan for the section of
country north of Division street.
Visit Riverside
Tn the driving snow this morning
Mr. Manning, with President E. S.
Herman, of the Planning Commission:
F. Clark Cowden. the commission's
engineer, and V. Grant Forrer. assist
ant park superintendent, visited River
side and the section of country north
of it.
Mr. Cowden had compiled data and
drawings showing the proposed
changes and these will be carefully
studied by Mr. Manning and the Plan
ning Commission before final adoption
of that section of the city's three-mile
planning limit. At a meeting this
afternoon of the entire commission
this problem was again threshed out.
The park expert to-day endorsed
the ideas advanced vesterda- by A. W.
Brunner, the New York expert, who.
with Mr. Manning, has been selected
by the State to map out the proposed
Capitol Park extension.

by the decision of the baseball's su

against the defunct Newark club was
the principal topic of consideration

Cold and Clear Weather

Winter paid Harrisburg its first
visit this year, arriving shortly before
5 o'clock this morning. More than
an inch of snow fell during the morn

shortly after noon.
Much of the snow melted as it fell
causing slushy streets and sidewalks,
making walking difficult. Autolsfs
and motormen on trolley cars also
had trouble because of the slippery
streets and wet rails.
