CITY TO COLLECT ASHES; REDUCTION CO. TO PAY [Continued From First Page] lection of garbage, ashes, miscellaneous refuse, etc., has frequently failed in the past and is at the present time failing to fully perioral its contractual duties, particularly with respect to the collection of ashes, as required by contract, resulting in intolerable con. ditions throughout a large portion of the city, which conditions, after re peated notices, it has neglected and is still neglecting to alleviate." On the llill First In speaking on the ash collection problem Dr. Raunick pointed out that the city in the past has failed to fulfill its contract requirements and that the Board of Health has penalized the contractor for violations of his agree ment. Dr. Raunick said that while he doubted whether a suitable plan for making the collections could be worked out over Sunday, he said he woula have some scheme ready within a few days at the latest. The Hill district will likely receive the first consid eration, he added. The health officer also intimated that he may try to ar range with the contractor for the em ployment of some of the experienced men. The present contract between the city and the Pennsylvania Reduction Company expires February 1, 1918. Budget Finally Passed Council passed finally the 1917 budget ordinance which provides for a total municipal expenditure of $755,- 982.25. As had been expected the $5,- 000 item for a municipal bathhouse and bathing beach was cut out and an item for a similar sum was placed in the water department estimates to provide for a new machine sl.op for the city mechanician. The depart mental appropriations were appor tioned as follows: Executive, including police depart ment, $85,775; law, $9,726.50; city clerk $u,028.50; weights and rneas"- ures, $2,896; printing, $5,600; ac- counts and finance, $4,420; 'city' con troller, $500; treasury, $7,157; license taxes, $3,510; miscellaneous, $177- 0 4 9.88; streets and public improve ments, $140,510.80; engineer's office, $11,676; water and light, $83,305; health and sanitation, $46,078; food inspection, $3,740; building inspection. $i.7.)0; plumbing inspection $1 820' city mechanician, $1,200: street light ing. $64,608.29; fire alarm and police telegraph, $8,180; fire department $45,159 22; parks, $42,476; city plan ning, $2,616. ' The Last Ordinances Following the passage of the budget I measure the tax levy ordinance au- i thorizing a nine mill rate during the l ensuing year was passed finally. Other i measures cleared from the calendar on final passage were the Meals' meas- I vires authorizing the appointment of live additional policemen, reducing the I i .o , Ln°" cltor ' B salary from $3,500 to $2,500; and crediting receipts from 1 1 all sources, except sewage tappage i street repair, etc., to the general fund' i In connection with the city solici-1 tor's salary measure Park Commis sioner Gross said that he thought the salary as provided by the ordinance, $2,500, would be acceptable to a well known attorney who has been spoken of as the possible candidate to suceed I D. S. Seitz. This, it is understood is ex.-Senator John E. Fox. of the law ■ firm of Fox and Geyer. Not To Insure With State Council decided Just before ad journment to Insure city employes in the workmen's compensation liability in the United States Fidelity and Guarantee Company instead of tie State fund. Franklin Suydam. the resident agent talked to Council on ! the subject In which he called atten jtlon to the fact that his firm, while charging a little higher rate offered j more advantages. City Commissioner l.ynch offered a : resolution authorizing the appro -1 prlatlng of about $3,000 in balances of his bureau to the street repair ! fund but because the measure at Mr, Gorgas' suggestion lay over for a week. It becomes ineffective. All legls- I lation on the councilmanic calendar j for 1916 died to-day—the final meet j ing of the year. In the new year an ordinance will be introduced to cover | the same matter, HEM.—IM>I—UNITED HAH HI SRI KG, SATURDAY, DECEMRER 30, 1018.

I Extra and I ij Store Will Be Closed All Day Monday—New Year's Day 1 COMMUNITY CLUB FOR FOREIGN SECTION fContinued From First Pago] story of some of the conditions and needs was simply told and the plea i made that something might be done to show by example to these boys and ! girls what real living, real interest and real love means. They know what the street and saloon produce, for they have daily examples of that. The Melting Pot "In this vicinity are found the Pole, J the Russian, the Italian, Hungarian,' Rumanian and others. They have j come to this country as to the Hand of ; Promise. They have brought with \ them many of the habits and customs of the mother country. What would you think, mothers of Harrisburg, if your daughters, when they reached the fourth grade, quit school to get' married and assume the responsibili ties of a home of their own. This is not mere supposition but actual fact. Two young foreign girls, Italians, were married within the last year or two from these grades. A young Ru- | manian girl who was in the third grade told her teacher that she was 1 goin gto stop school. Her teacher told i her she was too young to get a labor certificate to work, whereupon the lit-| tie girl said she wasn't going to work, she. was going to get married. When the teacher asked her ir her mother knew about it, the child said, 'Oh, yes, my mother knew a ladies once that was thirty-five and had no mans and she don't want me like that.' How About Child Marriage Here "Child marriage in India and you ! hold up your hands in horror. How r about child marriage in Harrisburg? We can show these children in our midst what it means to prepare for life ' in its truest sense. "Fathers, what would you think if your boy in the third grade attended a christening and drank so much beer that he lost count at the twelfth glass and didn't know who helped him home, and that his little companion of the first grade was almost in as pitiable condition? Another custom brought from the mother country. Many Families Under One lioof "Several families live in one house 1 and these girls and boys have no place to spend their evenings except in the i room where often times the entire I family sleeps. "The speaker spoke of visiting a : home where a father and his four motherless children, the oldest 14, the i youngest 3, lived in the front room downstairs, and the two other fami nes who lived In the same house had to pass through this room to got to their rooms. "A German cobbler lived with his two children in one room. A curtain divided the room into two parts. The front part was used by the man for mending shoes, the back part con tained the beds where they slept. The cooking was done on the stove that heated the shop. Could any boy make a high type of citizen raised in such an environment as this? No Place Hut the Street "As the children grow older, where are they to look for amusement? Where are they to entertain their com panions? There is no place for them now but the street. "These girls and boys are bright and attractive. They are the future citi zens of this, our city, the future asso ciates of your sons and daughters. What are we going to do to make them the kind of citizens, the kind of men and women of whom we shall be justly proud*? I ''Our ancestors, only a few genera tions back were foreigners, unless we be direct descendants of the only true j American, the American Indian. Tiic Work Started An interest has been awakened in this matter and a committee of ladies with Mrs. Herman P. Miller as chair man held several meetings to discuss plans of work that these people might I be shown the trite spirit of brotherly | love and of real living. "Finally it was decided to make an opening for definite work by opening a room, or rooms for reading and recreation, where these boys and girls can spend their evenings and where I they can learn what true companion ship and the personal touch mean. Committee Hack of Move A committee of representative men I have been asked to serve as an advis ory board and they stand ready to take up this great work, for the good of the future citizenship of a Greater ! Harrisburg. They are Prof. J. J. Brehm, chairman; Henry W. Gough, , treasurer; S. P. Eby, David E. Tracy, Horace McFarland, John Mullowney, John Yates and Henry W. Claster. They are now ready to act with the ladies in establishing and carrying on this important work. The use of the house 1121 Seventh street has been kindly given by Frank Sites for the present. i "A subcommittee with Miss Mary Robinson as chairlady are getting the ' house in order. To Open ltooins The organization is to be known as the Pcnn Community Club, and early in the new year it is hoped to have the Penn Community Club rooms for reading and games ready for the girls and boys of that community. It is , hoped that young women and men jof our city will stand ready to help | carry on this work by giving of their talents and time to these, their small i brothers and sisters. "Money, furniture, books and games will be much needed. Individual i gifts to a small amount have been pledged for the opening of the work and any member of the committee will be glad to turn over to the treasurer any gift whatsoever for this great work which will surely tell for time and eternity. Any bread cast upon the waters in this work will be sure to re turn again, as the little boy said, with | jam on it." 1 Wm.
