CITY'S STREET
REPAIRING COST
78 CENTS A YARD
Lynch Reports on Splendid Re
sults Obtained at Munici
pal Plant
! COVERED 48,451.53 YARDS
Unusually Fine Showing Made
| in Streets and Improvements
Bureau
Despite the astonishing increase of
approximately 20 per cent, in the
cost of materials, Harrlsburg, under
the supervision of City Commissioner
W. H. Lynch repaired during 1916,
just 45,451.53 square yards of paved
streets at an average cost of but 78
cents per yard.
That item stands out pre-eminently
in the annual report for the past year
of the Department of Streets and Pub
lic Improvements which was submit
ted to-day by Commissioner Lynch
to Council.
The unusually low cost of street
repair work, accomplished with the
city's asphalt repair plant, is espe
cially interesting to the taxpayers of
the city in view of these two facts:
Looking Ahead
Just a year before the asphalt
plant was placed in commission, Har
risburg laid out 15,000 good dollars
to a private repair contractor who
did a little more than 3,000 yards of
repair work. And that, during a year
when the price of labor and material
was not anything like the present
tlgure.
Then, too, Ilarrisburg will begin
during the coming year to do a lot
of re-surfacing of its badly worn
streets. About SIO,OOO has been pro
vided for the coming year a start
on the job that is intended to cover
the entire city.
The lie-Surfacing Job
This work, according to Mr. Lynch
will be started as early in the ve
possible. Just where he will begin
he isn't ready to say except intiv
business section will naturally receive
the earliest consideration. Market
street is in sad need of re-surfacing,
so are sections of Third, Chestnut and
even Fourth. Besides the SIO,OOO
allotted for re-surfacing, $20,000 has
been set aside for repair work.
Since the Department of Streets
and Public Improvements was created
no more complete report of the bur
eau's operations was ever submitted
to Council than the summarized
statement of the work accomplished,
together with big blue-printed pages
of statistics.
The Isle of Safety
The detailed account of the conduct
of the asphalt repair plant a new
departure by the way is especially
interesting. All the reports and sta
tistics were compiled by Chief Clerk
Joseph W. Ibach.
While Commissioner Lynch touches
upon the street paving, grading, sewer,
repair work, street cleaning, new
building, public improvement and
other operations, he also mentions
briefly the condition of the only im
provement authorized by the fourth
improvement loan which is still
pending. This is the isle of safety and
public comfort station in Market
Square for which $25,000 was
voted. On this subject Com
missioner Lynch says: "Of the
public improvements authorized
by the fourth loan, only the
building of the isle of safety and pub
lic comfort station in Market. Square
is pending. This matter has been
I referred to the City Planning Commis
sion for recommendations."
Making Our Own Repairs
In discussing the street depairs,
City Commissioner Lynch says:
"There were 48,451.53 square yards
of asphalt streets repaired during the
year at a cost of $41,397.25. A num
ber of streets were in a deplorable
condition, nearly worn out. Includ
ed in this was that section of South
street, from the east side of Front to
the west side of Second street, which
I was completely re-surfaced. I desire
at this time to call your attention to
the fact that the 5-year guarantee on
71 sections of paved streets expired
during the year and some provision
will have to be made in the near fu
ture to have them properly cared
for. The price of all materials ad
vanced during the year approximately
.0 per cent. For instance asphalt
I that was bought in 1915 under con-
I tract for $12.21 per ton was advanced
, under contract to $17.37 per ton. The
cost to the city for maintenance work
during the year, including interest on
money invested and depreciation of as
phalt plant, was seventy-eight cents
per square yard."
Sir Ljnch's. Big Program
During the year Commissioner
Lynch constructed 20 sewers com
prising a mileage of 1.7 at a cost of
$23,610.23; graded eight highways, a
mileage of .91, at a cost of $4,257.50-
and paved 15 sections of highway a
total mileage of 1.37 or total vardage
of 20,594.4, running Harr'isburg's
grand total mileage of paved streets
to 76.167 square miles. These addi
tional fifteen streets during 1916 were
paved at a cost of $32,772.10.
Other work of the department in
cluded:
More Improvements
Construction of 35 new inlets 4
inlets were rebuilt, one man-hole was
rebuilt and nine street crossings were
put down; one new auto-truck was
purchased and another will likely be
bought in the near future; the ad
dition of a street sweeper and sprink
ler combined, and another sweeper
increasing efficiency of this end of
the work; the Philadelphia and!
Heading bridge at Thirteenth street
the Pennsy bridge at Dock street and
the city's section of the Market street
subway were repainted; it 2-story
brick warehouse and office building
was erected at the municipal asphalt
plant and the construction in the near
future of another addition will mate
rially increase the storage facilities;
602 permits for openings in highways
for conduit, steam, gas, water and
sewer connections, and 117 permits
for electric light, telephone and tele
graph poles were issued.

REAL HAIR GROWER
Found at Last. Shows Results In
Three Days Says Local Druggist
If you are rapidly losing your hair
and fear baldness, H. C. Kennedy in
vites you to make a three days' test of
Parisian Sage. If it does not stop the
excessive loss of hair and make your
hair and scalp look and feel at least
100 per cent, better, they will return
your money.
Hundreds of men and women have
written telling of the phenomenal re
suits obtained by using Parisian Sage.
People who were bald say they now
glory in their beautiful hair. Others
who have had dandruff for years say
they got a clean, healthy scalp after
Just a few applications of this splendid
treatment.
No matter whether you are bothered
with falling hair, prematurely gray
hair, dry, dull and brittle hair, oily,
greasy, stringy hair, dandruff or itching
scalp, this well known local flrin Invites
you to try Parisian Sage at their risk.
It it succeeds the cost Is trifling, and
should it fail the cost Is nothing. No
string or red tape to this money-back
offer. If your hair is worth saving,
Parisian Sage is worth trying, and a
large bottle is inexpensive at your
favorite drug or toilet counter.
If you could realize the infinite care
with which the good name of
KING OSCAR
5c Ci
is guarded, your smoke troubles
would be over. You would then
know that here is an all-day,
every-day smoke which is always
of a uniform high quality. They
couldn't be better because they are
made of the finest tobaccos that
grow.
