2 DAILY REPORTS OF TWO SURVEYS Seek Highest Efficiency Pos sible in School Finance and Police Dept. Daily reports will l>e made ot the surveys of the police department and the business and financial administra tion of the llarrisburf? School district. The surveys will be made by the New York Bureau of Municipal Research through the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce. The work will be done with a view to obtaining the highest ctficiencv in the police department and financial work of the school board, and is be / ing done in a co-operative spirit to show where and how the taxpayers money can be saved. Information gained by the police survey will give Mayor Meals and Chief of Police Wetael exact details as to how the department should be organized and operated so as to give the citizens of Harrisburg proper po lice protection at an economical cost. The scTiool survey will also be done by an authority who will tell of mod ern methods in the upkeep and re pairs of buildings, fuel and heating maintainence and the purchase of all supplies. Many representative communities in this country have not only had surveys made by the New York Bureau of Municipal Research, but later public spirited citizens have endowed the creation of local bureaus of municipal research to be operated by trained men secured from the staff of the New York Bureau. Such progressive com munities as Rochester, N. Y., Akron. Ohio and Minneapolis, Minn., have done this. The New York Bureau has recently completed a survey of all municipal departments in San Fran cisco and has under way surveys of Jamestown, N. Y., Columbus, Ohio, and Kansas City, Mo. President David K. Tracy, of the Chamber of Commerce, is giving the surveys in Harrisburg, his personal attention, as he believes their results will be constructive work of the high est value to the community. Engineer Has Another Birthday Celebration WILLIAM H. COBAUGH This is the birthday anniversary of William 11. Cobaugh, a well-known passenger engineer on the Philadel phia division of the Pennsylvania Railroad. "Billy" as he is better known, never misses a celebration. \ His friends won't let him. To-day they sent postcards, gave him per sonal congratulations and said all manner of nice things. He runs the Broadway Limited between New York and Harrisburg, is prominent in Brotherhood circles and belongs to the veteran class of railroaders. Ash Situation Grows Worse Instead of Better The ash and garbage situation grows worse instead of better. The back yards and alleys are still littered with the unsightly mounds that are growing into miniature mountains. The condition to-day is made worse with the city covered by inches of slush and the outlook for any immedi ate relief seems hopeless. At the city health office this afternoon it was said that not one application for collector has as yet been received and that about half of the regular force is on the Job. The suggestion made last week by Dr. J. M. J. Raunick, city health officer, that an expert be engaged to go over the situation thoroughly and make a report on a possible solution ■will be incorporated in his annual report to Council. That some drastic action be speedily taken by Council for an immediate, if temporary, re lief from existing conditions is the only method that seems reasonable at this time in the minds of manj citizens. As pointed out by Dr. Uaunick last week, a number of local contractors would be willing to contract for the removal of ashes and garbage, but could not because they arc unable to get enough men for the teams. With this condition Council would be com pelled to import men to do. the wprk. With one hundred men the city could be cleaned up in a week's time, ac cording to Dr. Raunick.
