Water Rent Collections
$7,700 Higher This Year
Prank N. Templar, chief clerk in the
city Water Department, reported that
552.083.91 in water rents have been col
lected during; the first quarter of the
year, an increase of J7.728.90 over the
total rents collected for the same period
lat year. The-proportionate advance,
however, would be higher than thta,
Mr. Templar explained, because this
year an eight-cent rate for each 100
cubic feet was charged, while until
April 1, last year, a ten-cent rate was
charged. Because of the rate reduction
the surplus water funds may not reach
those of last year, it was said.

streets shouting 'Give us bread,'
smashing windows and singing revo
lutionary songs.

Steeplejack Starts Repair
Work on Church Steeple
Repair work was begun this morn
ing on the First United Brethren

Repeated complaints were made to the

convenience caused by the ropes. Church
officials declared that they were un
able t$ prpcure a steeplejack who

ALL THE NEWS OF T
NEW OFFICER ON
MIDDLE DIVISION
His Name Is Thomas G. Her
bert; He Will Visit All
Labor Camps
"Camp inspector" is a new office
recently established on the Middle di
vision of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Thomas G. Herbert, former health of
ficer at Altoona, is the first incum
bent. He started on his new duties
yesterday. He will keep in close touch
with all labor camps, bunkhouses,
and buildings where employes make
their headquarters. He will work
under the direction of Hubert H. Rus
sell, division enginer.
Within the past year, following the
great influx of southern negroes to
serve the corporation as track hands,
to replace foreigners who answered
the call to their native colors, many
camps have been established along
the right of way of the Pennsy, and
because of a lack of proper sanita
tion, some of these became veritable
disease breeding holes.
Ilealm officers in the districts af
fected were frequently called in to as
sist in ridding the camps of disease,
but this was found to be a costly and
unsatisfactory method of handling
the situation.
Mr. Herbert's first work will be to
visit all the camps, whether con
tagious disease exists or not. He will
order a general clean-up, where need
ed, and prescribe rules for the govern
ment of the camps' sanitation. In the
event of sickness among the employ?
es, Mr. Herbert will invoke the proper
methods of ridding the community of
disease, and avoid, If possible, an epi
demic. He will work in conjunction
with the local health officers, where
such conditions arise.
MORE EQUIPMENT ORDERS
Railroad equipment contracts are
being placed less rapidly than for sev
eral weeks, but car builders are still
in the market for from 30,000 to 50,-
000 tons of bars, plates and shapes to
cover construction of cars already un
der contract. In addition to the 2,000
cars ordered by the Philadelphia &
Reading a few days ago a number of
small orders for 200 cars were taken
by the Standard Steel Car Company
and the Chicago Car Company, in
cluding some passenger equipment for
the St. Paul.*
WIRELESS STATIONS CLOSE
In accordance with instruction
from President Woodrow Wilson,
closing all wireless stations, except
those under control of the United
States Government, those on the
Reading system have been closed. The
new station at the P. & R. Y. M. C. A.
at Reading was recently installed, and
was said to be one of the best equip
\ed la tho. State.

DON'T GET MAD
OVER LATE TRAINS
Tie-Ups Are Likely lo Happen
When War Rush Is on;
Be Patient
Up to date war traffic lias not Inter
fered to any great extent with regu
lar railroad schedules In and out of
Harrisburg. Both the Pennsy and
Reading report daily delays to express
trains, due to freight traffic, but.lt has
not become necessary to eliminate
any of the regular traffic.
According to a statement made to
day, local officials are prepared for
any immediate rush of business due
to war deliveries. No attention will
be given to schedules when this hap
pens. Trains will be run on time as
far as practicable, but Government
business Is to be given precedent,
which means that regular travelers
may later on be obliged to wait.
"If there are schedules lield up,"
said one official to-day, "there will be
no explanation. The public will be
informed as to all delays. Troop
train movements and other special
hauls will not be made public. No
explanation will *be forthcoming. It
will be Government business first and
the public must be patient.
"Every effort possible will be made
to keep trains moving on time but
there is no telling what may happen,
so there will be no need to do any
cussing. Everybody about the rail
roads In this country is going to do
the best he knows how. If there is
no trouble well and godd, if ties up
come, we must take care of them the
best we know how."
