TO ENLARGE FOR
COAL SHORTAGE
Plan Improvements at Pump
ing Station; Many Other De
partment Changes
Extensive improvements at the
pumping station of the borough
water department; Increase in wages
of employes in different departments
and discussion of the consolidation
of Steelton and Highspire were
among the high points of the month
ly session of council last night.
On recommendation of George H.
Roberts, superintendent of the
Water Board, a double frame dwell
ing in Christian street. near
Conestoga street, owned by the bor
ough, will be removed to give space
for storing a large supply of river
coal. 1 Mr. Roberts stated that in
order to have the 2,500 tons of coal,
consumed in a year, stored away for
use next year, larger quarters must
be provided. The high prices of
bituminous coal this year has caused
a great demand for the river
product. Mr. Roberts states that he
has made arrangements to have
river coal supplied at a reasonable
price.
On the 60x100 foot of ground
which will be made possible by the
removal of the houses, a wooden
fence, about fifteen feet high, will
be erected. Much Of the lumber in
tlie houses will be used in erecting
tho fence. Work will be started at
puce by Water Department em
p'o.ves.
Owing to the increased territory
necessary for the water board to
cover, Mr. Roberts said in his report
that a horße and wagon now in use
is too slow. He suggested purchas
ing a motor truck. Council has In
structed to find out how much he
could get for the horse and report
at the next meeting.
Petition For Increase
Increase In cost of living was
p'ainiy seen in the action of em
ployes of several departments. Em
ployes of the police department and
fire drivers presented petitions ask
ing for increases. Both department
employes were given a monthly raise
cf $5. Employes of the Highway
Department, after much discussion
in which E. C. Henderson, chairman
of the highway committee, sidol
with the employes, were given a
raise of three cents an hour, which
lis from twenty-one to twenty-five
cents. All increases became effective
May 1.
An application for Chief of Police
by John P. Winn, of tlie West Side,
n-jw a night patrolman, was laid on
the table. Chairman T. T. Mi-Entee
said no other applications had been
filed with him and Leon Hand will
fill the position us chief for another
month.
First Step of Consolidation
The initial step in the consoll
| riation of Steelton and Highspire was
taken last night when four members
of the lower end council met with
tlie local body. Members of the
Highspire body, who were given an
opportunity to express their views,
believed that Highspire at the pres
ent time would get the better of the
transaction but Steelton would later
And it a good investment.
Members of Steelton council seem
to be of one opinion, in wishing
\ery much to see Highspire part of
this borough, but wanted to have
more data on the proposition. A
motion carried for the appointment
of committees from each council to
meet at Highspire in the near future
to go over the ground.
Those representing Highspire
j were: President of council, Irvin
Hoffmaster; councilmen, M. A.
Cumbler, C. W. Becker: secretary of
council, Georse W. Xover: John
Weaver, president of the Hidhsplrr
fire company; Burgess A. D. Ktugh.
A meeting of the Highspire coun
cl!l will be held Friday night when
a resolution will be passed, putting
it up before the voters.
To Represent Borough in Parade
A resolution was passed asking
for twelve state policemen to be
sent to Steelton during the parade
on May 19. Arrangements were also
made to secure a band to head tho
borough division, which will include
members of council, members of
water and health boards and bor
ough employes, about 100 persons
In all.
On the suggestion of the parks
and playgrounds commission to use
vacant ground in Kelker park for
farming purposes, council passed a
motion granting this and decided to
have a water pipe attached to a tire
plug in that vicinity for the use
ol the gardeners. The borough en
gineer wilt be instructed to stake
off plots thirty by thirty feet and
place them in the hands of the com
mission for distribution. Ross M.
Prey, whose term expired as a mem
ber of the commission, was reap
pointed.
Jonas K. Reist, a prominent con
tractor, who is erecting seventeen
modem dwellings In Front street,
near Franklin, asked council last
nisht if council would offer some
inducements to him by giving his
free sewerage and water connections
and free water supply for the time
the houses are being built. This
matter was referred to the borough
solicitor.
Council contributed $25 to the
local G. A. R. post for the annual
memorial day exercises.
Superintendent Roberts, of the
water board, was instructed to pur
chase suitable pipe to extend a pipe
line from Front and Felton streets
to the coke ovens of the local steel
plant, a distance of about 260 feet.
This extension is being made at the
request of the steel company.

Several patrolmen of the borough
police department under the direc
tion of Leon Hand, acting chief of
police yesterday on orders of Burgess
