USED LANTERN
TO ILLUSTRATE
Minister Brings Out in Novel
"Way Advantages of An
nexation to Harrisburg
To prove his arguments in favor of!
the annexation of the West Shore to j
Harrisburg, the Rev. C. D. RishelJ
pastor of the Church of God, South
Enola, appeared at the meeting of
Midway citizens last night with a lan
tern. The minister said he must
carry a lantern at night because the
district is without street lights and
if it was taken into the city of Har
risburg would have the streets light
ed as well as many other modern
conveniences.
The meeting was the third of a
scries being held In the West Shore
towns under the auspices of the
West Shore Firemen's Union. Up
to this time, Lemoyne and Worm
leysburg have favored it and are
going on with the work. West Fair
view is undecided over the matter
and New Cumberland, judging from
the meeting held there on Tuesday
will not give the matter any con
sideration. Meetings are to be held
in Enola and Camp Hill, after which
the sentiment of the entire West
Shore will be known. The meeting
at Enola will be held to-night and at
Camp Hill Monday night.
At the Midway meeting last night
about fifty persons in attendance fa
vored the move. Many requests that
another meeting be held next week,
so that they fully understand the
proposition before starting a peti
tion among the taxpayers.
Arthur R. Rupley, of Carlisle, a
former resident of West Fairview,
brought out the advantages of being
annexed to the city. Mr. Rupley
explained the advantages of having
city government; better fire protec
tion; better schools and other mod
ern facilities. Mr. Rupley said the
taxes may be increased slightly but
the people will be getting something
for their money.
Residents were much Interested,
asking questions during the explana
tion, which gave them a better Idea
of the proposition. There was little
opposition to the move.
