STEELTON
NEW FOUNTAIN
FOR CIVIC CLUB
Ornament to Be Placed on
Locust Street Steps Be
fore Saturday
A new concrete fountain la to be
placed on the Locust street steps
and will be in use by Saturday, It
was announced by an officer of the
Civic Club this morning.
This fountain will replace the
metal one which was destroyed
when the Steelton Store Company
warehouse was damaged by fire
more than a year ago.
The mysterious disappearance of
the fountain came about in this way.
For four years the metal fountain
was torn from its foundation in the
fall and placed in the store company
warehouse for the winter. In the
spring of each year the fountain
wts taken from its winter storage,
cleaned and polished and mounted
on the Locust street steps.
Last year the fountain was not
put into position. Why It was not,
the public as a whole did not know,
but Civic Club members were in
formed. Residents as a whole did
not know the fountain was in stor
age at the time of the fire and was
totally destroyed and that the Clvio
Club was unable to get another one
at the time. This was the reason
and matterrs could not be adjusted
until this year.
The concret efountajn be
placed on the steps permanently,
thereby eliminating the trouble of
dismounting and placing into posi
tion each year.
