As a result of this predicament of the Harrisburg Light and Power Company, manufacturing plants in many sections of the city are com pelled to work at considerable disad vantage. The first trouble occurred, several • days ago when a boiler exploded at j the Cedar street plant and cut off 1.000 kilowatts from the city supply.: This, together with a reduction of approximately 500 kilowatts in the! amount supplied to the local con cern by the York Haven establish-1 ment. so worked that current had to] be cut off to residences during the ; day time. The equipment of the local concern is not sufficient to supply the in creased amount of current needed by: Harrisburg's war industries. The commandeering of material needed j for equipment, officials say, has been , such that they have not been able to; purchase sufficient equipment to' meet the increased demands. Only; 7000 kilowatts is able to be manufac-] tured with the nresent equipment.. To fill the deficiency, 2.500 kilowatts of current is secured daily from the York Haven establishment. For the past several weeks the water in the dam of the York Haven plant has been so low that it has been unable to supply within # 500 kilowatts daily of the amount of cur-, rent ordered. Conditions at the light! plant were aggravated three days ago ; when a boiler exploded at the Cedar] plant, and further reduced the amount of kilowatts for Harrisburg's) needs by 1,000 kilowatts. When this' occurred, current was cut off in the; residential district during the day. time. Manufacturing establishments were not affected until to-day. The Cedar; street boiler had been replaced,) when the supply of current from! York Haven was further reduced by Use McNeil's Cold Tablets. Adv.

Cost of Proposed New Hummelstown Bridge May Be Prohibitive, Bids Show The County Commissioners were literally stunned this morning when they opened bids for a four-arch con crete bridge to be built over the Swatara creek, at Hummelstown. to replace the present wood structure. Two bids were presented and opened and the lowest of these fixed the cost at $126,400 or more than double what the commissioners had expect to pay. That bid was lodged by George Merdinger, of South Bethle hem. . S. W. Shoemaker. & Son, of this city bid $174,500. The contractors specified that they would throw off $4,000 if the provision for paving tho bridge with brick were eliminated from the specifications. The county hasn't yet obtained assurance from the highways council, a federal body, that the government approves the building of the bridge at this time, but the commissioners said that now they are not much interested with that question. The bids are out of the question, too. they said. However, they decided to hold the matter under advisement until Mon day. It is expected that theh they will formally reject the bids and will take up the question of repairing the present structures. Father Rice Leaves For Chaplain's School The Rev. Father George L.

"These -e the principal condi tions," he said, "which will give a victory worth having. No peace that satisfies Germany can ever satisfy us. It cannot be a negotiated peace. It must be a dictated peace and we and our allies must dictate it." "The Germans, repulsed and los ing." said Senator Lodge, "undoubt edly will begin an insiduous and poisonous peace propaganda. With this weapon they have succeeded in disorganizing Russia. It is ~tl> Ger man propaganda which we shall be obliged to face in the ensuing months."

Mr. Davenport called the attention of the industrial managers to the need of houses, to the fact that Con gress had set aside $50,000,000 for housing workers in war industries and expressed the belief that if full information concerning the necessity of more houses in Sharon was dem onstrated, the government would ex pend a portion of this sum in per. manent housing developments here. Like Harrisburg At that time the conditions in Sharon were very similar to those that have been reported from Har risburg as a result of the preliminary survey there. Over-crowding exist ed in many districts to such a degree that it oonstituted a menace to the health of the community. More workers could not be brought into the valley until more houses are built. The Shenango Valley, iike Harrisburg, and many other war in dustrial centers the country over, was getting a bad reputation for ils over-crowded conditions. The con ditions under which ordinary labor and much semiskilled and skilled classes of labor lived were such as toi foster discontent, increase the la bor turnover and decrease efficiency, to say nothing of the moral obliga tion of the community to provide de cent homes for its people. One of the signal proofs of the over-crowd ing that existed was that nearly 58 per cent, of the workers were board ig and that only 16 per cent, own their own homes, which may be high Baker Brothers, Founders of Wildwood and Wildwood Crest, for the Wildwood Crest Co., Present this Great Profit- Sharing Auction Sale of Seashore Land and Buildings WILDWOOD' CREST, N.

All Managers Interested The letter setting forth these con ditions brought ready response from the manufacturers, every one of whom replied with requests to have the surveying engineer meet them for an interview, and in the end nearly every one became an ardent supporter of the housing movement. For an example of good housing Sharon turned to Goodyear Heights, near Akron. Ohio. Goodyear Heights comprises about 400 acres near the Goodyear Company's factories.
