ELECTRICITY CUT
DOWN BY COMPANY
[Continued front First Page. ]
to-day than it has. been for some
time. 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

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.

the York street crossing of the Dills

two occupants of the automobile es
caped with slight injuries.
William B. Neff and George Gai
retson, painters and paperhangers,
were going to the country to work
this morning in a small automobile
and were sruck when they crossed
this crossing. They maintained that
they did net hear the ringing of the
bell. vYrrretson jumped and escaped
with a few scratches. Neff is suffer

The automobile was entirely demol

restoration of Belgium, unconditional
return of Alsace-Lorraine to France
and of Italia Irredenta to Italy,
safety for Greece, independence for
Serbia and Rumania, an independent

Furthermore, Senator Lodge declar
ed Constantinople must be made a
free port and Palestine never re
stored to Turkish rule.
"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

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."
INDUSTRIES IN SHARON
AID HOUSING SURVEY
[Continued from First Page.]
tries in the Shenango Valley district.
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

for Harrisburg, but Judging from
reports reaching here on conditions
there, not very much so. It was
found also that about one out of
seven wanted to buy a homo if given
the opportunity under favorable
long-term conditions.
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. Ap
proximately 100 acres have been de
veloped. The development that has
been done has been in relation to
what will follow when the entire
400 acres, all of which has been laid
out. shall be developed. This tract
of land was wholly undeveloped, but
there have been installed the best
modern types of sewers, storm
drains, water and gas mains, all con
nected with the systems of Akron,
of which the Heights is a part. Elec
tricity and telephone service as well
as other forms of public service have
been installed, together with con
crete sidewalks, gutters and curbing.
The ma<n thoroughfare is paved with
bricks, whiie the minor thorough
fares are of gravel, the surface of
which is treated with glutrin binder
to prevent dust. The average lots
are 50 feet wide and 100 to 125 feet
deep, providing; proper setting for
the houses and allowing for lawns
and gardens. Space is allowed for
parks, playgrounds, public square,
schools and public buildings.
The dwellings have fireproof ex
terior and are in architectural har
mony, albeit each house has an in
dividuality, as there is a wide range
in the architectural design, construc
tion and material. The whole plot
is landscaped and the houses sell for
81.800 to 82,500 and are sold on easy
ployment, long-term plans worked
out to make it easy for the pur
chaser or rented on reasonable
terms.
This plan was offered by the engi
neer in charge as a possibility for
Sharon and a company was actually
formed to begin a similar work here,
but finally the government, seeing
ihe necessity, stepped in and offered
help. The plan was for the govern
ment to provide 80 per cent, of the
money and the Sharon company the
remaining 20 per cent. After a time,
however, this was abandoned and
the government agreed to do all ♦hei
work, setting aside $1,000,000 for
the purpose.
How this is being used and "he
plans of the government will con
stitute the third and closing article i
of the series.
