Steelton News Items PLAN TO BOOST LIBERTY LOAN Committee Will Meet in Near Future to Plan New Campaign Plans are rapidly being developed to put the borough "over the top" in the Fourth Liberty Loan cam paign which will start in the near future. Frank A. Robbihs Jr., chair man of the Liberty Loan committee, intends to call a meeting of that body in the near future, when he will outline his plans for the big drive. A number of prominent bus inessmen of the town have been in terviewed recently with a view to the support which the loan can ex pect, and all declare the outlook to be equally as good as for the past issues. The fact that bonds of the first issue recently reached the high mark of 102.50 on the New York Stock Exchange indicates a firm confi dence in the allies success in tfto war. and will undoubtedly tend to push' the other issues to par or above in the near future. Many persons about the town are of the opinion that the chance to buy bonds again will be snatched at quickly by peo ple who lacked the confidence to invest in previous campaigns when the fortunes of the allied nations were at a low ebb. Miss Gladys Emrick, of Chamokin, who was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. M. \V. Emrick for the past week, left to-day for her home.

BOROUGH FACES A WATER BOOST Action Likely in View of In creased Costs; Paving Measure Squashed An Increase of 20 per cpnt. in Steelton's water rate was asked for by the water board at last night's council meeting, on the plea that the present rates are unable to meet the increased cost of labor and main tenance. The proposed rates under the new schedule arc as follows: Twenty-five cents per thousand gallons instead of twenty cents: minimum rate per year to be $lO instead of s'B; an advance of one cent per thousand gallons in the rate to manufacturers bringing the minimum to six cents instead of five cents. Under the present rates, accord ing to Chairman Roberts of the wa ter board, the department faces an annual deficit of at least $3,000. The new rates will just enable the department to come out eeven. / Contrary to general expectation, council refused to pass either of two ordinances offered for the paving of South Front street. Patriotism was thereason given for the action. Pres ident Neiley stating that in view of the high cost of materials and the scarcity of labor, It would no doubt work a hardship on firms in the vicinity actually engaged In essen tial industries. It was decided how ever to immediately make tempor ary repairs and these will b.e started at once. ! Final action on the measure to tax trolley cars on a flat rate basis, was deferred at the request pf the Har risbuiyt Railways Company's attor ney. The railways company charge that its original agreement with the borough called for a fixed sum of money to be paid in a lump such which should exempt the company from future taxation. Attorney Bailey asked council if they intended to look upon the orig inal contract as a "scrap of paper," as "our friends across the water (Germany) have done." He said that if the matter were considered in a fair play light, the measure would surely be defeated. Lower-End Man Is Wounded "Over There" ARNOLD S.
