STATE NEEDS THE BIG BOND ISSUE Sproul Says Roads Can Not Be Built Without Larger Amounts of Money Senator William C. Sproul, Repub lican nominee for governor, is hope- j ful the Pennsylvania electors will: this fall approve the constitutional amendment authorizing the issuing of $50,000,00(\ worth of bonds to be used in the improvement of state highways, says the Pittsburgh Gaz ette-Times. While he finds some op position to the proposition among: members of the Grange he believes a majority will be returned in favor of the amendment. "The voting of authority to issoe bonds does not mean that the money is to be spent during these abnormal times," said Senator Sproul.

FRIDAY EVENING. convenient in Pennsylvania to have a large fund to be used in giving work to the unemployed. At the last ses l sion of the Legislature I succeeded in having a law put on the books which 1 provides that during periods of ex traordinary unemployment, caused by industrial depression, state money can be spent on necessary public works. The administration of tho fund would be in the hands of the Emergency Public Works Commis sion composed of the Governor, Au ditor Genera!. State Treasurer and Commissioner of the Department of j Labor and Industry. The expendi ' ture of the $50,000,000 for roads i could be placed in the hands of this commission and the money used for road building at a time when ade quate return would be gotten by the state. "Some people have the impression that $50,000,000 is an enormous sum. They have not stopped to consider it in the light of present day expendi tures of the Federal government. It lis costing $18,000,000,000 a year or ! about $50,000,000 a day to keep the machinery moving. It must be re membered that Pennsylvania is con tributing one-tenth of the cost of the government, so that every 10 days the people of this state are tossing $50,000,000 into the Federal hopper. With this in mind, the $50,000,000 bond issue scattered over a term of years is not much of an obliga tion for Pennsylvania to assume."

BDLRRISBTTRG TEL&GRAP3 ST. PAUL RAISED IN NORTH RIVER Vessel Was Turaed "Over at Her Pier on the 25th of April New York. After nearly Ave months of difficult salvage work, the men engaged in raising the Amer ican liner St. Paul have the vessel on an even keel. The St. Paul has been lying in the slip of Pier 61, North river, since April 25, the day she suddenly capsized and sank while being tbwed to her berth from a Brooklyn dock. The task of raising her has been one of the most diffi cult ever undertaken in this port, because the salvors had had such a narrow body of water in which to do their work. It has also been a costly contract and it is possible that nearly $1,000,000 will be paid out before the St. Paul is ready for sea again. Three members of her crew and one drydock employe were lost when the St. Paul sank, and the injured numbered six On board the vessel at the time was a naval gun crew of forty-five officers and men, and about half of her regular crew, to gether with about 150 workmen. The accident was regarded by the authorities as a peculiar one in that the vessel had apparently not been in any difficulty just before she sank. It was believed by shipping men that the vessel's sea cocks had been in advertently left open on the port side and that the tanks had filled while the vessel was coming up the river. As she turned into her slip her bal ance was destroyed, and she went over suddenly. The military authori ties immediately took charge of the vessel, and no official explanation of the accident has ever been made. The St. Paul was built at Philadel phia in_ 1895. She is registered at 10,230 gross tons, is 535.5 feet long, and has a G3-foot beam. Her speed and the accuracy of her naval gun crew has saved her several times from German U-boats.
