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. "After
this war is over we may find it very

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.
