which I hope will be enacted into |

"The mot important of all pro- j

Amend Constitution
N "Among the measures which At
torney General Schaffer and I put'
into final form are the act providing
! for the creation of a commission fo
I study and roport to the next Geri
| eral Assembly upon the subject of
( the revision and amendment to the
1 Constitution of Pennsylvania. This
f act provides Cor the creation of a
| commission of twenty-five to study
i the question of constitutional re
vision and to report to the next Gen
| eral Assembly in 1921. It is my
1 thought that the Legislature of 1921,
' with the report of this Commission
j before it, is the proper body to de
i termine whether a constitutional
j convention should be called or
j whether the Constitution can be!
, wisely amended without putting the!
| state to the expense of a complete I
revision. This act will be intro
| duced by Senator Crow, the Kepub- j
t I loan leader of the State Senate,
state Art Commission
"There has also been put in final
j form the aet creatjng a State Art'
| Commission in the' Department of!
| the Commissioners of Public]
| Grounds and Buildings. This act]
i provides for an Art Commission of!
I five persons to serve far three years.j
I without compensation io whom |
] shall be submitted for approval all]
] public monuments, memorials or

come the property of the Common- i
wealth oty any of its subdivisions.
It contains the provision that no
public monument or memorial shall
be constructed by the state or any
of its subdivisions until the design
and location shall be approved by
the Commission. Tnis act will also
I be introduced by Senator Crow j
To Stop Fake Stock Sales
I "Considerable thought lias bben'
.given by the Attorney General and
me to an act to prevent fraud and'
; deception in the sale of securities. An
act covering this subject was intro
duced by Mr. Vickerman in the sps- j
. sion of 1917, and our study of It led'
us to the conclusion that it was a 1
I well thought out and well drafted j
j measure. It will be submitted by the
Attorney General to the Banking
Commissioner for his opinion on it,
I and if he approves, it will be re
-1 introduced into this Legislature. ,
| "The acts providing for the return
i to the State of a portion of the per
j sonal property taxes have been put
J in final shape and will be introduced
las an administration measure in the
House. i,
"The bill abolishing the office" of |
fire marshal and transferring its I
duties and powers to the office of]
State police, is about readv for in
troduction into the Legislature and]
will very likely be introduced this'
week.
j "The bill providing for the geo

j into the Legislature by Mr. Ramsey
:of my own county, the chairman ot
] the Committee on Mines and Mining
j "The legislation providing for the
construction of the bridge between
j Philadelphia and Camden, we have given
I most careful study too. To provide, as 1
; it must, for joint legislation by our own I
State and the State of New Jersey and I
by the city of Philadelphia, makes it no j
easy task of legislative draftsmanship. |
but we have it in such shape I think !
as that it will be acceptable all around, i
and as soon as the Attorney General
has an interview with the City Solicitor
' of Philadelphia, it will be ready for in
j troduction. epresentatives of the Attor
j ney General's Department have already
j conferred with the Attorney General of
i New Jersey as to the act to be int'ro
j duced In that state. The New Jersey act ]
■ had to be put in shape very quickly. I
i as our information is that to-morrow is '
] the last day for the introduction of bills ]
] in tlie New Jersey Legislature.
Abolish iluiiroiitine l)ar<l
"Another act contemplated is that j
abolishing the State Quarantine Board ]
and providing for the enforcement of
the laws relating to tile state quaran
tine by the State Department of Health.
This act is in tentative form and as
soon as I have the opportunity to go j
over it with Dr. Martin, it can be in
troduced.
Department of Conservation
"One of the most important acts, as
I view it, will he that creating the De
partment of Conservation, which de
partment will be charged with the en
forcement of the laws heretofore en
forced by the Department of Fisheries,
the Department of Forestry, ttie ißoard
of Game Commissioners, the Water Sup
ply Commision and the State Forestry
eservation Commission, which depart
ments, boards and commissioners will
be continued as bureaus in the new de
partment.
"This measure is in line with the pol
icy of proper co-ordination of state de
partments. which I think one of the
very esential things to be accoVnplished.
The drafting of this act involves the
examination of a great number of other
acts and the study that will avoid con-*!
stitutional pitfalls and legislative mix- j
tips. I think the Attorney General will
have this act in shape for introduction I
very shortly.
"Another aet to which we are giving I
great thought is that extending the
powers of the State Police, so as to I
make the State Police a self-centered j
and comprehensive crime-detecting and j
crime-preventing organization. This act I
is_ receiving most careful study and will !
lie ready for introduction I think next
week. ,
I "When these measures are enacted
and the various departments of the
state are co-ordinately working under
them. I believe we will have the best]
organized Commonwealth in the world !
and the most efficient public organiza- I
tion now In existence."

SIX NEW FILTER ii

j would give ample boiler capacity for : l
operating all pumps.
"The second improvement is the j 1
| addition of at least six new filter i ■
j beds at the filter plant. At pres- '
ent we can filter water for all needs I '
when all the filters are in service. ]
If for any reason one or more of the ]
filters should be out of service the ,
capacity is not great enough. With
the additions to the city the demands !
for water are getting greater and i
we should always be a number of j
! years in advance of the demand. ] '
Need of New Alain
"The third improvement is an ad- j
ditional 30-inch force main from the:
1 pumping station at Front and North !
streets up North street to the pres- ] '
! ent distributing main in Fourth '
.street. This would release.:the ,re- j
f turn main from the Reservoir and i
1 give up two force mains clear to the 1
j reservoir. If anything should hap
pen to the present force main from
Front street to Fourth street the city
would be absolutely without water.
This distance suggested is just about
2,000 feet and the matter of mhlt,r
ing this connection was advised by
both Mr. Ledoux who made a sur
vey of the plant and also by Mr.
Shaw, of Lancaster, who ..likewise

Review of Shutdown
A review of the situation in the
city in January, 1918, during the I
serious water shortage which forced!
a general shutdown in the city for
a short time, is given, together with I
a brief summary of the measures j
taken to increase the pumping capa
city by purchasing an electric I
pump. In mentioning the use of a
supply from the Dauphin Consoli
dated Water Company and from
Steelton, Dr. Hassler suggests that _
a street main could be laid con
necting the city lines to the Steelton i
lines. AVhen the borougli south of '
the side furnished Harrisburg with
i water it was done through lire hose
a distance of about 2,0*10 feet. A
| similar connection was made later
i when Steelton faced a shortage of
supply.
The cost of installing the electric
pump was $16,192.26 and of repair
ing No. 3 pump which was out of
service because of a serious break,
$14,418.90. The cost of overhaul- i
ing the two old engines at the pump- 1
ing station was $2,414.97. ,
Water in Riverside
Dr. Hassler gives a statement of ]
the acceptance of new rates as fur- ;
nished by J. W. Ledoux, of Phila
delphia, the engineer employed to ,
make a survey of the water supply
system here. The "ready to serve" '
Charges given by him and his ex- '
planation of them are included. '
With the annexation of the Four- 1
teenth ward the city arranged to !
| purchase the water supply system '

Routine Work
During the year 118 leaks on pri
vate service pipes were inspected and
sixteen of these necessitated shut- |
ting oft the water at the main to
make repairs. Three leaks In street j
mains were repaired, one in a 12-j
inch joint at the Pennsylvania rail- j
road and Paxtop street, one in a 6- ;
inch joint in Hemlock street, and one
in a 6-tiicli joint at-Fourth and Ma

were reported also.

LAWMAKERS WILL
GET NO SUFFRAGE BILL
[Continued front First Page.]
\\a*i county, who will handle the
suffrage legislation. On next Mon
day night Mr. Ramsay will present
a resolution v proposing an amend-!
nient to the State constitution call
ing for women's suffrage. That l'es- i
olution must pass the 1919 and
1921 sessions of the Legislature and |
then go to the people for their ap- ]
proval in the fall of 1921.
Suffragists Make Claim
The suffragists claim that the 1
Ramsay resolution will pass the I.eg
islature. The anti-suffrage women. 1
led here by Miss Eliza D. Armstrong,
of Pittsburgh, say the suffragists
will be surprised in the result in the
Pennsylvania Legislature. The talk
heard here is that the Republican
organization will favor the Ramsay
resolution and that he would not
have agreed to have introduced the
resolution if it were not to be sup
ported in that way.
Several prominent Republicans,
who always go along on State or
ganization matters, are saying tliey
will not vote for any kind of suf
frage legislation. As against th&t is
heard the talk that the Republican
leaders can pass any responsible
legislation they sponsor and Mr.
Ramsay is one of their leading
spokesmen on the floor of the j
llouse.
Mr. Ramsay is the leader, also, i
of the forces Who were opposed to j
ratification of the national prohi- j
bitiou amendment. That lends an j
additional angle of thought to the |
matter. A majority of the dry niefn- '
bers are <! aimed for suffrage at any ]
and all times and if the wet mem
bets. or any considerable number !
of them follow the Ramsay lend ;
there is little apparent doubt rela- !
tive to the chances of the Ramsay J
resolution'in lite House.
Tntincdiatc Action Unlikely j
Immediate action is hardly likely i
because hearings will be asked and j
the matter threshed out by the !
women orators on the.'.twp sides'to
the question. In the last session
when a similar resolution was up for
consideration, the rcsoluttop wtrt de
feated at the last minute, owing, it
was said, to some statements made
by suffrage leaders, . -•
The action of tTKr suffrage le-aders
on Presidential suffrage., 1.4 expected
to strengthen fheii etianees here.
There was much opposition to the'
women voting next ..year the!
Presidential election In Pennsylva
nia.. It was considered too immedi
ate. The opposition came from some ]
of those who will support the Ram
say resolution.

Alake Rapid Progress
The progress in the work of fyum- '
! ing the peace treaty cpisures eomple- !
ition of the task by March 20. The I
first rough draft will be in readiness '
when President Wilson arrives in i
France on Thursday, and tlie re-i
vision will be concluded before the 1
20tli. It is the present purpose of I
the Peueo Conference to call the i
Germans to Versailles probably from I
March 22 to March 25. The docu- i
nient then will he delivered to lite j
German delegates and in case they ]
are not prepared to sign it at once I
they will be given opportunity to re
[ turn to Germany to consider it and
return for the formal signing at Ver- i
sallies.
This plan obviates the necessity ]
of holding sessions for debute at I
Versailles and restricts the functions!
to be conducted with the Germans
to tlie delivery of the document and
their returh for its signature or such '
| other action as they desire to take. •

It Is expected that these conferences j
of the government heads will grad- j
vtally take the place of the council '
I of the great powers, which experi- I
