TUESDAY EVENING, BARRISBUEG TELEGRAPH . MAY T3, 1919 WILLSON BILL PASSES SENATE j Measure Repealing Nonparti san Law For Third Class Cities Through The Willson bill repealing the I nonpartisan provision for third class citv elections, was passed finally by the Senate last evening, 33-12, and j Harrisburg will go back to its old ! elections along party lines if the Governor signs the bill. There was no debate and little \ concentrated opposition to the measure, although Senator Barr, I Allegheny, presented a paper against I the bill from the Pittsburgh Cham ; ber of Commerce. The measure now goes to the Governor for his sig j nature. It was found necessary to amend, for tvpograpniral errors, the Powell bill prov ding for an additional troop of State police, but the meas ure will be up to-day for final pas sage. and favorable action is cer | ta'n. The Senate passed finally more than a score of bills, including the House measure reorganizing the Ad jutant General's Department. A House resolution which makes to morrow a legal holiday, "Welcome Home Day," was confirmed by the ] Senate. I Senator Smith, Dauphin, present ed a bill including sheriffs and cor oners in the act authorizing the courts of common pleas, on the sale of real estate for surety, for the sheriff or coroner, on petition to release the lien on said real estate. A measure providing for such in struction in the public schools as I shall be conducive to the habit of consistent and intelligent voting, in troduced by Senator Woodw r ard, of Philadelphia. Other new measures introduced include the following: Senator Homsher, I-ancaster— Fixing the fees of interpreters in actions conducted before mavois or lesser officers, at $2 per day. Senator Shantz. Lehigh-—Appor tioning a State pension of $5 per month to all Pennsylvania veterans of the Civil War. Senator Patton, Philadelphia— Defining desertion as a misdemeanor and providing a maximum penalty of one year in prison. Bleached Flour Bill Is Vetoed The bill to authorize the use of "bleaching" processes in manufac ture of flour, etc., was vetoed by Governor Sproul with the declara tion: "In my opinion the pure food . laws of this Commonwealth should 1 not be tampered with, and instead of being weakened by amendment they should be strengthened where possible." The Governor wrote: "Nothing is more important to the people than that they should have pure foods and one of the assurances to them that they will have is adequate laws providing against food adulteration." The Governor vetoed the bill rela tive to payments of school funds to districts wh.ose schoolhouses are de stroyed by fire with the remark that it changed discretion of the ; State Superintendent to a mandate and that he saw no reason for a change. The bill allowing boards of vis itors to inspect jails outside of their counties was vetoed with the com ment that there is no reason for spending money to send boards all over the State and that "in these days when economy ought to be practiced such a measure goes in the wrong direction." Governor Sproul announced his approval of the Dunn House bill providing for refunding of liquor licenses, fees and additional taxes to persons and firms prevented from business by War Department or ders relative to vicinity of military establishments. The Governor also approved the bill providing for the Auditor Gen eral to appoint five mercantile ap praisers at $5,00 salary in Alle gheny county. He will also appoint the clerks.

BUILDING CALLS FOR BIG FUNDS Reports Sh o w Hcav y . Drains on Building Associations Washington, May 13.—1n making a nation-wide survey, of building conditions, the United States De partment of Labor recently sent out • questionnaires to several thousand j building and loan associations. | These questionnaires covered in i quiries concerning assets, the aver i age amount of loans made each | year, applications for 1919, the pos sibility of increasing demands for I loans and opinions concerning the | proposed system of Federal Home I loan banks. I Returns disclosed that more than I forty per cent, of the building as sociations have not sufficient avail able funds to meet the desirable ap plications for loans that are com ing in as a result of the shortage of houses and the general revival of construction activities. While the building associations of the country are reported on a sound financial , basis their present difficulties are ] due to the facts that they have enormous investments and that the long time mortgages representing large amounts are not negotiable at commercial banks. The movement to establish Fed eral Home Loan Banks is approved by a majority of the associations that returned answers to the ques tionnaire. Out of 1,200 thus far re ceived less than ten per cent of the associations represented are opposed to the plan. An answer that is typical of the attitude of associa tions that are financially independ ent came from the west. "Our or | ganization does not need a Federal Home Loan Bank system at this time." writes the secretary, "but it will be helpful to those who do and the time may come when we shall be glad to take advantage of It." According to recent, estimates made by the Division of Public | Works and Construction Develop | ment, of the Department's Informa j tion and Education Service, there are now in the United States 7,- 2fi9 building and loun associations with paid-in capital stock amount ing to $ 1,303.770,845, the invest ment in building association stock having increased last year $145,- 000,000. Available statistics show I that the normal requirements of the I building and loan associations be ! fore the war called for loanable | funds amounting to approximately $500,000,000 per annum, which 1 could be supplied by the savings de partments of these organizations. The solution of the problem of how I to supplement the ordinary income [ of the building and loan associa tions in places where the demand 1 for small mortgage loans might be greatly in excess of the supply of money is now sought in the Fed eral Home Loan Banks. In view of flic shortage of houses estimated at something like 1.000,000, the de mands on the buildinV and loan as sociations are likely to be heavier than ever before. Increases in build ing operations l'or April were so marked that the business of the as sociations in certain parts of the country was reported to be of un usual volume. Millions Are Due Soldiers Forced to Build Roads Washington, May 13.—Northern soldiers who were not permitted to go to France, but were kept in the South working as common laborers in the construction of an elaborate system of public highways for the Southern States, are to receive sev eral millions of dollars back pay for their work as laborers. These mil lions represent the difference be tween S3O a month, a private's pay, and $4.50 to $6 a day, the wages of negro labor employed side by side with the soldiers in highway con struction in the South. The back pay will be paid by the Government, but it will be charged up against the Southern States, which thought they were to enjoy having model highways built by Northern soldiers and paid by the War Department at a wage of S3O a month. The amount due the North ern soldiers will be deducted from the Southern States' share of the $200,000,000 provided for in the postoffice appropriation bill for Fed eral aid to States in highway con struction. One of the most notable examples of road building to come to the at tention of Congress was that con necting the city of Washington with Camp Humphrey, Va. This piece of construction is almost a model of road building and will form a large I link in the highway system to con nect the national capital with Rich mond. It was constructed partly by enlisted engineers and partly by negro labor. One of the principal units en gaged in this piece of road building was a company of Wisconsin engi neers enlisted from Wisconsin Uni versity. These men, according to Senator LaFollette, worked twelve and thirteen hours a day and re ceived S3O a month, while negro laborers working beside them, re ceived 45 cents an hour. These sol diers were kept at this work until several months after the armistice was signed and were only recently mustered out. Leaves Million to Improve Philadelphia Philadelphia, May 13.—Nearly $1,000,000 is bequeathed in the will of Thomas Skelton Harrison, for mer American minister and consul general to Egypt, for a trust fund to be used in improving govern mental conditions in Philadelphia. Mr. Harrison died a week afeo. The testament provides for a board of seven men to apply part of the income to the fund to pro cure honest and impartial enforce ment of all contracts made by the city, for furnishing labor, erection of buildings and other public im provements, cleaning of streets, re moval of garbage, furnishing water, gas, electricity and transportation facilities.
