NEW PARK PLOT MEETS
WITH GENERAL FAVOR
Superintendent Downcs En
dorses Project Without Res
ervation, and Board Mem
bers Sec an End to Vexing
Problems
MANNING HAS DRAWN
PLANS FOR THE PARK
There was very general ap
proval throughout the city to
day of the comprehensive and
attractive proposition submit
ted to the City Council and the
School Board by the City Plan
ning Commission. It is uni
versally considered as another
big step forw-ard in the develop
ment of Harrisburg. In the pub
lic mind not only does it con
template an available and prop-
I < r site for the modern university
1 high school project, but pro
j vides for another fresh-air resort
; in the Italian Park and lake plan
| for the rapidly-increasing popu
! lation of the western section of
[ the city.
"This Is an opportunity which
comes to a city once in a hundred
years, perhaps," said a prominent
j citizen to-day, "and it would be most
I unfortunate should anything occur
I to prevent the consummation of a
1 development at once constructive
j and attractive."
A Generous Offer
Among those who are able to
judge of real estate values the offer
! of the McKee-Oraham estate is look-
I ed upon as an unusually generous
i one which ought to be accepted
without the slightest hesitation,
j "M.v opinion is that there is a good
i deal of sentiment represented in this
I generous offer of the Pittsburgh
I owners," said one familiar with the
] estate. "This is an expression of a
' long-time interest in Harrisburg and
| is a bit of "auld lang syne" injected
I into a real estate transaction."
j The original owners of the Mo
i Kee-Graham property were resi
! dents of Harrisburg and they have
j maintained right along an interest
In the development of the city. It
is said that the offer of |2,250 an
acre to the school district would
never have been made to a private
purchaser. Persons familiar with
real estate values declare that the
opportunity to purchase 40 acres for
the present and future use of the
university high school at a price ap
proximating J85.000 ought not to be
Inst. No other site In Harrisburg
is so available from every standpoint
inasmuch as the heavy growth of
trees in the Hoffman's Woods sec
tion of the tract provides immedi
ately a superior campus for the girls
Innd hoys who will attend the high
school. This of itself is an import

TRAIN TERMINAL
AFIRE AS SPARK
IGNITES GREASE
Hundreds of Lives in Peril
Are Saved by Work of
New York Firemen
Wv Associated Press.
New York, July 2. Fire at the
south ferry terminal of the city's
elevated structure to-day destroyed
one train and part of another. Both
trains were carrying passengers.
Many of them on hoard, a large
number of whom were women, had
narrow escapes.
They were rescued by firemen
who raised ladders to the top of the
elevated structure and carried them
to the ground. Reports that several
persons had been killed had not been
verified a half hour after the Arc
started.
The flames are believed to have
started when an electric spark
Ignited grease which had accumu
lated under one of the curs, spread
to the building which serves as the
terminal for the municipal ferries I
from Siaten Island and South |
Brooklyn. Firemen feared this j
structure would he destroyed.
Within Ave minutes after the Are !
started tip* flames hud run along |
the elevated structure for the full
length of both trains and three
aturms were turned in.
Passengers leaped from the plat
forms of tho burning curs onto the
J biasing trestle and run madly along
(the tracks in an effort to outdis
j tunce the flumes. But for the speed
, with which the llrmen raised their
j ladders and took them down it is
I believed many would have jumped
I Into the street below.
At the terminus of the elevated
structure Is an ofttoe of the Inter
borough Rapid Transit Company.
Th's also caught tire, and the clerks
and Stenographers sprung from tho
windows onto the roof of u train
shed and thence climbed down lad
ders into the street.
