DRAG RESERVOIR
FOR ABSENT MAN
Friends Worried Over Disap
pearance of Dauphin
Cbunty Citizen
Lewistown, Pa., Sept. 6.—The
reservoir near Granville has been
dragged in order to ascertain
whether John Smith, a Dauphin
county man, who has not been seen
since August 24, was foully dealt
with and his body thrown into the
water. He was seen on that day
between this place and Granville.
He had left a westbound Pennsyl
vania railroad train at Granville sta
tion and started for a lumber camp
four miles distant, but he did not
reach there, according to the best
information obtainable. A mile from
the station he was observed carry
ing a suit case. It was known that
he had with him between $l5O and
$2OO when last seen.
The road to the camp is one
little frequented, and It would have
been an easy matter for some one
to have held Smith up and robbed
him. The road has been traversed
several times in the hope that some
trace may have been left of him,
but nothing has been found. Friends
have offered a reward of $lOO for
information concerning him,

STREET PAVING
WAS HIT HARD
Work Last Year Affected by
War Conditions—Erie
Leads Now
Conditions in the material market
and tha labor situation held down
the improvement of streets in the
third-class cities of the State to a
very large extent during 1918, ac
cording to figures issued to-dav by
the Department of Internal Affairs.
During last year there were only six
miles of improved street paving laid
in 31 of the 34 third-class cities of the
State against 21 miles in 1917 and
38 miles in 1916.
"From figures received bv our bu
reau of municipalities," said Secre
tary James F. Woodward, "we be
lieve that street paving is going
ahead this year in the third-class
cities, especially those which con
nect with the first-class highway
system and where the State High
way Department is reconstructing.
The data compiled by J. H.
Knisely, chief of the bureau of mu
nicipalities, shows that of the ap
proximate total of six miles of streets
paving in third-class cities in 1918,
two and one-half miles were com
pleted within the limits of the city
of Erie in sections where the Gov
ernment erected some houses. The
remaining mileage was scattered
among almost a dozen other cities
With its paving extension in 1918.
Erie became the leading third-class
city of the State insofar as paving
mileage is concerned, taking the
honors away from Harrisburg. The
paving report issued in 1918 showed
Harrisburg on the top of the list with
76.93 mUes of paving and Etie next
with 75 miles. This latest report,
however, showing figures for 1918,
gives Erie 77.5 and Harrisburg 77.05,
the northwestern city leading by less
than a half mile.
Erie to Front
The city of Erie likewise leads the
paving yardage list with a total of
1,457,916 square yards and Harrisburg
is second with a total or 1,225,828
square yards. In this classification,
Chester is third on the list with 867,-
000 square yards; Wilkes-Barre is
fourth with 803,035.85 square yards,
and Altoona fifth with 779,380 square
yards but in mileage tabulations the
Delaware county city is down to
seventh place and Wilkes-Barre is in
fourth place with Altoona holding
the third honors. With less square
yardage than either Wilkes-Barre or
Chester, Altoona has 53.21 miles of
paving; WHkes-Barre, 50.89 miles;
Johnstown, 45.28 miles; Allentown,
40.57 miles, and Chester, 40 miles. A
wider space between curbs in parts
of Chester is responsible in a large
measure for the high square yard
age and low mileage.
Mileage in the third-class cities 'of
the State ranges from approximate
ly one-half mile to more than 77
miles, and the square yardage has a
range of from 22,620 to 1,457,916
square yards. The total paving mile
age in the cities of the third class at
present is well over 700 miles, while
the square yardage runs considerably
over 10,000,000.
A wide variety of paving: ma
terials issued in street improvement
in the various third-class cities but
brick is used by most of the cities.
However, there are probably more
square yards of asphalt than any
other material. The principal kind
of pavement in use in the cities prior
to January 1, 1919, follows: Allen
town, asphalt; Altoona, brick, as
phalt and bitulithic; Bethlehem,
amiesite; Bradford, brick; Carbon
dale, brick; Chester, asphalt; Coat.es
ville, bitulithic; Connellsville, brick;
Corry, brick; D'ußois, brick; East on,
brick; Erie, asphalt; Franklin, brick;
llarrisburg, asphalt; Hazelton, brick
and bicomac; Johnstown, brick and
asphalt; Lancaster, brick; Lebanon,
wood block; Lock Haven, brick; Me-
Keesport, brick; Meadville, brick;
New Castle, brick; Oil City, brick;
Pittston, brick; Pottsville, wood
block; Reading, vitrified brick, as
phalt, hot mix; Williamsport, brick;
York, asphalt
Two of the cities, Erie and Harris
burg, where asphalt is the principal
kind of paving material used, own and
operate asphalt plants.
The paving tabulations made by
Mr. Knisely's bureau go into details
of paving construction and mainten
ance and show at a glance the cost
of materials, repairs, cleaning and as
sessment of costs In the various
cities.
