Biil to License Architects

CITY'S TAX RATE
TO BE NO LOWER

said they arc desirous of cutting down
the millage although. they add, there
is little hope of accomplishing .1 de
crease if the desired departmental
changes a'e to be made. Several rea
sons already have been assigned for
keeping the taxes at the >ame rate as
during the present nine month period.
Say More Police Are Needed
Half a do/en policemen were added
to the force during the present year;
several others must be added this year;
any surplus money the city might have
had through the large lax rate in the
present nine-month yei-.r was absorbed
through the payment of deficiencies
which had been accumulating for ten
or more years and additional street
lights will increase the expenditures.
These are but 1 few causes of prob
able increases in the citv's liabilities
and are in addition to lliose incurred
through the employment of additional
help iu the several departments. There
has been some talk of raising tiie sal
ary ot the chiet of police, who now
gets but $ 1.300. although no one com
missioner yet has indicated who will
lather the ordtnauce providing for the
increase.
Ihe erection of four reinforced
concrete and steel girder bridges over
Paxton creek are improvements which
it is^ planned shall be carried under the
1915 budget. Along with that comes
the lighting of the river front. City
officials now are of opinion that the
eity alone is liable for the construction
ot bridges over Paxton creek, despite
the fact that legal action was begun
to have the court decide whether the
city or the county is bound to finance
the improvement.'
Bridge Ordinauce Is Passed
The bridges are to cross the creek
at Mulberry. \\ alnut, Cumberland and
Reily Streets. The one at Mulberry
street will have a sixteen foot drive
way with a four-foot walk, while the
rest will have only a twelve-foot drive
way with a tour-foot sidewalk.
An ordinance providing for these
improvements was introduced bv High
wav Commissioner Lynch a week ano
and was passed tinailv to-day. The
measure gives to the 'Board of Public
Works the power and authority to con
struct the bridges and it is now be
ie\ed that the work can be done for
so,ooo or loss.
ith a \ iew to appointing i\ commis
sion of three members whose ilutv it
shall be to supervise the planting:'and
trimming of shade trees and the care of
them, the City Commissioners this aft
ernoon decided to confer next Tuesdav
with . Horac** McFarland. of this citv,
tormer member and president of the
> i'ty Park Commisoiou and one time
president of the National Civic Asso
eiation.
I'iie shade tree -ommissiou bill passed
by the Legislature in 1907 was drawn
by Mr. McKariand and it is his inter
pretation of that act which the City
Commissioners now seek. Before the
Commissioners appoint a Shade Tree
Commission it is necessary for the City
to accept tiie provisions of the a<-t of
190,/ although before doing so they
want to be more familiar with its • re
visions.
More of River Front Is Sought
One provision of the measure directs
that the cost of planting shade trees
and tearing up and rebuilding sidewalks
incident thereto, shall l>e home bv the
property owner, the city thereafter to
jay ;he c»s; of maintenance. The com
missioners 0 >jeot to one |>ropertv owner
paying for the tree and another getting
the shade.
1 ;ty Solicitor fllHl also will be ask
ed to attend the next meeting of the
City Commission and to suggest the ad
visable procedure under which the eitv
may acquire the ground on the west
side of Front street as far as the river
edge, between Kelker and Ma-lay
streets. Commissioner Taylor said his
men are working in that vicinity and
have been ordered by '' certain property
owners to stop. The park employes
are scraping the bank and planting
shrubbery.
The Solicitor, in a communication,
suggested Vhat the city may follow- one
of three plans; Condemn the ground
under a -treet evening ordinance, have
the Sheriff soil the ground on paving
liens levied agaiust the property, or ac
cept deeds from the property owners
under the condition that the paving as
sessment on the west side of the street
ue paid by the city.
The plan to send a movie film, show
ing Harrisourg industries aud street
scenes, to the Panama' Pacific exposition,
in San Kraucis o. Cal„ in 1915, has
l>een abaudoued 011 the ground it would
uot beneiit the city. The film would
nave cost something iike SIOO.
City Sealer's Annua! BejJort
Harry D. Reel. City Sealer of Weights
and Measures, to-dav su-bmitted his an
nual report to the Citv Commissioners.
He made 6.37 4 indirections, sealed 5.-
664 weights and measures and con
deinned 710. He made -65 visits to the
markets, brought four suits against
dealers, resulting in three convictions
an.l one aequittal. The Commissioners
hinted that as soon as it is possible to
get the proper typo of scales, a sugges
tion of the sealer to place municipal
scales in the markets will be adopted.
COST OF HAI LING FOOD MET
Funds Available in London to Pay For
Transportation of Belgium Supplies
The cost of transportation on every
bit of footl sent from Pennsylvania or
any other State for the. relief of the
Belgians will be paid from a fund
whi'h has been assured in London, and
to-day Herbert Hoover, of the United
States legation in London, who has
been a.-tive in securing relief for the
starving Belgians, sent the following
cablegram to Governor Tener:
"We have been en.lowed with funds
for sole purpose of paying transport
on foodstuffs front i-eutral points in
your State and others to Belgium;
therefore every pound of foodstuffs
which can be subscribed or purchased
in your State will reach the people of
Belgium without transportation i-ost to
your people. lowa. California. Minne
sota and many others are giving us
most gratifying support. Cable address

Maid Sent Buck to Now York
The mai«i was ignorant of the arrest
of tii" two men and having heard noth
ing <" them since they left her a: tito
hotel she thought they had deserted Iter
and she applied for assistance tn gel
ling back 10 New \ ork. The police
were satisfied with her story mid Ins:
night sent her home, after she prom
ised to refund the money advanced for
carfare. The chauffeur ha- not bee i
seen since the arrest of the two othe
men. and it is believed that he. leanr
iug what kind of business the men
were engage! in, left the city. The mil
chine, which broke down in Trenton,
has been shipped to Chicago, the police
believe.
Mere disclosures were made tin
morning on disco\ cring some papers
and a bank book hidden at the police
station, A hank book showed another
take SI,OOO deposit was made in a
second Harrisburg bank. The police
suspected this seeond deposit because
the man had blank cheeks on the bank,
but they were uuahle to tin.l the bank
book until to-day. rhe account \\a*
made out in the name of I>illle. the
alias that Mercer is said to have
used.
VNith the recently discovered bank
book was a trunk check. The trunk was
lifted this morning by the police and
taken to headquarters. Mercer an < I
Ueßruii was placed in the detectivnV
office at police headquarters before thev
were committed to jail on Saturday
night and it is believed that one of
the men hid t hbankbook away while
sitting in that room.
In response to a telegram sent to At
lantic City asking if ;t ny • ••bad check
men had been working there.—sent
to that pfllco after Mercer told a story
about being in Atlantic City,—a mes
sage from the seashore city requesting
pictures of the prisoners for identifica
tion was received here.
Appearing in the confidential police
bulletin issued by the New York police
department on November 7, is a de
scription of a man whose arrest is de
sired in that city. The police say the
description fits Leßrun. On wiring New
ork. Chief of Police Hutchison learn
ed that a man answering the descrip
tion of Leßrun worked a worthless
check tor $-15 on A. F. Bleiweiss. a
fur dealer, of 10 West Twenty ninth
street, that city. A fur cost was pur
chased with the check. Both men. a■-
cording to the police, ami Mrs. Le-
Brun, have expensire fur coats.
The police believe that Harrisburg
would have been flooded with had
checks on Saturday night, if the ar
rests had not been made after bad
checks had been passed in two in
stances. Believiug that this city was
an "easy mark," the police say, the
men subsequently arrested, started to
work soon after the banks liad closed
at noon. Their game was blocked,
however, after it was learned that a
check on a Jacksonville, Fla.. bank,
which they hail deposited in » local
bank so that they could draw against
it when making purchases from loca.
merchants, was worthless. The worth
lessuess of the Jacksonville check wiis
ascertained when the Harrisburg bank
telephoned to Jacksonville. The men
will have a hearing to-morrow after
noon.
