up ao-j asked the House to agree to all
bills on third reading so that the vote
on final passage could be taken up im
mediately, there began a chorus of
"Ayes" from all quarters of the room

"Hail, Hail, the G li Here,"
"Old Black Joe," ' u»n i'ou Wore a

AWAITS WORD FROM THE
OWNER OFHOFFMAN WOODS
Local Agent, Apparently, Is Willing to
Sell Plot to the City at f4,000 an
Acre, the Price Suggested Through
Mayor Royal
Since it became known that the City
is willing to consider buying a part of
the seventeen acre tract in Hoffman's
woods as a playground at a rate not to
exceed $4,000 ay acre, instead of pay.
• n S $9,000 an acre for land at Fifth
and Emerald streets, w'hieih Park Com
missioner Taylor wants the City to pur
chase, the Harrisburg agent of "the Hoff
man woods land owners is making every
effort to effect the transaction.
At the direction of the local agent a
survey of the woods has been made and
sent to the owuers of the ground, wbo
live in Pittsburgh. This was accom
panied by notice of the City's [-osslble
desire for the ground. A reply to that
letter has not vet been received here,
tout the agent said to day he experts
word fron\ the owners within a dav or
two.
The plan to buy a [art of Hoffman's
woods was suggested by Mayor Royal
after Park Commissioner Taylor intro
duced an ordinance at a recent meeting,
of the City Commissioners providing fot.
the purchase of a three-acre plot at
Fifth and Emerald street, in the Tenth
ward, and fixing the purchase price at
>27,000. Later the consideration was
reduced to $26,000 and subsequently
Taylor decided that he wanted only
trifle moTe than half the ground for
which he wants to pay $14,i00.
The local representative of the es
tate expressed hope this morning that
some definite action will be taken by
the owners before next Tuesday's
meeting of the City Commissioners,
although this may not be possible in
view of the necessity of getting a
number of signers to an agreement to
sell.
The City Commissioners last Tues
day postponed action on the Tavlor
ordinance providing for the purchase
of the $9,000-an-acre site at Fifth and
Emerald streets, with the hope that a
better offer could be obtained on the
woods property.

mined on a State-Wide Basis
The Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce has requested a "key rate" for
fire insurance for Harrisburg from the
Board of Underwriters of the Middle
District of Pennsylvania, and former
Deputy Attorney General Jesse E. B.
Cunningham, in a speech to-day to
nearly one hundred members of the
Chamber, at a noon luncheon in the
•Harrisburg Club, explained how such
rates are made.
He described fire insurance as a tax
levied to provide for fire losses, saying
that the rate, or tax as he styled it,
must be uniform, reasonable and ade
quate; uniform for the same kinds of
risks, reasonable from the standpoint
of the men taking out insurance and
adequate to assure the solvency of the
insurance company for the length of
time the policy runs.
He took up the physical eaxmination
of a city, such as Harrisburg expel.-
enced within two years when a number
.of engineers from the National Board
of Fir# Underwriters came here to
examine and report on local fire condi
tions. He then described how the flat
rate established by the underwriters is
increahed or decreased on account of
the physical defects of a city.
He occasioned a laugh when he an
nounced that Pittsburgh was penalized
four cents because the fire department
politically controlled.
