CRAWFORD'S DEATRCAUSED
BY A FRACTURED SKULL
Highspire Man Lost His Balance on
Tilted Platform and Pinned Down '
Steep Roof to Ground, a Distance
of About Forty-five Feet
Elmer Crawford, a structural iron
worker, employed by the Pennsylvania
Steel Company, was instantly killed
yesterday afternoon when he lost his
balance on a scaffold, slid down the
steep roof over the casting house at ihc ,
new blast furnace and dropped to ttie
ground, a distance of nearly forty-live
feet, fracturing his skull.
Crawford was employed in riveting
• the metal sheeting forming the root ;
over the casting shed. In doing this
work he and another man stood on a
scaffold supported by ropes fastened to
the cone of the roof. When the section
on wfrk'h the men were working had
been completed, Crawford's companion
descended from the scaffold, while the i
former made preparations to change the !
swinging platform to another part of i
the roof.
It was while doing this that one end
of the scaffold tilted, causing the man
to fall forward and being unable to!
grasp anything to which he could hold,
his body plunged over the root' and to
the ground, his head coming in con
tact with a railway tracts \ hich had
just been laid. He was picked up t>y
fellow employes and conveyed to the
local hospital, but was found" to be d?ad '
before that institution was reached. '
Crawford, with his wife and fou>
children, resided at Market and Lumber :
streets. Highspire.

FORESTER WOULD SPEND

OUT HASjn GOT A CENT
Coatluued From First Pace.
new forestry department, of necessity,
is costing the City something and that
expenses, for which no provision was
made when the annual budget was pre
pared at the beginning of the new year,
are now making their appearance in the
natural course of events.
"How far will that $2,000 go?"
laughingly remarked the Forester as he
repeated a question that was put to
him. "Oh, possibly I can find employ
ment for three men for two or three
months on that.
"What amount of work could be
done in those few months on that $2,-
000 appropriation?" was another
question.
"We would continue our work of
cleaning up Front street park and
l»ossiblv cover the section between
Mulberry and State street this year.
But I have expended SSOO already.
My men were paid out of the park
funds and I don't know whether Mr.
Taylor will want that SSOO back for
his department. If he does it will be
a »ad day for the forestry bureau."
Costs $5 to $8 per Tree
Mr. Mueller compared himself, in
his bureau's financial difficulties—
much work and no money—to the
penniless urchin who stands before the
show window and, being unable to buy
must be content merely with looking.
The forester is eager to remove the
poplar trees from the city. He argues
that they lack beauty, are not good
for shade, and by their fast spreading
roots clog and damage sewers and
break concrete sidewalks and cellar
floors.
He said that 20,000 of the 50,000
trees in Harrisburg arc* poplars and
that to remove these would cost from
7
$5 to $8 a tree. Even at the minimunt
price per tree, it would cost the city
SIOO,OOO. But that is only part of
the work Mr. Mueller would like to
carry out—if he had the money.
Several hundred dead or dying treei
he said, must be removed sooner or
later if the city wants to escape pav
ing damages to persons and property,
due to these trees falling over. Then
there are several hundred letters on
the forester's desk—all requests from
Harrisburgers who want shade trees
pruned and treated.
And there is a whole lot more work
the forester said he could mention, but
he declined to do so, saying the sub
ject is painful because he has no
budget.
