WEST DONEGAL STREET
Three Mount Joy men, accused of
stealing an automobile here Tuesday
night and later failing to pay for five
gallons of gasoline obtained in East Pe-

The machine the property of Michael
Randler, of Maytown, was stolen about
9:30 p. m. Tuesday from its parking
place near Clayton Hendrix’s restau-
rant on Delta street. About two hours
later Zink, who was driving, stopped
at the gasoline station of V. F. Kaufi-
man, in East Petersburg, for gas. Af-
ter the tank was filled Zink asked for
oil, and while the attendant was gett-
ing some, allegedly drove away.
According to the constables, Zink
confessed his part in both cases. A
charge of stealing the automobile was
brought by Randler, while W. N. Sim-

The places were entered in Lan-
disville by thieves last Wednesday
night. They were the office of J.
A. Snavely and Sons, feed and
lumber dealers, and the store of A.
K. Mease. At the Snavely place,
the thieves obtained 100 pennies
from a cash drawer. An unlocked
safe, with the combination printed
on a card suspended from the lock
knob, was tampered with, but the
thieves succeeded ‘only in locking
the strong box. Mr. Snavely ex-
plained to police that the safe was
robbed two years ago, and since
that time only records are kept
in it.
At the Mease store, thieves after
entering the building, left without
disturbing anything. Detective Wel-
ler said he believed they had in-
tended to enter an Atlantic and
Pacific store which adjoins it.
A Farmer Held
For Questioning

BECAUSE BOTH HIS BARN
FIRES WERE SIMILAR, CHAS,
MUSSER, OF ELIZABETH-
TOWN, WAS DETAINED AT
COLUMBIA BY THE STATE
TROOPERS

Charles Musser, fifty, of Eliza-
bethtown, was held by state police
at Columbia Thursday for ques-
tioning in connection with a fire
that razed a barn on his farm on
the morning of January 5. The
farm is located along the Eliza-
bethtown - Lebanon highway, at
Bellaire.
Musser was taken into custody
Thursday morning by Trooper John
McDevitt, after reports of the blaze
had been filed with the County Fire
Marsahll Paul N. Knier, by former
Fire Chief C. K. Coble, of Eliza-
bethtown, and Irvin Kaylor. of this
boro.
Suspicions Aroused
Knier said Thursday night that
the suspicions of firemen had been
aroused when they learned that
the blaze which destroyed the barn
started in a similar manner to one
that razed another barn on the
farm four years ago. The second
barn was erected on the foundation
of the first and was 54 feet by 80
feet.
Both fires, according to Knier,
were started in or near the eaves.
He said that the second barn was
heavily insured, and that he con-
sidered the estimated loss of $14,
000 unusually high under present
conditions.
State troopers said that Musser
was questioned Thursday after-
noon. He was committed to the
Columbia borough jail Thursday
night, and was questioned again
Friday. He was released on Fri-
day afternoon.

PENNSYLVANIA HAS 16,700 MILES
OF STATE ROADS, OF WHICH
4,679 MILES ARE TOWNSHIP
ROADS AT A COST OF $590,657,639
IN TWENTY YEARS

Pennsylvania will show a net profit
on its state highway system of $23,-
415,000 for the fiscal year ending May
31, 1933.
This is the highest of an exhaustive
study of the highway system just cém-
pleted by the Pennsylvania /Highway
Users’ Conference, copies fof which
have been sent to all members of the
Legislature. Built at a cost of $590,-
657,639 over a period of twenty years,
the Commonwealth today has an equity
of $308,846,544 in its state highway sys-
tem, the survey shows.
This “colossal, self-liquidating gov-
ernmental project” is viewed as the
most astute piece of business enter-
prise ever undertaken by the State,
contributing annually 44% of State tax
revenue. It was started on the pro-
verbial shoe-string under the Sproul
Act of 1911, and has been extended
since to include 16,700 miles; of which
4,679 miles are township roads.
The study shows the highway system
has been built and financed on the
