The Germans attacked the city in

of the city. 1t was full moon. The
German attack was directed against

perfect. Shell after shell was ex-
ploded fairly on the ramparts and
forts.

The State Highway Department has

on which State highways and State

township roads, are shown. The map
Is of large size, being drawn to the
scale of four miles to one inch. 1t
was prepared at the direction of State
Highway Commissioner Bigelow and
S. ID. Foster chief engineer, by G. p.
Strum, Il craftsman under the direc-
tion of G.. IL. Elsenhans, chief drafts
man of the department
The counties included in the map
are Adams, York, Lancaster, Chester.

A limited number of these maps
have been prepared. They will prove

To LIGHT PAXTANG
WITH ELECTRICITY
Ordinance to Provide Street II.
Elimination Will Be Offered
in Council Monday

PaNtang's streets will be lighted with
electricity before January 1 if an or
dinance to be introduced in the bor-
ough council Monday evening becomes
a law without undue delay.
The measure will provide, il is un-
dersood, for at least a dozen modern
incandescent lamps of 32 or 4S-candle-
power and will be placed at intersec-
tons and other points to be decided
upon by the councilmen. The street
lighting will be one of the first of the
modern improvements to be intro
duced by Dauphin county's baby bor-
ough. If the ordinance is passed work
on the installation of the system will
be started at once so as to provide
light by the first of the year.
Power for the lighting will be fur
nished by the Harrisburg Light and
Power Company from the city station,
and the methods, the type of light
standard. etc. and the advantages of
both strengths of incandescents and
any other Information on the question
will be explained by Robert w. Hoy,
commercial manager of the electric
company.
PaXtang will be the fifth town in
this vicinity to consider the plan of
obtaining power supplied by the Har-
risburg company, and there is II possi-
bility that a sixth will be added to the
list in the near future. Steelton set
the pace. Dauphin followed, Penbrook
was next, Highspire took up the prob
lem but has not yet definitely set
tied it, and PaXtang is to finish the
list.
The sixth town will likely be Lin
glestown, as it is understood that the
townspeople are considering the plan
of obtaining electric service for its
streets from this city.
