SOME STREET FIGURES.

SOME STREET FIGURES.
The Log Cabin Democrat a few
days ago showed that, after leaving
liberal allowance for all necessary
municipal expenses and after paying
81 900 to the business street improve
ment district alreaGy organized, there
ought to be available at least $4,000
from the revenues of the city of Con
way for street Improvement purposes.
AS the city increases in population
and assessed valuation each year this
amount will become larger instead Of
smaller.
A little figuring will show what q
small additiona! amount would have
to be collected from the property
owners in order to build a large
amount of permanent macadam
streets. Fifteen miles of good streets
would be a splendid acquisition, all
that is absolutely needed at present.
1t would be the equivalent of eight
thoroughfares from one end of the
city limits to the other, four north and
south and four east and west.
Reliable authorities state that good
macadam roads can be built at an
average cost of $4,000 per mile. Let
us assume, however, that they would
cost $4,000 per mile, or 100000 for
Is miles. Let us assume that this
amount of money is to be expended,
and if it is not needed for Is miles, let
us build 20 miles. Suppose that we
issue 100000 in bonds maturing
serially or annually during period
of 20 years. At 6 per cent the total
/ interest on such an issue would aggre-
gate in round numbers $4,000. This
means 100000 to be paid in 20 years,
an average of only $4,000 a year.
Deducting $4,000 year to be paid
by the city out of its general revenue
funds, $1,000 year would be left to
be raised from other sources.
| Now, suppose that the tront-foot
plan of assessment should be adopted
to secure this $1,000 year. Other
more equitable forms of assessment
might be used, but this will suffice for
an example In Is miles of streets
there are 79,200 lineal feet. The
/, frontage on both sides of Is miles of
streets would therefore be 158,4OO
feet. Allowing 20 per cent of this
frontage for street intersections would
leave 1926, 72O feet of private property
in front of which Is miles of streets
would pass. Dividing this into 1000,
we find that the annual assessment
against the property for 20 years
would be slightly less than eight
tenths of one cent per front foot, or
$3.50 per year for a 15O-foot front
age.

CentraPs Prospects
Are Deemed Poor

Rumor has it at the Central High
School that football prospects are
pretty poor for the team. With Roth
and Smeltzer under fire for a school
boy prank which may result in their
being barred from athletics, and Rote
out of the game with an injured
shoulder, the team is left without
much of a backfield. Unless Roth
and Smeltzer are allowed to play the
Central team will be without first
team backfield because there is little
hope of Rote's getting into the lineup
until the Tech game.
The team, however, is out for prac-
tice daily. Captain Ben Byers said
this morning that even If the back
field is barred, the team would play
the remainder of the games on sched-
ule. He said If the team did not dc
this and play the Thanksgiving Day
game with Tech, athletics for the
two local schools would end, because
the financial end could not be man.
aged. The players said that they
would stick to the captain for the
sake of athletics in the future for the
two schools.

LOSS IS
KEENLY FELT HERE
State Alumni in This City Ex'
presses Regret at His
Loss to Team

Widespread regret is being express
ed among the Penn State alumni in
this city and vicinity over the recent
injury of Captain "Elgy" Tobin of the
varsity football eleven. Tobin has
proven leader of splendid personality
and ability and Is loved and respected
by the alumni as well as the under
graduates, and 1t is to be hoped that
his injuries are not as serious as re-
ported His absence from the team
will mean much, as his fine leadership
this Fall has done much toward de-
veloping a squad made up mainly of
freshmen candidates into a fighting
team which carried Harvard off her
feet last Saturday.
The "one-year rule" goes into ef-
feet this Fall at Penn State, and no
longer will freshmen be permitted to
participate in varsity athletics. This
was voted on almost unanimously by
the 5000 undergraduates at Penn
State and will place this sturdy insti-
tuition on a par with Harvard, Yale,
Penn and Princeton.

son. One reason for this is the fact
that so many more hunters have rab-
bit dogs than bird dogs. One expert
enced hunter stated Tuesday that the
number of good bird dogs in Harris
burg could be easily counted.
Coincident with the hunting season
trespass notices are making their an
nual appearance, though in increas-
ing numbers, on many county farms.
Less and less land is open to hunting
each year.
