ACTUAL WORK ON C.V.
BRIDGE BEGINS SOON
Will Complete Dredging For
Quicksands by This Evening
Say Engineers

Dredging for quicksands around the
piers of the Cumberland Valley Rail-
road bridge will be completed by this
evening. A report of the findings OF
the engineers who have been on the
work for month will be forwarded
to the Waterway Commissioners at
Washington, d. c.
Copies of this report will also be
furnished the Pennsylvania Water
supply Commissioners and to the engi-
neer in charge of the construction of
the bridge of the Cumberland Valley
Railroad w. K. Martin.
Work on the bridge proper may not
be started until sometime in July. The
commissioners at Washington have
not yet filed their approval of the
plans. Until this is done the Cum
berland Valley Railroad Company Will
hurry along the two subways, at Front
and Mulberry and Second and Null
berry streets.
Excavations at Front and Mulberry
streets are going right ahead. There
has been very little blasting necessary
and the contractors hope to have the
excavations under the railroad tracks
completed within another week, when
the work on the concrete and masonry
will start.
Additional sidings have been put
down along Mulberry street, and the
material on hand will permit the work
to go on uninterrupted for sometime.
1t was expected that the work on the
subway at Second and Mulberry
streets would begin to-day. Surveys
have been completed and excavations
will start east of Mulberry street eth
er tomorrow or Friday.

DIVIDEND PASSED ON
PAN HANDLED SSYTEM
Continued From First Page1

Three months ago the dividend rate
on the Panhandle preferred stock was
reduced from to per cent. and on
the common stock from to per
cent. per annum in the quarterly dis
tributions then made.
In anticipation of to-day's action
there had been sharp decline in the
price of the company's shares.
The outstanding capital stock of the
Pennsylvania company Is $S0,000,000,
all of which is owned by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.
The Panhandle directors decided to
annually in June and December in
stead of quarterly.
Statement Issued
In announcing its dividend action
the Panhandle board issued a state
ment, saying:
The company in recent years has
declared per cent. dividends per
annum on both classes of stock, in
Guiding the year 1918, when that COM
pany and other lines in the same ter
ritory suffered severely from the dis
astrous floods.
I'm the latter year the company
failed to earn the dividends paid to
the extent of $2,6O0,000, but the di-
rectors believed 1t a wise policy to
continue the dividends at the regular
rate and utilized large part of the
surplus from previous years for that
purpose.
"In March. 1914, however, the di-
rectors deemed it prudent. in view of
the large decrease in gross and net
earnings to reduce the dividends. and
declared dividend of l per cent. on
the preferred stock and three -fourths
OF l per cent. on the common stock.
Since that time conditions have not
improved, there having been a con-
tinued and increasing decline in gross
earnings. and the directors decided
that the reduced earnings of the COM
pany did not justify the declaration of
any dividend on the common stock,
and declared dividend on the pre-
ferred stock of one-half of 1 per cent. &"
The Pennsylvania Railroad directors
declared the usual quarterly dividend
of R per cent

The Telegraph Pictorial Department
has arranged with the management of
PaXtang Park to have Ray p. Antrim,
the movie operator who made the
films of the flag transfer ceremonies
that have attracted such wide spread
attention, to go up in the aeroplane
with the aviator. From his seat in the
speeding plane Mr.. Antrim will make
pictures of the up-turned faces of the
crowd below and later the PROV of the
flying machine will be turned toward
Harrisburg and Antrim will continue
to turn the crank of his movie cam
era as he goes speeding across the
city. Later these pictures will be ex-
hibited at the Photoplay theater by
special arrangement with the manage
ment and Harrisburgers will have the
pleasure of seeing how Harrisburg
looks from the clouds and perchance
of picking themselves out from among
the pedestrians in the streets.
