RAILROAD HEAD SAYS
1918 WAS UNSAVORY
AND DESTRUCTIVE
Literature Reeked With immoral
ity; All Economic Laws
Were Disregarded VI

General superintendent G. w.
Creighton. of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, who passed through Harrisburg
early to-day on his way to attend the
annual dinner in Philadelphia, says
1913 was year of immortality and
destruction. Mr.. Creighton expresses
himself in pungent language, saying:
The year 1919 closes with an un-
savory record. Its literature reeked
with subtle and illy-concealed Vul-
garity and immortality. It's stage over
flowed with nastiness.
"All economic laws We're violated by
the pursuit and annihilation OF those
whose industrial activities had builded
structures and plants capable of the
most economical output but which
were disintegrated and rent asunder by
those in authority in defiance OF every
law of economies, and certainly to the
detrIment of the ultimate consumer,
the public. -,
"It is to be hoped that each Will
contribute his or her mite toward
making of the year 1914 one of COM
mercial and industrial progress, year
fraught with good and pure things,
and full of happiness and contentment
for all mankind.

Each day something new turns UP
making more complicated the tangle
caused by the new law affecting pub

the information that charity tickets
have been cut out and that the Union
News Company must pay for all privi-
leges they receive at the hands of
railroad companies in Pennsylvania.
Heretofore Colonel Hutchison, the
Poor Directors and Associated Chari-
ties were able to buy tickets to Phil
adelphia for S1.00 and to Altoona for
S1.32. Unfortunates reaching Harris
burg will have to be given full fare to
get out of the city. In the opinion of
Colonel Hutchison it puts a serious
question up to local authorities.
The Union News Company Is hit
hard. The order relating to this COM
pany is as follows:
"The privilege heretofore ex-
tended to the Union News Com

IS BOYER'S OPINION
But the Director Insists That 1t
Cannot Be Done
Legally

While Poor Director Charles l..
Boyer fatty refused to discuss the
probable appointments of Dauphin
countys Poor Board for the ensuing
year until after Mondays reorgan-
ization meeting, he intimated to-day
that Thomas II. Manning, the sole Re-
publican member of the board and
the purchasing agent might be elected
to the position.
Mr.. Boyer said he believed this
could be done legally and econom-
ically; Mr.. Manning stoutly insisted
that 1t couldn't be done. The Poor
Board, he said, couldn't vote salaries
to any of its members. Mr. Boyer
holds that all the work of the board
could be done by the board members,
as it is done by Lancaster county.
Director and President j. j. Cole
man, the retiring member, met with
the board for the last time to-day
He got a salary of $500 annually
while Messrs. Boyer and Manning get
81 900 under a later law.
Now why" asked Mr.. Boyer
couldn't we vote, say an additional
$500 year, to MrA Manning and make
him clerk? That would give him a
salary of $1.2OO.''

Mr.. Manning.

1T shall also be unlawful to re-

otherwise the approval of the

That section of the act of July 16,
1913, which provides for the appoint
ment of a City Planning Commission
by Harrisburg and other third class
cities of Pennsylvania will be looked
into carefully by County Recorder O.
@. Wickersham with a view to de-
termining just what effect this will
have on the future filing of new de-
velopment and improvement plots.
The application of the city planning
act and Section in particular to
Harrisburg is being watched with pc
culiar interest here in view of the fact
that ma. y of the other third class
cities have appointed their commits
sions. Harrisburg commissioners have
not, or at least say they haven't, con-
sidered the matter as vet. Further
more, the city will soon have available
the expenditure of 100000 for new
park and playground DEVELOPMENT.
In municipal circles it Is generally
held that the commission is created by
the passage of the act and that II is
now up to Mayor Royal 10 recon-
mend and Council to approve the an
pcintment of five members.

orally expected, will be named as tho

Bowman and Lynch and retain the

MIR. Taylor has said that he doesn't
know what he will do about 1t as vet.
That Mayor Royal had intended 10
appoint the present Park Board as a
city Planning Commission at the last
meeting of Council was the general
rumor in municipal circles. but the
Mayor, 1t is believed, preferred to
await Councils action relative to the
steps.

TAKE II up as soon as possible and
probably confer with his counsel 1on
the subject.
