OPEN BIDS FOR NEW
LIGHTING STANDARDS
Commissioner Taylor Asks For
Proposals For Consideration
on December Is

Initial steps to provide ample light
along the top of the river park en-
bankment throughout the entire length
of the city as a secondary plan Of illu-
mination for the river front wall were
taken to-day by City Commissioners M
Harvey Taylor, superintendent of
parks and public property. He asked
for bids for installing the underground
system for ornamental standards be
tween Iron alley and Paxton and Reilly
and Maclay streets.
The proposals will be opened at
o'clock Tuesday. December 10 and
council will likely pass upon the bids
at the meeting the following week.
All told, figures on fiftN-two new
ornamental standards similar to those
now in service in the parks, will he
asked for. Twenty-onc will be placed
between Reilly and Maclay and fifteen
between Paxton street and Iron alley.
The section of parkway between Pa l..
ton and Reilly is already provided wit4
the lights.
The remaining sixteen lights will be
installed on the Twelfth street play
grounds.
Provision for the purchase of the
standards has been saved by Commis-
sioner Tayor from his park mainten-
ance fund during the year, and the
sum necessary to pay for current has
been inserted in the park department
budget for 1915. About $632 will be
needed for the purpose.
The new lights, it is expected, Will
be installed in such time as will per-
NIT the switching on of the current
the latter part of May or early June.

TELEPHONE SERVICE
To NORTH CUT OFF
Lines to Sunbury, Wilkes-Barre and
Towns on Northern Circuit
Completely Cut Off

Telephone service over the northern
circuit of the Bell Telephone Com
pany from this city has been almost
completely cut off for two days as a
result of the storm that swept the
Atlantic seaboard.
Sunbury Wilkes Barre and all the
smaller towns on the circuits running
into these centers have been cut off
from Harrisburg since Yesterday
morning at IL o'clock. On the Phila-
delphia line only one circuit is now
open and the service naturally to that
city is away below the normal stand
ard.
Shirley B. Watts, local manager of
the Bell Company, said this afternoon
that he believes the trouble on the
cleared mp by this evening or early
tomorrow morning.
A force of twenty men is busy on
clearing the lines over the Peters S
mountain. where most of the trouble
lies. Slight trouble was reported Mon
day night on the northern circuit and
"tItouble shooters were hurried to
clear the lines. The trouble men, be-
cause of snow-laden trees, were com
PEELED to cut their way through many
places on the Peters mountain, but
by 10 O'Clock yesterday the original
trouble reported had been cleared.
Then, however, to use the words Of
Mr.. Watts, the music began
Falling Trees Cut Wires
Dozens of trees loaded with snow
and ice fell across the wires leading
over the mountain and all commune
cation to the north was cut off shortly
after II yesterday morning. So many
trees had fallen across the roads on
this side of the mountain that the
shooters were compelled to go down
the other side of Peters to reach the
valley. A call for more men was sent
to this city and the Bell Company Of
ficials sent big trouble truck" to
the scene.
Because of the fallen trees the
truck was unable to get far up the
mountain road and the men found
great difficulty i'm clearing the lines
at the top as a result. Late this after
noon the trouble shooters were still
on the job, but they expected to have
all the lines opened by this evning.

FLETCHER WANTS
MORE SUBMARINES
Rear Admiral Gives Views Of
American Navy Before Naval
Committee
BY associated Press

Washington, Dec. 9.-For the first
time In many years the House naval
committee to-day conducted in public
ready has assumed the nature of a
general inquiry into efficiency and gen
eral conditions of the feet.
Rear Admiral. Fletcher, commander
of the Atlantic fleet, in general state
ment at the outset defended the dread
naught as the greatest weapon of
modern warfare.
Admiral Fletcher told the commit
tee European nation could send sub
marines across the ocean to dart into
an American harbor and assail the
American fleet. He said. England has
nice little supply station" seven
hundred miles away from New York
harbor at Bermuda.
The admiral said he would recon-
mend, as good policy, eight or ten
more submarines for coast and harbor
defense. lie emphatically reasserted
that the real success of the navy must
ultimately rest with the dreadnaught
sId the battleship fleets generally.
Considering the location of this
country" asked Representative Bath
rick, of Ohio, do you thing the United
States war policy, If there should be
a war, should be to have the navy op-
erations largely on the detensive?"
We'll" replied Admiral Fletcher,
"in that event it would leave the en-
fD oil
Control of the seas, he said, was not
materially affected by the number of
submarines operated by a belligerent.
Only One I'm Commission
Representative Roberts of Massa-
chusetts, and others pressed Admiral
Fletcher about the actual condition
of the American submarines and he
finally testified there was only one sub
marine now in active first class COM
mission. Othere are being overhauled
at the navy yards.
MACH fans-Tejs rad rada
How far off should could most
modern battleship lie and effectively
shall one of our cities?" asked Rep
.resentative Stephens of California.
From eight to twelve miles dis
tance."
Would a modern battleship attack
and lombard city from that distance
knowing submarines were there"
NO, nor would they ordinarily, even
if it were known there were no sub
Marines he replied. There is moth
ing TO be gained by bombarding a city
unless it is occasioned by the occupa-
tion of the city by military forces
and the presence of forts. And in that
case the forts should defend the city
itself without the necessity of re-
course + threats of submarines"
I'm case of the United States becom-
ing engaged in war, do you think it
should be the policy of our fleet to re-
main in the barbor asked Represen-
tative Hobson.
mo / do not answered the admi-
raj. emphatically. The fleet should
not be at any one port but should be
out at sea and should stay there"
Talks OF Submarines
do you think?" asked Representa-
tive Hobson, that small or large
number of submarines would have any
material affect on the control of the
sea?"
THE control of the sea would not be
materially affected" replied the Ad-
miral
"Ef Germany had 500 submarines.
