Hollier and Republics to

Included among the exhibits at the

the Hollier eight-cylinder car and
the Republic trucks. This will be
shown by the Hudson Sales Agency in
charge of l.. H. Hagerling. I. w. Dill
as factory representative for the east
ern territory will make this exhibit

The Hollier is light eight made by
Lewis Spring & Axle Company of
jackson. Mich. For fifteen years the
company has been supplying many of
the leading automobile makers with
axles, springs, differentials, transmits
sions, drop springs, motors and COM
plete chassis. During this period the
company acquired experience that
made it possible for them to produce
the highest quality of machine work
and perfect an organization which
made it an easy matter to market a
product under their own name when
the demand warranted. The Hollier
made an excellent showing in the re-
cent Publicity run from Harrisburg
to Philadelphia and Wilmington.

Surveyors at Work
on Western Maryland
Special TO The TeIsEroth

.Johnstown, Pa, Aug. 2s.-Engineers
who are believed to be a part OF the
force that has been running lines for
railroad down the Benscreek Valley
are working in the Hogback tunnel To-
cality. They began a survey along
the hillside from a point opposite
Island Park toward the terminus of the
Johnstown & Stonycreek railroad at
the operations of the Valley Smokeless
Coal Company.
This is taken to mean that the route
of the contemplated railroad frequent
ly mentioned, will be along the Hog
back hill, the aim being a junction
with the J. & S. system to the Valley
mines, thus affording connection with
the Pennsylvania railroad In central
Johnstown.
1t is also evident that the B. & o. is
not doing the work. for IL this were
the case the company could make a
tunnel or nearby.
The Western Maryland and the
Pennsylvania railroads have been
closely allied for years and have nu-
merous traffic arrangements. In Cum
berland, for instance, the two railroads
use the same depot, the Western Mary
land trains running east to Baltimore
and the Pennsylvania trains running
connection with its own system at the
northwest to Bedford and Altoona.

HARRISBURG FIRM To

VIII Devise Ways of Preventing q
Recurrence of the Flood
Which Killed 81

The Consulting Engineering Firm
of Farley Gannett and Theodore
Seelye, of Harrisburg, has been en-
gagged by the City of Erie to make a
report upon the best method of pre-
venting recurrence of the recent
flood in Mill Creek in that city, which
cost the lives of thirty-four people
and nearly 100000 in property
damage.
Mr.. Gannett has just returned to
the city after week in Erie, spent in
organizing corps of twenty-five en-
gineers to make the surveys and
studies upon which the report will be
based. The work will be pushed rap
idly as reconstruction of buildings,
bridges and factories has been stopped
pending decision as to what the
proper remedial measures will be.
For three miles through the heart
of the city a great swath was cut by
the rushing waters, carrying bridges,
houses and their occupants toward
Lake Erie. This area will be thor
oughly surveyed by experienced men
and then plans and reports will be
prepared setting forth what should
be done.
Surveys are also in progress farther
up the creek in the country to deter

Need For Traffic Rules
Brought Out by Auto Crash

Steelton's need of traffic ordi-
nance such as Burgess Fred Wig1eld
has been urging council to pass for
months past was again shown yester-
day when two automobiles crashed to-
gether at Front and Conestoga streets.
A big roadster driven by Grant
Cumbler, of Newport, was coming in
Conestoga street from the West Side,
as a 1itney bus came down Front
street. The two machines came to-
getffer at the street intersection. AL
though both machines were damaged
the seven passengers in the two cars
were uninjured. A number of per-
sons who saw the accident say it could
have been avoided if traffic rules had
been observed.
