the question as to whether the street
had not been opened years ago as the
"Millerstown turnpike" Mr.. Seitz de-
clared the road had never been
opened.
Some of the property owners took
the stand that they were not fairly
dealt with in the method of distribu-
tion of benefits and damages. City
officials pointed out that the same
condition exists in the Capitol Park
Extension condemnation proceedings
where the business of a property own
or could not be considered.
The Schedule

hibited by the viewers schedule to-
day, are as follows:

The Big Boat Pavilion
The decision of the viewers not tC
allow damages for lighthouses, etc.
erected since 1871 is of peculiar in
terest to hundreds of the city's boat
men and canoeists because the ruling
affects the A, p. Dintaman and Harry
]. Berrier boat pavilions. More thar
| 500 canoes and other pleasure craft, il
/ is estimated, are housed there. BY the
decision of the viewers these struc-
lures will be condemned by the city
and removed without compensation
| for the owners.
The viewers support their position
by the opinion of the Dauphin county
court several years ago in the John G
Denny case. Denny, a South Gamer
, on street property owner, appealed
| from O viewers award when some
property was affected by the opening
of Cameron street. The court over

act of 1871. This act provided fol
the appointment of a commission tc
omen certain streets including Front
and Cameron streets. On the subject
of compensation for damages the act
says:
The Law
That no compensation shall be
made or allowed to any person or
persons for houses or other build
ings erected or built by any per-
son or persons on any of the ave-
nues, streets, lanes and alleys
of said city from and after said
avenues, streets, lanes and alleys
shall have been designated by
said commissioners or a majority
of them.
The exhibition of the "Hardscrab-
BILE" schedule to-day is another real
step forward in Harrisburg's big i'm
provement program. For many years
the "Hardscrabble" question has been
fought out in councils.
The Gap I'm the Steps
Long before the present commission
form of government was inaugurated,
Ross A. Hickok, member of the old
Common Council offered an ordinance
to pave the way for the opening of
Front street and ultimate elimination
of "Hardscrabble."
