NEWS OF STEEL TON
1915 BUILDING OUTLOOK
EXCEEDS Other YEARS
H. O. Wright Will Erect Handsome
Semi Bungalows On Spruce Street
Near Sixth-Brickwork of Theatre
Front and Pine, UP to Second Story

The outlook for building operations
in the borough in 1915, are better than
it las been for several years. Borough
contraStors are having more inquiries
about the cost of erecting single and
double dwellings than for some time. So
far as known the largest individual
building plan announced, was made
known by H. C. Wright, who this morn
ing stated he would soon begin the cree
tion of number of double semi bun ga
low houses to front on Spruce street in
the eleventh extension to the borough.
These buildings, when completed will
be neat and commodious and each pair
will be placed in the center of a sixty
foot plot of ground, allowing plenty of
side room for lawn purposes.
The new theatre building being erect
ed by R. NJ. Frey; at Front and Pine
streets, is progressing slowly at present
on account of the inclement weather.
The brickwork has reached the second
story and carpenters will soon lay the
joist for that story.

license TRANSFER GRANTED
Court Says Contention That There Is
No Need For Hotel Can Be Made
Only at End of License Year

In permitting the liquor license of
the hotel, 237-39 West Ann street,
Middletown, to be transferred from
John A. Haas to Harry White, Judges
Kunkel and McCarrell late yesterday
set forth that once a court of law has
granted for one year hotel liquor IL
cense, the question of the necessity for
that license has been settled for that
year, and the court cannot reopen the
issue. ..4
The court in effect announced the
absence of its authority to entertain a
hearing at which some three or four
hundred remonstrants, opposed to the
hotel, had proposed, without attacking
the character and fitness of the license
applicant, to show that the hotel "now
is not necessity"
Harry B. Saussaman, counsel for the
remonstrants, said: "We opposed this
transfer now, because we thought if we
did not do so at this time and permit.
ted the license to be transferred now, it
might prejudice our case at the regular
license court on February 49,"
."We don't see how you can preju-
dice your case," began Judge Kunkel
Besides, you do not permit the trans
fer. You have nothing to do withthat
Any one may come in when application
is made for relicensing the hotel and
show, if he can, that there no longer is
a necessity for the license. Licenses
are granted for one year and no assur-
ance is given to any one that they will
be granted for another year. Any one
who puts his money into the liquor bust
ness does SO at his own risk.
The remopstrance, opposing the
transfer of the license, will be fled in
connection with the application for the
new license, the court was informed,
and the case was closed.

SERVICE BOARD MAKEUP
RESTS With TIRE Governor
Is Reported to Depend on DR..
Brumbaugh's Wishes-Confercnce
Saturday to Decide

Senators who have taken the pains
to make inquiries say that the con-
firmation of some of Governor Tener's
appointments to the Public Service
Commission now rests with Governor'
Brumbaugh, and that if he says the
word the Senate Committee ON Execu-
tive Nominations will at once report
out the names of at least three of the
Commissioners for confirmation, these
three being Commissioners Pennypack-
er, Brecht and Gather.
On the confirmation of Pennypack-
er and Breeht there seems to be no
question, but on tnat of Gather it
seems, from what can be learned, that
the committee is almost equally divid-
ed, Senators Crow, Sproul and Catlin
favoring Gather, with Senators Me-
Nichol, Kline and Snyder opposing him,
leaving the balance of power with SEN
ator Ware, who has said that he will
be guided by Governor Brumbaugh s
wishes in the matter. If the Governor
desires Gather to be confirmed, Senator
Ware will vote for Gather, and, if not,
he will vote against him.
Commissioner Wallace is said to have
sent in his resignation to Governor
Brumbaugh, which leaves Commission
ers Wright, johnson and Tone as the
trio on whom the committee is unde-
cided. Comm, m,ssioner Wright has oppo-
sition that Is not apparent, and it is
said that there also is opposition to
Commissioner johnson because of his
having made public decision of the
Commission to the railroad companies
in the passenger rate case before the
announcement was made to the COM
plainants. Commissioner Tone is sup
posed to have opposition Because of his
former connection with the street rail-
way companies of Pittsburgh.
AS yet nothing definite has been de-
termined and the matter, it is rumored,
will be brought to head at confer
ence to be held in Philadelphia on Sat
urday.

TO ROLL TEST ORDER FOR
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD
Tougher Grade of Steel Rail to Meet
Latest Requirements of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Will Be Made. at
Steelton Plant This Week

In order to meet the requirements
insisted on by the Pennsylvania rail
road for a better grade of steel rails
than that now made for commercial
use by the various rail mills of the
United States, the Pennsylvania Steel
Company will in a few days begin the
rolling of a trial order of 1000 tons
by new method.
Under the old method all steel had
to be rolled when it reached white
heat. Under the new method, the
blooms, from which the rails are made,
will be rolled at a lower temperature
than was ever tried heretofore at the
Steelton plant.
This company is one of five, each of
which has been granted orders for q
600 tons of rails by the Pennsylvania
lines. Each of the five will endeavor
to improve the quality of their product,
for upon the results obtained by this
experiment depends the specifications
for the balance of orders, aggregating
10000 tons, to be given out by the
railroad in the spring.
Railroad chemists will establish a
laboratory at the local plant and will
make continuous tests while the rails
are being manufact tured.
