At the Arena
Up at the Arena, Third and Delaware
streets, they are going to mix automo-
biles, accessories and vaudeville, the
Harrisburg Automobile Dealers Asso-
citation finding in their midst as ex-
hibitors three classy vaudeville stars
temporarily in the automobile business
because it is better than the stage.
They have not been able to get the
stars to go on before tomorrow, how
ever, but they have promised to give
two performances tomorrow and Thurs
day. For tonight the music furnished
by the harpist and violinist will be suf-
ficient to entertain the visitors.
f. C. Huhn, former minstrel man,
with his side partner, W. R. Lupton, of
the Keystone Lubricating Company,
will follow each other on the bill. Huhn
will do blackface and Lupton single
turn as Scotchman in a regulation
suit-bare knees and all. Robert I.
Erlichman, of tie One-in-One Piston
Ring Company, will do a monologue as
a Hebrew" All three were on a
similar bill at Bethlehem and their
fame preceded them to Harrisburg,
hence their engagement as vaudeville
stars.
The crowds at the Arena are graft
flying to the managers of the show, who
have been congratulated on all sides
by the splendid showing of all types of
ears and accessories.
Both this and the show at Kelker
street hall will remain open every day
and evening, including Saturday.

tenth WARDERS insist ON
MORE fire Protection

Medical Society is invited to attend
next week s meeting of the Commits
sion, or any subsequent meeting, for
the purpose of discussing ways and
means of providing municipal hos
pital. Mr.. Lynch, author of the reso-
luton, and Mayor Royal both express
ed fear that the whole plan would
have to be dropped for lack of funds.
City Richer Than Supposed
When Mayor Royal questioned the
regularity of the proposed plan of pay
ing the cost of repairing the smashed
up Friendship fire engine-$2, 900
out of the city general fund, hereto
fore thought to have been absorbed
by the city's annual budget, Commits
sioner Gorgas gave new estimate of
the city's probable 1915 receipts, say
ing they will be in the neighborhood
of 1857 900. The budget calls for
$55S,000, leaving an estimated bal
ance of $4,000, and the ordinance was
approved.
Action on the ordinance providing
for the payment of the $1,1S9.O5 as
sessments against school property, in
cident to the grading of Hildrup, Nine
teenth and Chestnut streets, was post
poned for one week. The city has taken
exceptions to the decisions of the
viewers in those grading cases and the
Commissioners expressed fear that the
payment of the assessments would Be
an admission of liability and might
prejudice the city's side in the pend.
ing appeals. The City Solicitor will
be asked for advice on this point.
Ordinances passed finally provided
for the purchase of two street sprink-
lers for the highway department and
also for the laying of a water pipe in
Carlisle street, from Holly to Derry.
The ordinance regulating tree trim
ming and planting and placing such
work under the supervision of City
Forester Mueller was introduced o-day
as were also measures providing for
the purchase of scales for the city mar,
kets and paving Cumberland street,
from Fourteenth to Fifteenth. The speci-
fications prepared by c. Howard Llovd
for the erection of the new Royal Fire
Company house, were approved.
Contracts Change Hands
The Commission sanctioned the trans
fer of contracts for building sewers in
Wiconisco, Reel, Fifth and Lexington
streets from w. F. Martin to the Cen,
tral Construction and Supply Company.
Martin recently underwent an operation
in the Harrisburg hospital for appen-
dicitis and asked to be permitted to
assign the jobs. The contract price will
remain unchanged.
The $3.50 bond of Jacob Weimer, con-
tractor, who is to furnish 5000 tons OF
river coal to the City, was approved by
the Commission. The American Surety
Company, of New York, is his surety.
Commissioner Bowman s award of half
a dozen water pipe JOBS to Millard T.
Saul also was approved. The Commits
sion, by vote of to l., approved the
lease, drawn up by Commissioner Bow.

burg Light and Power Company, provid-
ing for the construction of the com.

authorized Bowman to execute the
