Of trading on the stock exchange this
week that several prominent brokerage
houses announce that they are con-
sidering the advisability Of asking the
board Of governors Of the exchange to
declare q full holiday in order to give
their overworked clerks a rest. Many
firms have been obliged to work their
forces every day and night In one
house two clerks were taken away in
an ambulance yesterday morn ng in an
exhausted condition.
The exchange governors, when ap-
preached on the subject of closing to-
day, maintained that they had no right
to cut of the security business Of the
country on such short notice. The
promise was held out, however, that
should the great volume of trading
continue next week the declaration Of
a special stock exchange holiday would
be considered.

made, so that the board would have
very little work to do.
The enlarging of the subway and
the building of roads north and south
will undoubtedly mark the first step
in the construction of a road from
Wormleysburg to Camp Hill. Before
anything can be done toward Joining
the two towns, the subway would
have to be enlarged. When done
definite steps could be taken toward
laying out a highway in accordance
with the plans of Warren II. Manning
the expert of the Harrisburg City
Planning Commission. and the desire
of West Shore citizens. OF course,
such road would have to be paid
for by the East Pennsboro township
alone, unless some aid could be gotten
from the State or county. However,
it is understood that owners of land
over which the proposed highway
woud pass, do not look with disfavor
on the proposition and that there is
a likelihood of at least some of the
necessary ground being dedicated to
the township for road and parkway
purposes. A road through that terri
tory would open up one of the most
beautiful stretches in lower Cumber-
land county and 1t would not be many
years until the ravine through which
the road passes would be dotted with
homes.
Citizens along the West Shore, es-
pecially in Camp Hill and Wormleys-
burg, are earnestly hoping for an
early settlement of the grade cross
ing case and they are of the belief
that with the opening of the Spring
of 1916, work on the enlargement of
the subway and the building of roads
north and south to eliminate two
grade crossings will be under way
When the attorneys on both sides
get together. it is understood that the
circulation of a petition ASKING for
the abolishing of the two grade cross
ings and the offering of sufficient rand
for the laying out of the roaGs Will
