Heavy Rains

A Fairview woman resident en-
tered fearful protest at Wednesday
evenings council meeting against the
Fairview Cemetery conditions near
which her home is situated. She
complained that after the last storm,
the tops of collins were disclosed by
the action of the streams of water.
Six feet is the legal depth to which
grave must be dug. But it is also
legal to bury bodies two deep.

The most important engineering
movement in the history of the Dor
ough was begun on Tuesday evening
last when thirty leading citizens and
councilmen met at the borough hall
to discuss the undermining, macadam-
izing and standardizing of the Dor
ough's main road arteries.
The assembly was a mass meeting
arranged by the council and adver-
tised in the newspapers to give all
citizens and residents of the borough
every opportunity to take part in the
discussions and arrangements for this
important work. 1t was declared by
Mayor Neumann to be only one of a
series of meetings of the kind, the
following meeting to be held in
Grantwood school auditorium on We'd
nesday evening, September l.
Start of the Road Movement
The germ of these public meetings
for good roads may be found in Free
holder Bender's suggestion at the be-
ginning of the year that the borough
appropriate $1,000 toward the i'm
provement of Palisade avenue. This
he was assured would be matched by
a similar amount by the county. The
next development came when En-
gineer McClave reported that his Of
flee had been engaged in taking levels
and sections of the road with view
to its more thorough grading. The
price for the proposed strip of road
increased at once to 900. In adj
dition to this further strip of upper
Palisade avenue was included at an
estimated cost Of $1,000: total to date
$4,000.
Work May Cost Almost $15O,OOO
Within month, advocacy was
made in the council chamber of an
expenditure for the purpose men
toned, only throwing in a few more
roads, of from $4,000 to $4,000. On
Tuesday evening, this figure was
easily outdistanced, and rose, on the
reading of the engineers estimates to
$4,000, $81 900 and, finally, $146,000
and more. The last figure being an
increase of between 500 and 600
per cent. over the original $4,000
estimate.
Tuesdays Meet A Council Affair
Tuesdays gathering took the form
of a council meeting with Mayor
Neumann in the chair. The mayor
in introducing the subject for discus
sion said that the scheme as origin
ally conceived did not contemplate
much of a job. The idea was soon
displaced by one for permanent i'm
provement, whether by the issue of
bonds or by some other means. He
understood from the engineer that
the State and County would be ready
to provide $4,000 toward the work
next year. The plan, in a general
way, would be to do as much as pos
sible now with the means available,
and then take up the work again in
the spring. Under the plan which was
now being considered, the $1,000 eX-
pended yearly for the mere maintain
ance of the four roads, would go
toward permanent work. AS for re-
pairs on the new roads, there wouldn't
be any needed for the first five
years. "Under the law the mayor
and council undoubtedly have the au-
thority to bond the borough to ac-
complish the Improvement; but they

MARCH BIG MONTH
FOR CITY LIBRARY
Circulation Over 600 Greater
Than 1t Was During the Same
Month of Last Year

Reports made to the board of trus-
tees of the Harrisburg Public Library
last night indicated that the circu-
lation of books during the month of
March was 610 larger than in the
month of March last year, which was
one of the heavy months. The num-
Der of books taken out by residents
OF Harrisburg and vicinity last month
was 1874. When it is considered
that the total number of books in the
library is about 14,S00, this indicates
big rush of business for the city's in
stitution. There are more books on
the shelves of the library than ever
before, the number added last month
being larger than usual in response to
demands for fiction.
One-third of the books taken out
during the month were for school
children, running up to $50 on some
days. In the books taken out We're
works in English, French, Hungarian
and Rumanian. The latter collection
is being put on the shelves. the money
having been provided by the Civic
Club and by a friend of the library.
In March there were 3.571 readers
at the library. of whom over 32 per
cent were children.

thing like freedom of conscience for
over fifty years
Church property had ben confiscated
