Mysterious Munitions Plan
Fires to Be Prevented
Here

To protect the Harrisburg Pipe and
Pipe Bending Works where munitions
are being manufactured for the allies,
from destruction by fire or any pos
sibIe bomb plot. two extra fire COM
panies have been ordered by Fire
Chief John {. Kinder. to respond to
alarms from box No. AL. installed
yesterday morning at the Herr street
entrance of the big mill.
The companies outside of the dis
trict of box AL, which is a private
one, which will answer alarms are
the Hope and Susquehanna, each
equipped with a gh-power engine
and pump and complete chemical ap-
paratus.
orders also have been issued that
the private box must be used only in
case of fire in the pipe mill, and that
other boxes in the vicinity shall be
used for all other fires.
At noon to-day the new box was
given a thorough test when the u
o'clock alarm was sent in, and is now
ready for service. A number of
auxiliarieS have been installed in var
ious parts of the plant in case of any
emergency, and it is probable that
more may be added in a short time
Box No. 331 at the State street en-
trance of the plant will not be re-
moved. and may be used in case of
fire in the southern part of the plant.

STATE LICENSE
RECOMMENDED
FOR ENGINEERS
Important Report Submitted
to the Governor by Engi-
neerS Commission
RESULT OF LONG STUDY
Belief That Technical Men
Should Be Under State Su-
perviSion Is Set Forth
RESULT OF LONG STUDY

Recommendation that engineers,
surveyors or technical men in public
service where competency may be
established by examination should be
subject to State or municipal civil SER
vice regulations: that there be State
board to supervise registration Of
technical men and that the state
Board of Public Grounds and Build
ings be made a board of public works
are made in the report of the State
Engineers Commission presented TO
Governor Brumbaugh to-day. The
commission was named by Governor
Tener in 1914 and consisted of +. Her
bert Snow, chairman: John Price
Jackson, secretary; Samuel A. Taylor.
Pittsburgh; George :. Webster, Phil
adelphia, and J. Murray Africa, Hunt
ingdon.
The commission has made what is
considered to have been the most eX-
haustive study of engineering and its
practice and engineers and their rela-
ton TO public work. The chief rec
ommendation is that there should be
a State board or commission to have
charge of registration of engineers
for practice in the State. that in first
and second class cities the civil SER
nations as necessary and in the rest OF
the State the proposed State commits
sion should he in charge of tests.
Consulting engineers or temporarily
engaged engineers would not be sub
ject to examinations. Certificates of
fitness could be issued.
1t is suggested that public service
companies should be exempted from
the civil service regulation untiT the
WORKS on or. nf IN s.
public operations; that plans and
specifications Tor public works to be
built or operated by public service
companies should be handled by prop
er branches Of the State government
and that the State board or commits
sion in charge of engineers act in
advisory capacity on employment of
consulting or temporary engineers and
also have authority 10 investigate
charges of incompetence or derelic-
ton.
The report suggests that the State
Economy and Efficiency Commission
work out the details of a plan where
by the scope and duties of the Board
OF Public Grounds and Buildings may
be enlarged SO that il shall direct all
public works through bureaus which
shall make all plans for State build
ingS. handle architectural and engi-
neerinS details, purchase all supplies,
oversee all State property and also
have charge of State civil service eX-
aminations to have supervision of
engineers. This board TO be COM
posed of engineers or qualifications
demanded for membership in national
engineer aCieties and who might
be drdH IN engineers in State
service , lm the profession gen.
orally.
Drafts ,t acts to make the system
of licensing engineers effective are
submitted.

plan that the action to table the Nc
LemOre resolution will include q

handle diplomatic affairs without Con-
sresSional interference.
The leaders are confident they have
