CITY CAN BORROW
$l,5O4,O3l.11
Copelin Handled $11,000,000
With Only Slight Cleri-
cal Errors

Considerable qualification was ex-
pressed in municipal circles to-day
over the fact that the recent audit of
the City Treasury covering a period
of eleven years had developed so little
that might be criticised. Most of the
matters referred to were simply
clerical errors which involved small
amounts and it is stated that ex-City
Treasurer Copelin had explained when
the Mexican border that he would be
glad to make good any shortages that
might appear from mistakes of book
keeping. These deficits were shown
by the auditing company to have re-
suited principally from clerical mis-
takes.
During the period of eleven years
almost S11,000,000 was received and
almost as much paid out. Some rec
concentrations as to changes in book
keeping methods were made and it is
also suggested that any apparent diff
ference in the receipts or the city
from present daily balances might be
accounted for in the fact that the
former City Treasurer paid from cur
rent funds certain public improve
ment charges pending issue of bonds,
thus saving the city more than would
have accrued from interest on daily
balances.
1t was recommended by the auditors
that some change might be made in
the method of applying the payment
of the Water Department in behalf of
the citys interest account so that that
department is given full credit 1t is
suggested this be done through the
annual budget
An interesting fact brought out by
the audit is that the net borrowing
capacity of the city at the present
time is $1,504,0S1.11. The sinking
funds on the various public improve
ment loans have been maintained and
the city's financial condition Is regard
ed as excellent

RANROADMN
PLAN NEW BRIDGE
AT WRIGHTSyLLE
Delay to President Rea al
Grade Crossing Is Said to
Be Factor

Rumors that a new bridge will be
built across the susquehanna river be-
tween wrightsville and Columbia are
again in circulation. Oficials of the
Baltimore division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad say there is no official in
formation about this improvement, but
admit that it mas been talked of.
Last Friday President Samuel Rea,
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, en- route
from Wrightsville to Columbia, was
held up at the grade crossing because
of a breakdown of an engine. He was
travelling in an auto and it is reported
was not pleased with conditions.
While waiting for the crossing to be
cleared he looked over the bridge.
Railroad men thought his inspection
and delay might bring about a new
bridge. A dispatch from York says:
Report Plans Under Way
plans for the erection of a new
bridge across the Susquehanna river
between Columbia and Wrightsville, to
be exclusively Tor vehicles and pedes-
trian travel, are being considered by
officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, 1t has been learned by York
railroad officials The plan to erect a
roadway on the top of the present
structure, it is understood, has been
set aside. as to do this would cost
nearly as much as to erect a new
overhead roadway would be unsafe. IT
is said that the plans for the new
bridge are now in the hands of the
Highway Department at Harrisburg
The proposed bridge will connect with
the Lancaster county shore at a point
between Walnut street and the present
bridge.
Daily Detentions
The almost daily detention suffered
by the auto travelling public at the
Columbia end of the bridge by Penn
sylvania Railroad trains blocking the
crossings was brought most forcibly to
the attention of President Samuel Rea
of the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad, last Fri
day morning, when he and a party
of friends, traN cling IL an automobile
were held up for almost an hour. The
delay was caused when the driving rod
of a 'lollypop' engine. one of the larg.
est in the company's service, dropped
to the ground while passing through
the borough.
while the autoists were waiting fol
the low grade crossing TO be opened
President Rea got OUT of the car and
walked to one of the lowered gates al
the Bridge street crossing and, leaning
on the arm of the gate, took a survey
of the surroundings. Railroad Officer
Duersmith. NOT recognizing the presi-
dent of the company, regarded the
| leaning on the gate as an act of tres
pass and walking up to the gentle
man, requested him TO remove his arm
as he might set injured. Mr.. Rea
smiled. did as requested, and again
walked around. He later revealed his
identity to the train dispatcher. The

lumb bia side of the bridge has fire.

In the name of good common sense
when will this silly talk. of wOmen's
clothes affecting the tender morals
Of men be smothered? How long are
we going to shout for equal right to
go out and make the laws of the
country and then add inches to our
skirts lest the display of our ankles
may cause some righteous man to
stumble and get a cTimp in his holy
thoughts?
1t is not so many years ago since
men were lifting their noses in a SUI
periOr manner as women dragged
their skirts along the street and
shifting over the lack of common
sense women showed in collecting
germs. Today they are fussing about
the damage to their morals because
women listened to the shifting over
long skirts and shortened them.
Now the cry is that legs - just
think Of it-legs are shown for few
inches with the short skirts women
are wearing and men are unable to
view these commonplace legs, with
which we are born and wouldn't
know how to get along without, and
keep their minds from being tainted.
AS a matter of fact, immortality
has nothing to do with the exposure
of women's forms or the covering of
them. It is a state of mind, and the
man whose mind is prurient will get
more unholy delight in speculation
over the curves covered by a hoop
skirt than he will ever get in a hun
dred years from the statue of the
Venus de Milo.
While college professors, superan-
nuated, are holding up their hands in
holy horror at the damage being
done to the male youth by the girl
who wears her waists with ''V'' neck
and a skirt that escapes her shoe
tops, the same male youth casts just
one glance at the girl whose short

would stand on a windy corner in the
days when women wore long skirts
that completely covered their ankles
and legs and watch for an hour to
catch one glimpse Of what he does
not find interesting when a glance
will disclose it in thousands of du-
pEcations.
A clean man-and there are quite
a lot of them, notwithstanding the
general shouting not be both
cred in the least by the length or
shOrtness of a girls skirt because he
isn't hunting prurient sensation.
Then are we going to sacrifice
freedom, comfort, cleanliness, and,
what is more, cleanliness of our own
minds, for the sake of catering to
prurience in the minds of those
who do find satisfaction in Unholy
thoughts? It is much more sensible
to start teaching men that there is
no reason why the sight Of a girls
ankle should affect their morals and
that we are tired of such nonsense.
l can go along the street where
hundreds of men walk and never no
tice the contour of any of hundreds
of pairs of legs fully outlined. A
woman who claimed that mans ex-
pOsUre of dress would hurt the NOR
ais of growing girls would be
laughed at.
There is something disgusting to
me in this idea that we have to be
ashamed of our bodies if we are born
women. We were all of us, men and
women alike, created by and in the,
semblance of God. There is moth.
ing in the world more beautiful thans
the body of the little baby or the tiny
tot, and it is only when we grow old
enough to be told that there is some-1
thing to be ashamed of IN having a
body that we begin to put crimps in
our minds. 80
