PLAN NEW BUDGET
ON WATER INCOME
Finance Commissioner Offers
Another Scheme to Reduce
1917 Mill Rate

Instead of diverting the surplus
water department earnings that have
already been accumulated to pay for
next years street lighting bill. City
Commissioner w. L. Gorgas, superin-
tendent of Finance, to-day suggested
that the estimated receipts of the
water department for each year could
be figured in with the municipal reve-
nues when the budget is made up.
BY this plan the City Commissioners
could provide amply for extensions
and Improvements from time to time,
allow more for maintenance and still
keep down the mill rate.
The plan that has been suggested
by Mayor E. S. Meals was to keep
down the tax rate for 1917 by divert
orally appropriated for street lighting
purposes, from the surplus water
earnings.
City Commissioner II. F. Bowman,
superintendent of Public Safety. has
expressed a desire to give the citizens
the best possible benefit of the yearly
earnings of the water department, but
he declared repeatedly that he had
been advised by the city solicitor that
this action can't be taken. Recently
Council was advised otherwise.
The Public Safety superintendent,
too, has declared that the surplus
earnings should be kept intact in or
der to provide for future extensions of
the reservoir facilities. etc.
In speaking of his own plan to-day
Commissioner Gorgas pointed out that
the present surplus could easily be
left intact as a nucleus for the pro-
posed reservoir fund. but that Council
codld figure on the coming years es-
timated revenues from the water de-
partment in making up the budget.
The earnings, 1t is estimated, should
run to between $50. 900 and $4,000,
he said.
Council will likely discuss this mat
ter Friday when the Commissioners
meet for the first conference on the
1917 budget

A second northbound freight from the
Cumberland Valley crashed into the
rear of the first train on the siding.
Conductor Leidig, who was in the
cabin, was killed instantly. The
wreckage piled over against the
freight train on the main track.

pulled into the siding, which was run
ming about 80 miles an hour. it is

TERROR OF SKIDDING is
PREVALENT AT THIS TIME
r. w. Mueller Says Use of Brakes Should Be
Avoided When Anti-Skid Chains Are
Left at Home
BY j. W. MUELLER

SIX THE average motorist what he
- fears most in the daily handling Of
his machine and the answer will be skid
ding" for IL there be one thing more
than all others that the motorist fears,
u is that sickly sinking Of ones Interior
that comes with the sudden and entire
loss Of control Inevitably accompanying a
bad skid
The reckless. the foolish and the in
competent pedestrian can be guarded
against; even the man who loses himself
In brown study In the middle OF q busy
street and the old lady who cutters back
and forth In the path of a car like be-
fuddled hen can be taken care of with
the brakes. But with skid once started
only Providence and the skIlful hand at
the wheel are OF any avail. The side

but unlike the former, IL Is not always
unavoidable. The case Is distinctly one
for preventlves and not for remedies
There is no remedy for a bad skid but
to patch up the damage and ga,her to-
sefher your shaken nerves as best you
may.
AS an absolute preventive of skldding
non-skid chains will naturally suggest
themselves at once to the reader, and It
may be added that two OF the insurance
companies that write automobile accident
policies have taken cognizance of tho
frequency OF accidents caused by skid
ding and recommend the use of chains
In truth. IL the chains are in their proper
place on the tires our "ever present dam
ger has been exercised. so that the re-
marks which follow may be taken merely
as advice for that day when somebody
forgot and left his chains In the locker
at home. And right here we can offer the
best anti-skid rule, to keep the chains
In the car and not trust to remembering
to put them there just before you start

NEW WILLYS-OYERLAND
Is ATTRACTIVE MACHINE
Four New Features Found in
Model rs, the Latest Type
on Market

or the various models brought out by
the Willys- Overland Company during the
last season none have been received more
enthusiastically than the latest and
smallest member Of the family. which is
known as model 20. Only n few weeks
have elapsed since John n. Willys an
nounced to the public the details of this
car.
The crowds which continually surround
It in the Overland booth at the show are
good indication OF the worldwide in
terest 1t has already created.
The price appeals strongly to those who
prefer a car with the advantages of the
larger and hlgher-priced models but that
II Is smaller. lighter and more economical
to run. Model 10 is designed to meet this
demand and not to replace the larger
four-cylnder Overland model. Although
the wheel base of l0 inches allows a body
providing comfortable seating capacity
for five passengers, the car weighs but
2l60 pounds. The light weight assures the
utmost In economical operation.
Four advantages seldom found in n car
OF this kind stand out prominently in this
latest product of the big Toledo factory.
An electric starting and lighting system,
four-ineb tires, cantiever rear springs
and electrical control buttons on the
steering column are sample of what the
Overland Company has been able to in
clude in the high-grade equipment of this
low-priced car
The electric starting and lighting system
Is OF the efficient two-unit type and is
entirely independent of the ignition. The
sixf-inch tires are larger than can be
found on any car of similar specifications.
while the cantilever rear springs are
acknowledged to be the easiest riding
springs ever designed.
The use of these springs reduce to a
minimum the jarring produced by driving
over rough or uneven roads.
