STREET LIGHTS
FOR HIGHSPRE
Ten Years of Agitation Will
Come to Head Tuesday;
Plan Is Favored

After ten years of agitation and ef-
fort on the part of leading citizens,
the borough of Highspire will obtain
lighted streets within the next few
months. This, at least, is the predic-
ton of a prominent councilman.
a call has been issued for a special
meeting of the borough fathers" next
tuesday evening when the plans for
lighting the borough streets with cleo
tricity will be considered. 1t is likely
that about forty lamps will he in
stalled at the various street intersec-
tons, if the plans are adopted, and
that the lamps will he of the same
type now used in Steelton.
During the past ten years increas-
ing sentiment favoring lighted streets
has caused the borough council to
make several attempts to solve the
question. \ municipally-owned plant
was considered and turned down.
Later a plan similar to the one in
operation at Royalton, where a dis
trioutins station is owned by the
borough and current is supplied by
the York Haven Power Co, was dis
cussed and finally an offer was made
by the Harrisburg Light and Power
Company and it is likely that this
company, which lights the streets of
Steelton, will be given the contract
TO light Highspire's streets

attempting to supplant stake racing
with overnight events. Mr.. Belmont
annd his turf associates have spent
many thousands of dollars TO keep
racing alive in this country for the
purpose OF perpetuating the breeding
industry. With racing abolished the
breeding of high-class horses would
soon come to end. With stakes
eliminate ed, the quality of racing ma
terial soon would dwindle to nothing
Mr.. Relmonts Indictment of the Pim-
leo managers Is follows:
"Pimlico had an opportunity to build
ers promised the turf authorities. whom
they are now ready to criticise.
some time ago that they would do SO.
, Now. however. that racing has a chance
to return to what ii ought TO ne they
not only fail to avail themselves OF
the chance to he helpful. but also puT-
sue a course which is detrimental to
the best interests of racing. They have
become n mere money making organi-
cation. and their claim that their
method is better for tine future of the
sport is specious hypocrisy.
II is assumed that Pimiicos antipathy
to stake races built Oh the usual lines
is prompted by desire to make money
ont of the par-mutuel machines. Some
stake events are reduced to two or
three starters and do rot promote
heavy speculation. By substituting
overnight events. which will attract a
larger number of starters. the Pimlico
managers probably figure on increased
commissions and brokerage from the
ibctting machines. In other worcs, sport
is of less importance than profitable
gambling.

August Bclmonts severe arraignment
of the Pimlico race track managers
because they suddenly have become
antagonistic to the early closing stake
system. which prevails wherever racing
and breeding are promoted. may lead
to a turf war. says Joe Villa in the
New York Evening Sun of Tuesday.
Unless the Pimlico managers recede
from their surprising position the
stewards of the Jockey Club, who are
the recognized governors of the turf
in this country, may refuse to issue
a license to the big Maryland track
for a meeting next spring. In the
event of such an embargo. which would
be backed by all the power which the
Jockey Club yields. Pimlico would
have to get along without licensed
trainers and riders. while horsemen
who race on the New York tracks
would refuse to send in their entries.
federal courts. just as Curley Brown
did several years ago. when the Jockey
Club refused to license his Laurel
track. Bat. inasmuch as the Jockey
Clubs action was sustained by Fed
eral Judge Ward, and the case was
not appealed. il is believed that the
turf governors would not fear the re-
suit of an application for restrain
ing order compelling them to keep
their hands off the famous old race
course near Baltimore.
Pimlico has incurred the hostility of
Mr.. Belmont and the Jockey Club by
