the auspices of the Division of Munic-
ipal Statistics and Information of the
Department of Labor and Industry.
A. b. Farquhar, Chairman of the
York Planning Commission, who pre-
sided, voiced the belief that third class
cities offer greater fields of works for
planning commissions than do larger
municipalities.
Advantages of Planning
Virtually every speaker expressed
aversion to hasty adoption of great
comprehensive plans before the pub
lie is educated to the benefits of city
planning. Ed S. Herman and B. F.
Umberger outlined the city planning
accomplishments effected in Harris
burg.
The advantages of combining all city
planning commissions in third class
cities into one association to meet pro-
blems confronting individual commits
sions in a cooperative manner was
suggested by Mr.. Herman.
Mr.. Umberger declared that the
chief asset of planning commissions
is cooperation of the newspapers. He
asserted that the newspapers of Har-
risburg have been the greatest aid to
the local commission not only in sup
porting the work or the commission
but in urging it to greater activities.
Charles H. Strong and Leo j. Beutt-
ner, of Johnstown, declared that their

greatest difficulty is In obtaining from
clerks of councils. or adjoining bor-
oughs ordinances affecting streets
joining highways in Johnstown. They
expressed the opinioH that legislation
should be passed imposing penalties
when clerks of councils do not submit
copies of ordinances to planning COM
missions.
One Woman Present
Mrs. Rosa NJ. Ward, of Chester, the
only woman attending the conference,
declared that although the city plan
ming commission has peen in existence,
in Chester, for three years that it has
not obtained recognition to any extent
from council. She asserted that the
commission has received no appropria-
ton and that the members must even
use their own note paper. She fur
ther declared that the city solicitor of
Chester says that the planning COM
mission is only advisory and has no
authority.
The visiting commissioners will tour
Harrisburg, in automobiles, this after
noon, to inspect the public improve
ments.
Among those present were:
