CONSIDER $4,000
BATHHOUSE ITEM
Council at First Budget Con-
ference Discusses Request;
All. Donate!

Municipal bathhouse and bathing
beach possibilities for 1917 got a step
nearer realization last evening when
City Council held it's first informal
conference on the budget plans and
considered among other items. the
provision of $4,000 for city bathing
facilities.
Park Commissioner E. u. Gross, at
the earnest behest of the Greater Har-
risburg Navy, wrote the $4,000 item
into the park departmental appropria-
tion estimate and it is generally be-
lieved that the allowance will be
agreed to.
While all of the departmental heads
submitted their estimates last evening,
the total was not made public as the
figures were entirely too tentative in
character according to councilmen to-
day. That the totals as submitted
would run the budget requirements
way, way beyond the city's resources
Is generally understood. Consequently,
some tall pairing is expected unless
the resources are augmented by the
addition of the surplus revenues of the
water department. And city circles is
pretty thoroughly convinced now that
these funds will be diverted to the
general city purse. Under any circum-
stances, 1t was pointed out to-day, If
even ordinary extensions ana improve
mentS are to be made, Council will
either have to use funds from the wa
ter department or boost the mill rate

Eternal Spring" which has been kept

budget to set up the group. City
commissioner Bowman, however,
pointed out that businessmen and
other citizens of the Hill will be glad
TO raise the necessary funds to erect
the fountain if the city decides to To-
cate it at the Twenty first street en-
trance to Reservoir instead of along
the park front at the foot of Locust
street.

evening for further budget confer
ence.

Questions Board Notice
In an effort to straighten out the
tangle Mr.. Bowman pointed out that
the Health Boards notice inadver-
tently specified metal covered ash
cans cans would be required but that this
was erroneous as the city garbage
contract contained no such stipulation
The Commissioner incidentally took
exception the newspaper headlines on
the subject and pointed out that the
headlines were prepared without con-
sulting with him.
Nothing But the Truth
"A few days ago an article was
printed in the several daily news
papers with the headline Residents
must provide properly covered cans
for Contractors convenience refer
ring to the ash collection in this city.
and further stated that a $50 penalty
would be imposed for any violations
of this ruling after January 1st 1917,
said Mr. Bowman.
These headlines were printed with
out my knowledge or authority The
truth of the matter is as follows:
There has been a great deal of
complaint about the ash collection
In our city. l requested the Board of
Health to have the contractor meet
with them on December 18th, which
meeting l also attended. We informed
the contractor that there was consid-
cradle trouble and annoyance to the
residents of the city on account of de-
layed and non-collections of ashes,
and Informed him that he would be
fined $50 for each week that the
schedule was not carried out as con-
tracted. He stated that it would be
impossible to carry out the schedule
so long as the residents used so many
such small receptacIes as coal buckets
peach Hoaskets, soap boxes, etc, that
his men were forced to make as many
as three trips to a single residence
and oftentimes through a long private
alley, Ntch consumed a great deal of
time. e then decided to notify the
public that the contract specifies that
all receptacles for ashes must be large
enough to hold from one busheI to
two bushels, and does not specify COW
cred cans for ashes.
II should suggest that the public
use any receptacle in fair condition
holding from one to two bushels, such
as galvanized wash tubs, grape buck
cts, wash boilers, or a good sized lard
can. If the receptacle is of smaller
capacity than one bushel, the contract
or Will not remove the ashes in such
contalner. as the contract distinctly
specifies mot less than one busheI or
more than two bushels" 1t is only
fair, IL the public expects the con-
tractor to live up to his contract, to
help him by providing the proper siz-
cd receptacles. You all know that
labor is very scarce and hard to get,
especially on a job of this kind.
II earnestly hope that the public
wlli assist us in this matter. and I
shall assure you that I shall do everv-
thing In my power to have the con-
tractor maintain his schedule,
In a statement issued by the Board
or Health under date of December
14th, it was inadvertently stated that
metal covered ash cans would be re-
CURED which is in error as the con-
tract does not stipulate this REQUIRE
ment."

Boston, Dec. 16. According to an
order promulgated by several of the
central western railroads that have
been furnishing the Allies with ex-
plosives via Jersey City and New York,
Boston will in the future get a sub
stantial part OF this export trade.
About 1000 carloads a month have
been shipped through New York, Jer-
sey City, Communipaw and other New
Jersey points. All but a small part
VIII be taken from these points for
shipment through the ports of Boston,
Baltimore, Philadelphia and in Cana
da.
Stops Work For Many
The railroad order not only will
take away from New York approx
inately 900 carloads a month, but will
compel the transfer to other ports of
the steamships that have been en-
gagged in munitions export trade. This
VIII put out of employment hundreds
OF lighters and scores of tugs and
their attendant crews.
Inc embargo by the railroads is the
result OF the Black Tom explosion in

ance forbidding the shipment of en-
plosives of any kind through it's linn
It's. The loss to Jersey City and New
ork is estimated at $5,000,000 a year.

FIRE ENGINE MAKES AN
EARLY MORNING RUN.

Fire Chief w. b. Posey made
MS nrst run for a fire at three
20 clock Saturday morning, when
a small frame dwelling I'M East
hickman was destroyed by fire.
Ihe alarm did not come in until
the house was too far gone to
save It, 1t was a frame house of
about four rooms, belonging to
Horace Nheatley and occupied
by Allen Greer, both colored.
Most of the contents were also
lost, as the occupants did not
wake up until the smoke began to
strange them. How the fire
started is not known.
Chief Posey s first run was
right up to the standard. He
made the trip from the west end
OF town, where the machine is
beng kept temporarily, to the
east end in three minutes, and
seven of the regular crew board
ed the engine enrOute. As the
building was almost burned
down, the hose was not coupled
up, but the crew remained on the
job with hand extinguishers to
prevent the spread of the flames.
This IS the first fire we've had
since July 18th, and the new en-
glne has been In commission since
July 18th.

the new law which limits each
