See in Monastir Useful
Railhead Opening Way
For Advance Into Serbia

London, Nov. 20. - The fall of
Monastir on the anniversary of it's
capture by the Serbs from the Turks
in 1912 is hailed by the morning pa
pers as being of considerable political
and military Importance. 1t is argued
that as Bulgarias main object in
entering the war was the possession
of Macedonia, the loss of the Mace
donian capital must bring an acute
sense of failure both to the Bulgar
politicians and military officers
on the other hand it is contended
that the recapture of the town will
greatly encourage the Serbs. whose
recent valiant capture of kaimak-
calan mountain prepared the way for
the city's fall. The recapture of
Monastir had been expected here but
it came sooner than had been antici-
paed. and with almost dramatic sud-
denness.
The military commentators recog-
nize that Monastir is not first rate
military position, but they contend
it will be a useful railhead opening
the way for an advance into Serbia
proper.

Simplicity an Essential
in Motorcar Driving

Ir considering the purchase of an
automobile it is n good rule to figure
out in advance all the prospective
requirements to be placed on the car.
said E. w. Shank, local distributor for
the Franklin. Is the car to be used
for business purposes, for pleasure,
for everyday trips around town, for
touring or to meet different needs?
Then. the man who is about to in
vest in a car should consider the ques-
ton of who is to drive it - whether
he is going to be the driver, his
wife or other member of the family
or a chauffeur. By putting these
things down on paper and striking
an average" as it were, there ought
to be no mistake in selecting the car
best suited to perform the service
which will be required.
In connection with every purchase,
no matter what conditions are to be
met, there is another fundamental
consideration, and that is simplicity.
It's importance cannot be too strongly
emphasized, especially if the buyer
knows little or nothing about things
mechanical and does not propose to
employ an expert to look after the
car.
If you are going to drive the car
yourself you want the car which is
the easiest to operate, a car simple
in design and construction, easy to
understand and easy to take care of
Unnecessary complications can always
be criticised, even when an expert
mechanic is in charge.
There is growing recognition OF
the value of simplicity as an auto
mobile element, for the reasons in
dicated in the foregoing. Besides, the
prudent investor in a motorcar ap-
preciates that by the elimination ot
unnecessary parts there is going to be
large saving in the cost of opera
tion-in the gasoline, tire and repair
| bills.
| Undoubtedly the time will come
when the car with the smallest mum.
her of parts will sell for the highes
price because 1t will be the eheapes
in the long run.

Use Of Chamois Gasoline
Strainer Causes Fire

Using chamois as strainer for gas
oline nearly cost DR.. John c. Stevens,
24O South Thirteenth street, the loss
of his auto yesterday afternoon. A
copper funnel and the chamois was
just the right combination to produce
an electric spark, which ignited the
gasoline. The prompt use of fire
eXtinguisher prevented the flames
from spreading. The damage to the
top will not exceed $25. The use of
chamois as a strainer for gasoline
is very dangerous and the employees
of the oil companies are specially
cautioned against it.

PLAN TO LIGHT CITY
VIA WATER FUND


tendent of Finance. is in accord with
the suggestion OF, Mayor Meals. Il
understand the law of 1873 and the
Clark act recognize a light and water
department" said Commissioner Cor
gas to-day. If the city should have
its own lighting plant, it could collect
from the people Just as is now done
for water, and there would seem to be
no good reason why the excess re-
ceipts should not be applied by the
city toward the cost of lighting"
Simply because the city has its own
water system but chooses to pay a pri-
vate corporation for its light in the
Judgment of Commissioner Gorgas,
does not constitute any good reason
for refusing to meet the cost of the
lighting from excess receipts of the
Water Department.
In his report for 1915 Mr.. Gorgas
pointed out that as the department S
earnings for the past six years had
not been less than 100000 a year the
entire debt of the Water Department
would he wiped out this year. He is
decidedly of the opinion that the earn
ings should be applied to the lighting
account.
Cough Once Mentioned 1t
In his report for 1913 Henry W.
Cough, then City Controller, called at
tention to the increasing surplus of
out that with the increase of the city
the receipts from the sale or water
would naturally increase without a
corresponding increase of expenditure
and that the annual surplus would
continue to grow. He then recon-
mended that this surplus might be
utilized in reducing the water rates
which has been done; in the redemp-
ton of outstanding water bonds,
which has already been provided for,
or in placing the entire lighting of the
city in the hands of the Board of
Water Commissioners. 1t was the
opinion of Mr.. Cough that this ac-
cumulating surplus from water
could be diverted to the general reve-
nues and thus materially aid in reduc-
ing taxation. In the same report he
recomme the investment of sur
plus water funds in public improve
ment bonds which has since been the
practice.
Other Expenditures
As the taxpayers would be greatly
benefited by this financial arrange
ment and nobody could be injured it
would seem to be an easy matter to
divert these surplus water funds to
meet the cost of city lighting and thus
provide without burdensome taxation
for other necessary expenditures.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-11-20
Meals Insists Council
Should Provide Lighting
Bill From Water Funds

In brief interview to-day Mayor
Ezra S. Meals again declared that he
Will endeavor to push to a finish his
recent suggestion that the city pay for
its electric light bill from the surplus
earnings of the Water Department and
thus save a mill and a quarter annually
from the city tax rate. Said the
Mayor:
who's going to object If the move
means the reduction of a mill and a
quarter from the tax rate?
Who says such n move is illegal?
The city's legal adviser? Suppose he
does. Is it absolutely necessary to
adhere strictly to that?
Who owns the city's water plant?
The people, do they not? Then who
but the people should benefit?
so, say that while we should ask
the Legislature to change the law to
provide for this diversion of funds if
this be necessary, such action cannot
be undertaken before the budget for
1917 is completed Therefore we
should act now. Let's take the money.
sixty-eight thousand. or as much as
the lighting fund will require. at least
and pay for our street lighting from
the Water Department earnings
City Commissioner Bowman says
this transfer cannot be made" sug-
gested the interviewer
What If he does? If we have
enough IN COuncll TO pass 1t. let's do
so. Mr.. Gorgas is for it; l believe Mr..
Cross will be, and Mr.. Lynch is for il
! If il can be done. Why not do it? If
anyone wants to question the legality
of il, let him take it into the courts.
"Of course the city hasn't the right
to earn q surplus after it's indebted
/ ness is paid off; naturally the theory is
that accumulation of money could be
kept down by reducing the water
rents. But nobody is complaining
about the water rents now. And we've
this big surplus. Why not put it TO
good use? The lighting department
! is part of the Water Department;
| the two are connected-the Bureau
of Water and Lighting the law reads.
IF we reduce the water rents TO
practically nothing in order to avoid
the accumulation of surplus, then
we are not acting fairly to the owner
of property who pays taxes and water
rent and so on in the city. The smaller
renter, the man who owns no properly
and whose only outlay of expense for
enjoying all our modern improve
ments. lights. water, paved streets.
etc. is he even to be relieved of the
water rent If a nominal fee is to be
charged? Is this fair to the property
owner who must pay his taxes here
OF course it isn't. And | believe the
majority of people think the same way
