Unsafe to Be on Streets
After Dark, Priest Asserts

Steelton's inadequate police protec-
ton was the subject of much discus
sion before council last evening.
Letters describing conditions were
received from the Municipal League
and from the Rev. Father George Pop
ovitch, rector of st. Nicholas Serbian
Orthodox church. Each appealed to
council for speedy aid.
Evidently desiring to obtain more
than the regular protection the John
Hoffer Flour Milling Co. requested
councils permission 10 employ an off,
Ger of their own. The request was
granted.
Priest Begs for Relief
Father Popovitch described condi-
tions fully and declared that "It is
hardly safe for a good citizen to be on
the streets after dark" in the lower
end of the borough, where he declar-
ed. it is nightly occurance to hear the
discharge of firearms and the mutter-
ings of drunken men. He closed his
letter with an urgent appeal for relief.
The Municipal League, the bor-
ough's most conservative and progress
sive organization. wrote a letter endor-
sing a recent motion for additional
patrolmen and described the condi-
tions as really bad.
Mr.. Sellers asked that something be
done soon and pointed out that at a
recent term OF court nineteen out of
