the city paid for the Reservoir Park
Tontage.

feet; c. Howard Lloyd, frontage of
5i.75 feet, and Harry Rineard, front
age of 1925 rect, were the property
owners who carried the fight into
court in test cases.
Judgment Against City
In deciding against the city the
plaintiffs are awarded judgment in
sums respectively of $4O1.69, S235.5S
and S611.53, with interest in each in
stance dating from November 12, 1914.
In brief President Judge Kunkel
holds that the property owners on the
eastern side of the street are liable for
cost of paving only to the center line
of the street, as the half on the west
ern side abuts on park property, or
city 'nonassessa BILE" property.
The Opinion
Judge Kunkefs opinion on the sub
ject follows:
'At the time the paving and curbing
OF Front street was finished and the
assessment to pay the cost thereof was
made, the strip of land lying between
the low water mark of the Susque-
hanna river and the western line of
that part of the street which was paved
vas held and owned by the city for
public park purposes. But whether
Fl ont street was bounded on the west
ern side at low water by the river or
by the public park, the result of this
litigation must be the same. If the
western boundary line was the public
park, ii was bounded by the property
of the city of Harrisburg. In either
event the street was bounded on the
west by nonaSsessa bic property.
NonasscSSable Property
''The character of the property was
expressly excepted out of the assess
ment which was authorized to be made
10 pay the cost of paving and curbing
the street. The ordinance authorized
the cost of paving and curbing to be
apportioned among all the property
fronting along both sides of the street,
except the cost and expense of paving
and Curbing in front of nonassessable
properties There was, therefore, no
authority to make an assessment which
would include the cost of paving and
curbing along or in front of the river
or the park. That part of the cost of
the improvement was assumed by the
city itself. as it had the power to do.
The assessments against the de-
PENDANTS, so far as they represent the
cost of the paving and curbing in front
of the property forming the western
boundary of Front street, were made
without authority and cannot be sus-

At the entrance to the second sleep

dropped into the hat.
When the collection was finished,
the robber handed the guard a watch.
There's the watch / got on my last
holdup and which ] promised to re-
turn at this time" he said.
IF you'll slow down the train, I'll
get off here, otherwise I'll go TO

AS the train slackened speed for the
Edison tunnel the man dropped to
the ground and ran in the direction of
tho Robbers Roost" country in the
Elk Mountain region.
The bandit who robbed the Union
Pacific Overland Limited at Corlett
Junction, promised the porter who
collected for him on that occasion, he
would return a watch he had taken
upon his next exploit.

tee in the park offices and while no
Withholding by Council of necessary
funds to erect the statue, it is certain
that the matter will be discussed at
the big mass meeting of canoeists,
mOtorboatmen and other river en-
thusiasts to be held in the near flu
ture. A. p. Dintaman's boat pavilion
will be the meeting place.
Return Postcards
Within day or two return" post
card invitations to all who are inter
ested in aquatic sports will be sent
out by V. Grant Forrer, assistant super
intendent of the park department, re-
questing their attendance at a mass
meeting to decide how funds can be
raised for this years carnival.
That the question of finances of
course, is the big nut to be cracked
satisfactorily before a carnival can
be planned, was the concensus of the
committees opinion and 1t was de-
cided to take proper steps to secure
financial aid either from the city or
from the various civic and CONNER
cial bodies.
Council will be asked first and a
committee consisting of Ira c. Kind
Ter. Thomas NJ. Kelker and Martin
Keet was named to draught a resoIu-
ton on the subject for presentation
to Council. This, of course, will be
passed upon by the main body of
canoeists.
To Obtain Sentiment
The intention is to obtain the senti-
ment officially of all the hundreds of
canoeists and other pleasure craft
owners to submit to the city commits
sioners and this will be obtained, it is
expected at the mass meeting of the
interested water sportsmen. Those
who can't attend the meeting will be
asked to indicate on the return" post
card whether or not they favor asking
Council for an appropriation.
No sum was specifically decided
upon last evening although the COM
mittee generally favored a request for
at least $1,000.
Should Council refuse to help the
project by declining to provide an ap-
preparation. then the Chamber of
Commerce, the Rotary Club, the Mu-
nicipal League, the Civic Club and
other civic and commercial organ
izations will be asked to cooperate.

Hundreds of Complaints

This order relieved the situation.
and 1t is believed now that the regular
schedule will be followed out for the
first time in weeks. The strike and i's
resultant disadvantages, however
has caused the city health authorities
more than a little trouble, according
to DR.. Raunick, and hundreds of com
plants have been received.
Annual cleanup week" held each
Spring, may not take place because of
the situation at present. The bonding
company will probably send a man to
Harrisburg in the near future, accord
ing to DIR. Raunick, to investigate
conditions.
Unless regular schedule is resumed
in short time, it will be almost i'm
possible, according to the city health
officer, to have a cleanup period, as
1t will keep all of the Reduction Com
pany employees busy making the usual
collections. The Reduction Company
has the contract for removing ashes
and garbage from the city until
February ], 1918.
Samuel Gardner. of the Reduction
Company, when the employees were on
strike, made every effort to relieve
the situation and had the men at work
