NuLLERsBURG MOTOR GLUE

TIME Millersburg Motor Club an
nounces its annual banquet for
the evening of April 4. This club
is one of the live wires of the upper
end and it is not likely that the occa-
sion will be allowed to pass without
some action looking toward the inn
provement of the highway between
this city and that town.
state Highway Commissioner Cum
nineham has taken steps to that end
and motorists will not rest content
until the biggest town in the upper end
is connected by good road with the
capital Of the county. Another matter
that has had the attention of the Mil
lersburg club for some time is the
project of a bridge across the Susque-
hanna at Millersburg. Eventually this
must come. MillersburG and all Dau-
phin county would profit thereby and
II means of communication between
the east and west shores of the river
would do much to provide a proper
outlet for the agricultural products of
that thriving district and for general
interchange of trade.

adopted by progressive manufacturers

One of his faVorite projects was the
esta blishment of community store
which should retail the necessities of
life at wholesale prices; and the store
was actually opened and operated
for a time upon that basis. But the
mills passed out of Whaley's hands
and into those of a great corpora
ton, which tried to run the store as
a part of its business.
This attempt was a failure, appar-
emily because of the refusal of the
workers 10 patronize il. The store
then passed into the hands of COM
mercial company, which likewise
made a failure of its operation and
was glad to get out.
At this point. another man OF ideals
entered into the situation in the per-
son OF Fl. G. Wellborn, who was then
manager of the Cotton Mills Company.

way of operating this store so that ii
would be both a convenience and an

in order to determine how this might
be done, he went to the people them

Kitchen. The living room Is required
to be of q certain siZe-in Wiesbaden,
/ 75 square feet throughout Baden.
107 square feet; in Karlsruhe, 130
square feet in Mannheim, 160 square
/ feet, at the minimum. In the latter
city the kitchen must be not less than
1870 square feet in area. There are
also requirements as TO the total area
of the rooms, which in Dusseldorf.
Magdenburg and throughout SaXony
must be not less than S2O square
feet.
The height of the rooms is generally
! placed at not less than 2.5 meters. or
So feet, while the window area must
\ be from ne-eighth TO one-twelfth of
the area of the floor, an average
I figure being one-tenth.
The regulations as to space not built
upon are sometimes based on the num-
ber of families occupying a building.
In Altoona $50 square feet per family
must be left. open in tie main portions
of the city, while in the suburbs 100
square feet per family must be left
open.
Among other regulations are those
in reference to light, there being pro-
visions to the effect that certain win
dows of buildings shall receive light at
angles of from 80 TO so degrees over
the walls of others, but these regula-
tions are of a somewhat complicated
nature and not easily applied. In Lon

Regulations in some German cities
extend to the styles of architecture.
For example. in old cities which were
once fortified, such as Nuremberg. all
buildings within the ring or location
of the old Notifications must be built
in the fourteenth century style This
regulation preserves the individuality
and atmosphere of the central por-
tion of the city. In Dresden, in GER
tain residential districts. peculiar
kind of iron fence of certain height
and design is required, which gives
that portion of the city a decided in
dividuality. The whims of household
ers thus are not permitted to destroy
the appearance of the city.
We in Harrisburg may not he, and
probably are not, ready to go to these
lengths as a whole. But they offer
valuable suggestions and certainly
we owe our people more than shelter
from the elements in the way of an
abiding place. Every man. woman
and child has right TO a fair share
of sunlight and air. Every one of
them must have these things, and
something in the way of beauty, too,
If we are TO grow and develop as a
city as we so much desire to do. We
have done fairly well along other
lines. Now let us take up seriously
and aggressively this housing prob
lem, and solve it.

A NEW BUILDING CODE

HARRISBURGE heard many
things of interest in the address
of Allen -. Albert at the Tech
nical High School last evening, but
nothing of more immediate import
ance than the enactment of a new
and up-to-dat building code for the
city. No European city of any size
would for a moment tolerate the
crimes against utility and beauty inn
posed upon us by every builder who
chooses the wrong or selfish way in
stead of the right and public-spirited
way.
Frank Koester, city planner and
author of Modern City Planning and
Maintenance" goes at some length
into the codes of foreign cities and
shows that 1t is only by strict super
vision that the admirable results ac-
complished there may be attained
here. For example, the regulation
heights of buildings, on which Mr.. AL
bert laid so much stress in his ad-
dress last evening" he finds is one of
a considerable number of regulations
enforced abroad. Among other inn
portant ones are those affecting the
ratio OF the area of the building TO
that of the lot, the separation of
buildings classes of buildings, classes
of areas between buildings minimum
number of rooms in an apartment.
window area, height OF ceilings and
cubic contents of sleeping rooms.
The area of the lot which may be
built over in cities in the grand duchy
of Baden, for instance, the regulations
of which are regarded as being very
well worked out, varies, according to
the zone, from three-quarters TO four
fifths of the total area. In the out
lying districts these figures are re-
versed, 1t being permissible to build
only over from one-quarter to one
fifth of the total area OF the lot.
In other cities the regulations vary.
being about on the same basis, but al
ways differing in accordance with the
zone.
The buildings and the courts are di-
vided into from five to nine different
classes, and regulations are made to
suit each class.
The regulations abroad in regard to
the classes OF buildings which are
used as workingmen's homes require

WE WANT NONE OF THEM

EoUR chicken thieves, convicted
and ordered out of Cumberland
county for a period of years, are
headed this way, news dispatches say.
With all due respect for the courts
of Cumberland county, we want none
of this gentry. The Telegraph agrees
most heartily with a recently expressed
sentiment of Judge Kunkel, who said
he doubted the wisdom of ridding one
county of criminals by ordering them
into another. Judge Kunkel expressed
the belief that the judges of the State
are not responsible for law and order
merely within the confines of their
own districts. but that 1t is their duty
to safeguard society in all of the coun-
ties. so far as it lies within their power,
and to punish by imprisonment or fine
rather than by ordering violators of
the law from one county into another.
Dauphin county has sufficient law
breakers of its own. It wants none
from Cumberland or any other county.

Those hopeful persons who are look
ing for an early adjournment of Con-
gress should forget it. Only one ap-
preparation bill has been thus far pass
ed-and the revenue legislation has not
yet been thought of in any serious man
ner. Secretary McAdoo is now off on a
iunketing trip to South America and
viii not be back in Washington until
about the middle of May. Congress
will not take up the discussion of reve-
nue. bills until after that-and it is
evident that the most vigorous contests
of the session will turn upon the ques-
tion of taxation. If nothing is done
on the tax bills until the middle of
May, how long will it take TO dispose
of them. under the ordinary conditions
which prevail in Congress? II the ses-
sion can be brought to an end by Oc-
tober. it will surprise many expert
enced observers.
