WILLIAM PENN HOTEL
Pittsburgh Post.l


The opening of the new William
Penn Hotel, Sixth avenue, is matter
of unusual Importance to Pittsburgh
as, in connection with changes made
recently in our auditorium facilities, it
warrants the announcement that the
city is prepared on a generous scale
to entertain the largest conventions of
the country This shows how distinct
ly the opening of a new hostelry of
this dimension is of civic concern.
While conducted as a private enter
prise, it contributes to the prestige of
the city in its entertainment of visitors
and in accommodating the social spirit
of residents with facilities for ban
quets, dinner parties and other diver
sions. AS Pittsburghers advertise
their great mills wherever they go
they must now proclaim the superior
hotel facilities of the city. AS we
speak of the William Penn as the
largest hotel in Pittsburgh, it is to be
emphasized as well that it is one of
the seven largest of the United States
and of beauty of design and appoint
ment surpassed by none. It's man
agement gives every indication of a
determination to conduct it in keeping
with the name it has taken. The Will
liam Penn represents an investment
of 100000
Recalling that in 1912 Pittsburgh
considered itself prepared to accom-
modate one of the national political
conventions, the Importance of the
additional strength given in that line
by this new hotel will stand out. 1t
has 1000 rooms, each with bath. The
Fort Pitt, the city's next largest hotel,
has $50 rooms. The William Penn
could seat 1900 at table; the Fort
Pitt has seated 1900.
AS for the city auditorium capacity:
The main hall of the Exposition build
| ing could, with small expenditure, be
enlarged and seated for $4,000. That
would accommodate any national con-
vention, as reports of from $4,000 to
1000 at some of the political gather
ings are considered as exaggerations
there never having been anything like
an accurate count.
AS the management of the William
Penn is congratulated on the auspi-
cious opening of the new hotel, it Is
for the city to congratulate itself or
the increase in its facilities for ac-
commodating the public and for the
world to take notice that we are ready
| for the biggest conventions

MIR. ALBERTS COMING

III munlClpal improvement ana

the reception being planned by the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce,
the Harrisburg Rotary Club and the
Harrisburg Civic Club in honor of the
coming tomorrow of Allen d. Albert,
of Minneapolis, who will speak on "a
National Review of Civic Progress and
Activities" and The Forces That
Make Cities"
Harrisburg has just completed an
epoch of public improvements. 1t has
paused for a moment to take breath
ana to plan for the future. Mr..
Albert, who is a city expert of note,
comes with his message at an oppor-
tune moment.
The planning of a city, as Frank
Rooster, city expert and consulting
engineer, recently said in an article
on the subject, like the planning of
anything else, should be carried out
with a view to the use which is to be
made of it and to adapt it best to that
use and in addition to make it as
pleasing from an artistic point of view
strength in the design, and IL strength
he economically manifested the artis-
tic enrichment of the design will be
easily effected.
Practical city planning is not only
not necessarily a source of expense to
the city, but it is frequently a means
of profit, comforting it's benefits not
s,at 4 I.,,N
relieving them of large part of the
burdens of taxation.
But whether Immediately profitable
or not, city planning is not only a
duty of the present, but an obligation
10 posterity. No owner of a growing
manufacturing enterprise would
neglect to properly plan extensions:
but most cities, which are in reality
uper-enterprises, grow and expand
without plan or forethought, gener-
ating congestion, waste, poverty and
the necessity of enormous eXpendi-
lures in later years to correct faults
which a stroke of the pen of the city
planner, at the proper moment, would
have obtained.
1lly pldllllhS uSISIllllllSS iIle
destiny of a city. 1t develops artistic
Taste, civic pride and patriotism; it
makes better citizens and artisans; it
adds to health, comfort and happi-
ness; it helps to increase population
and produce industrial prosperity.
City planning attracts Industries,
commerce and visitors; it produces
better transportation facilities, inn
proved hygienic conditions, and more
adequate and less expensive living
uuarters and food supplies. 1t is a
business proposition of the first i'm
portance.
Our City Planning Commission has

will have been we'll worth while. But
he will do more than that-he will
bring to Harrisburg all of the wealth
of experience he has acquired in the
review of scores of cities the country
over. We may expect TO get from him
some idea of where we stand with
relation to our sister cities, something
that we must know If we are to judge
ourselves properly. Every Harrisburg
man and woman who has an interest
in the city should be at the Technical
High School tomorrow evening.

THE STATE FROM DAY TO DAY

Here's one that Baron Munchausen
might willingly have adopted for his
own; not that the story is not true,
because we believe in the truth or
everything that appears in the daily
press, but this one is sufficiently un-
usual to call for especial comment.
Young Gene Park, of Horsham. was
handing a loaded rife to Young
Daniel Stone of Hatboro when the
gun was discharged, the bullet passing
through the formers left hand and
lodging in the latters sturdy right.
Evident impartiality!

Chester, and member of a fire de-
partment at that, set fire to his bed

ascertain whether the man was
former gridiron warrior.
The unnecessary ringing of the fire
bells in York was the subject OF con-
siderable discussion the other evening

companies go away on trips or are
visited by out-of-town companies are
not judged appropriate occasions for
the ringing Of bells. We might sug-
gest that there is room for some i'm
provement in this city in the matter
of the soul-terrifying siren that is sutti-
cient to wake the dead when in the
dead of night 1t startles from their
beds poor old fellows with tendency
