Governor Brumbaugh is receiving
anniversary as chief executive of the
State. In the first year of his ad-

STEELTON ASKS
COUNTY'S HELP
IN PAVING WORK
Borough Councilmen Want
Dauphin TO Join in Appeal
For State Roadway Aid

Steelton this morning officially
asked Dauphin county to join with it
in obtaining the States aid to pave
Front street from a point short dis
tance between Chambers street to the
borough limits of Highspire.
Lack of available money allowed by
the State to Dauphin county for 1916
will preclude the starting of the work
this year although it is practically GER
tain that the Improvement can be
accomplished early in 1917.
In the meantime the Steelton au-
thorities will ascertain from the State
highway department Just how the fin
ances stand with respect to the pro
posed road for this year.
Nine Miles of Paved Highway
The county commissioners expressed
their earnest dsire to cooperate with
the Steelton officials in bringing about
the improvement of the highway be-
tween Highspire and the steel town
and the county's financial status will
be definitely determined when the
commissioners prepare the budget foi
the ensuing year. If the county pos
sibly can do so, the Steelton officials
were assured this morning. the county
will figure on its share of the cost OF
the work from probable balances al
the end of this year. This can be es-
timated as soon as the budget is pre-
pared.
The section which county commits.
sioners were asked to help out on COW
ers a stretch of about $500 feet, the
distance between the old and the new
borough lines.
Will Cost $4,000
About $4,000 will be required fol
the purpose. Under the State-aio
plan the Commonwealth will appropri.
ate half of this-about $4,000. The
remainder will be divided on a fifty
fifty basis between Steelton borough
and the county. or $4,000 each.
