RiUerside's Hope
of Annexation Is
Blasted by Council

Riverside. the hustling little suburb
to the north of Harrisburg, to-day
formally withdrew its petition for an
nexation to the city.
For weeks the question of annex
alton has been threshed out at length
and week ago Charles L. Smith and
Thomas +. Burns, committee repre-
senting the petitioners. intimated that
Riverside folks, wearying of the par
leying and the delay preferred to
withdraw their petition.
Council postponed action until to-
day, however and on motion of Mr..
Gross, superintendent of parks, the re-
quest for withdrawal was granted.
Riverside, according to Mr.. Burns,
will not make further effort to come
into the city, but will now take steps
to seek incorporation as a borough.
In suggesting that the withdrawal
be permitted Commissioner Gross said
1t has unfortunately been discovered
that the cost of putting down new
sewer connections, providing for prop
er water lines, electric light, paving
and other facilities would be such as
to make 1t unsatisfactory for the city
at this time.
Council passed finally to-day the or
dinance prohibiting the parking OF
automobiles and other vehicles
in Fourth street between Market and
Chestnut streets. upon penalty OF IS
$40 and S25 fines for first, second and
each subsequent offense.

of over-crowded quarters and bad

The Law and Order League has
taken this step both for the good of

is engendered and encouraged where
too many families occupy the same
house.
