LEBANON LEADS TOSSERS IN
CENTRAL PENN. CAGE LEAGUE
Captain Gigs Moore Is Best Scorer: Some Hopeless
Including Tech High Quintet

In addition to the game at York
the other contest to be played in the
league will be Steelton at Reading. 1t
Should be a close battle. The fact
that Lebanon defeated Reading on
the former floor by bare two points,
hard time to keep it's lead until the
close of the season.
Captain Gigs" Moore of the Leb-
anon aggregation is far ahead of his
nearest competitor for the scoring
honors of the league. Moore set a
league record that will be hard to
beat last Wednesday night when he
rang up II field goals in the Tech
contest against Captain Pollock. Kill
niger of Tech, has the record for the
season in one contest with the same
number in the game against Lancas-
ter.
Moore's Big Scores
Moore has tailed the following
points in the five games he has play
ed: Steelton, 16; Tech, II; Reading,
20; Tech. 81; Steelton, IA. This gives
the tow-headed lad total of 93
points, an average of 1876 per game.
= Eddie Harris is the leading scorer
for tie Tech crew.
Nyqulst leads in points for Read
ing; Gingrich, for York, while Day
hon has scored more often at Steelton
than any of his teammates.
The first comparison of the relative
merits of Tech and Steelton will be
made this week after Tech and the
edral floor. In the Tech interclass
basketball series, the Freshmen. lead
ers of the race, will have the second
year lads as their opponents in the
same Tuesday afternoon in the Tech
gymnasium.

Balance Shows $4,000
Excess in County Treasure

AS a result of economical measures
on the part of county officials. and
slight delay in some of the improve
ment programs planned a balance of
S23,39S in excess of the total for 1915
is in the hands of County Treasurer
Mark Mumma, according to the an
nua1 report of County Controller
Henry w. Cough.
The treasury balance for 1915 was
S13S.277.54; for 1916, s161,676.05.
Although much of the excess will
in all probability be needed to defray
additional expenses which must be
provided for in the annual budget of
the County Commissioners, arrange
ments will be made to build additional
bridges in various parts of the coun-
ty. No increase in the present tax
rate of mills is expected.
Plans are being made to build a
bridge at Lyonsville, to cost about
$4,000 and other smaller bridges, one
on the road between Millersburg and
Killinger. Work on one across the
Paxton creek in Susquehanna town
ship will be completed
Additional expenditures which
probably will be included in the
budget this year for the county COM
missioners, are an increase of 81. 900
for the maintenance of prisoners in
Eastern penitentiary; $4,000 for the
proposed election of a successor to
City Commissioner Harry T. Bow
man; $4,000 in the county poor df-
rectors' budget, and $4,000 for prison
inspection.
A feature of tie report is the saw
ing of more than $4,000 by the re-
demption of bonds of the sinking
fund. Bonds of the issue of 1901
valued at 100000 were redeemed for
$4,000. and one 1000 bond of 1902
was redeemed for $3.50. saving the
county S2,070.
Total resources are s1,326,3s5.47;
bonded debt, S421, 100000 and surplus,
S905.3s5.47.
