faken bv Cities

Thousands of dollars of funds of
Pennsylvania cities and boroughs
and even of townships were in
vested in Liberty Loan bonds last
month according to reports COM
ing to the Bureau of municipalities
of the Department of Labor and In
dustry. The bureau had issued a
letter urging such investments to be
made out of sinking and surplus
funds, the state having shown the
way by investing its own Workmen's
Insurance and Permanent School
funds in the National bonds.
j. Herman Knisely, Chief of the
Bureau of Municipalities, said to-day
that at Dubois Mayor Haag called a
special meeting of council and in
vested approximately S26, 500 in the
Liberty Loan. The borough of
Stroudsburg redeemed some of it's
bonds and the money paid to the
holders was reinvested in the Liberty
Loan. Bradford invested $1,000
available in the Liberty Loan; Mil
lersburg, $4,000; Reading, $4,000;
Lebanon, $50, 900; while Sharon and

Fire Losses Decrease Food
Supply Needed in War

From May / to October 16 Gn-
clusive). this year. enough food has
gone up in smoke in the United
States, every minute, to feed 1876
American soldiers one day. or to feed
one American soldier 1876 days.
Multiply this $50.45 by minutes
and hours in the 169 days in five
and one-half months, and you have
the stupendous sum of S12,274,050,
which is the known food fire loss of
the country during the period under
consideration.
The unknown food fire loss of the
period might easily double this to-
tai, as there is no means of tabulat-
ing-or even identifying-many of
these losses, which include food de-
stroyed by fire in residences, apart
ment houses. restaurants, hotels,
groceries, general and department
stores, bakeries and delicatessen
shops, farm barns and other build
ings, and considerable amounts in
transit by rail and water.
This known fire loss has involved
the destruction of enough food to
supply the potential American Army
of a million men abroad for thirty
three days at the regular Army al
lowance of thirty-seven cents per
diem for each man, with an extra
meal for half a million men.

JURISDICTION
QUESTION ENDS
Commissioner Alcorn Deter
mines Proposition Against
Natural Gas Company

Public Service Commissioners
James Alcorn has overruled the de-
murrer filed by the Fayette County
Gas Company that the Public Ser
vice Commission OF PENNSYLVANIA is
without Jurisdiction to consider n
complaint filed against its rates by
the Trades and Labor Council of
Un1ontown; John Duggan. of Con-
nellSVille, and others, on the ground
that it obtains its supply of gas from
West Virginia. The Commissioner
says that the company is subject to
Pennsylvania jurisdiction and the
commission can regulate its rates.
He orders hearing to proceed.
In his opinion Commissioner AL
corn says: IF the contention OF the
respondent be sustained then a nat
ural gas company distributing
gas to consumers in the State
of Pennsylvania would be free
from any control if any of the gas
came from q foreign state. This
would be contrary to sound public
policy. Were it n question OF

obliged to hold that it was beyond
the control of the state, even though
no regulation has been provided by
Congress. The business of this re-
spondent company so far as it is
affected by the rates in question does
not partake of the nature of inter
state commerce. 1t is purely n local
matter The respondent carries on
this business by permission of the
state and its present operations are
restricted to consumers within the
state"
Commissioner Milton J. Brecht
has dismissed the complaint of Fred
Palmer-Peroner against the Con-
sumers Gas Company, of Reading, in
which it is held that the testimony
shows that it would cost $500 to eX-
tend mains on a block to give the
complainant gas service and that
there it is not shown that there is
a demand for service. 1t is also
noted that there is no prospect OF
securing when the extension was
made more than six - all consumers
and they would use gas only for fuel
in summer months.

resigned, but acceptance is uncer-
tain.
1t was the regular Friday after
noon public rehearsal of the orches-
ira. as usual a society event, with
the lack of the usual small number
of vacant seats. Symphony Hall,
above which floated a United States
flag, in response to public demand
for 1t, was filled. The audience was
curious. as there had been reports
the halls license was to- be revoked
unless the anthem was played.
Inserted into each program was a
printed sheet reading: THE Star
Spangled Banner will be played as
the closing number" The buzz of
comment over this had not died
down before Major Henry Lee Hig-
ginson, founder and principal patron
of the orchestra, walked on the stage
amid applause. He said:
'I have asked Doctor Muck and
the orchestra to play the Star
Spangled Banner They have never
refused to play it. Last spring II
was my earnest request of Doctor
Muck that he remain in charge, rs
J considered it essential to the con-
timed success OF these concerts.
He has placed his resignation I'm
my hands, that no perconal feeling
rsainst him may prejudice the well
fare of tho orchestra. To lose him
would he disaster. The question rests
With me. II will have my earnest con-
siderati ton"
Then Doctor Muck came on to
load. He shook hands with MAJOR
1igginSon and was given great ova-
ton. The audience stood up TO greet
him. After the completion OF tho
anthem, as announced. he received
another great tribute Of applause.
