MANY POLES TO
BE EREMOVED FROM
HEART OF CITY
Hundreds Will Be Taken Out
and Wires Placed Under
ground; Cable Awards

Plans for the removal of several
hundred poles in the central district
are being considered, according to
an announcement to-day by city Of
ficials.
With the awarding of a contract
for 1000 feet of cable for police and
fre alarm telegraph systems, the city
to-day took the first step in the big
removal program which it is under
stood, will be completed by the first
of next year.
The new cable will be used for an
Underground line from the Mayor's
office to Court street, and north in
Court to Liberty street. City Elec-
trician Clark E. Diehl also requested
Council to consider the purchase of
additional cable to extend the line
north to Briggs street, and then east
to Cowden street If this stretch is
completed all the poles used by the
city and strung along Court, Briggs.
Cowden and through the entire Capt.
tol Park Extension zone can be taken
down in few months, Mr.. Diehl ex-
planned. This will mean the elimina-
ton OF scores of poles and much of
the overhead wiring.
A. L. IL L. to Follow
In addition to the citys step 1t is
understood that within a month or
two the American Telegraph and
Telephone Company will place un-
derground many of the wires in the
park extension and uptown as far as
Briggs street.
Probably the biggest improvements
under consideration are the ones
which when completed will mean the
taking down of the long line of S5-
foot poles in Walnut street from the
railroad to Court street. While it
could not be learned officially, it is
understood plans are being talked of
which will result in the placing of
these long distance telephone lines in
conduits.
Another proposed improvement
which is being considered is the plac-
ing underground of the Western
Union lines in the central district.
While nothing definite has been de-
cided about the changes, it is said
that all the telegraph and telephone
companies are planning quick action
in the near future, which may result
in the removal of about half of the
large overhead cables and tall poles
in the city.

Told by Corporal Jim Sulli-
van in an interesting interview
accorded an American writer
recently returned from Europe.
Officers of the British Royal Army
Medical Corps also explain why the
same method is so successful Mt the
Front.
Many readers who suffer from pain
full foot Affections will be interested
to learn how medical officers of the
English Army deal with and promptly
stop the various form of foot misery
inseparable from hard military serV-
ice. New recruits are often too lame
and footsore to walk after their first
long hike, and even the toughest
and hardest of the old campaigners
and the crippling rheumatic or other
tortures so common in the wet, damp
trenches. This article explains how
they put their feet in fine condition
and kept them that way. Any reader
can, of course, adopt the same meas
ure, since the foot troubles which af-
fi!ct soldiers in the trenches are usu-
ally far more serious than any which
civilians ever suffer and soldiers OPP

ical treatment are. naturally. few

HAS MONTH TO
DECIDE ON ASH
PLANT PURCHASE
City Given Extension by Re-
duction Company; May De-
termine to Burn Garbage

Council met in special session this
afternoon to receive the reply of Of
hcials of the Pennsylvania Reduc-
ton Company granting the city a
months extension to consider the
advisability and arranging for the
purchase of the plant.
The commissioners are undecided
as to which course they will take
because of a visit to Lancaster yes
terday where they inspected an
lncineration plant used in that city
Whether the incineration or reduc-
tion process will be used here was
not decided, but Commissioner Dun
kle said to-day he prefers the in
cineration process.
This, it is pointed out, will elm
mate much of the odor caused by re-
duction. Residents in the uptown
wards have frequently complained
plant, but nothing could be done to
prevent 1t, officials stated. Now an
opportunity is offered, and an in
cineration plant can easily be ready
for operation before February / the
commissioners said
Arrangements will be started at
once, Commissioner Dunkle said to-
day, to get an estimate and agree
on the price to be paid the reduction
company for the plant and ground
now being used. 1t is probable that
with the purchase of the place the
furnaces to be used in burning gar
bage will be preferred to the tanks
and reduction system, and will be
ordered and installed as soon as pos
sible.
Should the city not reach an
agreement with the officials a new
plant can be erected and equipped in
about three months, Mr.. Dunkle ex-
planned, assuring the collection and
disposal of garbage when the pres
ent contract expires.
Let Ash Removal Lay Over
The question of ash removal, the
officials said to-day. will not be
touched until the garbage disposal is
settled. In Lancaster individual
householders are responsible for the
removal and must pay private col
lectors. This is not favored by Coun-
ell and there is little likelihood, it is
said, that it will be adopted here.
At the meeting of Council this
morning formal action was taken
extending to the League of Third
Class Cities the invitation to hold
the annual convention in this city
next month. Arrangements for the
sessions have been placed in charge
of City Clerk R. Ross Seaman, who
has already received communica-
tions from a number of third class
cities giving the names of delegates.
With the exception of approving
a few contracts and bonds, awarding
a contract for cable, and passage
of an ordinance creating the position
of assistant city chemist, no other
routine business was transacted.

400 Killed and 100
Wounded in Fighting
in Petrograd Streets
Bv AssociaLed Press

Stockholm. July 31.-Street fight
ing in Petrograd last Monday and
Tuesday was of considerably greater
proportions than admitted for pub
lication, according to information
given the Associated Press by man
who just arrived from there. This
informant, whom the correspondent
has personally known several years
as an impartial and capable observer,
said that the reports submitted to
the government showed 400 killed
and about 1000 taken to hospitals.
Public opinion Petrograd is highly
inflamed against the Bolsheviki,
whose leaders so far have not yet
been arrested, and dare not show
themselves publicly. Despite the es-
pecial indignation against Nikaoli
Lenine. he is not generally regarded
as a German agent.
