OFFICIAL CIRCLES
ARE ANTICIPATING
ITTNER'S ELECTION
Expect st. Louis Architect Will
Be Named to Design
Schools

The election of William B. Ittner
of st. Louis, as architect to design
Harrisburg's new high schools was
anticipated in city official circles when
the school board met late this after
noon.
For two months the selection of an
architect has been under considera-
ton when the board refused to ap-
prove the report of a special commit
tee recommending Mr.. Ittner. The
committee included David e. Tracy
and William Jennings, of the citizens
advisory committee; f. e. Downes,
city school superintendent; A. Carson
Stamm and Arthur d. Bacon, school
directors.
The board returned the report with
instruction that the committee sug-
gest u Harrisburg architect together
with Mr.. Ittner. This has not been
DONE, it is understood.
Since the action of the board re-
fusinS to elect Mr.. Ittner, DR.. c. Il.
l.. Keene, one of the directors who
voted against him, submitted six ques-
tions to the special committee for con-
Sideration, declaring if they were ans
wered satisfactorily, he would change
his vote. Satisfactory answers are to
be presented, 1T is expected.
Several members of the school
board with the citizens committee
yesterday visited in Washington in
specting schools which were built
there over plans drawn by Mr.. Ittner.

Retail Prices for Coal

Z UEL ADMINISTRATORS GARFIELD has
1 announced a system of profits for re-
talers Of coal. and has invited public con-
fdence in that system The plan proposed
may be very clear to him and 1t may be
readily grasped by the dealer acquainted with
trade affairs, but has not much relevancy for
us dear consumers.
In brief. the plan Is designed to allow the
retailer to have all the margin between the
cost Of his coal and his sales in 1915 plus
80 per cent Of that margin. The "plus" is
| an increase meant to reimburse him for the
higher cost of handling fuel, meaning, of
course. its delivery to our bins. The retailer
who was not in business in 1915. and who.
therefore. does not know what the margin
OF that year was is permitted to sell at the
market price until an adjustment can be
reached with the government. If DR.. Gar
field had told us and our coal dealer. at the
Same time, that the latter would be allowed
to mako SO cents ton profit or rs cents or
some such figure. we could have calculated
the cost of our fuel ourselves. But to ex-
press this profit in terms Of margins" based
upon tho coal cost to the dealers two years
ago, all the while allowing the dealer to de-
termine what those costs were, only confuses
us. We have no more idea now than we
had week ago whether coal is being sold at
fair prices We quite understand that DR..
Garfield might have been unable to fix a
horizontal retail profit that would be equitable
In every coal distribution center of the coun-
try. To fix fiat figure might have allowed
one retailer too much profit and another not
enough But to merely inform us that we
are to pay all We paid for coal in 1916 with
30 per cent Of the dealers margin added,
does not encourage the public confidence
which the fuel administration has sought to
engage. Incidentally, the fact may be noted
that the mine prices have been increased In
about score Of outlying fields. This has
been brought about within little more than
month OF the Presidents order establish
Ing the original prices. 1t has no doubt
been effected through the vigorous COM
plants of producers that they were unable
to mine coal at the original figure, and. If
true, 1t is only matter of justice to give
them more money for their COAL
Meantime. the miners In about half of the
remaining coal districts are clamoring for
higher wages. They have been In pro-
tracted conferences with the operators for
whom they work. And they have deadlocked.
Having reached this stage of negotiation
they have marched to the office of the fuel
administrator with the demand that the price
OF coal at the mine be increased, which may
confidently be expected. and we may as we'll
prepare ourselves to pay 1t.
