Carnival Company Must
Pay Regular License

The Sheesley Carnival Company
will pay the regular license fees for
showing in this city, under the au-
spices of the Veteran Firemens AS
sociation of Harrisburg. The licenses
for the various departments of the
carnival will probably reach $500.
e. l.. McColgin. secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce. was inter-
viewed this morning regarding the
reported statement of Howard o.
Holstein that the fire company had
been doub1e-crossed" in that the
Chamber of Commerce had agreed not
to insist upon the assessment of
stringent fees.
When the committee discussed the
matter of carnival with the Cham
ber of Commerce, absolutely no ref
erence was made to remission of Ii
cense fees, said Mr.. McColgin. The
secretary learned that an effort was
being made to have the regular
license charge revoked, through an
independent source, and not from The
committee, said Mr.. McColgin.

Taggart Unable to
Coach Team This Year;
Is Big Disappointment

Owing to the growing importance
of C. Taggart's official position with
the Bethlehem Steel Company, as as
'sistant superintendent of the open
hearth department, he has found it
absolutely impossible to continue
his work as football coach of the
Steelton High school, His inability
to do this work has caused great
regret to the High school authori-
ties. to the football squad and to the
football fans of the borough But
all concerned consider they have
been very fortunate in being able to
procure the services of George
Cockill.
Mr.. Cockill was elected by school
officials and should make O good
man, having much experience. He
was coach at Bucknell College and
Tech High at Harrisburg. Mr.. Tag
garet has been coach at Steelton
since the coach system had been
adopted at the local school and has
established a good record.
