Traction Company to Drop
Many Unnecessary Stops

Effective Sunday, scores of un-
necessary stops on the lines of the
Harrisburg Railways will be elimin-
ated according to extensive adver-
tisements given to the newspapers
to-day. The new system has been
adopted by the company in accord
ance with requests made to all rail-
ways companies by the National Fuel
Administration for the adoption of
skip stop" plan in an effort to
conserve fuel. il being a well-knowu
fact that starting and stopping cars
utilizes considerable power. The plan
was also recommended by the engi-
neers of the Public Service Commits
sion and Bion j. Arnold, the Chicago
traffic expert who made a survey here
last summer. Mayor Keister has en-
dorsed the plan, believing that 1t will
greatly relieve the traffic congestion
especially in the central part of the
city.
In the business district stops at all
narrow streets have been eliminated,
such as Court, Dewberry, Black berry.
and similar streets. On Mark ct
street between Market Square and
the subway stops will be made only
at Market Square, Third street.
Fourth street and the Pennsylvania
Railroad entrance.

WALLOWER HALL
NAME OF AUDITORIUM
GContinued from First Page.l

during the last few months. One of
the most important developments of
this dinner was the decision to in
clude the assembly or banquet hall
which was eliminated in the re-
vision of the plans last spring
Some time ago President Wallow-
er addressed a letter to the stock
holders and others interested in
which he presented the great need
for some such hall IN the big hotel.
Harrisburg is a great convention
city and and it is highly necessary
to provide adequate facilities for the
almost daily conferences and con-
ventions held here. 1t was stated by
the architect that this large banquet
room could be more economically
constructed during the building of
the hotel proper than later, mas
much as there would be considerable
saving not only in material but in
labor which would be lost should the
hotel be finished on the revised
lines sand later remodeled.
This assembly room will occupy
the upper floor of the wing extend
