Pennsylvania Veteran Dies;
Many Years in Service

Samuel e. Russell, aged rs years,
died this morning at his home, 1919
North Sixth street. Death was due to
hardening of the arteries. He had
been in poor health for some time.
The survivors are three daughters:
Mrs. Annie Bretz, Mrs. Mary Kurch,
Miss Lorena Russell, and one sister,
Mrs. Jane Lightner, Of Summerdale.
The funeral will take place Mon
day afternoon at 2 o'clock. Serv-
ices will be conducted at the home
by the Rev. w. N. Yates, pastor of
Fourth Street Church of God. Burial
will be made in Harrisburg Ceme-
terry.
Mr.. Russell was for over a half
century employed by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad as a machinist and
later an engine inspector. He was
a lifelong resident of Harrisburg.
He joined the Hope Fire Company
when a young man, and at the time
that organization was rejuvenated
back in 1855. He served during the
Civil War and was a member of
Post 116, G. A. r., and the Penn
sylvania Railroad Relief Depart
ment. He was a member of Select

PENNSY SEEKS
BLANKET POWER
To Ask Stockholders For AM
thority to Borrow Money
as Needed

That the Pennsylvania Railroad'
management proposes to be pre-
pared to raise money when per-
mitted under the new plan of gov
ernment control, is indicated By the
announcement in the regular notice
of the annual meeting to be held on
March IL, at Philadelphia, at that
time it is said there will be sub
mitted "for consideration and action;
by the stockholders and increase OF
the indebtedness of the company to
be made when and as prescribed by
the directors"
In the past, when conditions were
normal, the company required
around 25,000,000 each year TO pay
for new equipment, construction and
betterments, which is about nalf the
sum usually required for the entire
Pennsylvania system, but this year
conditions are such that the stock
holders are to be asked for general
authority instead of being called
upon to authorize a stipulated in
crease of the Indebtedness, so that
the management may act as Direc-
tor General McAdoo shall order as
regards any increase.
Average Expenditure
oSIOEt Tie 1HIeTSIdLS SOulHlSTC6
Commission last November President
Rea stated that the average expendi-
tnre for road and equipment of the
entire Pennsylvania system for the
past II years was $4,000, 900, and
that very much more would be
needed this year if the system were
to adequately perform its functions.
He also stated that there still was
left $26,000,000 of the proceeds of
bonds sold last spring.
1t also is set forth in the annual
meeting notice that there will be
submitted for action of the stock
holders agreements for the acquisi-
tion by the company of the fran
chises corporate property, rights
and credits of the Cornwall & Leb-
anon Railroad Company, and of the
Susquehanna, Bloomsbury e. Berwick
Railroad Company, subsidiaries OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad. Such
acquisition is in furtherance oe the
policy of consolidating the various
parts of the Pennsylvania system
and simplifying the corporate cr-
ganization.
New Requisitions
The Cornwall e. Lebanon runs
from Conewago. on the main line of
the Pennsylvania, to Lebanon, and
with its branches has a total length
of 26.44 miles. It has outstanding
$500, 900 capital stock. all of which
is owned by the Pennsylvania,
The Susquehalnna,, BlQomsbpCg &

Pennsylvania, to Berwick, and with
its branches has a total length of

of $1,000, 900, all owned by the Penn

arate corporate existence of these
two companies has ceased.

COUNCIL'SDELAY
HOLDS UP THE
TAX NOTICES
New Names Being Mentioned
For City Treasurer's
Post

Delay on the part of Council in
filling the office of city treasurer is
holding up preparations for an early
issuance of $4,000 tax statements to
property owners.
Under an act passed last year by
the Legislature, the city treasurer is
required to send out notices two
months earlier, as the time for pay
ment of the assessment has been
changed. Under the new law a one
per cent abatement is allowed tax
payers making a remittance during
June as under the old law. The full
amount of the tax is payable during
May and June, and on July L one per
cent. is added and one per cent on the
first of each additional month. Blanks
to be used in filing in these state
ments to property owners must have
the name of the city treasurer print
ed on them.
1t is not believed in councilmanic
circles that any action will be taken
to fill the post until the regular ses-
sion next Tuesday. The turn OF af-
fairs caused by the statement of one
of the commissioners has created wide
discussion all over the city with the
result that Council is now reported to
he looking for capable businessman
who has no political affiliations.
Among the names more frequently
mentioned are ]. Clyde Myton, secre-
tary of the Motor Club of Harrisburg
and widely known throughout the
city and vicinity by many business
men, and Clarence E. Weber, clerk
in the city treasurer's office. Many
other names have been mentioned as
possible candidates, but it is not
likely any of the commissioners will
express a preference until the open
meeting.
