Cost of Proposed New
Hummelstown Bridge May
Be Prohibitive, Bids Show

The County Commissioners were
literally stunned this morning when
they opened bids for a four-arch con-
crete bridge to be built over the
Swatara creek, at Hummelstown, to
replace the present wood structure.
Two bids were presented and opened
and the lowest of these fixed the cost
at $126,400 or more than double
what the commissioners had expect
to pay. That bid was lodged by
George Merdinger, of South Bethle-
hem.
S. w. Shoemaker. & Son, of this
city bid $174,500. The contractors
specified that they would throw off
81, 900 If the provision for paving the
bridge with brick were eliminated
from the specifications. The county
hasn't yet obtained assurance from
the highways council, federal body,
that the government approves the
building of the bridge at this time.
but the commissioners said that now
they are not much interested with
that question. The bids are out of the
question, too, they said.
However, they decided to hold the
matter under advisement until Mon
day. 1t is expected that then they
will formally reject the bids and will
take up the question of repairing the
present structures.

cut off, il became impossible for SUI
ficient current to be supplied to all
manufacturing establishments.
Conditions such as are existing to-
day are expected to continue until
tomorrow noon. The Saturday after

Harrisburg orders next week.

Officials of the Harrisburg Light
and Power Company have worked out
a schedule for current to be supplied
to the city for manufacturing pur-
poses tomorrow. The city has been
divided into three districts for that
purpose. The arrangement is much
the same as that followed to-day.
The schedule for tomorrow provides
for power to be furnished to all
plants on Allison Hill, east of Twelfth
street, from a. m. to II a. M. to
plants of the Cameron street district,
between Twelfth street and the Penn

INDUSTRIES In SHARON
AID HOUSING SURVEY
[Continucd from First Page

tries in the Shenango Valley district.
Mr.. Davenport called the attention
of the industrial managers to the
need of houses, to the fact that Con-
gress had set aside $50.00O,000 for
housing workers in war industries
and expressed the belief that if full
information concerning the necessity
or more houses in Sharon was DEM
onstrated, the government would eX-
pend a portion of this sum in per-
manent housing developments here.
Like Harrisburg
At that time the conditions in
Sharon were very similar to those
that have been reported from Har-
risburg as a result of the preliminary
survey there. Over-crowding exist
ed in many districts to such a degree
that 1t constituted menace to the
health of the community. More
workers could not be brought into
the valley until more houses are
built. The Shenango Valley, like
harrisburg, and many other war in
dustrlal centers the country over,
was getting q bad reputation for its
over-crowded conditions. The con-
ditions under which ordinary labor
and much semiskilled and skilled
classes of labor lived were such as to
foster discomfort, increase the la
Dor turnover and decrease efficiency.
to say nothing of the moral obliga-
tion of the community to provide de-
cent homes for it's people. One of
the signal proofs of the over-crowd-
ing that existed was that nearly 5S
per cent. of the workers were board
ig and that only Is per cent. own
their own homes. which may be high

for Harrisburg, but judging from
reports reaching here on conditions
there, not very much so. 1t was
found also that about one out or
seven wanted to buysa home IL given
the opportunity under favorable
long-term conditions.
All Managers Interested
The letter setting forth these con-
ditions brought ready response from
the manufacturers, every one OF
whom replied with requests to have
the surveying engineer meet them
for an interview, and in the end
nearly every one became an ardent
supporter of the housing movement.
For an example of good housing
Sharon turned to Goodyear Heights,
near Akron. Ohio Goodyear Heights
comprises about 400 acres near the
Goodyear Company's factories APP
proximately 100 acres have been de-
veloped. The development that has
been done has been in relation to
what will follow when the entire
400 acres. all of which has been laid
out. shall be developed. This tract
OF land was wholly undeveloped, but
there have been installed the best
modern types of sewers, storm
drains, water and gas mains, all con-
nected with the systems of Akron,
OF which the Heights is a part. Elec-
tricity and telephone service as we'll
as other forms of public service have
been installed, together with con-
crete sidewalks, cutters and curbing.
The main thoroughfare is paved with
bricks, while the minor thorough
fares are of gravel, the surface OF
which is treated with glutrin binder
TO prevent dust. The average lots
are SO feet wide and 100 to 125 feet
deep, providing proper setting for
and gardens. Space is allowed for
parks, Fairgrounds, public square,
schools and public buildings.
The dwellings have tireproof ex-
terror and are in architectural har-
mony, albeit each house has an in
dlViduality, as there is a wide range
IN the architectural design, construc-
tlon and material. The whole plot
is landscaped and the houses sell for
$1,SOO to $4,000 and are sold on easy
ployment, long-term plans worked
out to make it easy for the pur-
chaser or rented on reasonable
terms.
This plan was offered by the engi
lier leer IN charge as possibility for
sharon and {, company was actually
formed to begin a similar work here,
put hnally the government, seeing
the necessity, stepped in and offered
help. The plan was for the govern
ment to provide so per cent. of the
money and the Sharon company the
remaining 20 per cent. After a time
however, tkis was abandoned and
the government agreed to do all the
work, setting aside S1,000,000 for
the purpose.
How this is being used and -he
plans of the government will con-
| stitute the third and closing article
of the series.
