British Ministry Aims
to Reform Its House of
Lords, Says BOnar Law
81 Associated Press

London, Dec. 1.-THE reform of
the House of Lords will be one of
the tasks undertaken by the coali-
ton ministry, if it is returned to
power in the election taking place
IN the United Kingdom to-day, A.
Bonar Law, chancellor of the eX-
chequer, declared in speech at
Glasgow Friday.
Mr.. Law said the coalition gov
ernment believed that a second
chamber with adequate strength was
necessary in any democratic country
but it was not intended that it should
be hereditary chamber
The government, the chancellor
continued, intended to give the new
upper house the strength that could
alone come from direct access with
the people.
The chancellor reiterated his
previous statement that the govern
ment would see that the empires
naval safety was not imperilled at
the peace conference. He was not
afraid of Bolshevism in the United
Kingdom.

BUT ONE FIRM
OFFERS BID FOR
ASH CONTRACT
100000 Asked to Collect Rub
bish in City For Next
Twelve Months

Stees, Simonetti & Company, the
firm collecting ashes and refuse
in the city at present under an
agreement with the Bureau of Ash
and Garbage Inspection, was the only
bidder for the contract next year,
asking 100000 to do the work. One
other proposal was received by Com
missioner S. f. Hassler from Irwin
Gardner for $69,733, but without the
certified check which was required.
DIR. Eassler said he had not de-
cided whether he would recommend
the awarding of a contract to the
company, as he thought the estimate
rather high. This year it cost the
city $4,000 for collections of ashes
since March /.
Council may be asked Commission
er Hassler said, to decide whether
the city should take over the collec-
ton work and hire teams or award
the contract Although an opinion
has been given that the city must
contract for such work, DIR. Hassler
said a way may be found to have
municipal collections at saving of
a few thousands of dollars.
If the contract is awarded the cost
of ash collections will represent
about one mill of city tax. This will
not include the amount paid for
garbage collections. which would
bring the total cost of the work to
$4,000 for next year, or an aver
age of $1,000 a month.
Council will probably be asked to
act on Tuesday so that the cost Of
the collection work can be included
in the budget ordinance which will
be considered at nightly conferences
next week

Planned For Future

Models and detailed sketches and
plans for the great monumental
bridge to be built by the State of
Pennsylvania as a memorial to its
soldier and sailor sons in the war
with Germany as the crowning fea-
ture of the Capitol Park extension
will be in Harrisburg early in tie
coming legislative session so that the
state lawmakers may be able to See
the comprehensive scheme adopted
by the State Board of Public Grounds
and Buildings a short time ago. These
models and plans are being made un-
der direction of Arnold w. Drummer,
the New York architect, who design
ed the Cleveland Civic center and
various New York projects ana VIII
cover a program extending over a
period of years and including not
only the bridge, but the improvement
of the old Capitol Park and the en-
bellishment of the extension. The
houses have been razed with a few
exceptions used for state purposes
on the twenty-nine acres to be made
into the additional park and prepara-
tory filling will go on during the win
ter under direction of Superintendent
George A. Shreiner, of the Public
Grounds and Buildings.
Three Distinct Phases
The great project will have three
phases:
The memorial bridge, which will
be almost half mile long, reaching
from the edge of Capitol Park and
spanning the valley to the brow of
Allison Hill, where it will connect
with streets leading to parkways. 1t
will be eighty feet wide with ornate
features and two huge pylons at
the western end, one devoted to the
Army and the other to the Navy,
each containing a vaulted chamber
to contain names of Pennsylvanians
in the war.
The formal entrance TO the park,
which will replace the ant:quated
stone steps at the western entrance
at State street and be 120 feet
wide with spaces for ceremonies such
as inaugurations, being fianked by
terraces and driveways, which will
be worked out with an enlargement
of the 700-feet plaza in front of the
building and a relocation of the
walks and drives in the old park,

French Troops Line Way
The route to the presidential resi-
dence was lined with French troops
in solid array along it's entire length.
The welcome given by the crowds
as the Presi 1t drove by was voci-
ferrous and hearty. The city was
making vast fete of the Presidents
coming.
Crowds Are Enormous
The passage of the Presidential
train from Brest to Paris gave evil
dence of the interest the population
attached to the Presidents visit. At
every station along the railway
crowds of men, women and children
waited through the night for the
passing of the train, hoping to catch
glimpse of the American Execu-
tive. Through the night along the
route their cheers could be heard
as the train slid by in the darkness.
The crowds broke all precedent.
Salute of 100 Guns
The platform at the railway sta
ton was carpeted in red and palms
adorned the broad stairway. The
band of the Republican Guards play
ed the Star Spangled Banner" when
the Presidential train, decorated with
the Stars and Stripes, arrived. An ar
tillery salute of one hundred guns
announced the Presidents arrival.
