CITY PLANS TO
TURN ITALIAN
PARK INTO USE
Mckee Graham Estate to Deed
twenty-five Acre Tract
TO Municipality
TO MAKE BEAUTY SPOT
Planning Commission and
Manning Approve the
Measure

Italian Park, twenty-five or more
acres of land in the Fourteenth ward
lying just north OF Division street
and on line with Third street If it
were extended. will be turned over to
the city in the near future for park
ing purposes, L. c. Herman. chair
man OF the City Planning Commits
sion, announced to-day, following n
conference with the real estate eX-
pert representing the trustees of the
McKee-Graham estate, owners of
the land, in this city yesterday.
The purpose of tho city in procur-
ing the tract is TO avoid Il big ill in
the extension of Third street and
to utilize to the best advantage the
acreage which is now largely swamp
land fed by large never-failing
springs, and flankcd on the east by
high bluff along 4 large part OF
the frontage. 1t is the plan of the
City Planning Commission and the
park authorities to empound the
water from the springs in the park.
creating a lake, which would afford
beautiful setting for a street on
either side, back of which the land
which is vacant could he utilized for
building purposes. A drawing of the
proposed Improvement published on
another page of the Telegraph this
evening gives some idea of the plan.
Effort of Years
Warren j. Manning. in his original
survey of a park system for Harris
burg. made back in 1901. included
italian Park as a part of the devcl-
opment, but nothing was done to
acquire the property until the City
Planning Commission took up the
subject several years ago. The COM

TAX RATE FOR
1919 IS WORRYING
CITY COUNCIL
Much Money Needed For I'M
provements and Salary
Increases
NOW FINED AT TEN MILLS
Commissioners 10 Hold First
Budget Meeting in
Short Time
VOW FINED AT TEN MILLS

The first meeting of City Council
as a budget committee to prepare for
the appropriation ordinance for 1919
will probably be called within the
next three weeks, it was said in of
fetal circles to-day. That the task
of preparing for the expenditures of
next year will be much more diff
ticult than it was last December. is
anticipated by many who are in close
touch with the city's financial con-
dition.
This year the budget ordinance
called for an expenditure of about
1875, 200, and only few months
ago an additional appropriation of
$4,000 was made, making the total
above 100000. These figures repre-
sented little in expenditures for new
mprovements. Much repair work
had to be done and the serious con-
dition existing in the water depart
ment had to be met, but little new
work was undertaken by any of the
departments.
Interest In New Rate
Whether any of the commission
ers have any definite plans for big
improvements which may be started
next year is doubted by a number
of officials as no announcement has
been made of them.
What the city tax rate for next
year will be is causing much COM
ment not only in official circles, but
among residents all over the city.
With an increase in valuation of tax
able property which will be at least
$4,000, 900, the city's revenues from
direct taxation at the present rate of
ten mills, will be increased $50, 900.
improvements Delayed
That there are many improve
ments to be made in the city, but
which had been delayed because of
the war, is admitted. Which of these
will be provided for first, if any, has

on the staunch resistance OF tho al

1t is admitted that some days
must pass before the results OF
fighting on such a great scale can

firmly expressed in several quar-
ters that II will end in failure for the
enemy.
