ura Ross A. Hickok, fuel administra-

completed arrangements for cutting
down the number of street lights
which are used in the city. A tour
of the city was made last night,
after which it was decided that in
each of the standard cluster lights,
two of the five bulbs will not be
used. No arc lights or single stand
ard globes will be discontinued.
There are eighty-nine cluster stand

three of these two of the five lights
in each cluster will be turned off.
there are also ten cluster lights on
the Mulberry street bridge. five of
which will have only three lights
burning and the other five with all
the lights in use. According to Mr..

will result in a big saving as the
city lights are burning all night.

SUGAR SURVEY IN
CITY SHOWS BIG
SUPPLY ON HAND
Distress of Other Counties Re-
sponsible For Drastic
Ruling Here
A BIG SURPLUS IS HELD
Wholesalers Have More Than
Enough on Hand to Supply
the August Demands
A BIG SURPLUS IS HELD

The fact that the Dauphin coun-
~ food administration has been in
structed to issue no August sugar
purchase certificates TO commercial
users of sugar as yet, does not mean
that the sugar situation in the coun-
ty is critical. Donald Mccormick.
county food administrator, said this
morning.
The order that no sugar purchase
certificates for August are to be is
sued at the present time is a state
wide regulation, and is more for the
relief of counties less favorably situ-
ated as regards their sugar supply
than Dauphin county, II was SAID.
1t is also said by the local food ad-
rinistration that orders may be re-
ceived later to issue sugar purchase
certificates TO grocers and other COM
mcrcial users of sugar who signed
their sugar statements according TO
regulations.
The sugar supply on hand in Dau-
phin county, in the hands of the
three large wholesale sugar dispens-
ers. is more than $4,000 pounds, a
survey made by the Dauphin county
lbOu dullllIllSlI SHOWeu lO-Ifg .
The needs of the retail grocers for
August are not more than 100000
pounds, leaving a surplus of 250.000
pounds, some of which the whole
salers ship to retail dealers outside
the county The fact remains, how
ever, that even though retailers car
not increase their present supplies
owing to being without sugar pur-
chase certificates for August, the
amount on hand is such as to assure
the county of ample sweetening Tor
its needs.
The food administration poiated
out that in addition to the amount
on hand held by the wholesalers, the
retailers still have a considerable
stock in their possession to supply
the immediate needs of their con-
sumers. The wholesalers will in.
crease their supply within the I'M.
mediate future by additional ship.
