an automobile, has been reduced to
$4,000, the figure at which it was
during 1917 and 1918, by Governor
William c. Sproul in his action on
the big bill. During the Brum-
baugh administration the Philadel-
phia Governor found this fund d
very convenient thing against which
to draw for payment of bills of
many kinds and when he went out
of office he had made a dent in the
share intended to cover the expenses
of the Governor and the Mansion
between January and June. This led
to the fixing of the allowance at
$4,000, which some considered
about all that a Governor would
need, the Brumbaugh expenditures
being taken as the peak of the
load, so to speak.
The Governor also cut down the
$50,360 item for clerk hire in his de-
partment to $4,000. The Brum-
baugh administration found it hard
to get along on $37.500, and had
to borrow" stenographers occasion
ally. He slashed some of the de-
partments heavily, one of the places
where he cut being the Auditor
General, who loses $4,000 for en-
ployment of extra clerks.

down the s1S,0OO,0OO school fund,

Street Changes to
Be Taken Up
Very Soon

Governor Sprouts reduction of
the item carried in the general ap-
preparation bill for improvement of
Capitol Park from 100000 to $780,
600 will not interfere with the
work. 1t is the plan of State Off
cials to start as soon as possible,
commencing with the coping and
changes along Third and Walnut
streets, in which the city will bear
a part, and superintendent Thomas
w. Templeton plans an early con-
ference with the city fathers to OBJ
tain some action.
AS a matter of fact, the State now
has S450,000 for the Capitol Park
Improvements, exclusive of the Of
flee building and the Memorial
Bridge, which are carried in special
bills, and may have more through
contributions which will be made
for specific operations by the City
of Harrisburg and the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad. This is due to the
fact that an appropriation of $780,
600 is available, having been made
in the sum of $350,000 two years
ago. About $4,000 has been spent
on the extension preparations and
the whole sum is at hand, not hav-
ing lapsed.

Taking the s1,250,000 for the new
office building and the s750,000 for
starting the Memorial Bridge,
whose approval is considered likely,
as the Governor went over them
during the closing days of the Leg
islature, there will be almost ST.
100000 for the general scheme of
Capitol improvement to make the
civic center of the Commonwealth
in accordance with the Brunner
plans. In addition, there will be
the 100000 which it is anticipated
the voters of Harrisburg will agree
to transfer from the Walnut street
bridge fund to the city's share of
the Memorial viaduct. The sum

companies will pay as their shares
