as far as receipts go will close with
this week and it is estimated that
the receipts will be about $4,000
900. not including the SIP, 2,423,O 600
received from the sale of the State
road bond issues first installment.
The revenue thus far have gone close
to $47,000,0 600 with a number of big
settlements scheduled to be made
during the week. The total revenue
last year was approximately SAT-
100000. During October the receipts
of the Treasury were $5,O61, Az,
which Auditor General Charles A.,
Snyder hopes to exceed this month.
The Public Service Commission
will act tomorrow central and west
ern parts of the State. Applications
are being made this week for char
terS for electric companies in Mont
gomery and Dcleware counties.
State farmers institutes start next
week in Cumberland county and
speakers will meet here Monday.
State officials, who have been
endeavoring to work out some plan
for the control of sales of stocks
and bonds of oil and other compa-
nies located in other states and
which have been having a great
vogue in Pennsylvania because OF
recent developments, are of the
opinion that the act of 1907 covers
regulation. Under this act certain
registrations are required with the
State Commissioner of Banking and
inquirers have been sent copies OF
the act by the State and other de-
partments which have been asked
as to what Pennsylvania statutes
provide in such matters. Drafting
of new blue Sky law to meet con-
ditions coming after the war is being
considered at the Capitol.
State Highway contractors are
running a race with King Winter in
a score of counties of the State. AS
far as possible, the Highway De-
partment has urged contractors to
keep their work going until snow be-
gins to fly or hard freezing weather
comes. and in the southern counties
things have been favorable for work
rather more than hoped. The State
has over 200 contracts in force for
road improvements and if men could
be obtained by contractors the year
would be the most remarkable in
State road building history.
PcnnsyIvania's new a t on a
Guard is not going to be short on
rifles or other equipment. Steps are
being taken now to have large num-
bers of army weapons and accom-
panying equipment sent to this state
as rapidly as units are accepted by
Federal inspectors. Pennsylvania
has already over $500 such rifles in
the hands of it's Reserve Militia and
arrangements for quick delivery of
thousands more have been per-
fected.
The tragic illness of DR.. Thomas
e. Finegan occurring at the out
set of the State Educational
Congress which he had intended
20 be the start of an extern
sive movement for the improve
ment of the schools of Pennsylvania,
will retard working out of ideas de-
veloped at the conference. 1t was
the hope of DIR. Finegan to have
prepared for submission to Governor
William c. Sproul when he returns
to Harrisburg from his vacation at
Hot Springs a digest of the thought
of the educators of the State in re-
gard to changes, notably in ruras
education in which he had special
lied in New York state and which
he had been studying since coming
to Pennsylvania. DR.. Finegan for
weeks has been preparing definite
plan for practical Americanization
in this State, having made studies of
the diverse elements in the industrial
which he had already discussed with
the Governor and designed to be one
of the first steps to be taken next
year. 1t was the work for Ameri-
canization in New York state that
attracted National attention to DR..
Finegan, he having originated the
system of zone enumeration and
building up of plan adapted TO
each district. The conclusions of
the congress are now being collected
by w. d. Lewis, the county super
intendent in charge of the meetings.
DIR. G. B. ConRelIey, Commissioners
of Labor and Industry, is to speak
in Philadelphia next week on tuber-
culosis in it's relation to industry.

factory inspector for part of Phila-
delphia, will go on duty on Decem-
