TIGHTER MONEY RATES
PUT CRIMP IN MARKET

NEW YORK. December 29.-The
stock market was generally unsettled
today, chlehy as result of tighter
money tendencies incident to the end
of the year.
Speculative shares were, to 6
points lower in the early afternoon
and many standard stocks were / to
points under last weeks final
prices.
The stringent money situation was
ascribed to the withdrawal of funds
by local banks to meet January in

but a 20 per cent rate was posted
before 2 o'clock. while the SaS1a per

SURVEY OF RIVER
IS OUTLINED BY
MAJOR W. B. GRAY
Businessmen Hear Plans For
Making Susquehanna Navi-
gable From Tidewater

Major Williams B. Gray, speaking
on the "Susquehanna Navigable" be-
fore a special committee of the Har-
risburg Rotary Club this afternoon
at the Penn-Harrs Hotel. told that
100000 additional is necessary TO
make the exhaustive and comprehen-
sive survey of the river. A commit
tee representing every county that
the Susquehanna touches was pres,
cnt.
This amount would be in addition
to the S250.0OO provided by Congress
for the survey of the river as far as
Harrisburg. The additional amount
would include the survey of the
north branch as far as New York
State, of the west branch within the
state. of the Juniata river as far as
Huntington and of the Conestoga
river in Lancaster county.
To show, the great desirability of
the canaliZation of the Susquehanna
river, Major Gray quoted figures to
show that the river taps the districts
that produce both hard au1 soft coal,
that it drains one-half of the state,
touches about one-half of the coun-
ties of the state, and reaches the
-iNAl'SN SAlNuANAl al StNlltHS Oh INe
state
Other modes of transportation are
now becoNning rather expensive and
the return TO the canal as method
of transportation has been made de-
sira BILE. Major Gray traced first the
developments of the highways. turn
pixies, the small canals and then the
railroads.
He told how the small canals had
been constructed along the banks of
the river and how the settlements
had followed: how the railroads had
been constructed. bought up the can
ais and put them out of business.
Many commodities now will no
longer stand the excessive cost of
transportation he told and so the re-
turn to canal transportation is quite
necessary for the promotion of the
interests of the state and its people.
The purpose of the survey, Major
Gray told, would be to establish the
practicability of the survey. furnish
an estimate of the probable course OF
the work, set of plans and specif-
cation for the construction work. To-
cate the dam and locks and for the
complete canalization.

URGES CITY TO
HOLD PLOTS FOR
PARK PURPOSES
Head of Planning Commits
sion Opposes Sale of Tract
on Hill to Laundry

Sale OF any small tracts of
ground in a built up section of Har-
risburg, to which the city holds title
and which could easily be converted
into attractive grass or flower plots,
does not seem to be just the best
thing to do" commented Edwin S.
Herman, chairman of the City Plan
ming Commission. in discussing coun-
ellis proposed action to dispose of a
small triangular plot at Sixteen, Elm
and Juniper street, to a laundry
company.
Some time ago the city purchased
this small plot for $3.50, with the in
tention of turning it into a grass
plot and possibly planting some
hardy flowers or shrubbery there.
This was delayed because of a press
of other work and now the city has
been offered $3.50 for the plot pro
vided Elm street will be closed as the
laundry company is anxious to build
an addition to its plant and does not
have sufficient space to do so on the
present site it owns.
while I am not Thoroughly IA
miliar with the entire situation at
this place, I have looked at it and
believe that it would be a much bet
ter plan for the city to turn the plot
into small green. Eventually as the
city grows larger. the district NAV be
built up more closely and with much
larger structures. A bit of Gods
green grass in spot of this kind
certainly adds to the beauty and at
tractiveness of the neighborhood.
Mr.. Herman continued. 'It NAV be
possible for the city officials to de-
wise plan whereby this can be done
and at the same time work no hard
ship on business enterprise. I
would suggest that before any final
action is taken the whole situation
be studied for the best possible So
luton. Closing of n small stretch of
he street apparently will make little
difference here, but the Planning
Commission has always looked about
for just such small tracts as the one
the city owns there, to be used for
grass plots"
The ordinance closing a short
stretch of Elm street and alIthoriz-
ing the sale of the tract will be list
ed for disposition at the regular
council session tomorrow morning
1t has been reported in official cir
cles that residents in the district are
petitions which oppose
the sale of the plot. and that these
will be presented to council to-mor-
row. 1t is believed that the commits
sioners may delay further action for
the nresenk

$117OOO,OOO IS ADDED TO
ASSESSMENT OF DAUPHIN
COUNTYS COAL DEPOSITS
DIOGENES LIVED A
FEW YEARS TOO
SOON

George r. Bently, 1417 North
Front street, when he received his
county assessment notice for his
residence in that street and
found the total valuation fixed at
$500, notified County Commits
,Sioner Henry NJ. Stine that he was
assessed at too low a figure, and
wanted $4,000 added because of
the garage at the rear of his
property.
Upon investigation at the Com
missioners' office it was found
that the garage had been assessed
separately at almost $4,000, and
only a slight change will be nee
essary to raise the valuation for
tax purposes. County officials
said that it is unusual for a prop
erty owner to call attention to a
low assessment and urge that it
should be raised. Notice of the
assessment of the garage property
VIII be furnished Mr.. Bentley

HOUSING SITUATION
TO BE RELIEVED BY
RAISING BIG FUND
Edward Bailey, Bank President, Tells
HON. Conditions May Be Met Through
Cooperation of Business Men
BUILDING TO BE FINANCED
AS WAS PENN-HARRIS HOTEL

Speaking before the Harrisburg
Rotary Club at luncheon in the
Penn-Harris to-day, Edward Bailey,
kell known financier and intensely
interested in the development of
Harrisburg, outlined Il plan for the
relief of the housing situation in
Harrisburg.
The plan was at once accepted as
entirely workable by the Rotarians
and j. Horace Mcfarland, chairman
of the Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce housing committee, who has
been engaged in studying the prob
lem from the federal governments
standpoint, said that Mr.. Bailey's
iedas are precisely in accord with
the most advanced program the
national housing commission has de-
vised and which it is about to urge
upon the cities of the country. "Har-
risburg is ahead of the procession,
as usual" said Mr.. Mcfarland, COM
menting upon Mr.. Baileys remarks
to the club, 'and is making a good
start toward solving its problem"
Mr.. Bailey's program looks toward
the forming of a $250,000 corpora
ton, something after the manner in
which the Penn-Harris was financed,
with which to meet the needs for
new houses in Harrisburg, not as a
purely money-maliing project, but TO
fill what amounts TO vital want of
the city. He said that with, this sum
in hand sufficient can be borrowed to
give the proposed company $500.0 900
and that sum could be so handled as
to. provide sufficient funds to meet
the needs of the city for many years
Dates Back % Years
Mr.. Bailey was introduced to the
club by j. William Bowman. a mem
ber. with whom he had previously
discussed the plan.
What I have to say dates back
twenty-five years." said Mr.. Bailey,
