CAPITOL PARK PLANS
GIVEN CONSIDERATION

CONTINUED From First Page.1
the order from the Board of Pub
lie Grounds and Buildings to go
ahead. The Commonwealth under
an act of Assembly will dedicate for
the uses of the city such foot walks
as may be necessary in the park
along Walnut and Third streets.
Much Work in Prospect
In addition to the prospective
street work along the Capitol PARK,
Commissioner Lynch is proceeding
rapidly to cover the highway work
outlined for this season. Consider
able paving is necessary in the
vicinity of the new Edison school
building at Eighteenth and Chest
nut streets, and it will also be neces-
sary to pave the block in Chestnut,
between Eighteenth and Nineteenth.
The proposed loan for street paving
of $4,000 will provide for other
important street work contemplated
for the 1920 program.
In addition to the stem in the
loan ordinance providing for the
transfer of 100000 for the pro
posed Walnut street bridge to the
Memorial viaduct at State street,
there is an important loan item of
100000 for sewers. This sum will
be utilized in general improvement
of the sewage conditions of the city
and will take care of the large sec
ton embraced in the Thirteenth
ward. 1t will also provide for the
eventual annexation of Paxtang to
the city. Another item which this
loan will cover is an important main
sewer along Asylum creek, which
will provide n new sewer distribu-
ton point at Seventeenth and CAL
der streets and afford an outlet for
the State Police Barracks and othsr
important buildings in that section.
This loan will also take care OF
the big sewer necessary to reclaim
the lowlands in the vicinity of
Italian Park at Shamokin street,
Unless and until this loan is author
ized no real relief can be provided
for the big building developments
which are contemplated in several
sections of Harrisburg, especially IN
the suburban districts.
Another of the paving projects
which is of interest is the Herr
street section, from Cameron TO
Fourteenth, which will provide an
outlet for the State Arsenal and the
State Police Barracks.
OF all the loans, however, none is
! more popular than that proposing
$4,000 in the Kiester ordinance for
bathing facilities Under q resoll-
tion adopted by City Council, Park
Commissioner Gross is directed to
employ an expert who shall deter
mine what Harrisburg should do in
respect to proper bathing accom-
modations. 1t is expected that this
! expert will be engaged and make
a study of the matter without de-
lay so the whole subject can De
!ntelligently presented to the people
before election.

berlin, Thursday, Sept. 4.-The So
cialDemocratic Society of Breslau has
adopted resolution introduced in the
National Assembly by Vice President
Loebe. demanding that all army Of
hcers Immediately take the oath to
the new republican constitution and
urging that those who refuse be dis
missed from the army.
Another resolution introduced in
the National Assembly calls upon the
government to get rid of Gustav
Noske. minister of defense, who, 1t
is said, us evidently unable to stern
the tide of military reaction" The ap-
pointment Of "comrade capable of
ending the military counter revolu-
tion, is demanded. There is also a pro-
test before the National Assembly
against the retention of the law pro-
viding for arrests during a period of
martial law. This is taken as another
indication that Herr Noskes regime
Is unpopular with the government and
the Socialists.
