THE MAYORS MESSAGE

Ava comprehensive message to
Council, but several stand out above
the others ns of extreme Importance
and deserving of immediate atten-
ton on the part of his fellow COM
missioners. One has to do with hous-
ing and the other with the erection
of joint city hall and courthouse.
AS to the need for such a housing
survey as the Mayor recommends,
there can be no argument. Hun
dreds of houses rented at high fig
ures in Harrisburg are unfit for
human habitation. This was clearly
proved by the Telegraph's investiga-
ton last summer. Children died as
a direct result of this criminal neg
lect on the part of landlords and
older people were made sick. There
has been no attempt whatsoever to
remedy conditions. This newspaper
has stood almost alone in its fight
for better housing conditions. 1t

begins to look as though the absent
President will find his official home
deserted when he returns from his

"watchcfully waiting" to be sum-

growing impatient OF delay and this
may account for some of the resigna-
tions.

Since President Wilson never asks
advice of his alleged counselors at
Washington when he was on this side
of the ocean, it is not probable that
he will waste much time considering
