No Letup in Number of Sales
= Reported to City AS
SCISSORS Office

Real estate sales in Harrisburg dur
Ing 1919 have broken all records in
the number and value of properties
which have been transferred. In 1918
u record year was reported but the
anticipations of man men connected
with the real estate business or inter-
ested in 1t nave been exceeded this
year.
Monthly reports by City Assessor

number of sales and the valuation of
property for taxation purposes. Is
just double the record made In 1918.
In every district of the city many
houses. buildings and hundreds of
tracts of ground have been disposed
of by the owners. and according to
men who have been following these
sales the prices are the best that

HOUSING BUREAU
PLACES FAMILIES
Situation Reported Improved,
but Need For Houses
Is Urgent

The Harrisburg Chamber OF Com
merce. through Its housing secretary.
Mrs. Bessie 8. Boone, is getting some
statistics on the needs of this city
in apartments and houses. Mrs.
Boone has been conducting the bu-
reau for some months and endeavor-
ing to assist incoming residents in
their efforts to find dwelling places.
She has at present waiting list of
more than three hundred people.
Paul Johnson is head of the bu-
reau which is laying the facts of
the situation here in Harrisburg be-
fore the builders and real estate
dealers in an attempt to alleviate
conditions. A careful study is being
made by the committee appointed
through the housing bureau, and
particular attention is being paid to
Individual cases. in order that a
more intelligent solution to the many
problems in Harrisburg may be
solved.
Mrs. Boone said this morning that
in her opinion the situation was rath-
,er better this week, as she had plac-
ed five houses and seven apartments
to eager househunters. There are
some weeks when practically no
changes are made. Mrs. Boone re-
CARDS the past week as an improve
ment and bases her opinion on the
fact that several new houses have
been but recently completed and are
being occupied by their new own
ers, leaving older houses to be rent
ed.
Much more building must be done
however, according to Mrs. Boone,
If Harrisburg is to grow. So many
new offices are being located here,
that the city is unable to take care
of the workers. In the past few
days u family has moved to Mechan-
fcsburg because they were able to
, secure there a more comfortable
! apartment than Mrs. Boone was able
| to get for them. She had previous
ly placed them here in town.
This condition of forcing people
to go to surrounding towns in order
to obtain accommodations, is un-
| heard of. said another member of
I the committee this morning. There

, Der of Commerce committee is going
ahead with it's work.

Railroad Representatives
Gather For Conference
on Cut in Schedules

Philadelphia, Dec. 6.-The follow
ing announcement is made by l.. W.
Baldwin, regional director of the
Allegheny region:
I'm line with the effort to con-
serve bituminous coal in every way
possible, consideration is to-day be-
ing given by L. w. Baldwin. regional
director to the saving that can be
effected by the railroads in the Allie
gheny region through the curtail-
ment of regular passenger train SER
vice. Representatives of the rail-
roads in the region. east and west of
Pittsburgh, have been assem- bled in
Philadelphia where they are pre-
pairing special schedules which will
be put into effect next Wednesday,
December 10. This is the date set
by the railroad administration for
similar curtailments throughout the
country. Just as soon as it has been
decided which trains can be most
readily discontinued or consolidated,
an announcement to tha public will
be made by the railroads. So far
it has been definitely decided that
the Broadway Limited, the twenty
four-hour train between New York
and Chicago Oh the Pennsylvania
railroad and the Twentieth Century
Limited, on the New York Central
railroad, in the eastern region, will
not be operated after December Q.
Accommodates between New York
and Chicago, and the principal inter-
mediate cities can be had on other
trains between these points and their
withdrawal can be accomplished
without a great amount of incon-
venience.- This action will not only
conserve coal but will. facilitate the
handling of the large quantities of
coal that are now moving from the
east to the west. -Na =
Announcement has been made of
the withdrawal of all Sunday excur-
sion trains beginning next Sunday.
In making any reductions or con-
solidations in regular passenger train
schedules, however. it will be the
policy to give the maximum service
with minimum consumption of
coal.
During the present shortage, the
judicious use of coal is more i'm
portant than providing luxuries in
travel and while the business needs
of the country require good and
convenient train service, never the
less, until more ample supply of BIZ
luminous coal is available. passenger
service will be reduced to absolute
necessities. Through train service
as well as suburban service will be
analyzed with the greatest of care.
and elimination of some trains and
the consultations of others will be
made. In fact, advantage is being
taken of every possible means of
saving coal on the railroads"
