Down Before July |

City Electrician Clark e. Diehl
has received a communication from
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company stating that all poles
in Walnut street on the south side
are to be removed by July 1, as the
overhead system by that time will
have been replaced by underground
cables. At present the company has
gang of men laying conduits in
Walnut street from Reservoir Park
west, and later many poles in Wal
nut and State streets are to be re-
moved.
Mr.. Diehl also announced that he
has requested the various public
utility companies to remove the tops
of tall poles along some of the
streets, as the cross arms on many
of them are from Is to 20 feet
lower.

the ducts in the downtown district

Power Company men found seven
dead rats, and few live ones. Tt is

fed their appointments. He com
mended also the courage of the ffiers.

since early morning, naval Of
hcials were confident early
this morning that both these
transatlantic seaplanes had
reached the Azores.
At last reports they were

ships had steered for Ponta

Hardscrabble Cases to
Be Argued Monday

Argument of the Hardscrabble
case. which has been appealed to
the Supreme Court, will be heard on
Monday when the court meets in
this city. The case, which has been
appealed. is one in which the Dau-
phin county court ruled that the
city is liable for damages for all
property on the west side of Front
street when it is taken over, re-
gardless of when IL was erected
The city appealed from the decision,
contending it is not liable for pay
ment for structures built since 1871
according to an act passed at that
time by the legislature. The Su-
preme Court decision will settle the
dispute and it is likely plans will
be made late in the summer to start
razing some of the buildings.

II SECTIONS OF
COUNTY ROADS TO
BE IMPROVED
Commissioners and the State
Highway Department Pre-
pare For Work
S86, 766 FOR THE BIG TASK
No Decision Made as to Which
Work Will Be Done
First

County Commissioners were noti-
fed by the state that they should
outline in order the roadways in
Dauphin county which are to be fin
ished. for which the State will pay
part of the cost.
In the letter it was announced that
the State has available $56,766 for
road work in Dauphn county this
year on State aid highways. The
County Commissioners have an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for such i'm
provements and may increase it.
y list of the applications for state
aid to make permanent improve
ments on sections of highways lead
ing TO state roads in Dauphin coun-
ty, was submitted with the letter to
the officials. here are eleven sec
tions of roadways listed in Susque-
hanna. Swatara, Upper Paxton. Jack
son. West Hanover Derry, East Han
over and Lower Paxton townships
and in Penbrook borough.
Important Roads
1t has not been decided definitely
all of these are important secondary
roads leading to main highways. but
it is understood the County Commits
sioners have favored preference to
the one in East Hanover township
about 10000 feet in length.
The railways for which state aid
petitions have been filed follow:

which was taken here to account
for the landing at Horta rather than
proceeding to Ponta Delgada.
Ahead of Schedule
Commander Read reached Horta
several hours ahead of the scheduled
time, officials having estimated that
twenty hours would be required for
the seaplanes to reach Ponta Del
gada. Had he continued to that port
at the speed he maintained through
out the long voyage. Commander
Read would have covered the 1850
miles in a little more than II hours
Lame Duck" First TO Land
The fact that the NC-4 was the
first of the three planes to reach the
Azores drew comment from naval
officers here. This ship was the
lame duck" of the division from the
time it started from Rockaway
Beach, Long Island. Three of the
four Liberty motors which drove the
ship to the Azores were installed
after it left Rockaway Beach be-
cause of trouble with the original
motors.
Leads Way All Night
Commander Read was forced to
land at Chatham Light, Mass, on
the first leg of his fight to New
Foundland. He remained at Chat
ham for several days repairing He
again was forced to make a landing
on the way from Halifax to Tre-
passey to make repairs and at Tre-
passey another new motor was put
in the plane before it started over
seas. Despite the handicaps the NC-4
led the way to the Azores practically
all night.
Lisbon Is Chief Goal
The machine which will achieve
the distinction of being first to cross
the Atlantic ocean will be that which
arrives first at Lisbon. Portugal. the
first European landing place of the
flight and starting point of the last
leg 90 Plymouth, England.
Performance Spectacular
While the performance of the
NC-4 is viewed as the most spec
tacular aviation achievements in the
history of heavier than air craft.
Commander Read has not euuaIIed
the American Navy record either for
duration or distance in seaplane
flying. The greatness of the feat it
was said. lies in the fact that it was
entirely overseas.
Grow 90 Hours i'm Air

der H. B. Grow piloted the navy

Officials Rely on Cable
The message to the Navy Denart-
ment on the arrival of the NC-4
came by cable from Ponta Delgada
and was more than an hour in
reaching Washington. the depart
ment receiving it at 1859 a. m.

GOVERNOR CAMPBELL
 MAKES VISIT HERE

Governor Thomas E. Campbell, ac. companied by Mrs. Campbell and Daniel Campbell, father of the gov enor, arrived in Flagstaff last Satur- day evening from Jerome, having ne gotiated their way across country by auto coming up the Schneby Hill out of Sedona.
 Governor and Mrs. Campbell at tended the "stunt" night at the Nor maj and addressed the student body and made short inspection of con ditions there, meeting with President Creager and the trustees of the school.
 Sunday morning he had an inter- esting meeting with couple of ladies who had come across the country to importune him to call an extra session of the legislature in order to ratify the woman's suffrage amendment While he did not make it known what action he would take in the matter it is believed that no such action will be taken since the women of Arizona have the right to vote and the ex- pense to the state would be too great to call an extra session for that one purpose only.
 The governor and party left shortly after lunch for Winslow with the in- tention of visiting Holbrook, Cooley and other places in the northeastern part of the state, inspecting roads and other conditions.

NO TAXICABS IN ROME

The horse in Rome has not vacated his position to make room for the motor car. There are still thous- ands of horse-drawn cabs operating in Rome. while there is not single taxicab.
 Two reasons are given for the equine superiority: First, there are three thousand cab drivers in Rome who exercise a considerable influence in the municipal elections of Rome, and as consequence no motor ve- hicle concessions are granted. The politicians know that in order to re- tain these three thousand votes they must be faithful to the horse and an enemy to the "fiivver."
 Besides the supply of gasoline in Italy is not large. and to insure enough for the military needs it was found absolutely necessary to discour- age as much private motor vehicle traffic as possible.

HOUSE WARMING
 OVER AT ASH FORK

The Northern Arizona Commercial Co.,, of Ash Fork, Ariz., will give . dance and general housewarming in it's handsome new $20,000 store build- ing on Saturday evening, August 16, 1919. The best orchestra obtainable has been engaged. There will be re- treatments for all and flowers for the ladies.
 All are cordially invited to attend, and no effort will be spared to make this the most enjoyable event of the season.
 The stockholders of the company are Chas. E. Burton, prominent stock man, president; F. s. Dickerson, vice president; Winchester Dickerson, sec retary and treasurer, and are among the most progressive business men of the state.
 It is hoped that large gathering from Flagstaff, Williams and Prescott will be present to enjoy the opening.
