can recall how the little tinkling contrap-

During that period, however, the selling
of soda water on Sunday involved ingeni-

General Survey on
All Grade Crossings

AS a preliminary to adoption of n
State policy in regard to elimination
of grade crossing the Accident and
Engineering Bureau of the Pennsyl-
vania Public Service Commission
have recommended a systematic sur
vey of the 10000 crossings in the
State and it will probably be author
lied early in the coming year. 1t is
estimated that it would cost almost
5000, 100000 to eliminate all of the
grade crossings in the State.
The survey would divide the cross
ings into three classes:
Easy to improve and costing less
than $4,000, which would include
change of grades, removal of OBJ
structions to view such as trees,
brush, billboards, buildings, signs,
fences, etc.
Expensive to eliminate which
would involve engineering problems
and costing $4,000 or more.
Separation preparatory to closing
of crossings which are not needed
and which increase dangers. There
are many crossings which are close
to each other some that are little
used, others that are neglected and
which could be abandoned with lit
tie inconvenience to the public.
In connection with the survey rail-
road operation would also be con-
sidered. The survey would include
railroads by divisions with com
ments upon each crossing, the
method of protection now in use
and recommendations
One of the plans of the Commits
sion is to adopt uniform warning
sign for every crossing.

SYNDER RECORD
STANDS UNIQUE
Collections of State Revenue
Attract National Atten-
ton to Office

Attention of officials in charge of
financial operations at Washington
and other state capitals has been at
tracted to the remarkable work of
Auditor General Charles A. Snyder
in collecting over S52,00O,0OO the
fiscal year which closed yesterday.
The fact that he broke his own rec
ord. the high water mark OF the
State, by $S,000,000, which was the
whole revenue of the Commonwealth
thirty years ago, is the amazing part
of the work. The result, say Off
cials, demonstrates the success of
the collection methods which he put
into effect when he assumed the
office. The 1919 fiscal year revenue
of Pennsylvania is second only to
that of the Empire State and the
figures are close to the revenue of
the United States Government in
1851, when it went over the $50,000,-
600 mark for the first time in Ameri-
can history.
Mr.. Snyder's work is all the more
notable because when he assumed
office in 1917 he found the depart
ment running on momentum from
earlier years and some branches, of
the service not far from demoraliza-

out the work, but the Auditor Gen
erals personality was injected into
the efforts and although the total for
the fiscal year of 1917, five months of
which was within his term, as ap-
proXimately S31,700.000 or $5,000,-
600 less than the previous year, his
business system, vigor in collections
and enterprise in getting in overdue
taxes, had one of the triumphs in
State financial history because the
fiscal year of 1918 closed with re-
ceipts of over $4,000, 900, smashing
every record.
The attainment of the $52.00O,000
mark. promised by Mr.. Snyder for
the fiscal year, has taken strenuous
work and the Auditor General has
highly praised his force for unspar-
ing labor. Just what the new rec
ord means stands out when con-
trasted with receipts of former
years. The figure is almost 100 times
the revenue of a hundred years ago,
1919 having something over $780,
600, and more than nine times of
fifty years ago, 1859 having shown
$5,241, ,711.2S. In 1889 the revenue
was $S,465, ,399.22, in 1899 $15,45S,-
316.97 and 1909 went to 29,101,-
1870. In 1911 it went over the
thirty million mark, reaching $32,-

that there will be more men out

tles have been passing through this
city on the way to forests in the
South Mountain region and up the
Susquehanha valley in automobiles
and game wardens say that there is
more hunting by automobile parties
instead OF camping than they have
observed heretofore. For years
deer hunters camped in the woods,
but from what is reported here,
many now make their headquarters
at hotels in small towns near the
hunting district.
Hundreds of deer have been
bought by the State Game Commits
sion in recent years and liberated in
inc vicinity of the game preserves
Where there has been extensive
breeding. Most of these deer have
come from Michigan, but a number
Pave been bought in New England
and New York. 1t is believed that
there are an unusually large number
of deer in the State now, possibly a
greater number than in decades.
Dozens of arrests have been made
for killing of deer in advance of the
season and for shooting of does,
