Harrisburgers wedged in front of

READY TO GO
AHEAD WITH
STREET PROGRAM
Highway Bureau Has Plans
For Widening Park
Boundaries

The city is ready to go ahead
with its work on the Improvement
Of Third and Walnut streets as
soon as the State makes it's contem-
plated changes, officials of the City
Highway Department said, to-day.
I'VE have been preparing TO do
this work for weeks and are now
waiting on the State to complete its
plans" it was said by one official.
The appropriations are ready and
are available for use whenever it is
desirable to start the work.
The principal Improvement by the
city on these streets will be their
widening. 1t is not planned, however,
to resurface the old section of the
street.
The pavements adjoining the park
will be removed on Walnut street be-
tween Third and Fourth and on
Third street between North and
Walnut by the State and placed in
Capitol Park itself, and the State
and Walnut streets entrances will be
arranged. The extra space provided
be used to add to the width of the
highway.
Market street between Front and
Second streets is now being resur-
faced. The asphalt on great por-
tion of it has already been removed
and in some sections has been al
ready replaced. Thirty-five men are
employed on this work.
Corners OF the sidewalks are being
removed on the eastside of Front
street on Market and on the westside

TORNADO PICKS
PEOPLE IN BED
AS ITS VICTIMS
100 Dead Reported in Night
Storm in Southwest; Many
Are Fatally Injured

Dallas, Texas, April 10.-One hun
dred known dead had been listed as
victims of the tornado which yester-
day struck Northern Texas, Southern
Oklahoma and parts of Arkansas,
when order began to form to-day
from the chaos caused by the storm
The injured some of them so badly
hurt that they cannot recover, are
expected to number several hundred.
The property damage, while it will
run into many thousands of dollars.
will be smaller than expected, as the
path of the storm avoided all prin-
cipal cities, striking only farm houses
and smaller villages.
Ncighbors Care for Homeless
Last night the homeless were cared
for by their neighbors. The storm
in its erratic course did not devastate
any entire regions, often leaving sew
eral houses untouched and then din
ping in and demolishing the next
few houses. The temperature drop-
ped to freezing along the northern
line of counties after the storm,
Twelve Counties Damaged
The counties most seriously dam
aged were Grayson, Fannin, Hunt.
Wood, Van Zandt, Wichita, Collin,
Camp and Titus in Texas. and Bryan,
Cotton and Pontotoc. in Oklahoma.
The oil fields of Wichita county and
of southern Oklahoma suffered hum
dreds of thousands of dollars dam
age in wrecked derricks and machin-
cry.
The hour at which the storm struck
probably caused the high death rate.
Nearly all of the houses destroyed
contained sleeping people. In most
cases the first the occupants heard
of the storm was when the walls
crashed down upon their beds.

Members of the Harrisburg Cham
Der of Commerce housing commit
tee, who under the leadership of
Chairman j. Horace Mcfarland Wis
tied large government housing pro-
iects in the vicinity of Philadelphia
yesterday, upon their return home
last night said that their trip had
been most interesting, that it had
been taken largely for educational
purposes and that the members had
gathered many ideas which would

which the chamber has under con-
sideration.
The object of the trip Mr.. Nc
Fariand said, was not to adopt
bodily any of the government plans
as developed in the shipbuildinS
districts, but 10 make the members
familiar with the best ideas in hous-
ing that have been developed
through the demand for better
houses through the largely increased
number of men thrown into the
shipbuilding district.
In this party beside Mr.. McFar-
land were Edward Bailey. who
made an address before the Rotary
Club recently on housing that at
tracted widespread attention; j. L.

27S New Dwellings,
The first stop was made at Buck

in course of erection, some of them
being finished and occupied. These
houses are single, four-room six
room and eight-room dwellings,
apartments, workmen's hotel and
modification OF the old row types of
residences. Here the committee dis
covered that it is quite possible to
erect houses in rows of four, six or
eight without any of the dreary
monotony which characterizes so
many of the city rows. by careful
treatment these houses were built
so each family has II large degree
of privacy and ample light and air.
There are lawns all around each of
them, the construction is of brick,
stucco, and here and there a frame
building to add variety. All the
dwellings have modern heating
lighting, laundry and bathing facili-
ties and are attractively papered
