THURSDAY EVENING, HAWUSBURG &£i£& TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 15, 1917. BUREAUS MEDDLE TOO MUCH WITH STATE BOROUGHS? Declare Commonwealth Is Rapidly Becoming "Bureau Government" Simplified form of government for boroughs figured largely in this morn ing's session of the Pennsylvania As sociation of Boroughs in the Masonic Temple. By reason of the great interest in the home rule movement the con vention authorised the appointment of a committee of seven to consider the matter and report next year. The committee will look into the small council and commission form of gov ernment. A storm on the floor of the conven tion broke suddenly shortly before noon when it was pointed out that a resolution, adopted yesterday would establish a bureau for the supervision of borough indebtedness. A statement that the State was rapidly devolving into a government by firearms drew forth applause. It was said that these bureaus are meddling with borough government. J. Herman lvnisely, of the. municipal statistics bureau of the State Depart ment of Labor and Industry and sec retary of the association, who drew the resolution explained that the idea merely was to ascertain whether or not all legal provisions of the consti tution aro complied with by the boroughs. By an almost unanimous vote the resolution was recommitted with in structions to submit a report which would carry only provision for uni form borough accounting. Report that the Legislature is con sidering the passage of a bill creating a StaXe Building Commission again drew forth a measure of censure for what was said to be the slow manner in which State commissions work. Support was gained for the proposed commission when it was explained that the bill called for a housing code which would protect the work ingman and his home. A committee to urge upon the Leg islature the passage of the associa tion's recommendations and to fight bills which might be inlmicable to municipalities was decided upon. The committee of three members probably will be appointed to-night. The or ganization will pay the committee's exercises while at the Capitol. Endorsement of the co-operation given the boroughs of the State by the Bureau of Municipal Statistics of the •State Department of Labor and Indus try was given. The legislature will be asked to increase the appropriation for the bureau and to consulo it when borough legislation is being consid ered. Oppose Annexation Power Another resolution condemned any legislation that might give cities power to forcibly annex adjacent boroughs. Such legislation was denounced by the resolution committee as being "unwise, unfair and unAmerican." As a means of eiflarging the associa tion the president was given author ity to appoint a membership commit tee with subdivisions in each county which are to make an effort to enroll all boroughs. McFarland Addresses Body In his address on "Boroughs in Pennsylvania and Elsewhere" to the Pennsylvania State Association of Bor oughs last night, Mr. McFarland said: "Though the census of 1910 shows that 68 per cent, of the population of Pennsylvania live in incorporated communities, the State through its Legislature has paid little attention in a constructive way to town problems. Indeed, until the enactment by the last Legislature, of the act of June 1, 19X5, establishing a division of Muni cipal Statistics and Information with in the Department of Labor and In dustry, there had been, I think, no action taken in any State in the Union toward furnishing proper assistance to communities of any size. "I have called attention to this na tionally for many years, suggesting that inasmuch as the Federal Congress spends more than twenty millions of dollars annually in promoting the in terests of agriculture, it would not be ; unfair to pay a little attention to the i other half of the people living in towns and cities, upon whom not even twenty cents a year is now spent. "The State could, and should, pro vide a framework of wisely considered and co-ordinated general laws of the simplest character, leaving to bor oughs the largest possible measure of home rule. "All the State control should be con structive, and not obstructive, legis lation has tended constantly to tell boroughs and citl<ss what could not be done, but it has not been very helpful in the direction of what could be done. "Among the items which the bor ough may properly ask the Legislature to provide for in a general and uni form way, is a plan Another place in which assistance could properly be rendered is in the way of supplying trained and able engineering help. City planning and city engineering are both important modern professions which have not been seriously applied in many Pennsylvania communities. "It may be said that capable help 0 fthls sort is not needed in boroughs, particularly in the smaller boroughs. 1 answer that there is no difference in the importance of the problems in all communities. "A proposition has been made look ing toward the employment by the State of six capable city planning and municipal engineers. If each of these were to work three hundred days each year, there would then be a total of eighteen hundred engineering days, which when applied impartially to each of the nine hundred odd boroughs which do not now have city engineers, would give a total to each borough of about two days of engineering service 1 neach year. This would be worth while: but it would be more worth while if the State supplied a greater quantity of the best possible help in this direction. It is obviously out of the question to expect many of the Pennsylvania boroughs to employ the right sort of engineering talent, and yet, as I have before Insisted, it is just as important to the people of the State as a whole to have good engi neers in Hanover, or Newport, or Mid dletown, or Irwin as It Is to have them in Johnstown, or Lancaster, or Harris burg." "The engineering aid which ought to be available to the smaller boroughs should include expert advice and help oversight in regard to the supplying of water, light, sewerage, and waste disposal," continued Mr. McFarland. "These engineers could provide for proper consideration of the street de tails, including a consideration of the paving widths, which would save mil lions of dollars a year. Trees could be properly brought into the point of view, and the open places, or squares, made attractive instead of unpleasant junk heaps as most of them are now. "I wonder whether any of the gen tlemen present has ever contraster the center square in his home town with a New England village green. The Pennsylvania square is usually an ill considered mess, which renders it un attractive, unpleasant, undignified and a misfortune." Burgeas Saul, of Norristown; W. W.

An Amsterdam dispatch to the Times quotes an Amer ican who has just arrived there from Frankfurt, where he had resided for eighteen months, as saying that the Germans have a great and surprising number of new troops. The dispatch says that every German of military age who is not engaged in the muni tion industry has been ordered Into the army with the result that the Ger man troops are now more numerous than at the beginning of the war. Says Hamlet Couldn't Last Week on Broadway "Chin, Chin" can run two years with crowded houses but "Hamlet" couldn't, last a week on Broadway," declared Dr. James J. Walsh, of New York, in his lecture on "Shakespeare, Then and Now," given under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus in Tech nical High School Auditorium. Dr. Walsh's lecture was the first of a series of educational entertainments which have been arranged by the Knights of Columbus. Judging by the packed hall and attention to the speaker the event was a big success and has encouraged the Knights to go on with their program. Hall, Pittston: Representative Nelson McVicar and D. L. Starr, of Allegheny county, also spoke. The night session developed into a discussion of the Public Service Com mission after Mr. McFarland's ad dress. The commission was criticised by Burgess J. Elmer Saul, of Norrls town, for requiring boroughs to spend large sums to present cases and also for decisions, which he held were fav orable to public service corporations and not to boroughs. Mr. Saul was answered Deputy At torney General Horace W. Davis. The borough people and the commission have been more or le3s at loggerheads for several years.

At a business meeting of tho Man dolin and Guitar Club, President Norman Todd appointed a constitution and printing committee of the follow ing members: Gustave Erdinan, Les ter Zimmerman, Lloyd Reeves, Albert Michael, George Rtcedorf, William Gardner, John Keller and Fred Boath, Professor R. C. Hertzler, a member of the faculty, was elected to honorary membership. The regular meeting of the club will be held to-morrow after noon. At a business meeting of the Tatler staff It was decided to make the Feb ruary Issue a basketball number. Contributions for the department call ed Technicalities will be received and the student contributing the best material will bo elected to the position for next year. Charles Herbert, a member of the sophomore class, was elected assistant secretary at a meeting of the Tech Camera Club. Watchman and Eck ert were elected to membership. Feb ruary 20 was selected as the date for the next meeting. At the Tech wireless meeting it was announced that a tarpaulin had been completed for covering the wireless apparatus of the club. Leßoy Straw hecker and Park Weaver were elected members of the club. President John Keller stated that tests will be made by the club with the wireless tele phone station of Dr. McKay, of Lan caster. An evening meeting will be held tn the near future when the mem bers will make experiments 011 high frequency currents. The rumor that the wireless station in the United States would have to be torn down because of the Impending trouble with Germany, is unfounded to date. Tech's wireless was dismantled some time ago, when trouble was brewing with 1 Mexico. Nothing has been heard from Washington recently, about cutting oft the wireless communications. WHARTON' Professor E. S. Meade, of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania Wharton school, has resumed lecturing in the investment course. During Professor Meade's illness the senior class lec tures were given by a substitute. The Wharton Study Club is consid ering plans for new apartments. The club will be forced to vacate their present location at 213 Walnut street, on April 1, when the Democratic Club takes possession. The Wharton Club will either rent apartments or buy an entire building and run it on the plan of the University Club. Mid-year exams are over for the year. With the last examination in advertising, the senior class started 1 on the home stretch for the commence ment goal. This class will be the first graduated from the Wliarton school. About 230 started the course at the beginning of the first year. Over one fourth of the original class have con tinued the course. Professor Irving D. Rossheim, in structor in accounting was severely burned by a chemical explosion. It is probable that he will be unable to continue the lectures and that a sub stitution will have to be made. The Program committee of the senior class consisting of Norman J. Klntz, tester C. Nesblt, Mark Mor genthal, Joseph Snyder, Kobert S. Meek, Paul Esmer, will meet Wed nesday night to further plans for a class book. Joseph Kline. president of the Wharton Club, spent the week-end in Cumberland county looking over his Cumberland county interests, political and agricultural. Frederick Lyter, a first year man. has returned from a week's visit to a school at Northampton, Mass. Kobert J. Sterrett. Assistant Dis trict Attorney of the United States, and Shlppen L.ewis, instructors in government regulation for the second year class, will be replaced by James T. Young and Joseph 11. Willets, in structors in industry. Donald Taylor, a first year man, has resigned his position at the State Cap itol to accept a position with the Mumpert Chemical Company. Members of the freshmen class gave a smoker in the rooms of the Whar ton Study Club. These smokers do much to promote good fellowship and further the interests of the school. ACADEMY Two vacancies have been left on the Spectator staff, the school and alumni news and the exchange de partments being left vacant as a result of two members of the staff leaving school. A number of boys are trying out for these positions and the com petition closes on Monday. To-morrow will be a holiday for the students as the indoor athletic contest is scheduled for the afternoon. The largest crowd that has ever at tended any of these contests is expect ed this year. The make-up examination sched ule for those who failed in the mid year's has been made out and started yesterday. All these exams will take place after school. Plans have been completed for a, public speaking contest to be held in accordance with the annual Greek- Uoman debate on March 20. The pre liminaries will bo held on' March 13 and the three best speakers of the Greeks and the three best Romans will participate in the final contest.

The preliminaries for the debate will be held on March 1, and the same question will be argued in the finals as in the preliminaries. The question under discussion will be: "Resolved, That compulsory military training should be given in secondary schools and in universities and colleges." The winners of this debate, Greeks or Romans, will add to their points to wards the cup and the best individ ual speaker will receive a gold medal. The current event speaker yester day was Louis Alvarado. Since the entries for the Indoor con test were announced, a number of other entries have been added and one moro event, the broad jump has been added. CENTRAL The Sigma Eta Society will meet this evening at the home of Miss Irene Sweeney, No. 1 South Eighteenth street. The directors of Central's music. Professor E. G. Rose, the leader of the choir, and Mr. Updeg'*ove of the orchestra, are both ill. All glee club practices and music recitations will bo eliminated this week.
