C. Henderson, a member of the police committee, is the father of this scheme. Mr. Henderson believes that the borough would have a more efficient police department If It had a light auto to take officers out on emergency calls.

Will DedicateTew Playground Gateway During Celebration Enroute over the city's Bark and playground system September 23, the great automobile train bearing the Chamber of Commerce and other prominent men and women who have figured In the history in Harrisburg's nrteen odd years or public improvements, will make a brief stop at the Twelfth street playgrounds, to attend the exercises incident to the dedication of the Dr. William Harrison Jones memorial entrance. The train Is due to reach there Just in time to take in part of a celebra tion, which while having no direct Deartng on the 3 day Observance In which a whole city will participate, will not be without its significance In the story of municipal lmprovementa Dr. Jones on First Committee Dr.

Jones was a member of the first general committee appointed "way oack lsoi by the Board of Trade to arrange for the mass meeting of citizens which launched the city's public Improvement campaign. Primarily the purpose of the big inspection trip via automobile train Is to show the Chamber of Commerce and all the others who have had In anyway, a part in the story of Harrisburg's public Improvement program, what has been accomplished la fifteen odd years. Incidentally the big group of citizens who had subscribed to the fund to provide a memorial to Dr. Jones, expected to formally dedicate the entrance and fountain to the Twelfth street playgrounds sometime next month after it was finally decided when Twelfth street would be visited by the train. James M.

Auter and Herman Hahn were appointed as a special committee to arrange with Commissioner M. Harvey Taylor, park superintendent, to map out the dedicatory program in such a way that the exercises could be held about the time the inspection train would arrive. The Memorial The memorial to Dr. Jones will add materially to the beauty of the playgrounds. Originally It had been decided to install just a fountain but estimates were obtained by the park commissioner and when he discovered that the formal entrance with benches, etc.

could be placed within the sum that had been subscribed, he suggested that the tribute to the noted colored physician take this form Instead of a fountain only. And the committee readily agreed to the plan. Work on the formal entranoe and the erection of the fountain will be started in the near future so that the new gateway to the playgrounds can be finished In ample time. In the meantime the arrangements for the program will be completed.
