KDKaTwbAL and WON era aaoeg otter eteuone ttet at TROLLEYS DENIED PERMANENT USE OF PARK ROUTE Governor Yetoes Measure Granting: Commonwealth Avenue Rights Harrisburg Railways Company officials were silent tc day on Governor Fisher's veto of the bill which would have permitted trolley cars on Commonwealth avenue. Termination of car service on this avenue will follow closely the grading of Filbert street in the extreme eastern end of Capital Park under the terms of the veto. Frank S. Musser, president of the traction company, said he had "Just learned of the Governor's action Complaining of a heavy cold, he said he was going to his home and declined to discuss the matter.

Fred C. Crane, superintendent of transportation, said that the veto did not change the attitude of the trolley company. He explained that no action on rerouting of cars baa yet been taken. The Governor was careful to point out that his veto was occasioned by the trolley company's refusal to relinquish its privileges on the bridge. He also cited a traffic hazard at Filbert street and the western ap proach to the bridge.

Presence of tracks on the bridge would maze this "even more dangerous," it is explained. The Governor described the railway attitude as unfortunate, continuing: "The Commonwealth wpuld be willing to permit the Commonwealth avenue to be permanently used for the street railway line if the railway company would agree to forego the use of the bridge, notwithstanding the fact that a street railway line through Commonwealth avenue wfil mar the appearance of Capital Park." The Public Service Commission has decided that the railways company, if the bridge is used, must pay the State $150,000 in ten annual payments. The Attorney General's office yesterday so notified the traction company in writing. There was a long conference of railways directors but officials were silent on what was accomplished. During the recent Public Service Commission hearing after which it allocated bridge costs, the trolley company emphasized that present trolley service demands use or Doin Commonwealth avenue and Memorial Bridge and that future needs as the city grows make both routes absolutely imperative.

HISTORICAL BODY ALARMED OVER SALE OF RELICS Reported negotiations for the sale of Indian exhibits by the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia to a New York museum has drawn the condemnation of the Pennsylvania Historical Commission. A special meeting of the commission called by CoL Henry W. Shoemaker, the chairman, to act on the proposal adopted a resolution, which declared the board "viewed with alarm" the transfer of material relating to Indian life in Pennsylvania to outside the state. It further "discouraged the transfer in view of the archeological survey authorized by the Legisla ture." Under a bill now before Governor Fisher, the survey would be conducted to determine the advisability of acquiring private exhibits of the red man's habitation on Pennsylvania for future preservation. The commission authorized Miss Frances Dorrance of Wllkes Barre, its secretary, to make arrangements at Deal, England, the place of William Perm's embarkation for Pennsylvania, for erecting an appropriate marker.

It was also agreed to place special tablets bearing Governor Fisher's signature at the three historical shrines acquired by the State by legislative acts, the Ephra ta Cloisters, Conrad Welser Park and Pennsbury, the home of William Penn.
