PAGE TWENTY-FIVE THE EVENING NEWS, HARRISBURG, FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1922 Here Are Want Ads CI i If AND LIGHT CO. FAIL TO ACT the contract. Instead the inquiry would be as to the reasonableness of the rates charged. If, after hearing, the Public Service Commission reckoned upon rates that would be either lower or higher than the city is paying, hen, it is said, the public service laws would compel the commission to order the adoption of these new rates, notwithstanding the contract between the municipality, and the light company.

GILBERT IN REPORT TELLS OF WOMEN'S AID A summary 'of the work of the past year was given yesterday afternoon In the report read by Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert, corresponding secretary, at the thirty-fourth annual meeting of the Women's Aid Society of the Harrlsburg Hospital. The work and policy of the society has been somewhat changed owing to the fact that the hospital is a member of the Welfaro Federation, and there is no longer a necessity to solicit funds. The Thanksgiving Day donation has been abandoned, but the Rummage Sale and annual dues are to be continued.

The efforts of the society are now devoted to the linen supply, to the house keeping and the renovation and refurnishing of the hospital, the Nurses' Home and to the nurses in the Training School. Mrs. Gilbert's report gave In detail the purchases made during the 'year with the proceeds of last year's Rummage Sale, which amounted to $3791.00. Kitchen supplies, renovation of mattresses and pillows, purchase of china and glass, and of From rage One were to ask for reductions, and he added: "Council didn't feel it would be warranted In asking for modified rates at this time." Time Has Passed The merger ordinance passed by City Councils and approved by Mayor Royal on May 29, 1912, stipulated certain maximum rates for the first ten years and rate adjustment periods at five-year intervals thereafter. Present rates were to stand unless the city or the light company gave notice, at least ninety days before the expiration of the ten-year period, of an intention to demand rate changes.

The ordinance prescribes how such rate appeals should be considered 'by a board of arbitartors, one to be appointed by the city, one by the light company and the third to be selected by the other two. The city's street lighting contract, under which the light company's charge is -fifty cents per light below the maximum rate fixed by the merger ordinance, will expire on June 1 and the city and the light company both have waived their right to demand rate changes. Say Contract Holds Good Some city folks raised the question today whether the lighting contract has been annulled automatically by decisions of the Publio Service Commission or by public service laws. It was said authoritatively today by persons well informed as to the powers and duties of the public service body that the city's contract with the lgiht company has not been annulled and that lt will hold good and the rates remain In effect so long as the rates are not found inequitable. It was pointed out that the Public Service Commission would not inquire Into the contract unless the matter were brought to its attention formally and then the service body would not probe the terms of WANTED Responsible dealers and distributors to handle the stock of successful, well-managed and financed oil company; actively traded in on New York Curb; paying 1 monthly dividends; earnings largely in excess dividend requirements.

The Patriot-News Harrisburg's Want-Ad Directory 1 Read for Profit Use for Results 1 Sees No Danger of Big Bridge Disintegrating The Mulberry street viaduct is not in danger of disintegration and collapse, due to gaseous smoke from railroad "engines, according to a statement made informally today by James H. Fuertes, the New York con sulting engineer who designed the bridge and who was here this week looking after Water Department extension work which he is supervising. The engineer went over the bridge yesterday and examined a oaa spot, whprp tho Rifiewnik had been closed off near Fourth street. He said it is "ot a serious matter" but he refrained from discussing it in detail because he Intends to send a written report to City Council within the next lew days, he said. The -concrete has broken out beneath the sidewalk and Fuertes will recommend a method for making the i-onnira whir-li.

he Raid, will not be difficult. Where the break occurred, he said, the cement work was not honeycombed. It may have been due to "a number of contributing causes," he suggested. Fuertes Meets Hassler on Water Plant Improvements Before returning to New York this afternoon, James H.
