Eimmui 25uui $580 IN PRIZES In This Territory LET CONTRACT FOR FIVE STORY THE report of the State salary survey commission, with bills recommending changes in salaries of State and county officers, was presented to the Legislature last night. The various equalizations of salaries, made public several weeks ago, are chiefly increases and the report was accepted and filed. The bill increases the salary of the Governor from $18,000 to $20,000 a year and provides for more money for judges. It is not likely that much will be done about the matter this year, as the Legislature in recent years has provided for increases generally. The commission found that the local sub-divisions should fix the salaries and rates of compensation of their employes and certain officers.

"The State Legislature has so many functions to perform of the utmost importance to the State at large," the report reads, "that it should not be called upon to determine questions of purely local concern such as the salaries and wages of local employes paid out of the local treasuries." A peneral county salary board bill FOUR MILES OF I STREETS PAVED IN LAST YEAR City Engineer Cowden's annual report, filed today with City Council, shows that Harrisburg paved four and a third miles of streets in 1928, and Jhat the city now has 112.62 miles of improved highways, exclusive of 9.5 miles that are macadamized. Taking these two figures together the 122 miles represent almost 67 per or approximately two-thirds of the 182.8 miles of paved and unpaved highways in the city. Of the sixty miles of unpaved streets, 13.64 miles are graded and ready for paving and 47.05 remain to be graded and paved. The sewer network increased 4.5 miles last year so that on January 1 Harrisburg had an aggregate of 121.78 miles or approximately a mile of sewers for each mile of paved streets. The water system is almost as large, the total on January 1 being 104.81 miles after 2.22 miles were laid last year.

One mile and three-quarters of streets were graded last year, while the engineers last year prepared 13C plans for sewer, paving and grading work. The real estate registrar of the department recorded 2223 real estate exchanges in 1928 and that made an aggregate of 42,112 registered since the registration bureau was created several years ago. Incidentally, a deed for a city property cannot legally be recorded at the Courthouse until after it has been registered by the engineer's office and so certified to the county's recorder. As a part of the 1928 6treefc paving program, the department assessed proportionate costs on 1287 abutting owners, and so notified those owners. OLIVET BUILDING PLANS APPROVED At last evening's meeting of the people of Olivet Presbyterian Church, Derry and Kittatinny streets, formal approval was voted on the detail plans and specifications recommended by the building committee, of which Charles E.

I Territory Assigned to THE EVENING NEWS in the Oratorical Contest was presented last night ana tne legislature was asked to pass it as it provides an adequately effective means of applying the principel of home rule to the fixing of compensation of county employes. The report points out that cost of living is now about 65 per cent, higher than before the war and that many readjustments of salary are needed. The report in speaking of salaries of State officers and employes which must be fixed by the Legislature, recommends uniformity in fixing salaries of certain boards, some of which are now empowered to make appointments and fix salaries while others are authorified to make appointments but the salaries are fixed. The Attorney General's salary should be increased from 12,000 a year to the report recommends, while all cabinet officers should be paid an amount now paid to some. Other increases are suggested for mine inspectors and other State attaches.

As a result of the introduction of the bill more than 100 bills repealing old salary acts made their appearance in Senate and House last night. Representative Witkin, Philadelphia, put in an even 100 repealers in the House alone. A bill similar to that which Senator Salus introduced a week ago in the Senate, providing that the city solicitor of Philadelphia be elected by the people instead of being ap pointed, was offered Dy Sterling. Mr. Sterling was.afso the sponsor of a bill appropriating $50,000 to the National Farm School at Doylestown.

Representative Blumbcrg, Phila delphia, introduced a bill appropriat ing 522,500 to the women's southern Homeopathic Hospital of Philadelphia. Sponsored by the Committee of Seventy, and with the endorsement of former District Attorney Charles E. Fox, the city manager bill for Philadelphia was introduced into the State Senate last night, by Senator Samuel W. Salus. "I don't know whether this will improve the situation he said, "but it couldn't maKe thing any worse than they are.

The present financial combination which is running Philadelphia is concerned only with their own personal welfare." Nathan Lehmayer- II, for many years a taxing officer in the Bureau of Corporations of the State Auditor General's Department, has resigned in order to become associated with the Pennsylvania Tax Service Corporation with offices in Philadelphia and Harrisburg. $18,365,674 Collected in Motor Fees in January Collections of the State Highway Department from motor license fees for 1929 to the close of January amounted to $18,365,674.22 as compared with $17,275,813.19 a year ago at the same time. Most of the collection was made during the final weeks of 1928, when the rush was on for license plates for motor vehicles. During January alone the collections amounted to increase of only $139,573 over the record for January of 1928. Up to the beginning of this month 1,083,287.

jassenger automobiles had been registered, or 77,279 more than had been registered to the same period a year ago. The motorists paid $11,267,573 for these license plates. The number of commercial cars licensed to the close of January was 168,309, an increase of 5832 over last year's total on the same day. Registration of motorcycles continues to drop for this year there are 4588 le-ally able to be operated on the roads, while last year at this time there were 4820 registered.

In a sworn confession to borough police, H.

E. Davis, proprietor of a local tire shop, revealed that the $4000 robbery which was purported to have occurred last Wednesday night was a hoax. Although no bonds nor the $900 in cash was not stolen, the store was broken into on that night and about $100 taken, Davis stated. Unable to make settlement for the tire shop, Davis took advantage of the situation when he discovered the cash registers in the store broken open and reported to police that $3200 in bonds and $900 in cash had been stolen. No prosecution will be brought vagainst him, authorities said.

Davis in his statement said that the deal for the shop was transacted on last December 19. He made a cash payment of $500 to C. R. Hoffman with the understanding that the remainder of the $2800, the amount of the deal, be paid within a month. The final payment was to be made witri bonds worth $2000 and $300 cash.
