Royalty payments
protected by bill
Legislation authored by Rep.
Garth Everett (R-Lycoming/
Union) designed to protect
natural gas drilling lease owners’ royalty payments was approved on a bipartisan vote of
20-7 by the House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee. Joined by co-sponsors
Reps. Sandra Major (R-Susquehanna/Wayne), Matthew Baker
(R-Bradford/Potter/Tioga), Tina
Pickett (R-Bradford/Sullivan/
Susquehanna) and Karen Boback (R-Lackawanna/Luzerne/
Wyoming), the following statement was issued:
“There has been a great deal
of work done with legislative
colleagues and stakeholders
on this issue for some time and
House Bill 1391 represents a
more simplified effort to provide fairness for natural gas
drilling lease holders. The approval by the committee signals
that this is a good bill worthy of
open debate on the House floor.
“This bill would protect lease
owners by guaranteeing that a
minimum royalty payment for
unconventional gas well production would not be less than
one-eighth (12.5 percent). Companies have reduced royalty
payments by deducting postproduction costs.
“A 2010 Pennsylvania Supreme Court case determined
that the General Assembly is the
proper branch of government to
determine public policy regarding royalty valuation. We have
continued to push this effort for
the protection of the shale gas
well lease holders.
“We anticipate the floor debate to include an amendment
process and we look forward to
a spirit of cooperation as we get
to the final passage of this legislation.”

A Piece of Americana on Display in Harford
620,000 American soldiers
were killed in the American Civil
War – roughly half of all who have
died in all other conflicts. Thousands more were wounded. The
horrific statistics compelled the
government to act and establish
a number of Soldiers Orphan
Schools.
During the years of 1865 to
1902, the Soldiers Orphan School
near Harford provided education, food, clothing and medical
care for children under 16 years
of age who were orphaned by
the Civil War. The original campus of the school consisted of 20
buildings (dormitories, chapel,
hospital, bakery, etc.) Today only
one building remains, known as
Franklin Hall. The downstairs of
Franklin Hall was a dining room.
Some orphans who ate in this
dining room were only 6 years
old and they sat on stools to eat
their meals. A few original stools
were rescued and can be seen in
the hall which is now a museum.
The upstairs of Franklin Hall was
the boy’s dormitory. The narrow
beds were separated by a wood
partition. One original bed was
rescued and it is also on display.
There were 8 grades in the
school. The students wore uniforms, most of which were made
by students and staff of the school.
The academic training included:
Algebra, geometry, civil government, philosophy, Latin, vocal
instruction and religious instruction. The students received 6
hours of classroom instruction
and worked for 2 hours each day.
Antique Loom on display in Harford
The girls were taught cooking,
laundry, sewing and calisthenics; the boys were taught maintenance, farming and military drills.
Students graduated at 16 years
old. Many graduates went on to
have successful careers and several became well known.
The Harford Historical Society
is preserving this bit of local history, in honor of local families who
suffered because of the Civil War
and in appreciation for our Pennsylvania State Government, who
helped children of soldiers who
sacrificed their lives in war. Their
families had no Veteran Administration to turn to for help.
On July 9th, the Soldiers Orphan School building and museum will be open from 9 AM to
2 PM.
In addition to the school building itself and the items from the
school era, a newly donated antique loom will also be on display.
The loom was donated by Conrad
Owens and was purchased by his
grandmother Daisy Conrad For-
sythe. An accompanying original
ad identifies it as a Union Loom –
No. 36 rug loom.
Dated to about the mid 1930’s,
the machines were built in Boonville, New York in an abandoned
high school that was converted
into Union Specialty Works in
1911.
A simple foot powered pulley
system allows for the change of
sheds, and the beams and wheels
allow control over the tension.
Besides operating efficiently, it
was perfect for the housewife
who wanted to make a little extra money. Rags were saved and
sewn into strips to make yards of
warp. When first manufactured,
it could be bought for $39.95 and
that included 10 yards of warp
already wound up on the wheel!
So come and spend some
time on Saturday, July 9th (9am
to 2pm), supporting the Harford
Historical Society. Browse our
used book sale, tour a unique museum, and learn about a piece of
Americana.
