¢ With THE BorouGH LAWMAKERS.— | Eight members were present at the reg- : alar meeting of council on Monday even | ing, the absentee being Mr. Sheffer, of the North ward. The chairman of the Street and Water | committees reported various repairs in | different parts of the town, but nothing | unusual. Mr. Musser, for the Water! committee, reported that the officials of the Yeager Swing factory had refused to sign a lease for the property they now | occupy and that notice had been served on them to vacate on January Ist, 1911. + Clement Dale Esq. attorney for the county commissioners, was present and | asked an investigation of the fact that’ water tax assessed against the coun-: for the fourth quarter is $37.66, twice as much as the tax for the three quarters | preceding. The matter was referred to | the Water committee for investigation i and report. Mr. Kirk asked what was being done | carried out very successfully. Upwards of one hundred persons were present and the cvening proved a very delightful one for all. | The early Monday moming train was well | loaded with teachers bound for the teachers’ in- stitute at Bellefonte. One of the old stand-bys. | missed the train as well as rol! call. Henry L. Dale who for the past nine months has been in the Badger and Sucker States, re- turned home Friday. and is inclined to think the old Keystone State is good enough for him. i Martin A.

Butchering is about over. and we are waxing | saucy and fat in sausages. Quite a number of our folks will entertain large: | ly at dinner on Christmas day. i Sleighing is excellent, the jingle of sleigh bells is incessant, while the merry laugh is heard at al | hours of the day and night. | | in the matter of laying a pavement — | ’ i generally remarked that the Christmas | around the corner at Rhoads’ property, | number of the WATCHMAN. is always a very hand. | on Linn street, to take the place of the | some issue. and this year's was certainly no ex- i one torn away in the building of the state | road. Inasmuch as nothing had been done in the matter the president referred the matter to the Street committee to investigate and ascertain just what kind of a pavement it would be best to put down, with contract price for same, and report at next meeting. Mr. Kirk further suggested that the percentage of the cost of construction of the new state road, curbing and gutters and brick paving to be paid by the ad- joining property owners ought to be col- lected, and the borough solicitor was in- structed to make out and render bills for same at once. A note for $2,200 held by Jared Har- per, one for $800 held by Mrs. Minnie Harper and one for $2,000 held by F. W. Crider were authorized to be renewed, the first two for six months and the lat- : ter for three months. With the approval | of the bills council adjourned. ——Jjohn G. Dauberman and D.

Then! walk up to the job wherever it is and | ask for it like a man.” : This advice was greeted with great applause, and the railway president | sat down amid a storm of cheers.
