WOULDN'T IT FOR YOU TO CAST WITH THIS ; E RLOOMSBUnG NATIOiiAyBW I BLOOMSBURG PENN A 1 " " ----- - - - - - . THE NEW TROLLEY AND LIGHT CO. The Consolidation Means Im provements and added Conveniences. Through Cars Will Be Run. The consolidation of the trolley lines and the lighting companies of Bloomsburg, Berwick and Danville into one organization known as the Columbia Power, Light, and Rail ways Company, is about completed, and it is expected that work will begin next week under the one corporation. A number of gentlemen wno are interested in the matter were in town on Monday. They were E. R. Sponsler, Esq., of Harrisburg; Hon. W. H.. Sponsler, of New Bloomfield; Judge Koch, of Potts ville, Mr. H. W. Hamlin, of Har risburg, and Mr. W. F. Lowry, of Berwick. After an inspection of the property they held an extended meeting. It was decided to proceed at once with the necessary improve ments on the line and in the equip ment. It was also determined that in the near future cars will run between Danville and Berwick, making all the usual stops, as heretofore. Bloomsburg will be the centre of operations. All cars will start and stop on Main street in front of the company offices. The service from Blooms burg to Catawissa and Berwick will continue as at present. The power plant at Grovania will be abandoned. The central power plant will be that of the Irondale Company which will be enlarged, and any additional power required will be obtained from Harwood, near Hazleton.

As you enter the front door the room looks like an up-to-date banking house. In the front windows are dis played gas and electric appliances, gas ranges electric chafing dishes, toasters, coffee urns, lamps, and other modern appliances that can be used in connection with gas and electricity. The ranges will be handled by the company, and the other articles can be obtained through dealers in town.

I NO REBATE ON COUNTY TAX, Owing to the fact that the Tax Department of the Auditor Gener al's office at Harrisburg has refused to allow the usual five per cent, dis count on State taxes where the amounts have been paid within six ty days from the date of the dupli cate, the County Commissioners on Tuesday were obliged to take simi lar action. Hereafter state taxes will have to be paid in full, and no reoate for prompt payment will be allowed. In this county this amounts to about $800 each year. In the past the Commissioners were allowed the discount in question by the State, but aince the change, this will be paid over to the State treas urer. The fact is that this will be a more just arrangement than the re bate system. Under the former rule the man with a fat bank ac count could pay his tax within thirty days, and save five percent., which the laboring man who often finds it hard to raise enough spare 1 cash to pay taxes at any time, sel- uom was aoie 10 pay wunm tne thirty days, and so lost the discount.
