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.
The company's new offices are
completed, and are most attractive
ly and conveniently arranged. In
the basement is the waiting room
for employees, and on the first
floor is a lobby, the cashier's office,
the book-keeping department, and
General Manager Ellis's private
office. 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.
The office force has not yet been
decided, but will be acted upon
soon by the Board of Directors.
The general manager of the new
company, Mr. B. O. Ellis, has
had wide experience in the busi
ness, having been connected with
similar work for some years past,
and is a practical electrician as well
as a thorough business man. He
has already made many friends
here. '
LEG BROKEN BT A KICK.
Jury Commissioner A. C. Hid-
lay had bis leg broken below the
knee by the kick of a pony last
Friday. The pony belongs to his
6on, Bruce, ana it was neing cup
ped at Corell's livery, Mr. Hidlay
holding it. The pony gave a sud
den plunge and kick, with the
above result. It is a painful injury, j
and Mr. Hidlay is suffering from it. 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.
LOST VALUABLE HORSE.
" Jerry Saltzer had the misfortune
to lose a good horse on Saturday
night. It got out into the alley,
ti e stable door having been acci
dentally left open, and enjoyed its
freedom by running up and down
the alley. Soon after it was return
ed to the stable it began to bleed
at the nose, and in about fifteen
minutes dropped to the floor and
died shortly. It is supposed that a
blood vessel bursted.
Mr. Saltzer has had the horse
for eleven years, and it was always
a reliable animal.
TOOLEY'S OPENING.
The opening of Tooley & Co.'s
new grocery store in the Columbia
Theatre building toolc place on
Monday and Tuesday of this week
The store occupies nearly all the
space formerly used by Fowler s
restaurant, the partitions having
been removed, and the space thrown
into one room. A large glass front
has been put in, and tbe goods are
very attractively arranged.
Tooley's is one of the finest gro
cery stores in this section. It was
visited by hundreds of people on
the opening days, and each one was
presented with a ticket to a moving
picture show.
MERCANTILE APPRAISER BUSY.
Mercantile appraiser John S.
Scott has been busy in the
performance ot his official duties
for several weeks past. He was at
work in Bloomsburg during the
nast week, and has nearly com
pleted the county.
