15 I MIDDLETOWN ] Council Discusses Topics of Interest to Borough • Borough council in regular ses sion last evening transacted the fol lowing business: The matter of raising the salaries of Burgess Ging rich and Chief of Police Charles Houser wa sreferred to the ord nance committee, who in turn will take up the matter with Solicitor John R. Geyer. Adam H. Lucken bill, a member of council, has been authorized to go to Elmira. N. Y., at which place he will inquire in reference to the delivery of the new chemical fire truck, which was due here the latter part of May, but has not arrived as yet. No commu nication has been received from t|ie corhpany for the last several months in regards to the shipment of the truck. It was supposed to be ship ped on May 10. Council hesitates to cancel order owing to the fact of the advance of price in cars. Will try once more to purchase oil for the streets and will make applica tion for oil, and will take up the matter with the highway commis sioners. Two members think that the hard use of the streets by the trucks and cars of the aviation and ordnance depot may be a factor to secure oil for the streets. Burgess Gingrich turned In over SIIB.BO to the town clerks for dues and fines. The building committee was author ized to get an estimate on the cost of painting the Rescue hosehouse.

Formerly housewives hesitated about preserving too much, par ticularly if the "cold pack" method was used, for fear some of the good things would spoil ! in time. But today, with spick and span A— glasses and jars, / sealed air-tight ( AT Ijf) with clean, pure Parowax, that dan ger is removed, c- —•>, J_j Even "cold pack" preserves are completely protected against deterioration when the jar-tops are dipped in Parowax. Parowax keeps out all deterio rating influences—air, dust, germs, everything. It keeps in all the goodness, flavor, fresh ness. Your grocer sells and recommends Parowax.

' Penbrook Is Promised Better Water Supply Residents in high points of Pen brook are now having difficulty in securing a sufficient supply of water to till their needs, but the reservoir is not empty, officials of the Hum melstown Consolidated Water Com pany said this morning. The pumps were yesterday pumping against a pressure of 185 pounds and in the late afternoon there was approxi mately two feet of water in the res ervoir on Chambers Hill. The reservoir which supplies Pen brook and several other towns has a capacity of 1,000,000 gallons, but it is never filled. Officials of the Hum melstown company this morning said they hope soon to get the matter remedied. Their pumps have not been in the best of shape, they say, but they declared their condition,is being gradually improved. ( ■ ■ * ***** RAILROAD RUMBLES ORDERS READY .1 ON CAR STEEL Seventeen Companies Share in Government Contracts For Equipment After a delay of about a month, things are beginning to move on the government's order for 100,000 rail way cars. Orders for the necessary steel have been allocated and It is expected that the mills in this dis trict and elsewhere will get instruc tions by the end of this week. This will leave a rather short mar gin in which to begin shipments, for It is expected that the steel will be gin moving June 20 and that deliv eries of materials will be completed In 120 days. About 1,000,000 tons of plates, shapes and bars will be required, In addition to axles, wheels, rivets and other material. It was reported last week that part of the delay in allocating the orders for car steel had been due to the inclusion in the plans of a spe cial nine-inch channel which would have required the construction of special rolls, but it is understood that the decision has been reached to call for channels which can be provided without much trouble by standard mills, thus obviating the necessity of waiting a long time for special rolls. Many Companies Share Seventeen companies will share In the government's car order, the al lotments having been made as fol lows: American Car and Foundry Company 30,000 Bittendorf Car Company... 3,000 Cambria Steel Company ... 3.000 Haskell & Barker 8,000 Keith Car and Foundry Com pany 1,000 Lenoir Car Works 3,000 Liberty Car and Equipment Company 1,000 Magor Cor Corporation .... 1,000 Mount Vernon Car Company 4,000 Pacific Car Company 2,000 Pressed Steel Car Company. 14,000 Pullman Car Company .... 8.000 Ralston Steel Car Company. 4,000 St. Louis Car Company .... 1,000 Standard Steel Car Company 15,000 Barney & Smith 2,000 Laconia Car Company 1,000 The American Car and Foundry Company, which operates eight plants, has promised to deliver 250 cars a day after the start has been made, which means completion of the order in four months.
