A communication was received from C. W, Kinney, superinteudent of the Pennsylvania division of the Lehigh, requesting that the com- pany be allowed to defer the build- ing of a side walk on Cayuga street until next spring, and that in the meantime the walk would be kept in as good condition as passible.

The borough ordinance provides that the spow shall be removed from sidewalks within a stated number of hours after cach storm. Except in the public parks and on sidewalks in front of property under control of the bor ough authorities it is the duty of every resident who owns or is occupying dwelling houses, in the front of which are sidewalks, to see that the same are kept Cleas from snow, The council discussed the situa tion to some extent and then decided that it was a matter which properly “belonged to the burgess and the police department. The clerk of the borough was iastruct- &d to communicate with the bift- gess and inform him of the action taken by the council. As soon as the matter has been called to the attention of the burgess it is quite likely that he will instruct the police to take lawful methods to insure clean sidewalks in Sayre during the coming winter. 1.0, 0.

The proposition will | no doubt meet with opposition but | nevertheless it is my opinion that | it is a matter which is worthy of | consideration, and | should like to] hear from the members of “the council,” said M. H. Sawtelle, bor- ough president, during a lull at last night's meeting of the borough law makers. The proposition met with favor and during the ensuing half hour it was freely and fully dis cussed. Every councilman in the chamber spoke in favor of the project, and if the impetus it was given last night is followed to the finish the chances are decidedly in favor of bringing the boroughs named under one grand city govs ernment. In years gone by the question of uniting the three boroughs has been discussed, but never until last night were there any well defined plans made for bringing about the It has for a long time been conceded that eventually Sayre, Athens and South Waverly would consolidate, borough lines would be eliminated, and a city of from 15,000 to 20,000 souls would result. Business men and influen- tial citizens in all three boroughs who are interested: in the great possibilities of this valley have given the matter their serious con- sideration and from time to time have expressed themselves as wil- ling to work far the adoption of certain measures which in the end would spell GREATER-SAYRE. Until the present time the matter has been merely a pleasant dream to those who were interested, but at the meeting held by the Sayre borough council last nightthe first preliminary step was taken; a step which will meet with the Spproval of every citizen of this borough and which has already been looked upon with favor by many residents in Athens and South Waverly. The council gave the question considerable discussion during which it developed that there was a unanimous sentiment in favor of consolidation. It was argued that the three towns at the present time hare practically one, but that by reason of borough lines and separ- ate governments neither of the places mentioned could ever hope to gain prestige abroad. Oa the other hand consolidation would mean a city of the plains, under one government, with at least 18,- 000 inhabitants, that would com- mand the attention of the outside world, and result in manufacturing establishments and similar enter- prises looking upon the place with favor. Briefly, these are the rea sons that are given by those who believe that the three towns should be united In order to accomplish this end it will be necessary to appeal to the state legislature At the extra session which will be held at Har- risburg presently a bill will be introduced and probably passed by which the city of Pittsburg will absorb all its suburbs, and at the council meeting held last night it was suggested that it would be an excellent plan to move now and sce if the matter could be called to the attention of the legislature while it is in session. At the conclusion of the discuss sion Councilman C. C. West sug- gested that a committee of three be appointed by the president of the council and that the committee be instructed to request the couns cils of Athensand South Waverly to appoint ' committees with a view of holding a joint meeting at which ihe question of consolidation could H.

SINPLE SIMON SIMPLE Simon and Mose made popular throughout the United States through the medium of the comic newspaper supplements, have been made the central figures of a new rural operatic extravaganza. "Sim- ple Simon Simple" This clever pizce was brought out in Philadel- phia last summer and was perform- ed for many weeks to large and enthusiastic audiences. While the spectacle was written around car- toon characters, it isa well con- structed vehicle, consistent, funny and tuneful to a "degree. This, combined with handsome costumes, cautiful scenery and peopled with a bevy of pretty girls, makes the entertainment an enjoyable one in every respect. “Simple Simon Simple” is filled with novelties, the most striking one being the Frog Pond at night, and shows a moon- lit swamp filled with lily pads, bull rushes, etc. Mose seeks to prove his love for Dinah whom he has met there by appointment. They are interrupted by Simon who appears as a gigantic frog. The diminutive lovers flee in terror and Simon does an eccentric frog dance and song, the chorus of which is taken up by a chorus of girls whose hats are really the lily pads which seem to float on the placid snriace of the stream. “Simple Simon Simple” will be the attrac- tion at the Loomis on Tuesday, December 12. APPRAISENENT COMPLETED W. E. Lane, trustee in the H.A. Kaufman bankruptcy matter, and the appraisers, L. Marks, Frank Rosenfield and John Mix, of To- wanda, have completed the invens tory of the stock left in the Lock- hart street store at the time the doors were closed. The inventory would indicate that matters are in much better shape than was sup- posed at the time the petition of the bankrupt was filed and that there is a possibility of creditors receiving a fair percentage of their money.
