Borough Authorities Will En-
Cleaning Them After a Storm
The matter of clearing snow
from the sidewalks in Sayre during
the coming winter was brought to
the attention of the council last
might by street commissioner
Fields. 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.

Important Steps Taken by the |
Borough Council Toward the |
Sayre, Athens and South Wa-|
verly
“Consoiidation is the order of] |
the day and I believe that the time |
should be amalgamated under one |
city charter. 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

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.
