The Daily Times is Mad Clean
' Through and Has Succeeded
Admirably in Letting the Fact
Be Known
Tuesday's issue of the Daily
Times (elsewhere referred to as the
d. t) contained the following
article which for downright deceit,
deliberate misrepresentation and
unqualified falsehood surpasses
cisms that have appeared in the d.
t. during the last year. The article
in full is as follows : >
Last evening council meeting sarav-
eled another chapter in ths sewer work
which adds to the Sapedy sheesh ana
the people's money is being spent y
without anything to show forit. The
Billa for peluting the specifications was

that which it was gives out it had
beep let for. Mr. West stated at the
time that the |
cents a page and the type
brevier, but it
arp and now the bill for $73.77
has been ordered paid.
This with other bills makes the sewar
sition an expensive ome to even
ink of, let alone even having it built.
The publishing of four ordinances ia one
paper which bill has -been rendered and
ordered paid is almost double the price
that has been charged for borough work
heretofore and yet the comedy vey

spent sewer pro on
/ where it started.
ons ought to ask the Sewer Com-
mittee to resign and flop spending the
people's money so lavishly.
It will take at least a fortnight lon-
ger, to secure a rig to cross the flats,
which the committee asked to have con-
tracts for and another month will make
it pretty late for this season's work.
The d, t. may be likened to Ve-
suvius. An outbreak is apt to take
place almost any time, and when it
does occur mud flows right and
left. The trouble with the d. t. is
that i suffers with a chronic grouch
which in the wrong time of the
moon vents itselt in an outburst,
In the case of the little job of print-
ing the sewer specifications the d. t.
lost the job, and the usual ill.
natured howl followed. When the
committee requested estimates for
printing the specifications, the d. t.
asked 80 cents a page, and The
Record 67 cents Naturally enough
the difference of 13 cents a page
gave the work to The Record, and
the copy was put in type promptly,
men working day and night to sub
mit proofs as soon as possible.
After the work had progressed that
far, the members of the council
who had charge of the sewer pro-
position, for reasons which can be
ascertained by any citizen—and for
which The Record was no more at
fault than the d. t.—decided to re-
ject the specifications already in
type and substitute other copy.
After the type had been set the
second time the book was printed,
The completed work was charged
for at the rate of 67 cents a page,
13 cents a page less than the bid of
the d. t, and as the work figured
65 pages the total charge was
$43.55. It was not the fault of The
Record that the first specifications
were discarded, and accordingly
the cost of typesetting that was not
used was charged to the borough,
the amount being $3022. Regard.
ing the workmanship on the sewer
book, The Record is more than
willing to have it compared with
last year's edition of the Annual
Report of the Robert Packer hos-
pital.
In the second paragraph of the
d. t's, article the statement is made
that the bill of one paper for pub.
lishing ordinances relating to the
sewer proposition is almost double
the price that has been charged for
borough work heretofore. Now
that the d. t. has broken the ice,
let us look into some of its own
charges for publishing ordinances.
Along in April and May, 1905, the
d. t. published an ordinance which
was to grant a franchise to a trol-
ley road. The ordinance appeared
once a week for four weeks, and
according to the records of the
borough, was charged as 40 folios
at 75 and 50 cents a folio, the tos
tal amount of the bill being $90.00
~and the bill was paid. Ia prin-
ter's parlance, a “folio” is usually
meaning 100 words, aad
BL |
rate per line charged by the other
paper for advertising the four or
dinances relating to the sewer
proposition is exactly 2 cents, yet
the d. t. brazenly states that the
price was double that charged the
borough heretofore. If ‘the d. t.
had charged 2 cents per line for
the bill would have been about
$38 40, instead of $9000 which
was paid the dt. for the service.
Again, in the third paragraph of
the d. t. article quoted above, the
statement is made that the sum of
$1500 had been foolishly spent and
the sewer proposition richt where
it started, This is a bald misstate-
ment, made with the obvious intent
of discrediting the work of the
sewer committee, Up to yesterday
noon the records of the borough
show that $1188 21 had been paid
out on the sewer proposition, and
dollar of the amouat has been
wisely expended.
The figures that are given above
are taken from the records of the
borough and their correctness can
be verified by any citizen.
The suggestion of the d ty that
the sewer committee resign is not
made in good futh. The d.t. is
trying to throw dust in the eyes of
the people by creating the impres-
sion that the resignation of the
sewer committee is for the best in-
terests of the borough, but the
African in the d. t's woodpile will
not not keep hidden. The
plain fact of the matter is
that the d. t is sore over
a little job of printing which its
high prices did not secure, and the
frantic yell which emanates from
the Lockhart street blunder factory
can only be charged up to the in-
ordinate jealousy which has char-
acterized the policy of the d, t. ever
since the first issue of The Record,
Itis just an’ordinary case of sour
grapes surcharged with venom.
AT THE LOOMIS
The attraction booked for week
of September 17 at the Loomis
Opera House is the New York
Standard Stock Company in a
repertoire of original plays. Not
only are the plays presented by
this company new, but they are
superbly mounted, each play being
a scenic production. In “An Or.
phan’s Prayer” one is carried into
the rural district of New Hamp-
shire, The first act shows the
homestead and farmyard of Seth
Owens. There is the barn, the hay
stacks, and even the chickens walk-
ing about the yard. Everything is
so real that one fancies one can
smell the new mown hay. The de-
lightful rural characters in this de-
lightful rural environment haunt
the memory with a lasting charm.
The quaint, old fashioned “settin’
room,” without which no pastoral
play is complete, is shown in the
second act of this beautiful, pathetic,
soul stirring drama. The scene of
the third is laid in the heart of
New York, showing the exterior
of St. Patrick's cathedral and a
realistic snowstorm. In the fourth
act one is back at the old home-
stead again and is grateful to see
it's barn bursting with hay, the
vineclad cottage and the old famil-
iar well. The old pony is still in
his stall in the barn and his shaggy
head looking through the open
window causes a lump ¥ rise in
your throat, This play brings back
the day of your childhood, thrills
you with its wholesome, beautiful
story, and is really a treat you
should not miss.

No Certificate Has Been Issued

the report that the car had been
ed This morning Mr. Yocum re-
state health commissioner, The
letter follows:
Harrisburg, Sept. 4, 1906.
Mr. C. C. Yocum,
Sayre, Pa.
Dear Sir:—I have your letter of
the 1st instant, and beg to say that
no certificate was ever issued by
the department of Health of Pena-
sylvania certifying that the car
used for the Assyrian lep:r has
been properly fumigated and there
was no danger of spreading the dis-
case by the use of th= car. The
car is now in the jurisdiction of
your board of health. If your
board feels that it is necessary for
the protection of the health of your
people to have the car burned 1
would say that their authority
would not be interfered with by a
certificate from a board of health
of another state,
Yours very truly,
(Signed) Samuel G. Dixon.
It will be seen from the above
letter that the state health authori-
ities have never had jurisdiction of
the car, nor will a certificate from
health boards of other states inter~
fere with any action which the local
board may see fit to take. Whether
the local board intends taking any
further steps is not known. This
morning Councilman Hassler stat-
ed to a Record man over the tele~
phone that the car is at East Wa-
verly ; that it has been painted
brown, but that someone has
marked it so liberally with chalk
that from a distance it looks as if it
had been painted white. Mr, Has.
ler also stated that the car had
been as far as Manchester but that
when it reached that place the train
crews refused to handle it, Mr.
Hassler did not explain, however,
in what manner it was brought
back to the yards at East Waverly.
