The Incoming borough council which will organise for business ou March Ist will be confronted with two propositions, both of which will be heritages from the old law making body. Reference is made Lo the sew- er and the lown ball propositions. The sewer project is well under way, and unless something unforseen oc curs in the meantime work on the trunk line will be commenced some Ume in April. The town hall project, however, Is tol so far along, but It is confideully expected by those In favor of it, that the new council will get busy at ouce and that the gues- Uon will be submitted to the people al the earliest possible date Another problem which will con- front the borough solons and which Is being agitaled at the present time, is the paving of the streets in the business center. Sooner or iater the sireets of Sayre must be paved but thus far It has been conceded on all sides that it Is useless to pave until such time as the town has been pro- vided with a trunk lind sewer. How- ever, if the other questions are dis- posed of the paving scheme will be the next to occupy the attention of the borough dads. FIGHTING ANTI-VACCINATION, Seranion Physician Urges Profession te Rally te Suppert the Law. Scranton—Dr. J. Emmet O'Brien, of this city, has entered the campaign against the repeal of the compulsory vaccination law, He is urging the physicians to rally to the support of the law and says: I have in forty years writen my testimony to the efficiency and safety of vaccination on the arms of 20,000 people, and to the best of my knowl- edge and belief without an accident of any kind, with the result that not one of those poople, however exposed, has ever taken smallpox. I cannot belleve that this city will permit any one of its Representa- tives to vole agalnst vaccination in the public schools, one of the most efficient safeguards the people have ever known. Dr. O'Brien Is one of the foremost physicians In the region, and Is well kknownw as a contributor to leading magazines TO FIGHT EIGHT HOUR LAW.

The fourth annual session of the Association convened in (he main room of the court house at Towanda yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock After the Inaugural address by the president, the question as to what extent the State should support and control the schools was taken up and discussed. County Superintendent H S. Putnam, in an eloquent address pointed out how the schools would be benefited by having the State take full chafge. He conteded that the present system was weak and that therefore, it made the compulsory at- fendance law unnecesary. He urged tha: the directors advocate the appro- priation of at least $15,000,000 for the benefit of the schools of Pennsyiva- nia. This appropriation would equal- ize the school taxes of the various townships and boroughs by distrib uting money according to the numler of pupils. Each district would receive the mcney according to the number of the pupils. Each district would re- ceive the money according to its assessed valuation. In the discussion that followed many points were brought out which would go to show how the schools would be much Improved If the State were in full control Mauy other important fquestions were discussed by the directors among them being the effects of the new primary law. An evening session was held at which the giri's chorus of the high school readered several selections which were heartily ap- plauded. PRESBYTERIAN ALLIANCE.
