pinion in which the borough of Ben-

siderable attention because after its
controversy with the White Qak con-
cern the borough made a contract
with the Penn Electric Service Com-
pany. The latter contract is approved.
The Town Counci of Berlin has a-
dopted an ordinaace regulating the '
speed of motor-driven vehicles, mak-
ing the maximum speed fifteen miles
an hour. Under the present condition
of Berlin's main street, motorists are
not likely to violate the ordinance,
but after the street is paved, as it
will be next year, the long straight
stretch may tempt chauffeurs to make
a speedway out of the street.
C. C. Shmucker, of Boswell,

George Kimmel, a surveyor of Som-
erset township, recently came across
an old tree that was used as a mark-
er for surveys that were made in
1799, according to records on file at
the courthouse. The notches in the
tree are still visible and it is believed
this is the only one of that age in the
county. Other monarchs fell victims
to the ax of the woodman, but this
particular tree is full of knots and
not suitable for lumber. The severs
storm of last year broke down a por-
tion of the iree, which is three .feet
in diameter at the base, and the once
giant is rapidly decaying.
