CLEAR AWAY
THE WEEDS
At. the last meeting of the Civic
League it was decided to have the
gutters and walks leading to the:
Chautauqua grounds cleared of weeds
and to plant vines wherever practi
cable near the entrance that the ap-
proaches to the grounds might pre-
_ sent a more attractive appearance.
The League also asks all house:
holders every where in town to re
move weeds and other unsightly
things which may have accumulated ,
in front or about their premises, so
that the town may present as well
‘kept and attractive appearance as
‘possible during Chautauqua week as
well as the rest of the summer, when
the ‘town is generally full of visitors.
Look about and see where an im-
provement can be made and do it
.or ask some one to help you, Many
times things are left undone simply
‘because the attention has not been
called to it. Let us have the town
looking better this year than ever
‘before. It needs only a little concert-
ed action to make it a very lovely
place. Nothing is sightly where it
has a run down look and it takes ve-
ry little labor to make it attractive
instead of umsightly.
How many people are working for
-the prizes? Remember, $10 and two
$6 are being given for the grounds
.showing the most improvement this
summer. The winners will not only
‘have this nice little sum of money
‘but also the satisfaction of seeing the
results of their labors in a fine lawn
and beautiful flowers.
If possible, those working for one
.of the prizes should speak to a mem-
ber of the League that their efforts
-may not be overlooked as might hap-
pen if their home is a little out of
-the way. Committees have been ap-
pointed and they will do the best they
_can but it will help matters a great
deal if their attention is called to
special places.
And don’t forget about the weeds In
the gutters and along the curbing,
this week or next. The time is short
and the weeds are tall and unsightly.

Mr. Lang was present and asked
| council to vacate the alley from 6th
‘street to the B. & O. railroad. A com-
mitteee consisting of Messrs. Deeter,
} took up the matter. Solicitor W. Cur-
{tis Truxal was present at the meeting
in reference to making a loan to e-
liminate the current bills against
the borough. He suggested that coun-
cil make a temporary loan to meet
these bills and not apply any of this
fund for improvement. Council is
donsidering the making of some
street improvements in the way of
paving and sewers. The president ap-
pointed Messs. Staub, Deeter and
Emeigh as a committee to ascertain
how much work and an estimate of
cost on same, to be submitted to the
solicitor. If council decides to make
this improvement it will be necessa-
ry to pass an ordinance and let it be
submitted to a vote of the people
whether or not the indebtedness of
the borough shall be increased. The
solicitor instructed the burgess rel-
ative to dog license; ordinance, No. 6
positively states that any owner who
fails to register that he has a dog
is liable to a fine. The burgess, with
the consent of council has the right
to kill and remove dogs whose own
ers have no license for them.
Tax Collector Baer was present
and furnished a list of exonerations
from the 1915 tax duplicate. It was
‘decided by council to exonerate the
persons whose names were checked
on the list.
