OBE'S OBSERVATIONS.
Hunt no bees and lleura Uurlni- in
Travels.
Tho pooplo aro beginning to realize that
when the IIebai.d repeatedly stated that
somo or me preteut Councilmen of the bor
ougn did not know what they wero doin
half the tirao tho paper pretty well under
stood what It was talking about. Tho latest
confirmation of tho assertion is tho predica
ment In which the borouch has benn nliwil
in connection with tho Pennsylvania Rail
road matter. Of course the Councilmen are
out with excuses of all kinds and clal m nr.
oneration from blamo on tho ground that the
company broko faith with them, but upon
this ground they cannot bo excused. Had
thoy understood their business they would
have secured an injunction at once. That
they should have taken the word of a fore.
man employed by a contractor for tho com
pany that nothing further would be done on
tho bridge is ridiculous. Our Councilmen
have shown themselves hayseoders in this
matter.
The Borough Council's methods In connec
tion with tho Pennsylvania Railroad bridgo
matter wore quite in contrast with the
methods adopted when tho Councilman
wanted to show tho electric railway company
that they were "the people." In tho Couu
ollmon the eloctrio road found a nartv of
bulldozers, tormentors and obstructionists,
but tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company
found in them a nest of nice, grectr farmers.
hands of the same people.
But hoi another blundor ro-appoars upon
the horizon ! Look at the street I When th
Messrs. Grant were before Council making
arrangements for street Pavlnir tho nentlemen
stated that they could do little of tho paving
this fall and would prefer not doing any until
spring. Council stated that tho electric rail
way company was ready to pavo and it had'
been decided to have tho company lay its
railway along Main street aud pave at gradtt
at tho same time, so that the work would not
have to bo done again in tho spring. Council
asked Mr. Grant if ho would reduco tho street
on each sido of the railway to grado so as to
make travel safo until the paving would
begin in tho spring. Mr. Grant said he
would do so. At tho last Council meeting
complaint was mado that Main street was In
a, dangerous condition since tho railway had
been put in at grade.
"Didn't Mr. Grant agrco to cut down the
street to tho grado of tho railway 1" asked
somo one.
Tho answer to the query was that Mr.
Grant had agreed to do so Vrbally, but as it
was not in writing and as Council had not
mado a contract for the paving there was no
means by which he could bo compollcd to eu
down tho street.
Council was puzzled, but finally it wm
deeided that the street committee ask tb
electric railway coinnanv to cut down the
embankments at each side of its road and try
to make tho street safe for travel: and if the
comiinny should refuse to do tho work that
the committee do it at tho borough's expense.
The borough is doing to work.
Tho latter action of Council was as silly at
the action, or, rather, non-action in the
bridge matter. It recalled the experience of
a onco too good hearted Chief Burgess of this
town. A circus was billed to appear on tho
Kehley Run baso ball grounds. The manager
paid liis license and called for the service of
Borne special police, who wero placed on duty
by tho Uurgoss. After the show tha Iattr
presented the bill for police duty. The man-.
ager "kicked" on the sizo of it.
'I will not pay that much," Raid the Bhow-
man.
Well, now, I wouldn't ask. any man to
work for me for nothing," pleaded tho bor
ough official, "and If you will not pay the,,.
bill I will 1"
"Well, pay it," was tho heartless renlv of
tho tout kiug. On.

Chief Burgess Smith mad a stnteinant tn .
IIkrai.u reporter on Saturday iu connection
with the bridgo matter. It doos not material
ly differ with what the IlKKALD has already
published. Mr. Smith says: "Last Thursday
morning tho Street Committee called upon
tho foreman of tho work. He nromlsed to

When I found work was goiug on at tho
bridge Saturday morning I consulted with
Solicitor Potneroy aud he said that in his
opinion tho borough would have as much
sight to act in the matter after the bulldlns
of the bridge as It had before and that, in, his
