- The Way we Look at It,
Tho Borough Council held an adjourned
meeting last night for general business,
but more especially to consider the ordln
ance govornlng the public water works
and the appointment of a superintendent
for the work. The members present were
Messrs. Hand, Dougherty, Kerns, T. J.
James, Gafllgan, Boehm, StraUghn, Me-
luskey, McElhenny, Reese, Gable, D. R,
James, Magargle and President McGulre.
Borough Auditor Jacob Bamberger
presented the report for the fiscal year
ending March lBt and upon the conclusion
of his statement Presldtnt McGulre said
the Auditors deserved the thanks of
Council for their work. Auditor Bam
berger paid a compliment to ex-Treasurer
T. F. Bradlgan and ex-Secretary John J.
Cirdln, stating that their books were
I found in excellent condition.
Borough solicitor I'omeroy then pro-
ceeded to read a draft of the public water
works ordinance he had prepured and
each section was considered ns it was
read. The ordluauce is a very lengthy
one, containing over 35 sections. It pro
vldes that the water works of the borough
shall be under the control and manage
ment of the Council and that a committee
for permission to lay a new sewer pipe
line from their prop? rtles on Centre street, 1
between Main and Jardln streets, and to
! run down Pear alley and connect with
the borough drain at the rear of the
borough building. The request was re-
ferred to tho street committee for investigation.
Mr. Hand asked whether the borough
pays the expense of giving grades to
people T. J. James answered that sev
eral years ago Council paid the expense
of putting three grade stakes in each
(square with the understanding that if
the property owners wanted higher grad
they should pay for them. Mr. Gufllgan
said there are several alleys that have no
grades.
A number of bills laid over from t
last meeting wnre ncrnin laid over. Co
cil deciding that as there was no monby
in the treasury orders would only be Is
sued for the salaries of borough officers.
Accordingly orders were granted to pay
the Chief Burgess, High Constable,
Supervisor, Health Officer and the police,
Including bills for three days pay sub
mitted by ex-Pollcemen O'Hara, Casey,
Flaherty and Dougherty.
There are two values to a purchase what it costs and what it is
worth. It matters little what you pay, within reasonable
bounds; it matters a great deal what you receive in return for
the expenditure. Reckoning on this basis, our line of wall

According to promise, Supervisor Mc
Gulre got a large gang of men out this
morning to scrape the mud off Main and
Centre streets and now great mounds
nriso to Impress upon the minds of the
thinking public the absurdity of dragg
ing cheap material upon the streets to
make tho so-called repairs in the fall and
hauling it off In mud when Spring opens.
Good streets nre never secured under the
old mud patching system.
The pavement on the north side of Oak
street, between Main street and Pear
alley, should receive the attention of the
borough authorities before somebody
stumbles over the cracked and disordered
slabs and forms a basis for a suit for
damages. This pavement is made of
cement and has always been a source of
annoyance to the public and borough
authorities. When It cracks water gets
under it and either causes pieces to be
raised high or lowered so as to form pits.
This Is the condition at the present time.
The pavement should be repaired at once,
and well, too.
There has been considerable talk about
Shenandoah having a bicycle club, but it
has not materialized. About twenty-
five Prlncesof the Pedal have been trying
to effect an organization for u number ot
weeks, hut for some reason their efforts
have not been successful.
Joe Scally, the newsboy, has been play
ing tricks again. In the Grant Band room
there is a blackboard, which is used for
meeting and other announcements,
When members of the band visited the
room Tuesday night they found the fol
lowing announcement on the board :
"This band will hold regular meetings on
the first Tuesday of each month, when It
does not fall on a Sunday. By order of
the president." The president came in
for considerable good-natured criticism
until a close inspection disclosed tho
signature, "Joe Scilly," In a corner.
Never before has there been such a
lavish dlsploy of Easter ornaments and
