Lewis Seelig was present and com
plained about the waste paper and
other rubbish being scattered on
land joining the town's dumping
ground Street Commissioner Weld
ner stated that boys throw the stuff
over the fence into other lots. The
council instructed Mr. "Weldner to
clean up and burn the loose mater
ial at least once a week.
The council requested The Citizen
to mention In its columns that the
dumping of poisons in liquid, bulk
or other forms on the town dump
Is strictly prohibited. That al
though it is a public dumping
ground the council stated that this
is no reason why the people carting
their waste matter up there should
abuse tho privilege granted them by
the town. If poisonous substances
are dumped upon the ground they
may be scattered and do injury to
cattle, and the town might be held
responsible for any damages done.
W. H. Kreitner reported for the
committee on the proposed High
street sewer. The officers of the
Park street sewer wero Interviewed
and Councilman Kreitner stated that
the owners of that private sewer
offered to sell half or the whole of
tho sewer to the borough but would
not allow the borough to tap their
sewer The price quoted for tho
lower half of tho sewer was placed
at $500 or the town could obtain
the whole system for $1,100. Tho
council instructed C. A. McCarty to
inquire into the matter and ascer
tain whether a private company or
corporation can charge a town an
enormous price for the sale of its
business when said company or cor
poration never paid a cent to the
town In the way of franchise or
permits for the privilege of digging
up the streets any time and any
where. The committee on tho location of
new lights reported having placed
two lights on West Park street and
on West street.
The council passed two amend
ments to ordinances Nos. 10 and 24,
which are published elsewhere.
Amendment to Ordinance No. 10

heneflt of any local, charitable, re
ligious, educational, social or bor
ough improvement association, from

$5 per month. Amendment to Or
dinance No. 24 refers to out-of-town
peddlers. It will not affect a manu
facturer from selling his ware or a
farmer from disposing of his pro
duce upon the streets. Tho amend
ments and ordinances will be pub

window, where stamps and envelopes
will bo sold. Adjoining this window
there are two more sections or series
of lock boxes and then the private

BIG SURPRISE AT FAIR
Announcement of Largest Drawing
Card to Ito Mado Soon Big
Premiums Offered on Horses.
The management of the Wayne
Agricultural Society has a great big
surprise In store for the patrons of
the coming fair, which will be held
in Honesdale beginning September
30 and ending Thursday, October 3.
Wo are not at liberty to tell our
readers what It will be at present
but will make the announcement In
our next paper. Other attractions,
such as tho ocean wave, one of the
latest and safest amusements, the
ever pleasing merry-go-round and
the Ferris Wheel will bo on the
grounds.
Along the line of entertainment
the Honesdalo Cornet Band, Jenkins'
Boy Band, the Maple City Fife and
Drum Corps and the White Mills
Band will discourse music on the
fair grounds the three days of the
fair. This will be appreciated by a
number of music lovers and that it
will be a rare treat to tho people of
Wayne county, goes without saying.
All will endeavor to mako the 50th
or golden anniversary of the Wayne
county fair the best ever held and
we predict that it will be tho larg
est ever to have been held in dear
old Wayne.
Secretary E. W. Gammell attend
ed the Greene, N. Y., fair last week
and he says the prospects are very
encouraging for a good line of rac
ing norses. Liberal premiums have
been offered for the winners. J. P.
McMahon, of Susquehanna, will
again bo the starter.
Tho management of the fair have
Increased their premiums on horses,
expecting a largo display of the
equine beauties to be made this fall.
No better horses can be found any
where than In Wayne county and
why should they not be displayed at
the fair? The premium on a fine
match team of horses has been In
creased from $S to $20 and other
horses in proportion. It is right and
proper that tho display of farm
horses be encouraged In this manner.
Every father's eon and the father,
too, for that matter, ought to enter
his fine team or choice horse at the
coming fair.
The Agricultural Society has de
cided to hold an automobile parade
on Thursday, October 3, the last day
of the fair. Two beautiful silver
loving cups will be given as first
prizes. Ono will be awarded to tho
owner for the best trimmed touring
car and another cup for the best
trimmed runabout. Invitations havo
been extended to owners of automo
biles to Join tho parade and keen un
the well earned reputation of Wayne
county for doing things right. Fur
ther information regarding this par
ado will be announced later.
In the meantime make all ar
rangements to attend tho golden an
niversary of the Wayne county fair.
Tho attraction which we will men
tion in our next Issue will bring you,
your family and your entire neigh
borhood. NEW ROAD BEING SURVEYED.

WAY. L. W. Dequino purchased a fine
match team of horses from M. L.
Braman Monday afternoon and start
ed for home at G o'clock.

that the horses had the better of him
endeavored to check them by making
an abrupt turn in front ot the home
of Hon. William H. Dimmick. The

tho ground, but fortunately no
bones were broken. Tho dash board
was broken and the wagon seat dis
lodged. Tho team ran down Ninth
