Citizens of Worth Street Appeal to Council to
Help them Secure an Extension of Water Line
Claim the Company Refused to
Lay Pipes on Account of
New Ordinance.
CITE FRANCHISE OBLIGATIONS
j At the meeting of the Reynoldsville
I town council Tuesday night Id the
j office of City Solicitor C. W. Flynn a
( question came up which may lead to
a breach between the council and
t' the local water company If the facts ara
as stated by a committee of citizens.
Tha lMmml4(aa MnMiant nff fha
. citizens of upper Worth street, appear
ed before council and stated that a
request had been made to the Reyn
oldsvllle Water Company to extend the
water lines up that street for the benefit
r of residents and that the water com-
' count or toe boroucti bavins' tmsepd an
ordinance requiring all persons, includ
ing the water company, to take out a
permit to tear up the streets and after
wards restore them In as good condition
as before, it was -not the Intention of the
water company to lay any new lines.
. The citizens' committee appealed to the
council to come to their assistance and
help them secure water. -
The ordinance referred to Is No. 138
and was passed by council last March
after long debate. Its provisions are
stringent, but experience had Bhown
the Impossibility of keeping the local
streets In good repair without strict
regulations covering both digging and
refilling excavations. Among other
things the ordinance prohibits digging
up the street without a permit signed
by a majority of the street committee;
gives to the street committee of
'town council absolute power to prescribe
Ithe materials for refilling trenches
iai the manner of such refilling; makes
ke party excavating and refilling re-1
pnslble for any defects which may
lome apparent within two years; and
holds the party excavating liable for all
damage whloh may reeult by reason of
, suoh digging or from neglect to take
proper precautions to prevent Injury to
persons or property.
While these regulations will no doubt
" the citizens maintain that the franchise
makes it obligatory to furnish water to
all parts of the borough where it is
demanded as a public necessity and anv
v refusal to serve the publlo by extending
pipe lines where needed is an infraction
X)f Its franchise covenants and they
- abIc the council to take steps to compel
the company to give the people the
service its franchise guarantees them.
- Council did not take final action in
the matter but instructed the solicitor
to confer wl(h the water company and
secure the extension desired by the
vlliltBUB 11 posiote.

Bible Class Is
One of Largest
In the State
Under Leadership oi Rev. J. F
Black the Membership Has
Steadily .Grown.
ALMOST UNDENOMINATIONAL
The largest bible class for men In tbe
county, and one of the largest In the
state, meets every Sunday morning In
the First Methodist Episeopal church
in Reynoldsville. The growth o( this
class during the past year and the
interest maintained are remarkable.
On tbe roll are men of all denomina
tions and of much more Importance
many men of no church preference;
men who never before have been in
terested in religious matters and who
could not be reached through the
ordinary channels of the church. But
this class has In it a peculiar charm for
men. Without any special evangelistic
effort It has drawn and held Sunday
after Sunday men of the most varied
character and widest divergence of
opinions.
The class cow numbers, one hundred
and twenty-five members and Is well
organized. Dr. L. L. Means is presi
dent, John H. Ewlng secretary and
treasurer, and the executive committee
consists of these officers and six other
members, Chas. B. Elsenbutb, George
Harris, M. G. Swartz, Jas. G. Gillespie,
Clyde C. Murray and Thomas Justbam.
The olass Is now beginning to realize Its
real Importance and its potential power
as an agent for good. Cards are being;
printed designed to keep members
constantly in touch with tbe organization,-
and placards will shortly be posted
In all tbe hotel lobbies inviting
strangers in the town to spend an hour
in tbe class Sunday morning.
One great reason for the exceptional
growth of this olass is tbe popularity of
its leader, Rev. John F. Black. He
teaches tbe lesson from the standpoint
of eyery day life and it appeals power
fully to tbe business men and laborers
who compose tbe membership, men
who are busy six days in tbe week with
the practical affairs of life and have
little time for mystical speculation.
Tbe problems considered there are the
knotty ones of common life and some
surprising discussions baye resulted
from the varying beliefs of the
members. "It Is the shortest and beat
hour In tbe whole wees;," is a common
remark by Its enthusiastic members,
Rev. Black has done many good
things since he came to Reynoldsville,
but it is questlonab'e if anything ac
complished will have more lasting effect
than the work which is now being done
among the men of town through the
medium of this olass.
