This matter should not be neglected for a minute now that we have a street committee appointed and a street commissioner elected.

AGAIN we are called upon to warn the small boys as well as the larger ones to refrain from jumping on and off of moving trains in Patton’ bor ough and to state that if attention is not paid to this notice all parties will be arrested and made an example of. Its a dangerous practice and should be stopped and the proper authorities should not neglect their duty in this important matter THEY SHOULD BE PAINTED, During the past week or two several parties have asked the question as to whether or not should the telephone poles erected in Patton borough be ~ painted, and to enlighten the citizens on the subject we herewith publish section 1 of ordinance no 35, as prepared by the Central District and Printing Telegraph company, and passed by Patton Borough Council November 18, “Ba it enacted by the Burgess and Town Council of the Borough of Pat- ton, in Council sssembled and it ls hereby enacted and ordained by suthority of the same, that permission be, and is heroby graated to the Central © pany, etc., to erect, operate and main- tain its lines upon, over and under such of the public streets and alleys of the ~ Borough of Patton, as its business may require, Provided, that the poles shall be neat, symmetrical and painted, and that no poles shall be less than 25 feet in length.” | © Practically the same ordinance as ~ shove was passed in granting the rights and priveleges to the Central Pennsyl- vania Telephone and S8apply company, which lines extend the entire length of Magee avenue. ~ Josiah Evans, candidate for the nom- ination of County Treasurer on the Republican ticket, was calling on his many friends in Patton Friday.

About 4 o'clock in the morning the stiliness was sud- denly broken by the cry of fire! fire! The cry was taken up and soon from “all parts of the town the people were hurrying to the scene of the conflagra- ‘tion-—the Columbian hotel. This large wooden building was full of guests on this occasion and the fire had gained great headway before the alarm was given. i The inmates of the hotel were quickly ‘aroused and one by one they descended ‘the flights of stairs until they stood among the assembled crowd below. “By the time the last one reached a place | of safety the building was a seething ‘mass of flames.
