They Will be Let by the Borough Council Monday Night, No definite action was taken in let- ting the bids for street paving at the special meeting of the borough council Monday evening, a full board not being present. Those in attendance were Secretary Moore and Councilmen Prin- dible, Nagle, Bailey and Emigh. Bids were received and opened for of Geneva, N.Y., who ing Co., who were the lowest with $10,469.74. The matter will be disposed of at the regular meeting to be held next Monday evening. Nay, Nay Pauline, McCarthy, Punx’y’s utility infielder, has been farmed out to Patton.—Punx- sutawney Spirit. Not on your tin type. McCarthy was not farmed out to Patton. On the contrary he jumped Punx’y and came to Patton because he wanted to play ball in a good town and not with rowdies, and in a team that wins a game once in a while. Moreover, as a ball player, McCarthy is the superior of any one in the Punx’y nine with the possible exception of Garvey. Get the Best Always. It’s the same with paint as with any- thing else.
