THINGS SEEN AND HEARD IN THE TOWN AND VICINITY. Matters of a Local Nature Written Up and Placed Before the Readers of the "Tribune* 4 ly the Saunterer—Something Here May Interest You. It is drawing close to the time when the citizens of the borough will he called upon to select | from among their number a few j competent men to manage the! affairs of the town for another j short period, and there is such I a death-like stillness in borough polities that I have concluded | there is "something in the wind." Just what it is I am j unable to say, but that there j will likely be a revolution of some kind is not improbable. Whether it will be done in the interests of the tax payers, or to subserve the whims and fancies of some little clique, I know not. That a change is coming is not to be doubted, however, if cur rent indications can be relied upon. It is evident that the method by which most offices have been filled heretofore is not looked upon with the admiration it was in years gone by. Every day which Freeland grows older its j requirements demand men for ) officers who are capable of grasp- I ing and maintaining modern ideas. This, 1 believe, the | voters are beginning to realize, and if they will only put party | and personal sympathy to one j side at the coming election, as j go.ssiji indicates will be done, I this scramble of incompetent I men for office, which is so pre j valent every year, will beknock | ed into a three-cocked hat. At previous elections there was always too much eagerness displayed to have "so and so" elected because he was a "good j fellow," or was one of the "old j est residents," or because he [had an "axe to grind" and while the stone was in motion a few of his henchmen could have an edge put upon theirs. There is 110 more of this to be tolerated, so it is said, and if the citizens of the town who are working so industriously to build it up will not aid in electing good officials they have a fruitless task upon their hands. Nothing is more essential to a town of Freeland's size than economic government. The coming summer is likely to be a very important one in the town's history and for various reasons the citizens should be careful into whose hands they place the reins of government. If the an nexation of theoutlying districts becomes a reality, together with the electric light plant, electric railway, public park impi-ove ment, better location for the iire department and numerous other matters are to be attended to, I hope to see men iu office who ! will get ten cents worth for every ; dime of the taxpayers' money j that is spent for any purpose. Conditions now are no worse than thoy have been in the past years, but the rapid growth of the town is such, and the many improvements that are in view for this year de mand that. men of business qualifications snould handle its affairs and not men who are indifferent to everything ex cept that which gives promin ence to themselves. It will require a great effort to alter past ways to what the present requires, but in the end it must come and the silence now no ticeable in politics may have | something to do with fore j shadowing the change. T ■ I in previous years when both parties placed their tickets 1 before the voters, did any of my readers over look them over and notice what a contrast some men are to the offices to which they aspired? In fact it is amusing to notice to what extent some men's ambition have gone in the wrong direc tion. Of course, party politics had much to do with this, but j the same should have no place J in municiple affairs, because it { often puts incapable men into j effice who would be in the right place if they were outside look ing in. To teach men of this kind where their proper place is can only be done by indepen dent voting and I expect consi derable of that kind will take i place at the coming election. Talking to several owners of property in the Points lately I learn that many of (hem are not I any too well pleased with the ! progress of the movement to bring thai portion into the bor ough. None ol' tiie people T have spoken to could tell what is causing the delay, if there is a delay, and I am not sufficiently informed on the matter either to state positively that its pace could be quickened. Neverthe less, to all appearances, the move ment is making but little head way, and it is reasonable to pre sume that the parts asking to be annexed could be in the bor ough now if the petition for that purpose had not slipj>ed a cog or two since it was presented at Willces-Barre. That certain interests in the Points will be benefitted by a few months delay is apparent to all. The saloon men, for in stance, are satisfied to come in, but, naturally, they do not feel like paying double the amount of license money if there is a way out of it. ft is but human to take care of one's own inter ests first, and the opposition the majority of the saloon men have given is no more than might have been expected. Then comes the Foster Democratic politicians. All through the township the sentiment has been to keep the Points in that district until after the coming election. It is to the interest of a great many that it should be j done, consequently if they j devote some of their time and j labor to accomplish this, who can criticise them? Whether or not these inter j ested parties have done any | tiling to check the movement until after election is question j able, but the advocates of an -1 nexation appear to think some obstacle was thrown in its way. [ Men in the Points who worked j very hard to stait the movement I and gave their money to push it ! claim that they will be in a more pitiable plight this coming year if they come in than if they were to stay out. After the assessment in the township is made the taxes and any other revenue of the Points and Bir vanton will go to the township, it is said, and the people living in the territory that may be an nexed will find themselves left out in the cold and will receive no support from either township j or borough. I It is reasonable to suppose ■ that, if they do not come in until after they give their taxes and license money to Foster township, they will not expect j I lie borough to spend anything on them for one whole year. To be just to its own present taxpayers the borough could not afford to appropriate a cent ill 1894 for sewers, light, street repairs, etc., in the Points or Birvanton, andsince the annexa tionists are beginning to realize that this might lie done they feel indignant toward those who have checked the scheme by placing self-interests before the welfare of all. People not interested in the result find it amusing to follow the ups and downs of the an nexation question, and those in the borough who did sympathize with the efforts of the annexa tionists have seen so many queer turns made that they have lost all interest in the matter, and the position now held by the people here is one of indiffer ence. It does not cost a thought to any but a very few whether the limits are ever extended or not, and I have heard more than one person remark that the bor ough would be better off by not increasing its area. My opinion is that, although the borough vvould derive very little benefit financially through the success of the movement, it would be of great advantage to the town as a whole, and to further the inter ests of the town ought to be the main object and let private in terests take a back seat for a while.
