FREELAND 'TRIBUNE. VOL. VII. NO. 65. FROM CORRESPONDENTS. K LETTERS THAT CONTAIN A VARIED ASSORTMENT OF NEWS. Another Correspondent Mliken Some Per tinent Suggestions on the New School Ituildlng OucHtion— Eckley, Highland and Upper Leliigh News-Letters. Regular corrcspondcnco from the sur rounding towns and communications upon local or general subjects are soli cited by the TRIBUNE. The name of the writer must accompany all letters or Items se borrowed at present for school purposes. What kind of a school ho use does the school hoard now intend to erect? Is it a brick or a frame building? Nobody seems to know. Originally it was an eight-room brick building which would scarcely furnish school accommodation for immedidate V pressing demands, if the school board * could not erect a building largo enough for the probable demands four or live years hence at $22,000, how can It build a brick building large enough for pres ent need for less than half that sum? If they are not to erect a commodious brick structure, but a frame building they might just as well enlarge and im prove what they now have. I f they do tiiat, they do not need the sanction of the electors for an increase of debt, as the 3 per cent limit will furnish suffi cient funds for that purpose. The present time is a little inoppor tune. The people of Freeland are a lit tle cautious just now. A year ago we voted for an increase of taxation for street lighting purposes. In less than a year's time the cost has reached the ex travavant liguro of $225 per month, or $2,700 for tlie year for lighting our streets alone. From present indications we will bo called upon for more taxes to erect a palatial court-house and jail in 4 our ambitious and rapacious neighbor ing city of I Littleton, if the notorious Quay county scheme succeeds. Whether we turn to the right, or turn to the left, the same omnious sound of a cormorant tax gatherer is heard. Throughout our land, throughout our region nothing hut despair, struggle and starvation is heard. Misery and pover ty are facingour industrious inhabitants in the face, whichever way they may turn, without being able to help them selves. Is this a proper time to increase taxation and add to the burdens of our frugal people? In a few years time It might be more favorable, and if our present growth continues we might be able to manage a palatial schoolhouse commensurate with our needs and ambition. FREELAND. ECKLEY TOPICS. Eckley people are very much disap pointed at the Freeland council in doing away with that part of the ordinance which would compel the Traction Com pany to extend their tracks to this town. Wo waited over a year for the council to give us this road, and when the news came yesterday of the result several wore heard to say they will buy in I !u-/.leton after this. The merchants of of Freeland would lind it of more bene fit to them if they had taken more pains to have that part kept in the laws, than to bo in such a hurry to have the road run further up the town. The advan tages to Freeland in having the road running in here should have been given some consideration by the council. Eck loy's population depends largely on Frco . land for its supplies, and this with the trade of llazle Brook and Buck Moun tain, which travels through here, would put manv hundreds of dollars Into the coffers of the Freeland business houses, provided there were means of easy ac cess to and from the town. As it is the people of Eckley llnd It is not so easy to wali, to Freeland as it i- walk to Jed do, and by going to Joddo tliey can take the trolley car to liazleton for the same fare that It costs to go to Freeland. This a great many people are doing at , present and will do for the future, un til some inducement is given them to do otherwise. The contest for the gold watch, for the benefit of the Immaculate Concep tion church, which Is being carried on between Misses Rose Gillespie, of Buck ' Mountain.
