iUB IS t'TIVK ABILITY.
Shortly aft,. r ji- resignation from the
Erie in 1894 Y . Waller undertook the
management o the Ooxo Interests, and
his adtninistri on there has been so
successful as t attract general atten
tion. In conn Hon with tiie manage
ment of their -oal estate ho has also
operated the 1 la ware, Susquehanna,
and Schiiyjkii Railroad, which has
trackage rlgliti iv.r the Lehigh Valley
Railroad. It U understood tliat when
the New Y ik, ,ul:e Erie and Western
Railroad wn- t organized In 1895 Mr.
Walter was off it ><| a vice presidency in
that compan this position he de
clined.
The two r directors, Messrs.
Stotesbury and i ister, lire both members
of the hanking irsm of Drexel & Co.,
of Philadelphi: and J. P. Morgan &
Co., New York, nd their entry into the
board Is indicat , j[ the elements which
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JULY 15, 1897.
have acquired control of the property.
It was stated yesterday to a Philadel
phia Record, reportor by a director
of the Lehigh Valley that President
Walter would, for the present at least,
continue in the presidency of the Dela
ware, Susquehanna and Schuylkill Kail
road. When questioned as to the prob-
TKAPPIC ARRANGEMENTS UNALTERED,
able effect on the present trallle arrange
ment between that road and the Lehigh
Valley of his election to the presidency
of the latter company, he said there
would be none whatever, at least none
that would be detrimental to the Lehigh
Valley.
What the policy of the reorganized
management will be lias not yet been
announced, but it is very probable that
the first important step taken will be to
cut down operating expenses and bring
them somewhat near a level with those
of other prominent Eastern roads. For
several years past the operating expenses
have amounted to nearly 77 per cent of
the gross earnings. Well posted 'rail
road men say that in view of the excel
lent physical condition of the road this
could be cut down at least 10 per cent.
This would bring it down to about the
basis upon which the Heading was
operated last year.
Mr. Walter, the newly-elected presi
dent, declined to be interviewed on his
future policy, and immediately after the
adjournment of the board of directors
left for Drifton.
Many Improvements Ordered.
The borough council met on Monday
evening to hear reports of committees
and take action on the same. Dr. E.W.
flutter reported that lit! had procured
four locks, with six keys each, for the
cells, and had ordered one large lock,
with twelve keys each, for the outside
door. It was decided that the burgess,
chief of police! and janitor get one key
each, and that tho rest be distributed
at the next meeting of council.
The committee which waited on Mr.
Iless, of the Lehigh Traction Company,
relative to the injury done to the stone
crusher, reported that Mr. Iless agreed
to pay all charges for the repair of the
machine. The committee was authoriz
ed to have it repaired and send the bill
to the Traction Company.
Tho committee appointed in reference
to the fee for license of the Grand opera
house stated that Solicitor Carr held
that council could not alter the fee
charged, but could deduct the $1 paid
for police service, provided the manage
ment dispenses with paid police service.
The secretary reported that he had
ordered pipe for the extension of the
sewer to tho silk mill.
A profile of Ilirkbeck street, from
Front to Johnson, as surveyed by Mr.
Salmon, for the purpose of laying side
walks, was presented. After ascertain
ing that the required width of thirty
feet, with six-foot sidewalks on each
side, could not be obtained under tho
present condition of the street, the
street committee, together witli the bor
ough solicitor, were instructed to view
the ground, and if necessary the solici
tor is to look up the records us to the
width of the street.
Tho question of grading and laying
out Walnut stroot, west from Laurel,
was taken up, and the street committee
was instructed to procure a competent
surveyor to do the work, in case Mr.
Kealy is unable to give it his attention.
It was agreed that all streets running
north and south from the old borough
line to North street be thirty feet wide
and tht! extra space left for sidewalks
on eacli side.
The matter reported by the commit
tee on the removal of arc lights was left
to the light committee, witli power to
confer with tho Electric Light Company
with a view to tho introduction of incan
descent lights on some of tho streets.
Council agreed to have a survey made
west along Carbon street from alley to
llidge, to connect with a private drain,
also to have grade given on Carbon
street, and to have man-holes placed at
the northwest corner of Carbon and
Contre streets and South and Washing
ton streets. It was also decided to tear
up the flag-stones at Centre and Carbon
streets and replace them with a regular
crossing. Tho gutters intersecting
Washington and Carbou streets are to
be paved.
The Water Company was authorized
to place a new lire plug at Alvlnton.
Also to have the one on ilirkbeck street
removed and one with two connections
placed there. This gave riso to the
question of lire protection at Kirvanton,
and the street committc was instructed
to wait on the Water Company and have
a plug placed on Walnut street, west of
the old borough line, and if it should
prove satisfactory to tho Fire Company,
and reported so by them to council, that
council will accept It.
It was agreed that a light bo placed at.
the entrance to tho lock-up. It was d -
elded to grade Johnson street from Fine
to Ilirkbeck, and have a six-foot side
walk placed on the north side.
The street committee and tho solicitor
have since met and gone over Ilirkbeck
street and had a talk with several of tlip
property owner* in regard to width of
tiie street. The committee will re com*
mend that the stroot be opened thirty
feet and six feet allowed for sidewalks.

School Director* Have I'tMvern.
Judge Woodward handed down an
opinion on Friday dissolving an injunc
tion against the school directors of Marcy
township. The directors had let a con
tract, for the construction of a six-room
school building, together with heating
apparatus, etc., aggregating in total cost
al out #15,000. Tho citizens alleged that
this indebtedness, together with what
had already been contracted would carry
t.lie district in debt morn than the consti
tutional limit of 2 per cent. Hence the
bill was tiled and an injunction granted
restraining the directors from further
proceeding with tho work. Tho judge,
in his opinion, sets out that school direc
tors have very large discretionary powers
and that the court did not feel disposed
to interfere with them in tho exorcise of
their discretion, lie further found the
testimony did not warrant the bringing
of the bill and hence it was dismissed.
