Shakeup Fails
To Materialize
—i0—
County Commissioners Harrison,
Rosser and Conway held another
harmonious meeting Thursday and
showed no trace of the division that
developed at a meeting a week earl-
jer when Harrison presented a resol-
ution, supported by the minority Dem-
ocratic commission, P. J. Conway,
dismissing seven county employees,
mostly Rosser appointees.
Reports that there would be a fur- |
ther shakeup at the succeeding meet-
ings have not been substantiated to
date, which leads to the belief that
the dispute between the warring Re-
publican commissioners has been set-
tled and that the break has been heal-
ed. There are those who hold, how-
ever, that the present armistice is
only until the new judge is appointed.
Following the meeting the three
commissioners were approached
separately and asked if they had
anything to say as to the present sit-
uation. All replied in the negative,
and Mr. Harrison went a step further
been holding conferences with Mr.
Conway.
At the meeting Thursday two bids |
were received and opened for the pur-|
chase of the Kline property on high- |
way route No. 11 at Birch Grove,
which the county was obliged to buy
@ videiing the road. Goeringer & |
the property and Charles Lord of Luz-
erne bid $1,900. The Goeringer &
the sale is approved by the court.

‘Better Police
Protection Can
Be Expected
—:0i—
With the action of the Borough
Council on Wednesday evening, bet-
ter police protection can be expected.
Police protection in the past in re-
gard to the borough cannot be blamed
entirely on our officials or the police.
The borough has been handicapped
due to'lack of funds, but on Wednes-
ed that they would place our local
schedule.
This means that we can expect an
officer on active duty at least eight
hours every day.
The officer’s hours of duty are to
be fixed by the police committee with
the understanding that he be on duty
during the noon hour on days that
school is in session in order to give
protection to the school children in
crossing Main Street in going to and
from school. Also at the conclusion
of the session.
As a suggestion to council. The
borough owns a motorcycle. Why
not make it a duty of our officer to
patrol the town once or twice during
the evening. This patroling would
be a great help to the citizens in gen-
eral besides affording them some pro-
tection.
Under previous arrangements, due
to the few hours that the officer was
on duty, his time was necessary for
our Main Street only.

Appropriation
of $2.500 Granted
for Cow Testing
—0:—
J. D. Hutchison, representing Luz-
erne County Farm Bureau, presented
a petition at Wednesday’s meeting of
the county commissioners asking for
an appropriation of $2,500 to continue
the work of inspecting cows to guard
against tuberculosis. Mr. Hutchison
said three years ago the commission-
ers had appropriated $2,800 for this
purpose and that cows in twenty-
three townships had been inspected
and only 4 per cent. showed traces
of the disease. He asked for the ad-
ditional appropriation to complete the
work in the county.
Commissioners Rosser and Harrison
both expressed the opinion the work
of inspection was necessary to pro-
tect the public, and a resolution mak-
ing the $2,500 appropriation was
adopted without a dissenting vote.
The claim of Marcella Wolancav-
age for $1,000 for damage to her
property at Pine View from the ¢on-
struction of a new road and bridge,
was favorably acted upon and a reso-
lution was adopted to pay her the
amount of her claim.
