Other candidates for various offices | designated, and make report thereof to History Of Dallas (Continued From Last Week) separate township set apart to them, like some of their first efforts at get- | ing roads opened, were of little avail. Some of the early petitions for roads, etc., for that country were stuck away in the files by malicious or irrespon- sible clerks, and were never allowed to appear again where action of the ciurt could be taken on them. In one instance a clerk, wishing to emphasize his villainy, wrote some trifling words of disapproval on the petition, clearly indicating that it should never see light again, and it never did. No action if court was ever taken, and no record of it was ever made. The first petition for the new town- ship fared a little better, but not much. It was filed at October sessions, 1814. The petetion was signed by Nehemiah Ide, Joseph Worthington and others, inhabitants of Plymouth and Kingston townships, setting forth cogent reasons for their demands, and asked for prac- tically the same boundaries given in the subsequent petition, and which was finally granted. Oliver Pettebone, Charles Chapman and Josiah Lewis ere appointed viewers on the first an. and that to have been the last of it. There is no record of anything’ having ever been done by the viewers. After a year and a half patient waiting, another petition was prepared and nuemrously signed. It was presented at April ses- sions, 1816, and Judge Gibson, who was then on the bench, appointed Anderson Dana, ‘David Richard and Phineas Wal- ler as viewers, with the order to “view and, any two agreeing that said town-- ship is necessary, shall proceed to lay out the same, designating the lines by natural lines or boundaries, if the same can be so designated, and make report thereon to the next court of quarter sessions” (August). Order issued May 4th, 1816. At August sessions following (5th August), the report not being ready, the order was continued, viewers to report at next (November) sessions. In September, 1816, the viewers filed their repirt, but on 5th November, 1816, it was referred back to them again to make a plot or draft as well of the new township laid as of the township out the report thereon at next Court of of which it was taken, and to 'make Quarter Sessions (January 1817). This work was completed on 5th December, 1816, and at January sessions, 1817, the report was filed and confirmed nisi. . At April sessions, 1817, which began on the first Monday of that month, with Hon. Thomas Burnside, President Judge and Jesse fell, assistant judge, on the bench, the following order was made in relation to that report, viz: “The court confirms the division, and in testimony of the respect which the court entertains for the late Alexander James Dallas, call the new township ‘Dallas’. On the 10th day of April, 1817, the court order and direct “that Isaac Ful- ler be appointed constable for the new township of Dallas, and further direct a rule to issue, returnable forthwith, to be served by the sheriff on said Isaac Fuller to appear show cause, if any there be, why he will not perform the office of constable for the ensuing year.” Rule issued whereupon on the 5th of August, 1817, the said Isaac Fuller,, be- ing’ in court, accepted the appointment, whereupon he was sworn according to law.” William Fuller and Peter Worthing- ton were appointed suppervisors at the same court for the first year. Growth and Changes of the New Town- ship of Dallas The new township grew and pros- pered with great rapidity, both in wealth and population. Starting with seventy-three taxables in 1818, the number was increased next year, 1919, to eighty-eight. Among the new tax- ables of this year (1919) were Jared R. Baldwin, Abram S. Honeywell, Oliver Ide( Joseph Mears, Joseph Mears, Jr, and William Orr, all single freemen.” 1820. In the year 1820 the number of taxable inhabitants had increased to 101. Among’ them appears for the first time the name of Peter B. Roushey, assessed as ‘‘Taylor.” A'mong the improvements this year must be noted the laying out of the great road "from Wilkes-Barre to Bradford county line near Mehoonany Creek. This road is the one in use at present (with a [few slight changes in Kingston borough) from Wilkes-Barre bridge, up Toby’s Creek, etc. Most of the way it was laid out on the line of the “Old State Road,” which had been laid out vears before, but not opened. The viewers whe laid out this road were Joseph Slocum, George Cahoon, Sam- uel Thomas, Joseph Tuttle and John Bennett. This road was a very impor- tant ¥mprovement, and to open it cost many years of hard work and large expenditures of’ money on the part of the citizens of Dallas township. It is interesting’ to show the scarcity of other roads then existing to intersect it, as wel as the paucity of buildings rand improvements along its line. Hardly had the organization of the new township been. completed before dissatisfaction appeared in the south- western corner, and at August ses=- sions, 1920, a petition -was filed in be- half of inhabitants of Huntington, Union and Dallas townships, setting forth that whereas the line between the counties of Luzerne and Lycoming appears never to have been run, and in consequence of that circumstance and other causes, the line of the town- | ships of Huntington, Uniin and Dallas | havé been incorrectly laid out and run, | and marked erroneously upon the ground, asking for viewers to be so appointed to view and correct these errors. Whereupon the court appointed | Jacob I. Bogardus, Esq., (of Dallas), Shadrack Austin (of Union), and John Coons (of Huntington to view said townships proposed to be altered, | who, or any two of them agreeing,| shall make wa draft or plot of said townships proposed to be made and | designating the same by natural | boundaries if the same can be so the next Court of Quarter Sessions, township, were: Charles Lewis, Jos Schooley, Ward Seigel, John Thomas, Frank Mathers, Stanley Davis and George Shaver. etc. (Continued Next Week) As previously stated, the first efforts | For Tax Collector of Dallas Township an the part of the citizens to get a VOTE WESLEY S.

You will like the way the adjustable apron shakes the potatoes free of vines, dirt, and stones. The ease of gathering the clean, trash-free rows of potatoes , will surprise you.
