To Ask P. S. C.
For Action On
Water Problem
os
Taxpayers’ Association Will
Carry Campaign To
Harrisburg
Formal complaints against the
quantity and quality of water sup-
plied homes in Dallas will be presen-
ted to Public Service Commission at
Harrisburg within the next few weeks
by Dallas Borough Taxpayers’ Asso-
ciation, it was announced this week.
A resolution authorizing the petition
to the Commission was adopted at a
meeting of the association in the bor-
ough high school auditorium on Mon-
day night. A similar resolution was
adopted asking for action by Dallas
Borough Council.
Attorney Bert Lewis of Dallas has
been appointed to prepare the petition.
A committee, headed by Vincent A.
Shindel, will carry out the plans to
lodge the formal complaint.
Attorney Lewis conferred this week
with a member of the Public Service
Commission with reference to the
manner in which the complaint must
be made and has already made re-
quest for the forms to be followed in
preparing the petition.
The communication to the Commis-
sion will be prepared according to
standard forms and will request a
hearing and investigation, it is ex-
pected. Members of the group ware
confident their move will bring quick
and definite results.
The petition will embody criticisms
of an alleged insufficient’ and impure
water supply.
The meeting on Monday night was
addressed by L. D. Matter, district
engineer of the State Department of
Health, Mr. Matter discussed the na-
tural water resources of this region,
the requirements of the town and
suggested several ways to satisfy the
demand for adequate water = supply.
His discussion was impartial and
though he gave interesting statistics
concerning the efficiency of municipal
waterworks in communities where
such units are not made political foot-
balls his address was by no means an
indorsement of such plants. He did
stress that the construction of water-
works throughout the country is giv-
en major consideration in the Nation-
al Recovery Program of unemploy-
ment relief.

SCHOOL COST
The average annual cost per pupil
in the public schools of Pennsylvania
dropped slightly more than one dollar
in 1931 to 1932, according to the most
recently available figures announced
by the Department of Public Instruc-
tion. In 1931 the average cost per
pupil for current expenses was $86.84
for all classes of school district, and in
1932 it was $85.73. The Pennsylvan-
ia average cost usually is from one
to five dollars a year less than the
average for the United States.

Thrills And Interest Crowd
Program For Bloomsburg Fair
A feature from the time it was
started seven years ago, the school ex-
hibit of the Bloomsburg fair, which
opens next Tuesday, this year pro-
mises to be the finest in history. Ex-
pectations are that it will include
more than 10,000 individual exhibits,
a great portion of those being pro-
ducts grown and selected by young
people in their agricultural projects.
Twenty booths, each developing a
single project, will add to the interest
of a feature that yearly has attracted
thousands each day of the fair.
Competition among the school chil-
dren if keen with school children
from a half dozen counties in this
section competing for honors while vo-
cational schools in Columbia, Montour,
Northumberland, Lycoming and ‘Sulli-
van counties will participate in the
events for schools of that class.
Inquiries received thus far indicate
that the participation of young people
from throughout this part of the State
in the event will reach a new high at
this year’s exhibit. In order to en-
courage youths to participate, the fair
association has created special classes
for youthful owners of splendid cattle
an dhogs and thé youngsters may also
enter their stocl in competition with
adults, }
Twenty thousand children are ex-
pected to attend the fair on Tuesday,
September 26th, as guests of the as-
sociation. The International Congress

pupils. He outlined the school poli-

wished to see him regarding school
matters, would feel free to come to
the school at any time. The most

venient to them.

Two Nominations In
Borough
PRATER WINS TWO
In the warmest political contests
jwaged in this section for many years,
(record votes were polled in all local
districts at the primary election on
Tuesday. Fair weather and sunny
skies belied the stormy contests wag-
ed by candidates for borough and
township offices. Voters were at the
polls waiting long before many of the
election boards were ready for the
voting to start and crowds of parti-
isan and independent voters thronged
|into the voting places all day long.
{Even after the polls were supposed
jto close belated citizens getting home
| from their work in Wyoming Valley
(squeezed their way into stuffy wvot-
ing places to cast a vote for their
| favorite candidate.
| Despite the intense rivalry and
{ factionalism of the voters there was
‘no disorder. Both Kingston township
land Dallas township were favored
| with two voting machines in some of
| their districts, while in Dallas bor=
ough one machine had to suffice in
jeach of the districts. The one in the
North district of Dallas borough jams=
med early during the morning rush,
‘delaying the voting for at least half
lan hour. Citizens who had to reach
Itheir work in Wyoming Valley on
| schedule left without voting hoping
to do so on their return from the
valley in the evening.

(was the victory of J. H. Anderson,
who not only took the Republican
'and Democratic nominations for bur=
lgess over G. Harold Wagner, but also
won two party nominations for jus-
{tice-of-the-peace in a bitter. contest
| with Ira D. Cooke. There were indi=
cations this week that Mr. Anderson
| may be opposed by an independent
(party candidate at the general elec=
tion.
Other two-nomination candidates in
November will be Harry Garrahan
land Wesley Himmler who received the
jindorsement of the two major parties
|for the councilmanic positions. Peter
yD. Clark won the third Republican
[nomination - for council and James
Franklin, veteran councilman nosed
lout Charles A. Stookey for the Demo~
|eratic nomination by a margin of
lonly three votes. Clark 'S. Hilde~
|brandt, another veteran councilman
(went down to defeat.
| In the school director contests, Hen-
ry J. Disque and Harry Pittman won
both nominations. John Durbin, pre-
sent incumbent, was defeated.
In a hotly contested fight for tax
collector, Arthur Dungey secured the
Republican nomination by a margin
of twenty votes over M. B. Coolbaugh.
Mr. Coolbaugh secured the Democratic
nomination with a margin of six vot-
es over Dungey. Fred M. Gordon,
