One fireman was injured’ and two
small buildings on the farm of Mrs.
Elizabeth Stoll, between here and
Salunga, were destroyed when a
grass field fire spread to a woodshed
on the place yesterday afternoon at
3 o’clock.
The belief was expressed that the
fire was caused by sparks from a
Pennsylvnia Railroad locomotive, as
the land is along the tracks.
After burning over quite an area
of land on the Stoll farm, the fire
ignited a woodshed standing at the
edge of a group of small buildings
near the farmhouse.

town, was passing the place and first
discovered the fire. He immediately

WANTS TAX PAID
BY DISTRIBUTORS
CLARENCE SCHOCK, OF TOWN,
ASKED HOUSE WAYS AND
MEANS COMMITTEE TO RE-
PORT OUT TALBOT BILL
Declaring that when the Legisla-
ture adopted the present system of
gasoline tax collection from retail-
ers it imposed an impossible task,
Mr. Clarence Schock, of this boro,
legislative chairman of the Inde-
pendent Oil Men’s Association, ask-
ed the House Ways and Means
Committee to report out the Tal-
bot bill providing for the collec-
tion of gasoline .tax from distribu-
tors.
Mr. Schock pointed out that
Pennsylvania is the only State
which collects from the retail deal-
er and that passage of the Talbot
bill would mean tax collection from
distributors instead of 25,000 re-,
tailers. The Talbot bill would pro-|
vide collections monthly instead of
quarterly and would result in more
complete returns than at present.
State Treasurer Samuel S. Lewis,
who is interested in the passage of
the Talbot bill, said the bill would
cause collection more expeditiously
and that it would have a tendency
to drive out gasoline bootleggers.
He discussed the work involved in
the present collection system and
pointed out that the advantages in
the Talbot bill. He urged persons
interested to offer amendments to
strengthen the bill and suggested
that if necessary it could be rewrit-
ten.

PARKESBURG MAN TRANS.
FERRED PROPERTY TO HIS
WIFE AFTER COURT
AWARDS
Richard M. Knight, of Landis-

in Chester county courts against
Mr. and Mrs. George Lowery, of
Parkesburg, claiming that after he
obtained damage verdicts against
Lowery in the Lancaster county
courts, Lowery transferred certain
properties to his wife and self
jointly to prevent collection of the
damage claims of Knight.
It appears that about a year
ago, suits were filed against Low-
ery following an automobile acci-
dent, and awards were made in the
Lancaster courts of $1,022.75 to
Knight, $4,500 to: Mrs. Irene
Knight, and $5,500 to Anna
Knight, relatives of the prosecutor
in the newest action.
Knight sues for an injunction re-
straining Mr. and Mrs. Lowery
from further transfer of their
Parkesburg properties, and asks al-
so that the deed by which
transferred property from
name to that of his own
wife jointly be ruled, void.

“Second-class townships of Penn-

are too poor to supply their share
of the money,” Smedley said.
“What the township supervisors
want is not two or three miles of
road of a costly type, but as many
miles as they can get of a road
that will lift them out of the mud,”
Smedley commented in saying that
the roads of costly types are the
