SPECIAL MEETING
OF BORO COUNCIL
TOOK ACTION ON SEWER PRO-
POSITION OF CREAMERY CO.
—WILL NOT ENLARGE THE
POST OFFICE BUILDING
Mount Joy Boro Council met in
special session Monday night for the
transaction of such business 2s
needs the attention at this time.
Messrs. J. L. Murphy, S. H. Miller,
Jos. Witmer, Harvey Hawthorne,
and H. B. Arntz were present.
Chairman Murphy asked for a
report on the sewer proposition.
The new creamery company, thru
Mr. H. S. Newcomer, proposed lay-
ing sewer pipe in a present open
sewer, from Old Market street and
along Manheim street and the Man-
sdf heim road to Little Chickies creek,
the company to pay half the ex-
pense if the boro paid the other
half.
Mr. Miller, of the Street commit-
tee, reported that it would require
approximately 1,800 feet of pipe
and that the expense would be
about™one dollar per foot. Howev-
er, he said that only about 750 feet
of said sewer is in the boro and that
he did not favor laying sewer pipe
in the township at the boro’s ex-
pense. All the other councilman
were of the same opinion.
The Street committee was in-
J structed to see representatives of
the creamery and agree to pay half
the expense of laying sewer pipe to
the boro line.

TOBACCO BRINGS
19 CENTS THRU
OTHER CROPS SELL FOR 20 AND
6 OVER AROUND EPHRA-
TA—DEALERS ARE IN-
SPECTING AROUND
HERE
Although they are not buying,
ncither are they making offers, but
just the same there is considerable
a uvity among the tobacco dealers
thruout this section. Especially is
this true since the recent rains.
They are interested in knowing just
how the crop is developing and ma-
turing.
The rain did not help the early
crops but it has made a wonderful
difference on the later ones. A
week's growth made marked chang-
es on many of the crops thruout
this locality.
More buying of the present to-
bacco crop, much of it green in the
field and still unharvested took
place last week when additional
sales were made by northern county
farmers. A new buyer for this year
an independent packer, other than
the firm which picked up a number
of crops in late August, is respon-
sible for the recent activity.
Former prices of 20 and six
cents for leaf to be assorted were
equalled and the previous high of
17 cents through for crops sold on
a flat price basis some weeks ago,
was surpassed when Monroe G.
Hernley, of Ephrata, R. 2, recently
sold a three-acre crop for 19 cents
“around.”
George Zartman Ephrata, R. 2,
sold his nine-acre crop on Wednes-
day for 16 cents through to the
same buyer and John Zartman, al-
so of the Lincoln vicinity, is report-
ed to have accepted the 16 cent
price.
John Frantz, Ephrata, R. sold
six acres for 20 and six cents this
week under the agreement that the
leaf need not be sized and all but
a few of the lower filler leaves is to
go into the wrapper grade.
A neighbor, John Zimmerman, is
said to have sold six acres at the
same price and conditions.

TICKET FOR BURGESS—VOTE
HERE WAS VERY LIGHT
YESTERDAY
Practically no contests, not evem
candidates for many offices, accoun-
ted for the little interest in yester=
day's primary here in town. There
are 791 voters in the East Ward
and over 800 in the West Ward.
Only 119 voters voted in the West
Ward and less than that number, § #7
the East Ward. *
The only contest on our tick 3
was between E. B. Toppin and Dr
W. D. Chandler for Burgess. Even
these candidates themselves were
not very active. Dr. Chandler was
nominated. He lost the East Ward |
by two votes but carried his own
ward (which is also Mr. Teppin’s
ward) by a majority of 24. 3
There were two errors on the
ballots supplied for our bore. In
the East Ward there was but one
candidate for Council and the ballot
specified “vote for one,” when there
were two to be elected.
The same was true in the West
Ward. The ballots had only the
name of one Councilman when
there were two to be elected.
