Would bea Great Accommodation

The great advantage in the way of
line Car service through the introduction
of motor cars from Twenty fourth
street snd around the Fifteenth street
loop in this city, has given rise to gems
eral desire that the electric service be ex-
tended over the little bridge and island,
and a far as the approach to the Rock
Island bridge across the main channel.
The n ovement in favor of such an i'm
provenent has gone so far it is UNDER
stood, that application has been made
to both Capt, Lyon of the arsenal, and
to Managing Director Louderbsck of the
street Car company, and it is not unlikely
that it will be brought about. OF course
the street railway folks would cheerfully
make he change if the commandant at
the arsenal does net object, as all thai
would be necessary would be the removal
of the cross.over switch from Twenlv>
fourth street over 20 Fort Armstrong aye
nue. anu the putting IN OF the necessary
wires. Then with electric cars at the
Davenport end of the big bridge the same
as here now, and electric cars to the ISL
and approach, horses would be necessary
only in crossing the main bridge, and the
company could in that Way establish
reasonably quick service pending the
time when it gets its electric service run
ming clear through. The public would be
greatly benefited by such move, and
the more they see and get of rapid transit
the more they want of it.

Proceedings of the Pennsylvania Repub-
hoan Convention.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 20.-The state
Republican convention yesterday was a
Blaine gathering by a large majority.
The secretary's name could not be men,
toned by speaker without eliciting
thunders OF applause. The temporary
chairman was Henry Hall, of Mercer and
when he referred to that Republican of
Republicans, that leader of leaders, James
G. Blaine, of Maine" the applause was
deafening. c. H. Magee was made chair
man of the resolutions committee, and
when the convention had taken recess and
reassembled, appeared on the platform
with the declaration of principles.
Synopsis of the Platform.
In all respects the resolutions are
similar to those of any of the Republican
conventions heretofore held-the actions
of the last congress are Endorsed as far as
they went; the administration of Presi-
dent Harrison is approved as broad and
statesmanlike; Wanamaker is compl-
mented; legislation in favor of labor is
advocated, and bimetalism is indorsed
With reference to Blaine, after a fervid
eulogy of the secretary who has exacted
from foreign peoples respect for Amer
lea heretofore unequaled, they say: "These
magnificent achievements justify conf
dence and furnish new occasion for US
now to reaffirm the LOYALTY and devotion
of the Republicans of Pennsylvania to
James G. Blaine"
The Ticket Nominated.
The platform was adopted with a rush
and wild enthusiasm, and the convention
proceeded to nominate a state ticket.
General D. NJ. Gregg was selected for
auditor general and J. W. Morrison for
state treasurer The two gentlemen each
made a short speech of acceptance and
| the con vention adjourned sine die.

Our borough Council have decided
to submit the question of "Water
and Light Tax" to the voters of this
town, at a special election to be held
for this purpose, on Tuesday June 9th
This election, will afford our citizens
an opportunity to direct how the
money they pay in the form of
Borough Taxes" is to be applied;
heretofore it has been the custom, to
levy Borough Tax" of fifteen mills
on the assessed valuation Except last
year, when it was thirteen) 10 mills for
general borough purposes, and five
mills to pay bounded indebtedness,
interest &c. The 10 mills could be
used for any purpose, council saw flt to
appropriate it to, while the adoption of
the "Water and Light Tax" will allow
but 5 mills for general borough pur-
poses, 2 mills for debt and interest, and
8 mills for "Water and Light" thus
appropriating all of the taxes, to a
definite and specific object. While
under this law Council would have the
authority to levy an mill tax, but no
more, thus making the total borough
takes what they have been for many
years, 15 mills, it is the intention of
Council TO levy mill tax for this
purpose, which will afford ample
revenue for some years to come.
Council dare not, under any circum-
stances, use the "Water and Light
Tax" for any other purpose whatever,
than the erection of fire plugs or
hydrants, the maintanence of a fire
department, the purchase of hose, and
for the lighting of our streets. This is
matter that concerns every tax
payer, and especially those who own
their own houses, in that, while our
borough taxes will be lower than they
have been for many years, we will have
ample and effective protection in case
of fire, and our streets well lighted
with electricity. The prompt and
efficient service of the fire boys of our
town, and Mauch Chunk, at the Sny-
der fire, no doubt averted the most
disastrous conhagration this section
ever saw, and it becomes us to prepare
for fire, when there is no fire; there are
a number of places in this town that
are veritable tinder boxes, and if a fire
should ever break out at these points
nothing but good supply of water
and well organized and fully equipped
fire protection, or service, would savC
our town from almost entire annihila
ton. In this measure our councilmeI
have struck the key note of economy
and progress, and it becomes the duty
of every good citizen, who faYors lowe
taxes and protection from fire, to votl
for the Water and Light Tax.
