THE TOWN GOVERNMENT.

II the conclusion is correct, then
the question confronts us all-who
,ball be Chief Burgess, and who shall
be the councilmen p
1t is certainly in order to say that
Bloomsburg requires an efficient mum.
cipal government. The population is
increasing rapidly. In all directions
YOU see streets being opened and
graded, and the side walks laid with
stone or other substantial material.
You see old houses repaired and
modernzed, and you see on all sides
new houses, mostly of brick, being
aected-Billy Ferguson, as he is ia
miliarly called, has had very busy
summer of it, and the end is not yet.
Citizens who do not somewhat ire
quently patrol the town are more sur.
prised than strangers at the certain
signs Of prosperity.
The various industries have not
been checked for a moment. The
hum and whir and noise have been in
ueasing. From the five o'clock whis-
lie at Meals furnace to the seven
o'clock one at the machine shops Of
Harman & Hassert, about every ff.
teen minutes either the woolen mill or
the silk mill or the desk factory or the
furniture company, or the worsted
mill, or the washing machine plant, or
brass and copper works, or some Of
the various busy shops, calls the work
man to his labor; and presently after,
the silver tone OF the Normal School
bell filings the sound waves over the
valley calling hundreds of girls and
boys to their studies and preparation
for an independent life.
All these exist at present, but others
are coming, and between the canal
and the river new industries are being
located, and silent Irondale is showing
signs OF reiuvenation.
In preparation for this large increase
population, the Fair grounds have
been enlarged, the gas and electric
light plants are increasing their facili-
ties the public steam plant has put in
additional boilers, and the water COM
pany Is constructing an additional
reservoir, and laying twelve-inch mains.
This enumeration shows partially,
what has come and is coming, and it
fully justihes the remark that The gov
eminent of the town in all its branch
es, is of great and growing importance
We are all interested. The property
owner and the wage Garner equally
need good, strong, safe, economical
administration but one which at the
same time will push improvements,
and keep up the pace that has sound
yand certainly given us the lead Of
all the towns on both branches of the
Susquehanna.
To stand still is to recede. Let us
give each other the helping hand, the
encouraging word, the stimulating God
speed Let us continue to welcome
the coming, and there will be no part
ing guest. Let us welcome them to
our homes, our churches, our schools,
and make them part of the permanent
population of the Town OF Blooms

caved in in front of J. B. Casey's resi-

off from the main at the corner of
Rock street The men worked until
