News Of the Suburbs.

A. E. Morse made q few remarks and
was followed by Fl. NJ. Streeter, who
made a very entertaining speech. Dur
ing the talk Mr.. Streeter perpetrated a
duo Of amusing Illustrations. He said
that what the West Side lacks Is home
pride. He seconded the sentiment Of
the former speakers that decent ap-
proaches are the prime fault In the
stationary attitude Of the West Side.
Mr.. Streeter was recently elected to
membership in the board and he seems
to promise exceptional effort as MEM
ber. f.. f. RObathan was the next
speaker. The toastmaster introduced
the eX-councilman for talk on poll
tics. The response was devoted to an
expression of faith in the welfare of
the West Side He said that what has
contributed more than any factor to
the success Of Scranton is the effort o:
the Scranton board Of trade.

prides himself upon having been the
first chairman OF the board. His re-
marks showed much confidence in the
work Of the board. After Mr. Jones
the toastmaster called upon William
Blume, the carriage maker. 1t was
mentioned that Mr.. Blume could not be
in sympathy with good roads-they In
terfered with his business. Mr.. Blume
talked at length in q jocular vein. He
told personal "reminiscences and alto
gether gave very entertaining speech.
