JERr1YN ~
AND
MAYFIELD

The action of the Jermyn council on
Friday evening last in relation to bi-
cycle riding on the sidewalks, speeding
horses within the borough limits; the
preventing of Instructions on the
streets, playing ball on Sunday, and
numerous other offenses, is very COM
mendable.
1t is not an unusual sight to see BIZ
cyclists speeding on our walks, forcing
pedestrians to step out in the gutter,
and fast driving is a very familiar
sight. Another great nuisance is plac-
ing distractions in the street 1t does
not denote very prosperous borough,
when people throw ashes, sticks, tin
cans, etc. on the thoroughfare, and
Jermyn citizens are too wide awake,
and energetic to allow such a thing
for very long. The greatest annoy
ance is in playing ball on Sunday. In
the base ball season this is a weekly
occurrence. The advance which this
town is making isnoticeable.
