DUNMORE.

On Thursday, June 10, the Dunmore
council will make their customary an
nual tour through the borough streets
for the purpose of ascertaining what
progress has been made during the
past year. The benefits derived from
these excursions remain yet to be dis
covered. The Republican members
made a bitter fight against this nom
sense, claiming it to be a useless ex-
penditure of borough money. At ses-
sion of the council held a. few weeks
ago Mr.. Midway (Rep.) condemned the
council in a rather severe manner for
proposing a scheme from which they
only would be the gamers. The street
commissioner was elected for the pur-
pose of keeping in repair the streets,
and he thought that several much
needed improvements could be made
with the money which was thrown
away every year in this manner. Mr..
Midway is evidently a person who
means what he says, and the words
uttered by him at the last council
meeting seemed to have sent a shaft
straight home, judging from the item
published in yesterdays Dunmore coll
umn of the Times. The morning con-
temporaries do not think hard of the
Democratic members of the council,
but they really do wish that Mcssrs.
