INSTRUCT YOUR cOUNcILMEN.
A Plain Duty stands Before Every
Progressive Resident.

Three much needed improvements are
being provided for in city councils.
the pavement of South Main street and
Eighth avenue; North Church street
and sixth avenue and Park plaCc-ani
every progressive resident of this city
ought to instruct his representative on
the local body of law makers 20 vote
for them. There are a few kickers, as
is the case with every public improve
ment undertaken. Hard times is the
lever used against the work Not that
those involved i'm the assessments are
oppressed, but because hard times con-
stitute a forceful appeal.
No one will he burdcncd by these i'm
provenlents. In the first place the city
at large and the Traction company set
tie for the lions share. Property own
ers will be given ten years in which 10
pay their assessments. In view ot
these facts the principal objection
ought to lose all its weight.
The projects mentioned go hand in
hand and the failure of one will jeopar-
dize the success Of the other two The
greatest howl comes from Eighth ave-
nue. where the improvement is needed
most. The city laid ont more than
$4,000 in constructing a handsome
bridge at that point. y few feet OF
pavement wa connect it with Main
street and as soon as that is laid the
residents between the river and the gas
house will improve their portion of the
street and make it one of the finest
thoruuchfares in the city.
The city fathers cannot afford to take
n backward step in this matter. Ihe
Councilmen who hold out and do the
right thing will be praised by the OBJ
struCtiOnists IN less than year after
the completion of the job. History is
certain to repeat itself.
The city's share of the Sixth avenue
and Park place pave viii be nearly
81 900 ard that win make it very easy
for the property owners. The North
church street ordinance is understood
to be looked upon with unanimous
favor.

SUPT. FLYNN'S GOOD WORK.
Traction Company Transports Inn
mcnsc Throng, Without Delays.

One of the hardest working men in
the city circus day was Superintendent
Flynn, of the Traction company. An
immense throng was transported to
Anthracite park and return and it was
handled without the annoying delays
common to the early history Of the
road.
The superintendent, with his horse
and carriage, was rushing back and
forth through the city all day and un-
til late at night directing the move
ments of cars. He hapuoned to be
right on hand when the unfortunate
little Smith girl ran under the car on
Eighth avenue and he carried her in
his arms and galloped his horse to the
doctors Office, giving her medical aid
in the shortest possible space of time
