cnMMENnARLE ACTION.

Chester has a councilmanic scandal
and City Councils are determined to
probe it to the bottom. Seven mem
bers are accused Of having taken bribes
in connection with city contracts for
paving material of a specific kind.
We are pleased to note that the leg
islative body OF our neighboring city
is determined to investigate the mat
ter. Such action, promptly taken, be-
speaks healthy public sentiment. The
allegations made against the seven
members may be wholly without war
rant, but It becomes both them and
their colleagues who are not accused to
clear the matter up and satisfy the
public mind. Were Councils to ignore
the charges or try to cover up corrup-
tion public distrust would follow and
official rascality would be encouraged
