ficiently noticed that Mr.. Charles S.

j. c. Bright Says He Disposed of Oil
Plants at BARGAINS

POTTSVILLE. Pa, Jan. ca rumor has
been in circulation that J. c. Bright of this
city. had entered upon a deal by which the
Standard Oil Company would absorb all
the oil plants conducted by him under the

ALEXANDRIA NEWS.

ALEXANDRIA, Jan. Cone OF the recent i'm
provemcnts in the police department instituted by
Mayor Simpson is that each policeman duty
shall go to the nearest telephone and call up
police headquarters once every nodr, day ard
night. He is 10 report anything CT importance
going on in his beat, and is 10 receive sucn in
structCns from Headquarters as may be neccs-
sary IN the perfoi nance OF his duty.
While this arrangement has proved eminently
satisfactory it is claimed that the city should
own its own telephone system for this purpose in
addition to which fire alarm system could be
added and would prove greatly beneficial While
the various merchants appear tot be willing for
the policemen to use their telephones they think
that as the cost would be comparatively small the
city should, without further delay, put in 4
modem system to be used exclusively for the pur-
poses mentioned. The city has never had a
patrol wagon, and this is slid by the police de-
partment to be long felt want. When an ar.
rest is made, be il far lcoIn or near the police
station. il is necessary for rha prisoner to walk
through the streets, and he j. usually followed by
a hooting, yelling crowd of small boys who
make it very disagreeable for the policeman as
well the prisoner. Then, too, when a pri-
soner becomes refractory and refuses TO walk he
has 10 be carried either in q wheelbarrow or a
cab, or wagon has to be hired and the prisoner
hauled to police headquarters The same is the
case when an accident happens and anyone is
seriously hurt. 1t is estimated that the money
spent in this way would more than pay the in
terest on the cost and maintenance of a horse
and patrol wagon. 1t has been suggested also
that the horse could be used for hauling a
street sprinkler, which the merchants claim is
sadly needed.
IF some member of the city council would
get such a measure through that body - said
prominent merchant to The Times reporter yester-
day, he would certainly be doing the city great
service. The old town is ready to go ahead
but it should have improved and upto-date
