protection. Peckville was wiped out by
fire, caused by the shutting off of the
water when it was paid for, and many
think that the water company should
have at least granted council the three

money to pay the water rent If the
water company should donate Peckville

MADE GOOD HALF soLEs.
The Fate of Leather Belt on Clty's
Stone Crushef.

AS throwing some light on the mys-
terious disappearance Of the city's
driving belt belonging to the stone
crusher sold recently by councils to
Contractor T. Il. Howe, of Scranton, the
following is reprinted from the Satur-
day Review, Of Sept. 81:
ut is quite possible that the council
men who were worrying SO much about
that stone crusher belt were wearing
some of 1t on their feet. You cannot
understand how they could wear 1t on
their feet? Why, that Is very easy. 1t
was just the thickness of sole leather
and as matter of fact 1t was used
to half sole shoes. 1t was worn down
good and hard and those who tried 1t
say it wore like iron soles. The score
or so of men who walked on this belt
will doubtless smile when they read
these lines. We hope the city will not
call on us to prove who stole the belt,
for that, we should be unable to do.
We understand, however, that the belt
was taken while the crusher stood in
the vicinity OF Reynshanhurst. That
stone crusher has been very much Of a
joke ever since the city purchased 1t
for the paving contractors"
From what can be learned the good
half soles that the belt made are long
since in the land of nowhere. The belt
did the disappearing act while the
crusher was lying along the Honesdale
branch, where 1t did service for a while.
Soon hereafter, newly mended shoes
We're quite common.
The next joke co In the belt mystery
will be the carrying out of the resolu-
tion introduced by Common Councilman
Thompson at last Monday nights meet
ing. The resolution provides for the de-
livery of the stone crusher with the
belt that goes with it, or something to
the same effect.

chosen. The busy man of course wishes
to be within hailing distance of New

train ride is not tedious, That fashion,
able winter resort Lakewood, N, j.,
meets every demand. A ninety minute
journey lands you in Lakewood, where
your most particular whlms are catered
to and the conyeniences afforded are
palatial in every respect. The public
schools are model educational institu-
tions and there are also several private
schools of reputation, The climate at
Lakewood is at least 10 degrees warmer
than New York or Philadelphia. The
roads for those who enjoy driving OF
the auto are exceptional. The pine belt
in which this charming resort is located
is healthful in the extreme, and fol
