INDIGNATION MEHTJ ING
MAY RE suit

The Standard Electric Light Com.
pany yesterday took down the forty
foot pole at the northeastern corner of
Mill and Front streets and replaced it
with a tall sixty foot pole. which will
be used to elevate the wires on level
with the top o. the river bridge. " hioh
will be used to carry them over to
South Danville. But two wires will
be strung over the bridge at present.
although the wooden arms employed,
which will rise above the top Of the
iron work, will contain six pins max
ing it practicable to add other wires
as they may be needed.
What Is needed now is for the Bor-
ough to remove the electric light pole
at the southeast corner Of the same in
tersection of streets. The winRwall
changed by the county, especially since
the railing has been replaced, it must
be confessed, helps the appearance of
things considerably. It is thought that
the Borough Council will yield to pub
lio opinion and remove or very much
modify the curbing at the foot Of the
approach. Whatever is done, however.
must be accomplished quickly; other
wise delay will occur in putting
down the pavement.
The trolley track is fully connected.
Contractor Rogers Yesterday began the
work of concretipg the roadway and
unless held up by some delayed action
of Council the approach will be com,
pleted before the last of the week.

Summer Athletics.

After most successful winter sea-
son of activity in the Y. M. O. A.
gymnasium the members of the differ
ent classes are beginning, as the warm
er weather comes on, to turn their at
tention to open air sports. Nearly
every branch of these open air amuse-
ments will be represented in the cur
riculum.
Base ball teams are being organized
in the different classes, and daily prac-
tioe is being INDUCED in. The first
game of the season will be played at
DeWitt's Park on Friday afternoon at
3 10 o'clock between the senior and
mems classes. For this game the Sc.
niors are practicing each afternoon at
2 o'clock, and the men at O'Clock.
Members wishing to try for positions
on the teams should present them
selves for practice at DeWitt's Park at
the time specified.
Lawn tennis also promises to be very
popular this summer. The grounds on
West MahOning street were never in
better condition, and already the courts
are occupied every evening and often
during the day time. The game de-
velops agility and strength throughout
the entire body, and as an exercise ten
mis- is considered one of the best.
The cross country walks which have
been so enjoyable and profitable in the
past will be resumed this summer.
These walks are very beneficial. The
start is usually made about 6 80 a. IN.
and the pedestrians after two hours
walk and bath are ready to meet the
duties of the day, and appreciate the
joys of living.
1t is expected that a swimming class
will be formed this summer. Seven
young men were taught to swim last
summer. and it is hoped that many
more will take advantage of the class
this year. This class will be started
as soon as the weather will permit.
providing suitable place can be Sc
cured.

nany Uses for Engine.

The Borough traction engine proves
to be pretty useful piece of machin-
cry. It is indeed quite surprising how
many different uses it can be put to.
1t was originally employed in pump
Ing water when the sewer was being
dug. 1t was soon found that it could
be used to an advantage as a steam
plow in breaking up the hard macad-
am on streets that we're to be paved.
There was also work for it to do in
operating the stone orusher when it
came co furnishing material for con-
crete needed in street paving. Yester-
day the old engines sphere of use full
ness was enlarged by being made to as
sist in digging the sewer extension on
Lower Mulberry street. 1t could not 60
down into the trench, it is true, but
was used to excellent advantage IN
cutting through the course of cinder
aud iron stone which forms the road
bed. dragging the plow backwards and
forwards over the same spot until a
deep furrow was formed, below which
It was easy digging. By means of the
engine yesterday the sewer took big
stride for ward, the ground being brok
en- as far as Pine street.

REPAIRS TO
Be MADE

Citizens who live along Bloom street
or who have occasion to use that
thoroughfare will be gratified to learn
that Council has taken such action as
will result in placing the street in
first class condition at the earliest pos
sible day.
At the last meeting of Council the
Borough Surveyor was instructed to
resurvey Bloom street. giving a grade
on which general repairs could be car
ried forward that would reduce the
roadway to the same level as the troll
ley track and enable the Borough to
construct crossings that would be of
service in muddy weather.
Mr.. Keefer having made the survey
as requested the Borough Council has
instructed the Street Commissioner to
proceed with repairs, beginning work
during the early part OF this week.
The intention is not to interfere with
the trolley track, which in most in
stances. lies below the level of the
street but to Ont down the roadway
until it conforms with the track.
An effort is also being made to have
A street fixed up to suit the property
owners and the public. The owners Of
property abutting will be notified in
the course of a day or so of joint
meeting of themselves and the Borough
Council, which will be held ON the
ground next Saturday evening, June
3, at O'Clock, when an effort will he
made to come to some understanding
with reference to the retaining wall
on each side Of the street, to which in
their present form there is much OBJ
lection. Those responsible for the i'm
provements are anxious that the street
shall be fixed mp to fully protect own
ers of abutting property. To show
their good intentions the trolley Com
pany has suspended work and it will
no doubt make every reasonable con-
cession.
