GRAND JURY SUS-
TAINS EXCEPTION

Now taht the river bridge is com
pleted and will be thrown open to the
public week hence it becomes a mat
ter of Importance that the approach be
fixed up in good shape at the earliest
possible date. AS a matter of fact a
great deal of work remains to be done
at each end before persons can drive
on or off the bridge with anything
like ease or safety.
The Danville approach will have to
be paved to conform with Mill street,
of which it is part and this expense,
it is generally conceded, will have to
be borne by the county. A good deal
of work will be involved as in addi-
tion to the necessary grading a retain,
ing wall will have to be built on the
west side in line with the wing wall
of the bridge.
On the south side. however, the prob
lem is much more complicated one
and there is All actual hold up. 1t will
be recalled that the viewers appointed
by the COURT reported in favor of the
oouhoy pulluIuR tiis tWO lUuR 'IttHlD =
ing walls, leaving the township to bear
the expense of filling up. Later the
Court made a decree declaring the re-
tanning walls to be a county improve
ment. the expense of building to BIZ
borne by the county as are county
bridges and the like.
The County Commissioners, how
ever, filed exceptions to the viewers
report and to the Judges approval. In
order to satisfy the Commissioners the
court permitted the matter to 20 be-
fore the Grand Jury at the same time
instructing that body that I'M the pre-
misses the order of the court to build
the wall would have to stand. The
Grand Jury, however, sustained the
Commissioners exceptions and that is
the status Of the case at present.
How long theuhold up will last Is
not known. but In view of the fact that
the court has declared the approach to
be county improvement it is regard
ed as certainty that the Comfy Com
missioners will haye to build the walls.
Charles Chalfant. attorney for the
township, will move to strike of the
exceptions and an effort will be made
to get the work under way at the earl
lest possible date.

new BUILDINGS
ARE COMPLETED

The rebuilding and many alterations
on foot at the stove works are praotic-
ally completed. The new additions
give the plant quite q changed appear
anoe on the exterior, while on the ln-
side in addition to the increased space
there are improved facilities and re-
arrangement of departments that will
add to convenience and indirectly as
sists in improved showing.
The annex to the foundry was the
first portion completed. The floors are
all in shape and new moulders are be-
ing employed as fast as they arrive.
From some eighty. at present employ
ed. the number will be increased to a
hundred or over. AS at present ar
ranged there is no more commod-
ious. better ventilated or better light
ed shop in the country. To facilitate
work and make it easier for the mould
ers trolley system is contemplated
and will probably be installed very
soon to convey the iron from the Gu
pola to the various floors. Instead of
being laboriously carried by hand to
the remote end of the foundry the
heavy ladies of molten metal will be
suspended from an overhead trolley
and pushed along with scarcely any
effort.
The capacity Of the mounting room
has been doubled by the addition of
another story. Several new mounters
have already been employed and moro
will be taken on later. The second
story in the mounting department is
one of the most desirable apartments
about the whole plant, being we'll
lighted, airy and decorated with a
coat of whitewash. Several new mach
ines are being installed in the clean
ing room while every department. is
being enlarged to keep pace with the
increased capacity of the moulding
department.
About year ago the offices we're re-
moved from the first story to the Sec
ond floor. Among other changes that
followed. the supply department, pre-
sided over by William Flick. has also
been removed from the first story and
is now installed OH the second floor of
the main warehouse adjacent to the
offices.
AS result of the enlargement and
tho improved facilities the produot of
the plant will be increased by at leas
ne-third
