ABOUT 735 TONS
OF CRUSHED LIMESTONE

The season of the year has now ar
rived when in the very nature of
things but little more work can be
done on the streets and yet the fact re
mains that tho general run of our
streets are still in very bad condi-
tion.
Among the streets that should have
been included in the repairs made are
East Market street, Front street, Wal
nut street and Church street from the
ID. L. g. W. railroad northward 1t is
hoped that these important thorough
fares will receive early attention next
spring.
Council has done some very good
work on street repairs this fall, but it
was not until it discarded cinder as a
material and adopted limestone. West
Market street q Centre street as far as
repaired show up very nicely and con-
clusively prove that our street COM
missioner is an adept at street con-
struction when he is given proper
material to work with.
In all 735 tons of crushed limestone
from Dennis Bright's quarries have
been used this fall. The cost of the
stone in the quarries was 60 cents per
ton; the hauling cost As cents per ton.
| What other labor was involved did not
amount to more than $50, so that the
total cost of the street repairs made
approximates $500.
In this connection it is proper that
the public should know that the re.
pairs made with cinder on Bloom
street above A street last summer cost
the borough some $780, When we beal
in mind what source of annoyance
the cindor proved and what a poor
street it is after all, no person will
need to think twice in order to render
his decision in favor of liemstone fol
street repairs. Where the latter ha'
been used all agree thot the money wa'
wisely expended, while where cindel
was employed the money was practic
ally thrown away. All of which
would indicate that while councilmel
have many duties to perform not the
least of these is to see to it that the
peoples money is expended in Il way
4 to secure the best return.

A RAILROAD MERGER


Washington, Jan. i0.-The talk OF con-
solidaton Of the local elevated railroads
is still INDUCED in by Lasalle street
While no official announcement has been
made, the character OF the buying in the
elevated stocks is such as TO make safe
the assertion that the consolidation plans
are being worked out.
A year ago efforts TO consummate this
undertaking were given up. at least tenn
porarily. Within the last six months the
situation has changed entirely The most
potent factor Is the increased earnings
that have been shown by the roads. The
traffic OF the lines has reached such pro-
portions that the renewed attention OF
powerful interests In the east is said to
have been directed to the possibilities
here. and the activity Of the stocks dur
ing the last few weeks has been the re-
suit.
