buildings with coal for the next two
months has been awarded to Fenton &
Doughty at 1928 per ton. The adver-
tisements for this service were made to
read differently from heretofore. They
have usually specified BEST Lehigh coal,
but the last advertisement read BEST
Lehigh coal, stove and egg Sizes" The
last contractor took it into his head that
pea coal was good enough for the county
and he furnished about one third of the
coal that. size, at the cost of the other.
On being spoken to about it and
his attention called to the fact that
the grates' we're too large for that size
COAL ant. mat stove and egg had always
been furnished, he replied that the speci-
fications did not call for any particular
size and in his opinion pea coal would do
as well as any other, 30 he sent that. The
difference in price of the sizes is sufficient
explanation of the reason for the sub
stitution. The transaction. however, COM
PEELED the committee to name the size of
the coal desired, and not leave anything
to the imagination of the contractor.
More snow has fallen and there will be
the usual complaints about persons who
ignore the ordinance compelling the clean
ing of sidewalks 1t is right to make res
dents respect this ordinance, but in doing
this the township must not forget it has
duty to perform. There was unjustifia-
BILE neglect last week of property owned
by the township. Notwithstanding there
had been general thaw on Friday morn
ing and the snow could easily be removed,
crossings were neglected and at three
O'Clock in the afternoon one of the most
important, that from King street to Madi-
son avenue, was nearly ankle deep In
slush. Another strip. a sidewalk along
Washington street, belonging to the town
ship, was not attended to at that hour
Yet the officers were notifying property
owners that the eight hour limit had ex-
PRED. Make the people respect the ordi-
nance, but keep your own sidewalks clean.

! side world, but from the number of tickets
printed, as shown by a bill paid by the

aratiCns have been made for large crowd.
The total number of tickets is, as near as
can be determined, 300 In this lot are 10
