Appli,d for Macndamlzed Road.

The supervisors Of Winslow township
have made application to have a mile
of township road, from Cool Spring
Hollow, eastern limit OF Reynoldsville
borough, TO the cross roads at Fuller
farm, east Of Prescottvile, macadamiz-
ed under the State Highway law. The
supervisors are expecting the State
Highway Department engineer here
soon to make the survey. The road
will be macadamlzed twenty-four feet
wide. Under this new law for improv-
ing highways the township pays 16 per
centum, the county 16 per centum and
the state pays the balance OF the ex-
pense in paving the public highways.
This Is the first application, we under
stand that has been made in Jefferson
county under the new law for improving
public roads.
This gives Reynoldsville borough an
opportunity to get Main street ma
cadamzed from Seventh street end Of
brick paving, to Cool Spring Hollow, to
connect with township macadamized
road, for the small sum of 12i or not
over % per cent of the actual cost of
macadamizing the street, and the state
will pay Is per cent OF the cost of paw
ing. An application should be made
promptly and If the work is not done
this year it will be done next year.
This is cer tainly a good opportunity to
get Main street macadamized.

Fast and Close Game.

The game, of basket ball last Thurs
day evening between two home teams,
Enterprise Athletic Association and
Reynoldsville high school teams, was
one of the best and most hotly contested
games played in the association rooms
this season. At the end of the second
half the score was tie, 1913, and the
teams had to take another whirl at it,
which lasted about three minutes when
the Athletics scored two, making the
total score 1913 in favor of the Ath.
letics. The proceeds OF this game will
be used to buy uniforms. This is the
first season basket ball has been played
at Reynoldsville and now we have two
of the strongest teams in this section.
