Are we going to sit with our hands
folded and see the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company move thirty families
away from Reynoldsville and not make
an effort to induce the company If
possible, not to make the change?
Twice before 1t has been mentioned In
THE STAR that the company expects to
move the train dispatchers Office from
here to Pittsburg in the spring, which
means other changes, and altogether
will move about thirty families away
from our town, and not a thing, that
we have heard OF, has been done to try
to get the company not to make the
change. We stated before that there
is possibility that If the matter is
taken up with the company the change
might not be made. We have made
strenuous efforts, and given literally
in cash, to get industries located in
Reynoldsville that do not sustain
thirty families in the town, and shall
we be Indifferent in this case and allow
thirty families to be taken from town
without turning our hands in the
matter? Surely not Awaken citi-
zens! Get meeting called as soon as
possible and act promptly. This
should have been taken up month
ago.

An important question for the voters
of Reynodsville borough to decide by
ballot on the 10th instant is the $4,000
bond issue for paving Main street, from
Seventh st. to borough line. The Com
monwealth OF Pennsylvania and the
town council OF Reynoldsville borough
have signed an agreement, which is on
file in Harrisburg, whereby this bor-
Ough has agreed to pay one-fourth, and
the state three-fourths, of the expense
of paving the part of Main street above
stated. II the proposition is voted
down the town council can do one of
two things, either try to get the Com
monwealth to revoke the contract or
proceed with the paving and make the
assessments high enough so that the
entire expense OF the paving would be
paid In one year. We understand coun-
Gil can do the latter, and likely will do
30 If the bond issue is voted down. 1t
does seem that this opportunity to get
Main street paved at one-fourth the
actual expense, aside from the curbing,
should not be lost. BY the borough
paying one-fourth Of paving expense,
and paying for curbing, will not make
it cost the borough much more than it
would II the street was paved on the
same proposition as jackson street and
Main, from Seventh to bridge, were
paved, and how many years would be
torn of the calendar OF time before the
street will be paved from Seventh street
to borough line II it is not paved until
the property owners pay two-thirds of
Of the cost? Let us seize this oppor-
tunity to get the needed street improve
ments. Only last month the mud was
almost a foot deep on Main street, be.
tween Seventh and Eighth streets, and
1t required four horses to pull a two
horse load up the hill. A petition is to
be circulated, il the paving is to be
done, asking the property owners along
portion OF street to be paved to pay for
the curbing. Some OF them are willing
to pay that part Of the cost, and few
are willing to pay for one-third Of paw
ing In front OF their property II
necessary.

citizens, ia regard to the bond issue
h'ch tho writer terms pessimistic.
TLat property owners along east Main
street are just rs able to pay for their
paving as people along other streets
already paved. The fact is, there is no
law now in force or known legal agree
ment by which that portion of East
Main street could be paved and cost
the borough less money than by accept
ting the states aid Now / do not see
why one man should ask his neighbor
to pay the same price for his paving
as he did, when he can get it for much
less with no additional cost to objector
or taxpayers in general. This view has
been exploited by some but | hope it
vii not be taken seriously. Their are
objections raised as to the amount of
bonds asked for. You will notice by
the ordinance that they are for tie
purpose of improving East Main street
between Seventh street and the borough
line at Cool Spring The proceeds
from the sale of the bonds can only be
used for that purpose and 70 other. II
the amount asked is more than suffic-
lent the surplus could not be issued
The probable cost could not we'll be
estimated as the writer has no idea as
to what the specifications of the state
will be. Their is one thing certain the
curbing, which the state will pay no
part OF, will cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000 as the distance is about 100 feet
and SOC per lin. #. would be reason
able price to make calculations from.
The width also has something to do
with the cost to the borough as the
State will not pay for anything in ex-
cess OF % feet
From present indications, l would
infer that it is the intention of our
council to continue paving portions OF
streets in other parts Of the town, by
special agreement or statute law, and
pay for the borough's share out of
general taxation, and continue each
year to add some permanent improve
mept, and not allow the paving OF East
Main street to interfere with needed
improvements elsewhere. II such is
the intention of council, l don't think
any good citizen would refuse to grant
their request, but commend them for
the effort they are putting forth to
improve the highways. CITIZEN.

Complaint was made to the editor OF
this paper about the conduct of some
high school pupils one night during the
union gospel meetings in Park Theatre.
They whispered and giggled while DR..
Smith was preaching and annoyed
people near them who wanted to hear
the sermon. Such conduct is very pro-
voking and throughly disgusting to
people who want to listen and are an
noyed by irreverent and silly folk. If
persons who act unseemly in a public
audience, and more especially in church
service, could see themselves as others
see them, surely they would never be
guilty of the same offence again.

The last Saturday Of the union gospel
meetings DR.. Arthur ]. Smith preached
sermon against card playing and card
parties. The sermon had a good effect
on some of the ladies of town, Yho are
church members, and they have
burned their eucher decks and have
declared that they will not play cards
again. Some church members of town
who engaged in and enjoyed the social
dance, have declared that they will
dance no more. DR.. Smith showed so
plainly in his sermons on dancing and
card playing the mistake church men,
bers are making who dance and play
cards that number resolved, as above
stated, that they would quit the dance
and cards.

Grating and Bond Issues.

Some time ago the people of Reyn-
oldsville and vicinity were treated TO
an article written BY one of our citizens,
and published ia THE STAR in which
various things concerning the public
was made mention of, but the writer
was not specific enough for the ordinary
reader to form correct conclusion as
to whom or what the writer was driving
at. The mention of graft and grating
must of had reference to one or both of
two parties now conducting borough
affairs. 1t seems that both these
officials accounts were audited without
any charges OF funds being misappied,
hence would infer that little grating
was practised. AS to the amount Of
comfort the people are enjoying for the
amount of taxes they are paying,
wish to state few facts. The people
either enjoyed some comforts some
years ago they did not pay for, or their
money was not properly spent.
In looking over the present indebted
ness of the borough I find several bonds
still outstanding bearing date of 1885
also others bearing date of 1895 and
still others of later date. Since the
beginning of paving in 1908, taxes have
necessarily become higher on account
of these improvements which have con-
tinued every year, with the exception
of last year. And the taxes for last
year are largely intact and in the hands
OF the treasurer, and no doubt will be
used in the near future for the liquid
alton of old outstanding Indebtedness
previously referred too, hence it will be
seen high taxes becomes necessary.
AS to the proposed paving of East
Main street, believe this is not
very comprehensively understood.
II the writer understands the action
taken by our council it is some-
thing like this: They applied for state
aid for the paving of East Main street,
and in that application bound the
borough for the payment of its share to
the state. The state accepted the
application, made the necessary sur
veys, and are preparing plans and
specifications and intend receiving bids
for said work in the near future.
This being the case, the borough is
virtually bound for the payment of its
share OF the cost. Now there is but
one OF three things to do: Repudiate
the contract or issue bonds for the pay
ment of said paving or lay sufficient tax
to pay for it, in one year. To repudiate
and turn Down State aid would con-
slider very foolish and | hope our
borough council, will never give this
idea one thought. The issuing of bonds
it seems to the writer. would be the
most logical way at this time. 1t is
very probable that under the ruling of
the Attorney-General every dollar cx-
pended by the borough on Main street
for permanent improvements will be
paid back by the state long before the
proposed issue OF bonds would become
due, II any value is attached 10 tue rul-
ing 1t is only a matter OF issuing the
bonds and receiving the money
from the state to pay them with, or
continue muddy roads until the state
builds them.
