Auto Caused a Runaway,

A valuable horse belonging to Miles
Pensyl was ruined in runaway ac-
cident at Elysburg last week, the re-
suit of carelessness On the part of an
automobile driver. The horse was
standing in front of Squire Vought's s
when the auto dashed by, striking the
hind hub of the carriage and soaring
the horse. With a leap the animal
pulled out the tie post and dashed
down the street Iat breakneck speed
Striking the corner of bridge the
carriage, new one, was demolished.
The horse continued running and fin
ally collided with telephone pole,
sustaining serious injuries.
The residents of Elysburg are high
ly indignant over the speed of some of
the cars that pass through the village
and threaten to make it interesting if
the practice is not stopped.

AS VIEWED
BY CITIZENS

The fact is not to be disputed that
there is feeling abroad in town akin
to Indignation over the apparent in
difference manifested by council as to
the condition of East Market street.
The protest is general. What seems
to be especially aggravating is the long
sustained neglect. The street has been
bad for years. Finally the electric
railway was built; this it was thought
would bring about an era of improve
ment. but since the track was laid the
street has been in worse condition
than before.
Appeal after appeal has gone in to
council, but the members apparently
have been too greatly absorbed in
street paving apd macadamization in
other parts of town to give much heed.
Meanwhile things have gone from bad
to worse. Deep ruts were worn in the
street. while mud with every rain lay
several inches deep. The crossing
stones between the trolley tracks, laid
by the merest novices, we're loose and
out of place, jarring vehicles and max
ing it unpleasant for pedestrians.
Finally two corrective measures were
adopted by council. 1t was decided
that the crossing stones be relaid and
that the street be scraped. The orders
in1 hu Wi ci fn hn
street today shows that the cross
ing stones are, if possible, in a worse
condition than before. The street has
been scraped, which, while removing
the mud has left stony uneven
surface. which suggests an old worn
out turnpike road
The general protest at the last meet
ing of council was voiced by men,
Der from the second ward. 1t was sug-
gested that nothing less than coat of
limestone would suffice to fix the
street up in good condition where the
mud had been removed. The outcome
of the matter was that council "took
no action. The question of lime
stone" was settled by motion, which
carried to the effect that "no repairs
he placed on East Market street be-
tween Church and Mill streets. as paw.
ing on that section is remotely in
view. 4
Meanwhile people who use the street
see no relief. The prospect of pave
ment below Church or Railroad street
might afford some consolation if there
were any prospects of such an i'm
provement being any nearer than il
was four years ago. 1t is sincerely
hoped that council between the present
and Autumn will cast off its indiffer.
ence as relates to East Market street
and decide to give that part of town
some of the benefits of street improve.

MUST ADVERTISE
FOR PROPOSALS

The act of May 5, 1906, making it
unlawful for counties to contract to
repair or rebuild bridges without due
advertisement for sealed proposals is
entailing considerable more work and
expense ON our county commissioners,
who have four bridges to repair or re-
build this summer. In all cases where
the contract amounts to $3.50. or over
advertisements must run for three
weeks in three newspapers. In lease
of emergency" it is provided that one
week may suffice.
In each case the three bridges that
our county will have to repair or re-
build this summer will cost more than
$3.50. There is only one-the bridge
at Exchange-to be repaired, but the
amount of work, which, according to
the plans, will be required there will
run the cost up considerably. 1t is
necessary to overhaul this structure at
the very earliest date, which brings
the case in the category of "emerg-
ency cases." where one weeks adver-
tising suffioes.
The bridge at Exchange is situated
near the new bank building. 1t is an
iron structure, which not only needs a
new floor but is imperfect without
wingwalls. The commissioners have
decided to make departure, replacing
the planking with concrete floor.
They will also build wingwalls and
finish up the bridge in an artistic
manner. The structure is thirty-eight
feet long.
Proposals will be asked for building
other bridges as follows;
An iron bridge over the Chillisqua-
que creek at DeGreen's farm in Derry
township.
An iron bridge over the branch of
the Chillisquaque near the farm of
former County Commissioner W. E.
Boyer in Liberty township.
An iron bridge over the same stream
at the farm of Mrs. Ellen Henry on
the road leading from Centre church
to the Milton road.

every one without exception during

for food, even in small quantities to

eat sparingly and properly. We should
also help the stomach as much as poss-
