the report of the jury of view which
awarded the turnpike company $780,
$40 for its stretch of seven and one
half miles, extending from Philadel-
phia County line to Springhouse
Hotel, in Lower Gwynedd Township.
The report was fled last Fall, but
the opening of the road was held
back by the County Commissioners,
who filed exceptions to the manner
in which the jury made it's investl-
cation. The commissioners allege
that the jurors were taken over the
road in an automobile at such q clip
that they were incapable of viewing
the road properly.
These exceptions were withdrawn
and the turnpike company filed an
appeal for court jury to increase
the award. The company allowed
the county to take the road.

DEBAR puNKARp DRESS.


Lancaster Especially - An appeal
was made to the Lancaster County
Court to prevent the comely young
Dunkard school teachers in the
country districts from wearing the
garb of their church in the school
room. The suit is brought by l.. u.
Stager and is directed against the
school directors of Mt. Joy Town
ship. 1t is based upon the act OF
the Legislature passed in 1895 pro-
hiblting any public school teacher
from wearing any dress, garb, en-
blem, mark or insignia indicating
membership in any religious sect or
denomination.
In Mt. JOY Township there are
several teachers of the Dunkard
faith and they wear the garb of that
church. In effect .Stager's suit is
that the practice should be stopped.
The suit was preferred before
Squire Epler, of Elizabethtown, and
the case has been returned to court.
Several years ago a similar case
arose in Gallatzin, exactly similar
to this. 1t created a widespread
sensation but the matter was dropped
by the Sisters withdrawing from
school before the point was passed
on by the courts and It is believed
that the Mt. Joy case will also be
dropped
