Square Joseph Summerill, of Wood
bury, stopped in the Office of our May
or this week asking for the privilege
to see the council proceedings pertain
ing to the gas plant. Looks like some
thing doing But it seems like locking
the stable after the horse had flown, to
call halt on the gas plant at this
late date. The people want the plant
and as it is now about finished, and
this borough will soon have the
streets lighted by gas, that is, proyid-
ing those members of the 400 living
on West Broad street, on the north
erly side will take a trip for few
days and keep hands off, no matter if
our Mayor and Council have erred, the

has appointed your man as superinten-
dent you would have felt satisfied This
is sample of municipal ownership
in small boroughs. The Mayor has
declared that if an injunction is al
lowed he will not attempt to finish
his gas plant, but will let it lay until
after his term is out, so you see the
interest will continue on those bonds
and no revenue will be coming in from
the plant, and the taxpayer who owns
his little home will have the burden
on his shoulders. So go easy, Mr..
Trouble men, at this time.
Miss Alice Adamson is home from
