that in many counties of the

the right kind of road the same

pull one. In fact we know of
many localities when after

SUIT AGAINST PIKE COUNTY.

Suit has been brought in the Unit
ed States District Court against the
county of Pike to recover $4,650 on
an alleged contract for installing a
safe in the County Treasurer's Office,
new vault doors in the Prothonotary's s
and County Commissioners Offices
and steel files in the latter Office.
A summons was served on the
Commissioners on Monday by U. S.
marshal from Scranton, being re-
turnable at Williamsport, Pa, on the
second Monday of January next. APP
pearance will be entered for the
county and the case will likely be
tried in Scranton in the spring.
The suit is brought by Mr..
Spencer, who is agent for a safe COM
pany and secured the alleged con-
tract.
Late in 1908 Messrs. Clune and
Albright made a contract with Mr..
Spencer for installing the safe, doors
and files. Mr.. Albright went out of
Office this year and was succeeded by
Philip c. Kinkel. The new board of
commissioners repudiated the con-
u oSI Ol lCCOuhI VI val lOuo
larities, some of the allegations be-
ing that the contract was let after
the meeting adjourned, without no.
tice to Mr.. Hatton; that the contract
was signed by Messrs. Clune and AL
bright as individuals and not as coun-
ty commissioners; that the contract
is not attested by the commission
ers' clerk and does not contain the
seal of the county; and that the price
is outrageously extravagant.
The reputation of the contract,
notice of which was served on Mr..
Spencer by the Sheriff, did not deter
him from fulfilling the contract, for
the goods were shipped to Port Jer-
Wis and part of them brought here.
OF course they were refused admit
tance to the court house and are now
stored in the barn of Joseph G. Sny-
der. The large safe is still at the
freight depot in Port Jervis, where
1t has been since last summer.
A Scranton firm of lawyers repre-
sents the plaintiff and 1t is under
stood that the commissioners will
engage eminent counsel to assist the
county solicitor in looking after the
interests of the county.

Census Director Durand Sets Feb. 9th
as the Date.
Washington, d. c., Dec. 27, 1909.
ANY person of good judgment, who
has received an ordinary common
school education, can readily and
easily pass the test to be given appli-
cants for Census Enumerators' places
on Saturday, Feb. 5th, the date final
ly set by U. s. Census Director Dur
and, according to an announcement
from the Census Bureau to-day. This
will be comforting assurance to the
several hundred thousand who are
believed to be contemplating applica-
tion for the places.
1t was emphatically stated at the
bureau that the test will be an emf
nently reasonable and practical one,
similar to that applied to applicants
at the Twelfth Census. 1t will con-
sist of filling-out a sample schedule
of population from a description, in
narrative form, of typical families;
and, in the case of enumerators whose
work will be in the rural districts,
they will be called upon to fill out
an additional sample schedule of ag-
riculture, from information furnish
ed by the Census Bureau.
All persons, whether women or
men, who may desire to become CEN
sus emumerators must be citizens of
the United States; residents of the
supervisors district for which they
wish to be appointed; must be not
less than Is nor more than 70 years
of age; must be physically able to do
the work; must be trustworthy, hon.
est and of good habits; must have at
least an ordinary education and must
be able to write plainly and with
reasonable rapidity.
Those who can comply with these
requirements are invited to put in
their applications, as there will be
at least $4,000 enumerators' places
to be filled by the middle of March
in preparation for the enumeration
beginning April 18th.
Application forms, with full in
structions for filling-in, and complete
information concerning the test and
the method of appointment, can be
secured by writing to the supervisor
of census for the supervisors district
in which the applicant lives. All ap-
plications, properly filled in must be
filed with the supervisors not later
than January 25th as any received
after that date cannot be considered.
