INDUSTRY BOARD
PUSHING TOWN

NortHum barland is not content with
sitting idle and accepting what hene-
nts tie coming VI ths Claas.rcat ion
yards Of the Pennsylvania railroad
may bestow. Instead, liz terms of the
great American game.it is crowding
its luck
Two organizations have been form
ed with the purpose OF pushing the
town, Of bringing its advantages as a
center before the general public, of
making 1t more attractive as a resi-
dence town.
The first OF these organizations is a
bureau of industry, formed on March
aud, through tie efforts Of Samuel
Todd, a. K. Jaooby and Harry T.
Leiseuring. Its officers are Q. d Bolig,
president; Warren Guteiius, secretary
and John Sheet, treasurer.
1t has 1870 contribute meubaIs, all
actively engaged in lis support. 1t i,
widely advertisjsg the town, and ha;
subscribed to a ltss, clipping bureau,
getting Information Of the fagtori3:
which have burned down or which are
seeking new locations.
Such industries are communicated
with, and sites a-e sugge sltd at North
cumberland. The bureau has severa
good oferN, and numerCu, iuqai, les
but thus for al Of them de.ireu more
than the town was able TO Give. fl
. the meartim-, some will unuorbrogL
be found to witch Nortbpm5s.laut
will b. an ideal location To still
further its @Crs the bureau Is gettin.
ont a. illustrated catalogue giving
the description Of North mberland aui
it, points Of iutere st.
The second organization, whose worl
is as important as the first, is th
Civic Improvement society. Its ain
is to make Northumberland a more at
tractiye place to live in. Regarding
cleanliness as an essential virtue,
has urged each citizen to take person
al pride In the town, and to keep hi
own premises in the best condition
An important move is the ordering o
steel boxes which will be placed o.
the streets, and in which people vii
be asked to put their rubbish, instea
Of tossing it into the streets. Tn
cost of street cleaning will in thi
way be considerably reduced.
Another way in which the town ha
shown q sensible attitude toward il
prospective prosperity is that tn
bureau of industry has urged the pee
pie not to raise the price OF propert
to prohibitive point where no buye
would purchase it, but TO keep th
price within reasonable limits so tha
capitalists seeking investments
either building homes or erectin
business places, might be given add
tional Inducements TO do their shal
toward building up the town.
