Pursuant to the action of council
taken on July ,. 1909. a public meet
ing of the borough council was held
Monday eve to hear objections to the

was adopted authorizing the prepara-
tiou of an ordinance for paving.

ent Schatz. Finnigan, Pursel, lies,
Jones, Marshall, Everhart, Connolley
and Won Blohn.
After remaining in session for some
time and no one appearing to offer OBJ.

On motion of Mr.. lies council ad-

DUST NUISANCE
ON SOUTH SIDE

Owing TO the protracted drought
tile dust at many places is becoming
an insufferable nuisance Nowhere is
this condition more in evidence than
on the bridge approach at South Dan
willie, where all the roads leading from
the expansive area on the south side
OF the river converge and under the en-.
ormous traffic the dust is deeper than
is found anywhere else.
Earlier in the season someone sug-
gested the advisability OF applying
crude petroleum as means OF effec.
lively putting an end to the dust nuis-
ance Nothing seemed to grow cut Of
it, however, and in the continued alb
sence OF rain the conditions are as
above described.
1t might be interesting to learn that
in many other localities where the
dust is a nuisance the oil remedy is
being applied with excellent results.
In one of the streets of Willismsport
crude oil was applied Tuesday by
sprinkling The dust was six inches
deep but the oil formed a coating on
the surface that kept the powdered
earth from flying. A slight Dust yes
teIday rose from the feet of the horses
but none from the wheels OF vehicles.

DEATH OF MRS.
MARTHA ii. YORkS

Mrs. Martha Hull Yorks, an old and
nearly lifelong resident of Montour
county, died at the family residence,
Bloom street, shortly before - O'Clock
Friday night.
Death was due to heart trouble and
was very sudden. Some years ago the
deceased sustained stroke of paralys-
is. She never fully regained her health
and bodily vigor, although, with a
little assistance she got along very
we'll and frequently appeared on the
street Up to Friday evening she was
in her usual health and when she re.
tired there was nothing to indicate
that death was near. Between ! and
II o'clock she was seized with the
fatal attack. The family physician
was hastily summoned but when he
arrived she had passed away.
The deceased was aged 81 years, :
mouths and % days. She was the wild
ow Of William Yorks, whose death &C.
curred many years ago She was horn
in Cstawissa. For number of years,
along with her husband, she lived on
the Yorks farm, Bloom road. For oy-
er twenty years she resided ia Dan
vile. She was a woman beloved by
all who knew her, in whose life were
exemplifed all the Christian virtues.
She is survived by one daughter, Miss
Ida Yorks. of this city, and two sons,
Edward Yorks, OF Benton, and DR..
John Yorks. of Philadelphia.

WORKING ON
THE FISH DAM

Partie' were at work Yesterday on
the fish dam installed in the river
near the rifles. The services of d
horse were brought into requisition
which along with the men attracted
considerable attention out in mid.
stream.
Conditions for catching eels by
fish baskets did not prove very favor
able last season and it is doubtful If
the persons who installed the dam
were paid for their trouble. Last
years walls in the main still exist
and will require but little fixing up so
that the fish basket on the same spot
this year can be installed with com
parstively little cost.
FYKE NETS OR EEL POTS.
The change made in the fish laws
by the Act of May l, 1909, must be
taken into account by all persons who
contemplate installing fish baskets,
fyke nets or eel pots.
The act in question provides shat
fish baskets may be used from the 18th
day Of September to the 18th day of
Novembe in each year, both dates in
elusive and from four o'clock in the
afternoon until eight o'clock the fol-
lowing morning for the capture Of
eels. No wing walls Of any two bas-
kets shall be within twenty feet of
each other at the upper end or reach
from main shore to main shore, or ex-
tend over more than Lthree -fourths of
the width Of the stream or occupy so
much Of the stream as to prevent the
passage of canoes or boats or be con-
structed of any.other material than
loose stones
The bottoms of fish baskets shall be
made of well5rounded wooden Stats
not more than two inches wide, so
set that theysshall not be less than
three -eiGhths of an inch apart The
bottoms must be movable for the en-
tire width of each and every fall and
said bottoms or parts of bottoms must
be taken out of said falls or so adjust
ed as to make it impossible for them
to catch fish from eight O'Clock in
the morning and kept out until + in
the afternoon.
Under the act OF May ], 1909 fyke
nets, eel pots or dip nets in streams
not inhabited by trout may be used
for the capture of ees, catfish. suck
ers, mulIets and carp-from the lst
day of July until the.3lst day Of May
Of the year next ensuing both dates in
elusive The new law provides Uhat
no fyke net or any eel pot shall have
any wings attached to either OF them
or be set or fastened to any wing
walls or within ten feet Of any wing
walls or be set within ten feet Of each
other and the space between each shall
be free fruu all ob,'rurTions for the
passage OF fish; ur for any fyke net

or with an outside diameter ot tho
mouth Of more than thr.y inches;
nor shall any such nets be fastened or
used from Saturday L0gu uYtil Mon

next ensuing Each fyke net or eel pot
must have fastened thereon a metal

WORK FOR CO.
commissioners

q county commissioners have "A
consiL ~able amount of work on their
hands for he present season. if they
carry out the recommendations of sew
eral grand juries that have examined
the river bridge and the public build
ings during year or so past.
The recommendations relating to the
river bridge, especially, involve a
good deal of work. The last grand
jury recommended that the bolts Of
the first and, second spans on the Dan
willie side be examined and properly
adjusted by an expert. An earlier
grand jury called attention to the
need of paint on the river bridge.
That repairs along both OF the above
lines are needed is apparent to every
one. Our grand juries, happily, are
thoroughly alive to the fact that the
State has given Us one of the finest
bridges that span the North Branch of
the Susquehanna. 1t remains for the
county commissioners to keep the same
fact in sight and avoid any neglect or
delay that might jeopardize the stabil-
ity of the noble structure. No one
will dispute that it needs paint-that
the iron work is undergoing deteriora
tion because of that need That the
bolts need read diustment and that the
bridge must sustain damage in its
present state is fact apparent to every
person who drives or walks across the
structure.
THE RETAINING WALL.
The grand jury at the last session Of
court also recommended that the coun-
~ commissioners build q retaining
wall along the river front from the
abutment of the west side of the
bridge TO the retaining wall at the
water works built by the borough.
Northumberland county is jointly re
sponsible with Montour county for
the condition of this tract of ground,
which is a part Of the bridge proper
ty. The erection of a retaining wall
at this point has been recommended
by several successive grand iuries bat
the carrying out OF the recommends-
tions has been delayed by the attitude
OF the Northumb berland county board
which opposes the building OF the
walt
The delay in entering upon this work
called forth some structures from Pres.
ident Judge Charles @. Evans at tie
last session OF court. lt is the inten-
tion OF the law, ne declared. that
the reoomme ndation of grand juries
be carried out
More recently in a conversation
with q representative Of the News
Judge Evans declared that he cousid-
ers the plot owned jointly BY the two
counties in its present state menace
to public safety ana that should an
accident occur there the two counties
would be liable for damage. He said
that the only course open for the
county commissioners is for them to
proceed and build the wall
The summer is now about half over,
but there is still sufficient time to
carry out the recommendations OF the
grand jury both as relates TO the re-
tainiug wall and the river bridge, but
it will be necessary 10 entar upon the
work at an early day.
