ARE
LOUD AND BITTER

The necessity OF street improvement
throughout the borough was never
more keenly felt than at present.
The melting snow and the rain,
which followed. have produced deep
mud, which at n good many places not
only makes driving difficult but also
renders walking unpleasant The
streets are cut up into deep ruts, while
the crossing stones are buried under
the mud.
Conditions are nowhere worse than
in the eastern part of the borough, on
East Market, East Front and Grand
streets. Here while walking over the
crossings pedestrians are apt to get in
to the mud half over shoe tops.
Wholesale repairs taking in not only
roadways with crossings but also the
sidewalks have been contemplated by
council for couple of years past, but
have been held up with the hope that
the borough by and by could see its
way clear to enter upon street paving
in that part of town.
Citizens declare that the limit has
been reached and complaints are loud
and bitter

Memorial day, which this year falls
on May 3lst, was Monday eve chosen
as the date for the dedication of the
imposing shaft which now stands near

fitting tribute to the soldiers and sail
ors of Montour county who fought to
save the Union.
In selecting date for the dedica.

with a difficult ask. April 9th, the
date of Lees surrender was day that
would have been appropriate, but that
the date this year falls OH Good Fri.

have been considered had not the day

appropriate occasion between now and
the 4th of July was Memorial day.

STATE TESTING
OUR WATER SUPPLY

Our readers will be gratified to learn
that thorough and systematic test of
the purity of our water supply, along
with that of the hospital for the in
sane, is being made by the State de-
partment of health. The test will EN-
brace succession of days and will
establish beyond the shadow of doubt
whether or not our water is pure and
fit to be used for drinking and culinary
purposes.

der Chief Engineer Snow, we're in this

ments for putting the test into opera.
tion. At noon Mr.. Irwin left for Har-
risburg. but Mr.. Fletcher remained to
conduct the tests, At the Montour
house he was interviewed by a News
representative aud he explained how
searching and decisive the trial will
be.
1t is true our river water has been
aualyzed oil different occasions in the
past, but the samples taken generally
consisted of single phial of water
taken from the reservoir after it was
filtered To this on one or more oo-
casions we're added a sample Of raw
water and of water taken from q tap
in the city.
1t is the purpose Of the State Depart
ment of health in the present instance
to obtain water from all three sources
and to continue the process day after
day until twenty-four samples are OBJ.
tained, meanwhile closely observing
the mechanical operation of the plant
to determine whas degree of efficiency
is attained.
The State department of health is
especially interested in the analysis of
raw water, as the test being made in
this relation will reveal to what ex.
tent the river is polluted with sewage
and will no doubt influence the State
in its action relating to sewage dis
posal.
AT the same time that he is conduct
ing the tests in this city Mr.. Fletcher
will be taking samples at the filter
plant at the hospital for the insane
The number of samples taken there
will be the same as in this oity-twen-
ty-four. Water will be taken not only
from the river and taps in town or at
the hospital building, but also at the
outlet of each of the filter tubs en-
ployed. The samples from both places
as soon as taken each day will be care
fully sealed aud sent by express to the
State laboratory for analysis.
The final result will be awaited with
great interest.

ELECTRIC ALARM
OUT OF repair

The school board held a regular
meeting Monday. the following mem
bers being present: Pursel, Orth, Bar
Der, Swarts, Burns, Redding, Lloyd,
Fischer, Fish. Cole and Heiss.
Mr.. Fischer of the building and re-
pair committee reported that the elec-
trio fire alarm installed in the school
buildings last fall is out of repair.
In the fourth ward the system can not
be used at all He urged that some
thing be done to the end that the bells
might be placed in commission.
Mr.. Burns reported that the electric
alarm system in the second ward school
building fails to work also and he
ventured the opinion that the batter.
les are weak
DR. Barber reported that J. w Wal
lie, who Installed the system. some
time ago promised that he would ex-
anime the system and put it in coed
working order. Up TO the present,
however, nothing has been done. DR..
Barber declared that the school hoard
owes it to the patrons OF the school
that the fire alarm system be kept in
good working order.
On motion of Mr.. Burns it was ord.
cred that competent man be employ
ed to overhaul the system and put it
in good working order
On motion of Mr.. Fischer it was
ordered that the supply committee be
authorized to purchase two dozen
chairs for use in school rooms, select
ing from samples on hand in the di-
rectors room.
SYSTEM OF PENMANSHIP.
Mr.. Burns introduced the subject Of
writing as now practiced in the pub
lie schools of Danville, recommending
the introduction of new, preferably
slant system, in place of the vertical
system now taught. 1t was called to
the attention of the board that the
vertical system now in use in the low
er schools gives place in the high
school commercial department to the
slant system, which is required in the
business world. Both Professor def
fenbaoler and Professor NaFill eX-
pressed themselves in favor of the
slant system, claiming that the other
system is unnatural and produces very
few good penmeu.
The matter was placed in the hs nds
of committee which will report at
the next meeting.
The following bills were approved

Sick from Church Supper.

A supper was given Saturday night
in North Wales, Montgomery county,
for the benefit OF the Methodist Epis-
copal church. and by Sunday morning
a large number of the five hundred in
attendance were very sick and doctors
were hurriedly called by scores of suf-
ferers. There we're symptoms OF pro.
maine poisoning, believed TO have been
caused by chicken patties and canned
green peas. Not many cases we're very
serious.

Committee
Was APPOINTED

Pursuant to action taken by the bor-
ough council at its last meeting some
seventy.five citizens assembled in the
court house last night to consider some
matters relating to sewage disposal.
The meeting was called to order by
President of Council Andrew Sohstz,
who explained the object of meeting
and introduced Borough Solicitor Ed
ward S. Gearhart.
Mr. Gearhart spoke at considerable
of Danville has done to secure pure
water as we'll as what has been done
bv the State with the same object in
view. The State at one time sunk pipe
in the river bottom for the purpose of
conducting the sewage from the hos
pital to point below the water works,
which pipe Mr.. GeaThart facetiously
called Dauville's first sewage dispos
al plant The pipe in the river, like
three other methods of sewage dispos
al experimental with at the hospital,
lie pronounced monumental fail
ure. " The pipe was finally dug up and
sold for junk. In face of these failures
and the extent to which our water
supply has been polluted in consequ-
ence by the State, Mr.. Gearhart de-
Clared il is both unjust and inconsist
ent on the part of the State depart
ment of health to require our borough
to construct a sewage disposal plant at
this time.
He demonstrated that Dsnville has
not and never will have the financial
means or taxing power to build
sewage disposal plant The only rem
edy at present would seem to lie in
the erection of a joint plant for the
hospital and the town as has been pro-
posed at Norristown.
Former Burgess Rogers spoke brief
ly advocating that committee be sent
TO Harrisburg to try to obtain an ex-
tension Of time and see if anything
can be done toward bringing about a
Joint sewage disposal plant.
Dir. f.. @. Newbaker said that he
does not think that single case OF
sickness ever occurred in Danville that
could be attributed to the water sup
ply. He does not favor expending any
money for experimenting with sewage
disposal.
Frank G.. Schoch spoke at length.
As long as the State continues to pol
lute the river he denied its right to
compel our borough TO remove its sew
er from the river. at conclusion he
was loudly applauded.
Rev. A. b. Still spoke substantially
TO the same effect.
George Reifsnyder went oil record
as opposed to spending any money on
sewage disposal as long as the hospital
continues to pollute the river. Meth
er is he in favor Of a joint plant,
J. II. Cole under the circumstances
does not see the justice Of compelling
Danville to go to the expense of in
stalliug a sewage disposal plant.
On motion committee was appoint
ed to go to Harrisburg and wait upon
DR.. Dixon. The following were ohos-
en-: I. X. Grier, ESQ. E. S. Gearhart,
