be thorough.

State Commissioner of Excise Glenn
ents reports that he has received
$500 from Annie j. Purcell of Month

-Pay-as-you-enter cars will soon
be spinning over the system of the
Scranton Railway company. They
were ordered several months and de-
livery was promised for early fall.
1t has not been decided on what
lines they will be placed but the
probabilities are they will be on the
lines where traffic is heaviest. Those
style cars are being bought as an
experiment. II they show good re-
suits, it is probable there will be a
larger order sent in at once The
cars are built along the most COM
Portable lines. Passengers enter by
the rear platform, paying fare as
they enter. They leave by the front
platform. This system has been in
use in the big cities some time and
has been found successful in re-
lieving congestion.

from whom Honesdale took a series
of five games during July and Au-
gust, and he will, he says, be much
disappointed II his team takes the

fast game is expected.
