WANTS TUMBLE"
FOR THE DAM

There was some discussion at the
meeting of the Levy Court to-day con-
cerning the bridge at the Noxentown
mill dam. It was brought about by
letter from w. ID. Evans, who informed
the court that he intended to build a
tumble" there. "a tumble is an
arrangement whereby water is DOM
med. President Dayett said Evans
could build the tumble" and the Levy
Court erect the bridge. but the owner
Of the dam will have TO build the
foundation. The commissioners thought
it would be best for Mr.. Evans to work
with the Levy Court. =
on motion of Mr.. Dennison the mat
ter was referred to the courts at
torney.
When the Noxentown mill dam broke
some time ago the abutmerts Of the
county road bridge were washed away
The Levy Court later inspected the
bridge and it was decided to have the
bridge replaced. AS soon as the Levy
Courts attorney gives his opinion re-
garding the tumble" some definite ac-
tion will be taken in the matter.

CURED, in his opinion
General Wilson's letter to Mr.. Bel
mont follows:
March 4, 1910,
Honorable Perry Belmont,
1918 New Hampshire Avenue,
Washington, ID. c.
My dear Sir:
l beg to acknowledge receipt of your
favor of the 9Th, and of the accom-
panying letter in reference to a Ma
tional Publicity act
AS you know, l am heartily in ac-
cord with this act, and take great
pleasure in saying that even in the
modified way in which the National
Republican Committee reported its re-
ceipts and expenditures to the State
of New York, the principle OF the
practice has been already beneficial Il
as In the Delaware elections.
IL has enabled our local newspapers
to call attention to the fact that 500,
600 was sent by the National Commit
tee TO the chairman of our State Re-
publican Committee during the last
national political campaign. The COM
mont thereon has doubtless acted as a
detriment to bribery at elections.
As you may have also noticed our
Attorney General has secured the con-
viction Of one Jack Goodwin for attempt
at bribery and the said Goodwin is now
undergoing a two years Imprisonment
I'm the State workhouse. Where he
got the money he is convicted of hav-
ing used or tried 70 use is a matter
of conjecture but it is plausabily sup
posed that II was part OF the $4,000
mentioned above.
You cannot do too much to secure
prompt action Of Congress. on the Nc
Call bill introduced March is, 1909
II should surely be made a law at the
earliest possible day. A general Con-
gressional election is at hand and the
people who arc opposed to bribery
at elections should have all the sup
port that can be possibly given them
by the passage of a sane publicity act
through Congress and by the passage
of antibribery acts through the variou:
legislatures.
We have already made considerabl,
progress IN the good work and will
these aids the honest men of III,
country would soon be able to secure
honest elections.
You are at liberty OF course, 10 us,
this letter as you may think best
Yours very respectfully,
James II. Wilson.
