SPORT FOR CHILDREN.

Now that the ice has disappeared
the wide concrete pavement at the
court house has become favorite floor
for roller skaters. The boys and girls
who frequent the spot are very small,
some being mere tots. The smooth
concrete affords nearly as good skat-
ing as a roller rink. The pavement on
the north side of the court house along
with the wide sidewalk in front af-
fords very long run and the little
ones enjoy the sport immensely, some
being very good skaters.
Each day after school the concrete
is crowded. The noise of the skates
and the shouts and the laughter are
almost deafening.
Pedestrians occasionally have a hard
time getting through, but no one seems
to envy the children the good time
they are having and consequently
there is no complaint, most persons
preferring to take the sidewalk on the
opposite side of the street.

NIGHT BLAZE IN STORE

As John Jacobs stopped out OF Len
iper's drug store at l0:30 O'Clock Mon
day eve he saw the interior of Frank
Iinker's tobacco store and pool room
ON the corner of Mill and Mahoning
street, to be mass of fire and smoke.
Calling Charles Leniger to his assist
ance, Mr.. Jacobs burst open the door
of the burning room, forced his way
through the dense smoke and pulled
down a curtain that was i'll blaze.
The curtain, heavy one, which dlVld-
ed the store proper from the pool table,
had been almost entirely consumed by
the flames and the fire was eating in
to the wall and ceiling. With few
minutes more of a start the fire would
have been beyond control in the old
wooded building, and the result would
have been a disastrous fire.
Mr.. Linker had closed his store less
than a half hour before the fire was
discovered and it is believed that the
flames were communicated to the cur
tain from a cigarette.

WILL SUBMIT A
NEW PROPOSITION

Pursuant to action of council taken
at the meeting Monday night Chief
Burgess A. @. Amesbury and President
of the Board of Health DR.. p. G. New
baker, Friday, will visit Harrisburg
for the purpose of comforting with
G. Dixon relative to the impure state
of the effiuent from the sewage dispos-
al plant at the hospital for the insane,
discharged into the river above the in
take to the borough water works.
Three samples of the effluent in all
have been subjected to archaeological
examination at differnet laboratories.
Each report shows that among the
sewage organisms discovered are the
dreaded bacilli coli, which exist in
great numbers. The report from the
laboratory of the State department Of
| health received earlier in the season,
was especially bad, showing that in
the effiueut there were 20, 600 bacilli
coli per cubic centimeter.
/ In view of these unfavorable reports
council fails to see how the establish
ment of sewage disposal plant has
I improved the situation any, sewage
seeming to be as great a menace to
Danyille as it was before the plant
was installed. 1t is for the purpose of
bringing all the facts personally to the
attention Of DI. Dixon and determin-
ing whether something can not be
done that will bring relief that the
burgess and president of the board of
health have been delegated to visit
Harrisburg.
They will take with them the three
laboratory reports showing the impur-
ity of effuent and will eDdeavor to
enlist DIR. Dixon in "A proposition to
get rid of the effuent at the hospital
by bringing it down the abandoned
canal and discharging it into the bor-
ough sewer.

THE COUNTY TAX
At FOUR MILLS

The county tax has been fiexd at 4
mills by the commissioners, the same
as it was during the last two years.
The county, tax for several years was
three and half mills, but it was found
necessary to add one-half mill on
account of the five thousand dollars
contribution that the county was auth
orized to make to the soldiers monu-
ment fund.
During last week the county CON-
missioners were sitting as board of
revision as required to do triennially,
to revise, correct and equalize the
valuation of all property taxable by
law in the county. The board of com,
missioners was engaged practically
the whole week. Every piece and
parcel of real estate in the county was
carefully gone over.
General improvements leading to in
creased valuation were apparent in the
first ward of Danville. Elsewhere
throughout the county the valuation
as general thing remains the same as
formerly.
An exception was found in Valley
township, were according to the asses
sor's returns there was decrease il
the valuation of over $22, 600. In this
township, except where the board felt
that a decrease was warranted, the
valuation was placed back at the form
er figures
Many people, the commissioners say
seem to think that decrease of valua
tiOn leads to reduction of tax losing
sight of the self-evident fact that tn,
county commissioners, the schoo
boards, poor boards and boardssof sup
ervisors throughout the county mus
have a certain amount of revenue anC
that if there is marked decrease il
valuation then there must be an in
crease of millage to meet the require
ments of these several boards.
The taxpayers will receive no notice
of changes made in valuation until tn,
assessors make their annual visit il
April. Following the assessors visit.
appeals will be held at the office oi
the county commissioners, of which
due notice will be given.
