The Park Lamp Destroyed


Last Saturday night, some mis-
creant tore the lamp in the center
of the park from the lamp post,
broke the globe and damaged the
lamp to considerable extent.
This lamp was a gift to the Vii
lage Improvement Society, the
donor being Mrs. Alvin Hunsicker,
of New York, who spends part OF
her time at Laporte during the
summer season. Such vandalism
deserves severe punishment. An
investigation has disclosed some
evidence and d prosecution of the
guilty parties by the proper author.
tiles will no doubt be instituted.
The Village Improvement Society
has done much to improve and
beautify the town and it's work is
fully appreciated not only by its
citizens but by the summer sojourn-
ers here. All are justly indignant
that any one should stoop so low
as to commit the offense that took
place Saturday night and the offend
ers deserve the condemnation they
are very sure to receive.

A FEW REASONS WHY
MANpUS W. REESER
SHOULD BIZ REELECTED

While he was member of the
Legislature i'm 1911, he took a very
active part in passing the bill for
State roads and succeeded i'm get
ting for Sullivan county more miles
of roads, in proportion to the popu-
lation, than any other county in
the State.
By this Act of Assembly the
roads taken by the State are a
State and not a township charge,
as well as every tax payer, received
direct benefit from the law.
Mr.. Reeser's activity in thepas-
sage of this law at the last Session
will if he is reelected place him on
the Road Committee, which will
deal with all new road and changes,
and there his influence will be
trebled.
If the road loan is voted by the
people, we have no doubt with Mr..
Reeser at Harrisburg, we can not
only get our full share of Che new
roads but that he can have work
begun on our roads as early as any
where. 1t is uot too much to hope
that 1913 will see the beginning of
the actual work.
No new member can do this for
us. In the first place a new MEM
ber would not stand the slightest
chance of getting on the Road
Committee, and secondly he would
have to spend most of his time in
"learning the ropes" and making
himself known. Mr.. Reeser has
already shown his ability, and his
influence will be largely increased
by his return and he can do still
more for the county. 1t is certain
that new roads will be added to
those already planned. If Mr..
Reeser is on the committee land he
will be if re-elected) he confidently
expects that he will get road
through Elkland and Fox town
ships, thus giving every district in
the entire county a State road.
Understand these roads are not
only built by the State, but main
tanned, without a cent of taxation
on the townships. All State Taxes
are practically paid by the corpora
tions.
1t is just and right that the burd-
en- of building and maintaining the
principal highways should be borne
by the corporations. We people OF
Sullivan county want our share OF
the benefits of this road law. Every
road built or taken over is a sub.
stantial thing for every tax payer.
The election of M. w. Reeser will
assure us of a member who knows
the in and outs of the road law,
and can get us our fair proportion
of the roads, his defeat will leave
us out in the cold. We say "drop
politics and cast your vote for the
man who is able to do us the most
good at Harrisburg" That man,
as you all can see, is M. w. Reeser.
