a town can be adjudged by it's
banks-if they are prosperous the
community in which they are located

Honesdale and its four banks. The

conservative. All of the banks are

THE PAVE QUESTION PARAMOUNT ISSUE IN
H0NESDALE
THE PAVING OF MAIN STREET WILL
OWNERS SO PER LINEAL FOOT FRONT FoRTYTwO
STREIT-THE TOWN COUNCIL FAVORS
THE TAXPAYERS THINK

The borough fathers met in spec
ial session on Thursday evening of
last week for the purpose of discuss
ing a pave for Main street and
transacting what other business that
might present itself before the meet
ing. The meeting, however, was
called principally to take some action
on the petition and recommendation
of the Street and Highway committee
of the Greater Honesdale Board of
Trade, which waited upon the coun-
ell at their regular meeting a week
ago and recommended that Main
street be paved with brick from the
south side of the State bridge to
Fourth street
The following councilmen answer
ed to roll call: Martin Caufield, G..
w. Penwarden, S. T. Ham, T. j.
Canivan, H. C. Rettew, w. H. Kreit-
ner and John ERIK.
A communication was read from
Rev. J. w. Balta, ID. D., pastor of St.
Mary Magdalen's church asking for
the privilege to open the street on
Fifth street for the purpose of tap
ping a sewer. On motion of H. G..
Rettew, seconded by T. J. Canivan
it was carried that permission be
granted DR.. Balta to make the neces-
sary repairs.
Upon different date another COM
munication was received from the
same party asking for permission
from the council for ST. Mary Mag
dalen's church to erect porch
SX32 feet facing Church. The secre-
tary of the council, John Erik, was
instructed to investigate the matter.
The privilege was granted on motion
of w. H. Kreitner, seconded by S. T.
Ham, providing the proposed i'm
provement will not interfere with
town property.
The matter of converting the
City Hall in a postoffice occupied
some time. After discussion it was
left with the president of the coun-
ell to call its members together upon
the arrival of postoffice inspector,
who it is expected, will be in Homes
dale in few weeks to visit the city
hall with the council.
The question or pave brought forth
discussion of sewerage and the
manner the surface water would
have to be taken care of and where
and at what streets catch basins and
side street sewers would necessarily
have to be installed and the piping
be laid. 1t was expressed by some
members of the council that sewage
pipes be laid at every intersecting
side street that led to Main street,
while others claimed that it was
their opinion that the pipes ought to
be laid at the intersection of every
cross street. The idea of a trunk
sewer down Main street was disap-
proved of by the council, it pre-
ferring to take the water down the
side streets. The surface water,
they claimed, could better be taken
care of and in case of a heavy down
pour of rain there would be less
liability of the water backing up.
The width of Main street varies
from IL feet and 6 inches at Seventh
street to 54 feet at Twelfth street; +;
average width SO feet. Width OF
Main street at the intersection of the
following cross streets.

 It is believed that quite an army will be required by this country if the government decides to intervene and to invade Mexican territory. The na- ture of the country is such that rov- ing bands of rebels could exist where regular American troops would find it hard to operate effectively. Another matter which will affect the number of troops to be dispatched will be the attitude assumed by the government of Mexico towards intervention. should the government refuse tO per init the United States troops en- tering peaceably much larger army
