DOGCATCHER CAUSES
NEWLYWEDS TROUBLE
Nabs Wife's Pet Much to Hubbie's
Grief, Has Lively
Time

Steeltons official dogcatcher, Wal
ter Pearson. is having a lively time
these days. Saturday afternoon Pear
son acted as official executioner to
some twenty-slx homeless hounds.
Through his efforts the borough has
been enriched to the extent of some
Sl50. Just 144 dog licenses have been
issued since Pearson begun his oper-
atons and number of dogs have been
redeemed since they were in the tolls
of Pearson.
This morning one of the angry dog
owners, who rushed into Borough Sec
retary Feidt's office to redeem his
wires pet pup, explained to the busy
oihc1al that he was in an awful pre-
dicament.
Why just must get that dog.
1es Just six months old; got him on
my wedding day, and do you know"
ne added pathetically, II don't have
the 81 to redeem him-and I won't
get paid until August o."
well then l guess you'll have to LET
the dogcatcher shoot him." interrunt
ed the Borough Secretary
oh, but I'd never have peace with
my wife then" almost sobbed the per-
spring husband
Why she loves that dog almost as
well as she does me-" he concluded as
he went forth to attempt to borrow
the 81 that would retain his wife's af-
fections-and the dog.

THE READING
FIVE BIDDERS FOR
HAULING FILL

CONTINUED From First Page1
was Shoemaker, who offered to do
the work in 100 days or less.
Shoemaker, by the way, suggests a
method for hauling the earth that
differs entirely from the others. His
idea is to lay a narrowg guage track
from Maclay to Chestnut street in
Front, out Chestnut to Second and on
down Second to the subway work at
Mulberry. tiny steam "dinky"
would be employed to haul the long
line of cars The other bidders offer
to haul the material via dump wag-
ons.
Sucker Brothers to Pay For Haul
The excavation materials will be
obtained from Sucker Brothers Con-
struction Company, the contractors
who are digging the subways. They
will pay the city authorities fifteen
cents per cubic yard, loaded, at the
subway for removal. To Commissioner
Taylor belongs the credit for some
real finanCeering to the city's advan-
tage on that deal.
When the question of securing the
fill was first taken up some months
ago Sucker Brothers Company offer
ed to haul the dirt for seventy cents
per yard or to pay the city fifteen per
wagon loan for hauling it away.
How Taylor Earned Money For City
An ordinary dump wagon load holds
one and four-tenths cubic Yards and
at the rate of fifteen per wagon load.
City Commissioner Taylor insisted that
the price was too big and agreed to
take over the earth provided the city
would receive fifteen cents per cubic
yard instead of that sum per wagon
load. And Sucker Brothers after
several conferences agreed. This
Leans that the city will get something
like twenty-five or twenty three cents
per wagon load for the dirt.
While the question of awarding the
contract is pending the plans for the
permanent development of the River
Front are in the hands of the park
department and will be submitted to
the State Water Supply Commission
for approval in the very near future
To Preserve Uniformity of Line
The plan as suggested originally by
Principal Engineer j. ID. Justin of the
Board of Public Works and approved
with some changes by the park off,
cials, provides for the dumping of the
earth from line extending eastward
from the edge of the wall in order to
preserve the uniformity of the en-
bankment line at the top.
The plan suggested provided for a
zone on-two" proportion slope-one
foot vertically to two feet horizon
tally The line of slope will be varied
of course, according to the present
steep drop of the embankment Fur
thermore the point at which the line
of fill is to be deposited will depend
upon the slope. From eighteen to
twenty-five feet will be the distance.
