COUNCIL IN
REGULAR SESSION
Dust And Speed Nuisances
Discussed

AT the meeting of Town Council
Monday night the nuisance of so
much dust on Main street was dis
cussed. There have been many
complaints recently about this nui-
sance and members of Council are
anxious to get some preparation
that will keep down the dust. At
the suggestion Of Councilman Bar
ton, it was decided to have the Sec
retary correspond with the Tarvia
people, for suggestions as to what
would be the best preparation
under the circumstances. L. is
likely that special meeting Of
Council will be called to take ac-
ton when it is decided what mate
rial to use Oh the street.
Councilman Wilson brought up
the matter Of speeding on Main
street and suggested that a special
motor cycle traffic officer be ap-
pointed for a time. nj discussing
the matter he said, "Some one will
be killed if the speeding is not stop
ped and it is up to Council to take
some action before that happens. "
It was finally decided TO authorize
Mayor Hossinger to appoint a spec
ial traffic officer. The appointment
will probably be made in a few
days. The speed limit under the
town ordinance within the limits
Of the town is II miles an hour.
The ordinance also provides a fine
of not less than $40 or more than
S25 for violations.
Council authorized Secretary
Herdman to notify those persons in
arrears with their light and water
bills that they must be paid withia
ten days. ..

Law Governing Subscriptions

Most. readers Of newspapers and
many publishers are not familiar
with the laws governing subscrip-
t:c~c. HlTc &yo tao decisions ot
We United States Court on the sub
.ject. They will be interesting to
publishers and many will undoubt-
edly be glad Of the opportunity to
print them for the benefit Of de-
linquent subscribers:
Subscribers who do not give
express notice to the contrary are
considered as wishing to renew
their subscriptions.
"If subscribers order discon-
tinuance of their publication the
publisher may continue to send
them until all dues are paid
:" If the subscriber refuses TO
take the periodical from the post
office to which they are directed, he
is responsible until he has settled
his bill and ordered the paper dis
continued. .r..
IF subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
Usher, and the papers are sent to
the former address, the subscriber
is held responsible.
The courts have held that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
postoflice or removing and leaving
them uncalled for is prima facie
evidence of intention to defraud.
.If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end Of the time, if they do not
wish to continue taking it, other
wise the subscriber is responsible
until express notice with payment
of all arrearages is sent to the
publisher.

Serious Accident Averted

A serious accident threatened
last evening when a Ford car driv-
en- by James Mackey of Strickers-
vile, crashed into The store of G.
Fader, Mr.. Mackey, with three
friends, was driving slowly down
Main street when he turned to the
right to avoid "a motorcycle. Just
as the turn was made "'Canonicus"
a shepherd dog belonging to Miss
Emily Worrall, dashed in front Of
the machine. The driver, in order
to spare the dog, again veered to
the right. The force of the turn
dashed the car into the building.
OnloOkers expected to see the car
turn turtle and hear the crash Of
breaking glass. Although the
house was shaken there was no
damage, even 20 the breaking of a
pane of glass. On the car, not
even the fender was bent. Those
who witnessed the affair pronounce
the outcome almost miraculous.
The dog was run over but no
bones broken. He was put in the
hands of a veterinarian and, un-
less internally injured, will probab-
ly recover.
