Save the Water.

Owing to the drought, the water in
the reservoirs of the I.ambertVille Water
Company is now unusually low, and
unless there is sufficient rainfall with
in a short time to start the springs to
flowing, it will be necessary to fill the
mains with unfiltered river water.
The Company therefore requests that
all unnecessary use of water be stopped
and that the citizens cooperate with
the Company in conserving, as long as
possible, the water now in the reser-
voirs.
If the consumers will at once reduce
the amount of water used to the small
est quantity practicable, the necessity
for resorting to river water, which is
said to be polluted with disease germs,
may be avoided.

SPEAKERSHIP FIGHT
OPENS THE CONTEST
OYER LOCAL OPTION
Legislative Leaders Line Up
Forces for or Against Am
bier and Baldwin, With
Liquor Chief Issue.

A sharp fight over local option in the
Legislature is expected by political lead
ers to result from the Speakership fight,
and today both local option and liquor
forces are being lined UP In preparation
for the first test of strength which will
occur at the caucus on January 4. when
the Speaker of the next House will be
selected.
The formal entrance into the Speaker
ship contest of Representative Charles A.
Amber, of montgomery, on Saturday last,
as an avowed local option man. having
apparently the support of Governor-elect
Brumbnugh, precipitated tho sudden call
to arms OF br'h forces.
When Representative Richard j. Bald
win, OF Delaware, In a statement last
night aligned himself with the liquor in
terests against local option and asserted
that he was in the speakership fight to
stay, Notwithstanding The entrance OF
Amber into the contest. all legislative
leaders, big and little, were communl-
Gated with. and today started to line up
the members OF the next House to sup
port either Amber or Baldwin.
WARES SUPPORT AMBLER.
Amber has the open support of the
Wares. whose flrst candidate, William II.
Wilson, of Philadelphia, is now working
hard to further Ainbler's candidacy, and
is credited by political leaders with be-
Ing the Brumbaugh candidate. He
formally announced his candidacy after
Governor-elect Brumbaugh had caused
the slated conference of Senators PEN

rose, McNichol and Ware to be called off
last Friday
The three Senators had previously an
nounced that they would select the
Speaker at that conference. Representa-
tive Amblor had long talk with the Gov
ernor-elcct early OH Friday, and the Re
publican chieitains called off the con-
ference.
Representative Amber on Saturday sent
letters to every member of the House.
declaring that he stood for all of tho
Governor-elect's platform. The evident
determination of tho Governor-e to
fight for the passage OF q local option
bill caused the Wares to drop William
II. Wilson as their candidate. and line up
their faction for Amber, who apparently
has the Brunbaugh stamp of approval
Politicians said today that Senators
Penrosc and McNlchol had decided not to
oppose Ambler's selection rather than
have fight with the Governor on their
hands at the opening of the session.
BALDWIN SAYS HE'LL FIGHT.
Representative Baldwin. who was ap-
parenty leading the field in the race for
the Speakcrship before Amber entered
1t, came TO Philadelphia today and con-
ferred with several OF his friends. II am
in the fight to stay" lie said. land am
confident OF election" He issued a state
ment last night in which he blamed John
X. h. Scott for the opposition to him.
He called Senator Ware "a big buffer"
asserted that allegations OF Governor
elect Brumbaugh's opposition to him had
been put up as a blind. In explaining
his attitude on the liquor question, Bald
win said
I'm Delaware County the local option
forces were defeated by a majority of
5000 votes. 1t so happens that the local
option forces were against me. 1 voted
against local option, but that to me is
n question of personal privilege and
ought not to be considered in the rivalry
for the Speakership."
II Amber is elected Speaker politicians
look for local option to pass the House.
Very few of the members are pledged
to oppose the measure, and the influence
of the Governor, with the Wares working
for him, is expected to line UP many OF
the Representatives who have so far re-
fused to commit themselves. The original
plan OF the liquor interests was said to
have been to kill the measure in the
Senate, IL II passed the House, and liuuor
lobbyists are now working hard to bring
this about.
Governor-elect Brumbaugh would not
discuss the Speakership situation today
and said that he is making no announce
ment concerning any preference he might
have.
Both Senator Penrose and Senator Nc
Nichol are out of the city. Senator Me-
Nichol left for Florida last Friday even
ing und left Senator Penrose to look
after his interests in the fight. Senator
Penrose went to Washington yesterday.
He will return tomorrow afternoon.

TOLLROADS BELIEVED
TO Be DOOMED UNDER
BRUMBAUGH PLANS
Friends Of Governor-elect
Convinced He Will Favor
Acquisition of Highways
by State.

The abolition OF toll roads in Pennsyl-
vania will be ono of the first great public
benefits which Martin G. Brumbaugh will
undertake after he takes the oath Of office
as Governor, according to his intimate
friends.
The Governor-elect has frequently told
his friends that he believes toll roads to
be one OF the greatest evils that exist In
Pennsylvania today and that the State
eventually must take over every one or
them. He is in favor of immediate action
b. the state, said one of his close friends
today, as the roads, which are owned by
private companies and corporations, be-
come more valuable each year
The new Governor Is expected to ask
the next Legislature for a large appro-
priatlon for this purpose. The State now
has the power to take over toll roads and
privately owned turnplkes that form part
of State highway, or connect with
state highway, by outright purchase.
The state Highway Commissioner.
under an act passed by the Legislature in
1pi1 and amended in 1913, is enabled to
take over toll roads for the State by
simply appealing to the courts to estab-
iish fair appraisement of the property.
The present law further provides that II
price cannot be agreed upon the State
Highway Commissioner can condemn
property adjoining the toll roads and
build "a. State road which will compete
with toll roads connecting State high
ways.
Under Commissioner Bigelow about 100
miles of toll roads have been purchased
by the State There still remain almost
1000 miles of these roads that connect
with State. highways. During the last
two years the State has built roads from
Philadelphia to Harrisburg and from
Cthnmha htfrcs 10 Ia IN Data
with toll roads between these places.
When Governor Brumbaugh reorgan-
lies the state Highway Department. as
he has pledged himself to do. the amount
OF money which can be put into good
roads will be greatly increased, due to
the elimination of excessive overhead
charges and of extravagant contracts,
with which the Bigelow administration
has been accused.
, Under the present system of financing
the good roads movement in Pennsylva-
MIA, approximately A.Oo0,000 is available
each year for the construction of the
roads and for the maintenance Of the
State Highway Department. This fund
is derived from automobile license fees,
from State appropriations and from
money returned by counties and town
ships under the State-aid plan of road
building
The total appropriations Of the last two
sessions of the Legislature to the de-
partment have amounted to SO, $4,000. The
new Governor is expected to ask an ap-
preparation of S1O.OO0,00O from the next
Legislature. This amount, together with
the funds from other sources, would give
the State Highway Department about
sl2,0Co.OOO to put into good roads during
the next two years. and would be suffi-
clent TO purchase the toll roads. improve
dirt roads and keep the State highways
IN repair
