Of sand clay and is the regulation

district finances was heavy, yet it was
deemed advisable to build permanent

built. II cost S400 for construction
and those who have driven over it
say that the gravel road is soft on

Supervisor Alston has been giving
special attention TO road drainage.
He secured a traction engine ana
with road seraper mas opened all

get a chance to run off and not cut
into the roads.
Commissioner Fouracre has decided
to resurface the stone road from
Odessa to Middletown and the three
miles of road between Cooch's Bridge

come in for due attention. Contractor

DON'T Want MONEY.
ONLY RECOGNITION
New Fairview Firemen Jar
Council Members With
An Odd Request
REQUEST GOES
OVER FOR WEEK

City Council as committee Of tile
whole was Jared last night when it
was said that the Fairyiew Fire
Company, which was recently organ
lied in the Eleventh ward, did not
want recognition from Council for
the purpose Of asking for an appro-
priation. William Greenwell. the
spokesman of the party, lauded the
company as to its personnel and said
that if recognition was not granted
the company by the city at this time
that the company would be back to
Council at every opportunity until
recognition is given. Mr. GreenweH
said the company had the endorse
ment Of all the manufacturing inter-
ests in the section Of the city and ha
read letters from the Jessup and
Moore Paper Company the PhiladeI-
phia and Reading Railroad Company.
the A. L. Henderer and Sons Com
pany, Trump Brothers Machine Con-
pany and the American yulcanized
Fibre Company All Of these hrmi
recommended that the new fire com
pany be given recognition on tho
ground that that section Of the city
needs better fire protection.
Mr.. Greenwell explained that
money was not being sought by the
firemen, as all the financial backing
necessary had been assured them.
Mr.. Greenwell also explained that the
new firemen realize the city IS bur
dened with many heavy expenditures
and requests for larger appropria-
tions, and therefore they did not,
want to ask of Council something
which they could not very well afford
to give. He asked that if the city
could do nothing else for the Fairview
Company that they install in their en-
gine house an indicator TO he con-
nected with the fire alarm circuits
throughout the city.
Councilman McDermott said that
the new company was not seeking
city money ana suggested that Coun-
Gil recess to the Mayors office to con-
slider the request for recognition
Councilman Stover objected, saying
he wanted to know what the firemen
wanted If il was not money
Mr.. McDermott said he could aN-
plain that, but before he had chance
to do so, his motion tc recess vas
carried, although some members op-
posed it. Mr.. White ruled that furth-
er discussion would have to he he'd
in the Mayors office. There il was
decided to defer action until next
