One of these days City Clerk Char
A. Miller, who has just completed
of the most useful city official dire
ories ever compiled, is going to tu
his attention to the history of borou
days. For several years Mr.. Miller \
been giving attention to the gatheri
OF data relating to the period betwe'
the first Incorporation of H@Frisbu
and Its erection into city. He
some OF the old minute books,
though some were burned in fire tf
destroyed the borough offices abb
100 years ago. However, old lett
and documents that may be held
private persons may assist in coupli
up some of the borough history. n
Miller is exceptionally qualified to u
dertake the work.
Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh,
though out of the State and on the vi
10 the Pacific coast, is getting a
OF mail as the result of publicity giV|
letter written to him last week By
young man living near Cincinnati, vi

while here for the weekend, but 4
letters came after he had left
Capitol for his trip. The letters I
from women of various ages, who Z
asking that the Governors office
that the communications reach 4
swain in the Buckeye State, all of I
letters being more or less personal al
intended for the eye of the you
man with an ideal. The Governo'
office is forwarding the letters.
though this is the first time it II
been called upon to act as assist I
matrimony.
Some pathetic letters are being
ceived at departments of the StI
government because of the restrictH
character of the amendment to I
mothers pension act passed by I
recent General Assembly Under {
terms of an opinion given by the lei
department to Auditor General A.
Powell. only women whose husbaI'
are dead or permanently insane q
receive pensions. This has had
effect OF striking from the list desert
mothers, and some of them are md
ing appeals to State officials in
hope of getting pensions restorT
The situation is an unpleasant one I
cause the officials cannot do anytht
to help the situation, much as tn
would like to do.

wildwood dam, Paxton creek vail
would have been flooded as scarcl
ever in its history" said A. C. Deed
who happened to be in Wildwd
Park fishing when the storm of 81
urday night broke. For a timd
thought the spillway that carries
the water into the river at the upi
end Of the dam would not be sufficiI
to care for the food. I looked fol
to go over the top of the dam, so Il
Did Paxton creek pour its water do
