walks Any Longer

J. w. McAnulty, burgess of
Blairsville, has submitted to the
borough council a letter protest
ing against the bad condition of
the sidewalks of the town and de-
claring that council must take
steps at once to have the defects
repaired.
The borough has an ordinance
which provides that sidewalks
must be well maintained. The fail
ure of the property owners to do
tlis is a violation of the ordinance
he says, and the failure of the
town council to see that the ordin-
ance Is not lived up to is even
worse
There is likely to be some lively
sidewalk repairing in Blairsville
before long.

NO MORE LOANS
CONTEMPLATED
BY THE ALLIES

New York, Oct. 21-J. p. Nor
gan & Co. announced tonight that
no further public credit loan to
Great Britain and France was
contemplated in the near future.
After the recent $5OOOOO,OOO
loan to these two countries, there
had been rumors that another
loan would be made along some
what similar lines. which includes
public offering of foreign bonds
to investors in this country.
1t now appears from the state
ment issued by the Morgan firm.
that the supplemental credits con
templated to Great Britain and
France are to be banking credits
and will not involve the issuance
Of bonds, which will be offered to
the investing public.

Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh
Railway Spending Quarter Mil
lion Dollars in Improvements

The Buffalo, Rochester q Pitts
burgh Railway Company is re-build-
ing seven thousand coal box, stock
and refrigerator cars and placing
steel underframes under them. dur
ing the past year of business depres-
sion this work was put into effect in
the Company's own shops, although
it is usually customary on most
railroads to have same done by the
car building companies. The object
in this was to keep employed men
who would otherwise have been out
of work.
That the management of the
Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh
Railway is much encouraged by the
general business outlook is indicated
by plans for Improvements involving
an expenditure of over q quarter of a
million dollars during the fall months.
An order has been placed with the
American Locomotive Company for
twenty two boilers to be applied to
engines. A total of thirty seven
locomotives will be equipped with
superheating apparatus and Walls
charet valve gears. An air compress
sing plant will be installed and a new
blacksmith and machine shop erected
at Du Bois. A considerable sum
will be expended on apparatus for
repairing storage batteries used in
the coaches equipped with electric
lights.

Railroad detectives and town
police authorities are making a
strong effort to break up the Sc
ries of robberies which have been
occurring with startling regulari-

lick.
Freight is transferred from the
Conemaugh division to the Cres-

frequently delayed several hours
in waiting for movement. This
gives the thieves an excellent
chance to clean up; and scores
Of cars are being broken into. Loot
amounting to hundreds of dollars

B R. & P. President
Takes Optimistic View
MINES ARE DOING BETTER
Tonnage Is Increasing at Rapid
Rate; Past Year Had Been
Discouraging One

President William T. Noonan.
of the b., R. & p. was a recent
visitor over the local division of
the road and in conversation he
expressed himself in very optimis-
tic terms III regard to the future,
especially of this section Of the
country. He stated that coal bus
mess was picking up to a large ex-
tent and that the railroad was
hauling larger tonnage than had
been the case for some time. Mr..
Noon is of the opinion that busi-
ness conditions throughout the
country are improved to a large
extent and there is every reason
TO believe that this particular sec,
tion will benefit largely by the
stimulated trade conditi II s
throughout the United States.
Local officials of the B., r. & p.
also stated that conditions are i'm
proving steadily ON the Pittsburg
and Middle divisions and that the
tonnage originating in the coal
producing territory has increased
very largely during the past seve-
raj months. Trade conditions were
away below normal on the B. r.
& P for over a year, bat officials
state that it has increased rapid
ly within the last several weeks
and that the same steady develop
ment of shipping will soon see the
tonnage increased to normal.
The mines in the Indiana and
Jefferson county fields are RUM
ing better right along and the out
look promises a continuance Of the
improved conditions.
