Councils Vocation Ended
Sun Liaht On Drainage Cures PaPaIy-

Health To Citizens. Trolley
Franchise Passed.

The Mayor and Council held their
regular fortnightly meeting ON Tues
day evening. Mayor Willis presided.
Councilmen Naylor, Lummis, Dolbow,
Blohm, Holman were present, all but
Mr.. Holton.
The ordinance granting a franchise
to the Salem and Penns Grove Trac-
ton Company to lay a trolley track
on the streets of Penns Grove Bor-
ough was finally passed.
A delegation of citizens from Salem
were present to witness the passage Of
the ordinance granting the franchise.
They were T. q. billiard, attorney for
the company; }. G. Smashey, John j.
Hart, j. 5. Wheeler, W. s. Sinnickson
Arthur b. Smith and Harry g. Hart.
Salem City, Lower Penns Neck and
Upper Penns Neck townships have
passed similar franchise ordinances
and the Company's attorney will pre-
sent them to the Public Utilities Com
mission in a few weeks. After the
legal procedures are passed upon,
work will begin soon on construction.
Mr.. Naylor, chairman of the Street
Committee, reported that he and Mr..
Denny, president of the Board of
Health, had gone over the Borough
and viewed the drains in accordance
with the action and recommendations
of the Board of Health at the meeting
last Friday night, and had decided
which were storm sewer drains for
the Borough to keep cleaned out and
which were private drains for proper
ty owners to keep cleaned out.
On motion it was ordered that the
drains be cleaned out at once.
lie also reported that pipe had been
laid from the head of Delaware ave-
nue. to the river to take the water off
the streets. This had been made nee
essary because Pitman meadow had
been filed in higher than the end of
the avenue.
On motion it was ordered that the
$3.50 ordered raised in the tax budget
for the Board of Health be placed to
their disposal with the collector of
taxes and that other funds will be at
their disposal as needed.

taken, the larger the percentage for
/ collection.
After the personal responsibility for
the conditions was threshed out, a mo-
ton was passed that the president of
the Board of Health and the chairman
of the Street Committee, A. r. Nay
Tor, who favored cleaning out the
bitches, go over the Borough and de-
eide which are storm water sewers,
which drain the streets of the Bor-
ough and which are tributary drains
for property owners to clean out.
They did so last Monday.
A motion was also passed that the
Sanitary Code be revised to remove
the heavy fines which are a greater
mulct than the State law and codes of
cities impose.
L. C. Coney has been engaged to do
the scavengering under directions of
the Board of Health, and individuals
will pay for the removal of garbage,
rubbish, etc.
AS the sanitary tangle is now un-
raveled our good administering an
gels, the State Board of Health, may
now assume a serene attitude of mind
that Penns Grove citizens will contin-
ue to enjoy good health without any
fear of bacteria coli, harmless mi
crobes, nor of malignant microbes.
They will continue to drink their
wholesome we'll water and die in old
g as most have done the last ten
months between the ages of 70 and 80
years.
1t is a unanimous opinion that tTe
biggest nuisance in Penns Grove is
the health inspector. The greatest
fear the citizens have is the water
snakes, the sewer serpent and the cor
poration v%ultures who see fat pick
ings ON the loins of Penns Grove.
Circumstantial evidence seems strong
that those are the invisible influence

wonders to perform.

Try This If You
Have Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruff completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-
tirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to rnoisten the scalp and rub it
in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, If not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruf you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft and look and feel
q hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need This simple
remedy has never been known to fail.

Burlington Gazette: At the closing
hours Of the Iowa legislature bill to
appropriate 100000 for the purpose
of securing the physical valuation Of
the railroads of Iowa was headed off
The bill had passed the senate, but
upon reconsideration was killed. Sen
ator Allen, who is credited with hav-
ing gubernatorfal aspirations, was
sponsor for the bill and Senator
Frailey Of Lee county openly charged
that he purpose Of the measure was
to enable Senator Allen to build up
political machine IN each county of
the state. Senator Thompson Of this
county also opposed the bill. The
motives in bringing in a measure of
this kind are certainly open to sus-
picion. In the first place, the proceed
ing was utterly unnecessary. Many
millions have been appropriated by
the federal government to secure the
valuation of all the railroads in the
country. Commissions are now at
work on the big task. The most ex-
pert service that could be procured is
employed and the Iowa railroads will
be inventoried with those of other
states. So why should the state Of
Iowa attempt haphazard undertak.
ing of this sort when the state needs
the money for other purposes?

SUNDAY AUTO DEATH TOLL.

Six people we're killed and many
others were injured in Sunday auto
accidents. In each fatal instance the
fault was with the driver of the auto,
says the Burlington Gazette. One or
the accidents was caused by col.
lision with street car and the others
by the capsizing Of the autos, due to
travelling at excessive speed. The
automobile, handled with care, Is d
vehicle OF pleasure. 1t is safe and
swift means Of transit and the cav
tious driver rarely has an accident
unless it is occasioned by some recK-
less driver colliding with him. The
automobile itself cannot be held to
blame. It is q useful and obedient
servant with proper manipulation. En-
trusted in the hands of speed maniacs
utterly without consideration of their
own safety or the safety Of others,
the motor car becomes an in
strument of death and destruction.

The Mississippi River.

Geo. Wrightman in Iowa Factories:
Two men, an American and a Ger
man, were enjoying quiet evening
over some good cigars, on a varanda
overlooking the Rhine, at Heidelberg,
a couple of years ago. The American
was man of worldwide business in
terests; the German had large inter-
ests in many parts of Europe and
Asia, but had never crossed the At
lantic.
Naturally the subject of rivers came
UP. The American described the Mis-
sissippi, its great length and volume
of water, its gently inclined bed, its
great arms embracing the continent.
He told of the indescribable richness
and vast extent of it's basin, the plea
SAINT, healthful climate universal
throughout the whole valley and the
life and scenery of never failing In
terest which unfold along the banks
with every mile as the gtreat flood
rolls in majesty to the sea.
Wonderful, wonderful" said the
German. What gift to that great
continent! can see your great keen,
lively, enterprising American nation
using that great stream to the utmost
You are so quick to perceive and
grasp, you Americans. What vivid
scene of teeming life it must present,
from the Twin City to the gulf at it
cleaves the east from the west. sup
pose 1t is almost one vast city. And
what pleasure boats, house boats and
excursions! You have interested me;
will go to America just to see that
wonderful river"
The silence that followed was op-
pressive. The poor American was
abashed and lost He was cropping
about in the dark attic Of his brain for
some possible explanation as to why
the Germans picture does not fit the
river. To him, as to nearly all Amer
leans, the Mississippi river is still "a
stream of water flowing through the
land. Primary geography, page 8.
There may be psychological rea-
son for it, not yet worked out, as to
why our wonderful, majestic river is
so little used and enjoyed by Ameri-
cans Perhaps future generations may
solve the riddle. But the fact remains
that it would be a credit to Ameri-
cans If they spent their vacations In
house boats, trips and excursions on
the great river, and were less seen
scattering their wealth in dead and
barren lands.
The Panama canal has started
movement to compel the Mississippi
valley to use the river as matter OF
business salvation. The movement
has the look of something inevitable.
This generation may yet see the river
used.
Great rivers have always been
loved, some Of them worshipped.
Think OF the Rhine, the Danube, the
Ganges, the Yangtse II you have any
heart you will understand why when
you stand on the hills above our
greatest, most beautiful of all rivers
