8 COMMISSIONERS
TOO BUSY To TAKE
SUMMER VACATION
Mayor Wanted One Bad, but
Finally Withdrew "LOafing"
Resolution

City Commissioners Bowman, Lynch
and Taylor will be too busy this sum-
mer working out the citys public inn
provement problems and transacting
other business of Harrisburg to take
a vacation.
That's the sentiment the three ex-
pressed this afternoon when Mayor
John K. Royals resolution amending
the rules so as to provide but one
meeting a month came up.
So Mayor Royal reluctantly with
drew his resolution.
Commissioner Bowman mentioned
that he had some water pipe contracts
and numerous other jobs to occupy
his attention. Commissioner Lynch
spoke of the repair work. sewer jobs
and many other problems of like
character to work out; Commissioner
Taylor spoke of the park problems
that will occupy his attention through
out the summer. All three have said
ever since Mr.. Royal offered his
measure that they will be busy and
desired to give the taxpayers the bene-
fit of their time. To take a vacation
would necessitate special meetings.
lin withdrawing his measure Mayor
Royal said he couldn't see the neces-
sity for meeting right along each week
when, in his opinion, there wasn't
much to be done. Commissioner Cor
gas didn't say a word.
Tiff Over .Arbitrators' Award
Council had another little tiff over
the arbitrators' award in the w. H.
Opperman interceptor controversy
when Commissioner Gorgas offered a
resolution directing council to settle
with the contractor for the full ver-
dict of $22,767.09. And when Com
missioner Lynch asked that the meas
ure go over for a week in accordance
with councilnanic rules, Mr.. Gorgas
said that there was enough money in
the 'interceptor fund to pay the award
-$23, 1868.
whats charged against that?" in
quired Mr.. Lynch.
Nothing that / know of so far as
the books show said Mr.. Gorgas.
Don't you know that by the terms
of the contract with Sucker Brothers
about $4,000 or more of that is with
held for the fifteen per cent. estimate
pending the completion of the job?'
That might possibly be true said
Mr.. Gorgas.
THAT is true" promptly returned

A Remarkable Toad.

The toad Of Surinam, Dutch Guiana,
b very remarkable in one respect 1t
first awakes to life while on its moth
er's back. When the eggs are Laid the
male takes them In his broad paws
and contrives to place them on the
back of it's mate, where they adhere
by means Of glutinous secretion and
by degrees become embedded in a Be-
ries Of curious cells formed for them
In the skin. When the process Is COM
pleted the cells are closed by kind OF
membrane, and the back Of the female
toad bears n strong resemblance to q
piece of dark honeycomb when the
cells are filed and closed. Here the
eggs are Matched, and In these strange
receptacles the young pass through
their first stages Of life, not emerging
until they have attained their limbs
and can move about on the ground
Over 12O eggs have been counted upon
the back Of single Surinam toad
