LOANS WOULD
HELP BOROUGH
Committee Points Out Advan-
tages of Approving Paving
and Fire Measures

AT a meeting of a special committee
of the Municipal League in the offices
of Attorney w. T.. Darby last evening
the proposed loans to be voted upon
next Tuesday were heartily endorsed.
The committee decided to do all that
is possible to help secure passage OF
the two bond issues and pointed out
many reasons why the voters should
ratify the measures.
1t is planned to float a loan of
$4,000 for motor fire apparatus and
garbage trucks and another loan of
$4,000 for street paving. The com
mittee pointed out that it would be to
the advantage of the firemen to boost
the paving loan so that they may have
paved streets for their motor appa-
ratus and showed that with the many
steep hills in the borough 1t is almost
necessary to have paved streets if 1t is
planned to motorize the fire depart
ment.
1t was also pointed out that passage
OF the fire loan will likely make a
reduction in fire insurance rates and
that tax rate increase of only about
1 mill will be required to pay the In
terest and sinking fund expenses of
the loans if passed. This would mean
an increase of only 10 cents a year in
taxes upon a man whose occupation
alone is taxed.

cluded G. S. Davis. Charles Beidel, E.
II. Mengle, Walter Keister, &. w.

Pittsburgh. Pa, May 10. - Three

now desire to return will have to make
application through the employment

tion in other parts of the Turtle Creek
Valley was declared by factory man
ayers to be improved, and more men
returned to work at McKees Rocks
where employees of the Pressed Steel
Car Company have been striking.

For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Here in America there is much suf-
ferinG from catarrh and head noises.
American people would do well to con-
slider the method employed by the Eng
lish to combat this insidious disease.
Everyone knows how damp the English
climate is and how dampness affects
those suffering from catarrh. In Eng
land they treat catarrhal deafness and
mead noises as a cons titutional disease
ana use an internal remedy for it that
is really very efflcacious.
sufferers who could scarcely hear a
watch tick tell how they had their
hearing restored h.. this English treat
ment to such an extent that the tick of
a watch was plainly audible seven and
eight inches away from either ear.
Therefore. If you know someone who
is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal
deafness or head noises, cut out this
formula and hand it to them and YOU
VIII have been the means of saving
some poor sufferer perhaps from total
deatness. The prescription can be cas-
ily prepared at home for about T5c and
is made as follows:
