COUNCIL TO ACT
ON Big PROBLEMS
West Side Sewer, Railroad
Crossing and Bond Issue
Ordinance on Schedule

Borough council will meet this even
ing with one of the heaviest schedules
in months.
Among the important ordinances to
come up for action will be the measure
granting the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company the right to establish three
additional grade crossings in the West
Side in building it's proposed freight
spur into the Bethlehem steel plant
and the companion measure which
provides for a new sewer system to
drain the upper end and West Side of
the borough at the joint expense of the
borough, steel company and railroad.
Just what action will be taken on
these measures, councilmen wouldn't
predict to-day.
Another important question to settle
this evening is the dispute between
council and the United States Wood
Block Preserving Company over the
paving of Front street. 1t is under
stood that the company has acquieSced
in the borough's demands and will re-
pair the street. Should this be done
without lawsuit, it would be big
victory for borough council. The paw
ing company has repeatedly refused to
live up to the terms of it's guarantee
and repave the damaged portions of
the street. Council several months ago
| retained Nelson P. Lewis. of New
York city, leading civil engineer, to
handle the borough's interests.
1t is likely that council will complete
the necessary red tape tonight to per-
NIT early issuance of the SIS, 900 bond
issue for street paving and purchase
of motor fire apparatus.

United States Senators and a State
Legislature will be chosen.
The State officers are now Demo-
cratic and that party has one United
States Senator and one of the four
Congressman.
In 1914 the Progressives cast 49,
226 votes for Governor. How their
vote would split to-day was a matter
of dispute.
Both sides claim they will receive
sufficient Progressive support to carry
the election.
The polls opened at 6 o'clock and
must close not later than 5 p. m. Many
returns will be slow as some twenty
towns and plantations are without

ELECTION IN DOUBT.

At time of going to press the election returns are not sufficient to designate the choice of president. The result in eight states is yet uncertain. Con. neotiout goes for Hughes by plurality of 6OOO and the republicans elect the state officers, Senator Mclean and all the congressman with the exception of the first district where Lonergan defeated Oakley. The states that are undecided are California, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Dakota and Oregon, and New Hampshire is so close that the democrats in that state have asked for a recount. Congress is also in doubt and the democrats may possibly he in the lead by one or two votes. The senate will remain under the democratic control with reduced majority of 10 or 12. The last figures obtainable gave Wilson 251 electorial votes and Hughes 242

|. care not now humble the circum- stances of any reader may be, they are not too humble to enable him or her to begin to save and to prepare for the time in life when the vacation of old age must be taken. Remember that the earlier you begin the more you will have and that if you save but d cent a day at the end of the year you will have set aside nearly $4. That is some thing to begin with.
 Persons are heard to say. ''l cant save; don't know how. and I can save so little that it never will amount to .anything!' All wrong. You can save. If you begin with only a single cent, q five cent piece, dime or a dollar.
 The principal point to remember is that your money will earn something for you if you will only set it aside for that purpose, and it will work day and night while you are sleeping, working or resting. One hundred dollars in the savings bank at the end of the year will be worth $1O4 as it will earn per cent interest. The same amount invested in a good bond will earn you $5 or $6 by the close of the year
 Better than all, you will have estab- lished the habit of thrift and saving. When once you have accumulated a -$1OO bond or two the rest will come much easier, and you~will be surprised and delighted to realize that you are not left without means of support. It is good thought to be ready for the vacation that must come with old age Jasper in Ieslie's Weekly.

 There are many written laws in Eng land which the unwritten law permits us to break. One of the most surpris ing of these is playing football. Strict ly speaking, football is illegal.

 "Why don't you take the pledge?' This piece of advice is offered every day by magistrates to what the police call confirmed drunks'' when they ap- pear in the courts, and excellent advice 1t is. But, all the same, in offering it the magistrate is breaking law him. self F According to an act of Edward WIS reign, which has never been repealed people who conspire with or induce others to abstain from certain drinks and foods are liable to Imprisonment as rogues and vagabonds. You may take the pledge yourself, but you may not advise other people to.
