$1,000 a Year Sinking Fund

81, 800 a Year Sinking Fund
The borough will pay the other so
per cent by setting aside $1,000 from
the road account each year. This is
the amount it now costs to maintain
Bullsferry road. The 800 will be
put in the sinking fund and used to
pay the notes. This course will make
the taxation a general one, but will
not add to the taxes owing to the
fact that the road work will be guar
anteed for a number of years. In
short; the road appropriation will be
the same each year, but instead of
using $1,000 to keep Bullsferry road
in repairs the amount will be used to
pay off the debt of the improvement
This arrangement was considered a
good one.
Curbs and Cutters $4,000
Owing to the fact that the State
does not allow any money for curbs
and cutters this assessment will have
to be levied against the property
benefited. The engineers estimated
this work at $4,000 which will bring
the cost of the entire improvement
to $4,000. Two contracts will have
to be let for the work, as the curb
and gutter contract cannot be en-
tered in the one which the State has
to do with.

Board of F'reeholders are consider
ing very seriously the proposition of
turning the road back to the borough.
But the town does not want it, so
it was said, unless the county officials
put it in better condition.
Trolley in Doubt
The question as to whether or not
the trolley people are going to run
cars down Bullsferry road was
brought up, but it was the general
opinion that hope in this direction is
weak. The trolley company evident
ly, is not very anxious to use the
road.

be pushed with all possible haste.

Reu. Lewis SoysLeauen
Works In Mormons

Rev. Edwin T. Lewis, former rector
of Trinity Church, Grantwood, and
now of Logan, Utah, occupied Trim
ity's pulpit on Sunday morning. A
large congregation was present to
greet their old-time spiritual leader
and friend and to hear from his lips
the story of his activities of the last
three years in the far west.
The visiting rector brought to his
hearers a message of encouragement
from the great sand State and its
half million inhabitants. Present-day
Mormonism under the living Joseph
Smith, he said, is greatly altered
from the Mormonism established by
Joseph F.. Smith as a result of his
professed revelation many years ago.
To-day's Mormons are very much the
same as other simple farming folk;
happy, healthy, contented, and agree
able.
But to many the title Mormon was
a byword, and why? Well, it was
largely because of the Mormon fuse
to-be's." To-day, the Mormons of
Utah, which means practically the
entire citizenry of the State, are
wonderfully organized, socially, &C.
Realistically and politically. In the
days of the prophet they were fan
atics, a strong point of whose creed
was polygamy and whose governors
were autocrats' Of their bodies and
souls. To-day, the polygamists were
the great exception, and they were
by no means the best off in the
State. Polygamy belonged to the
generation which ended in 1890. So
did the horrible cult of blood-atone-
ment. To-day the Church was or
gained ward by ward and block by
block more completely probably than
any body in the world. Enjoyments
of every kind were provided for the
people and their general well-being
cared for. Then what, if anything
was there to criticize in Mormonism.
Well, for one thing, the people were
largely from the peasant stock of
Europe, were close to the ground, and
were encouraged to keep close to the
ground. They took their religion as
it was handed to them without
question. Their bishops were simply
business managers or church wardens.
There was no progress in their re-
igion; there was no difference to
them between the first chapters of
Genesis and the new Testament.
The Mormons, which means Utah,
were in the hands of two men: SEN
ator Smoot and the Presiding Bishop.
These men had absolute control of
the finances of the organization
amounting to over $100,000,000, and
made no accounting for it. But the
people were beginning to think; the
public schools were teaching democ-
racy, and other churches were be-
ginning to exert their influence. The
ker1 said that the policy of the,
naHtA | Church in Utah under
mes was not to combat or
sincere beliefs Of the Nor
mons, but to set an example of rever-
ent worship and noble conduct, and
to point the way to a higher and
freer spiritual Development.
