EXTRATELEPHONE
LINE NOT NEEDED
State Supreme Court Decides
Against Request of Perry
County Company

New Bloomfield, Pa. June 25.-
Efforts of the Perry County Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company TO
provide better telephone service be-
tween New Bloomfield and Newport
have been put to an end by the re-
cent confirmation by the Supreme
Court of the State of n lower court
decision refusing permission Cor the
construction of an additional line.
r. J. Kakibbin, of Green Park,
general manager, and other officials
of the telephone company, desired
permission to construct an addi-
tional line between the two boroughs,
a distance of about six miles, claim
ing that the large number of phones
in the two places and in the distance
intervening, warranted an additional
line to afford proper service. Per-
mission to construct the line was de-
MED by the Public Service Commits
sion during the past winter and an
appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court. II is held that the present
line, together with that of the Cum
berland Valley Company. rerders an
additional line unnecessary.

FIREMEN IGNORE
LIMIT OF SPEED
Lewistown Ordinance Fails
to Keep Companies to Slow
Pace When Fires Occur

LevistOwn, Pa, June 25.-Borough
Council few days ago passed an
ordinance restricting the first COM
panies of the town to is miles an
hour speed limit in the borough. The
firemen said. when they received no
tice to this effect. that no attention
would be paid to this limit Chief
Tom" Johnson, said the companies
are not going to limit their speed to
Is miles an hour; that a minute
means a whole lot to person when
property is on fire. He said, I'VE are
not going to run like wild men, but
we are going there at a reasonable
speed"
Two alarms of fire yesterday morn
ing afforded the first test of the en-
forcement of the speed limit set by
Council. With orders in his posses
sion from Council to enforce the law
Chief of Police Yeaman notified the
Junction Fire Company on their way
back from a fire yesterday that they
had exceeded the speed limit of is
miles an hour. Yeaman says he will
lay information as per his orders
against the Junction Fire Company,
if he can find Justice of the Peace
who will take the case for prosecu-
tion.
