Deputy State Highway Commission
er Joseph w. Hunter paid $4,000 for
the Doylestown-Dublin turnpike, be-
tween Chalfont and the county lire,
at the County Commissioner Office
this morning. The toll gates will
now be abolished
BristoPs annual cleanup, just com
pleted, will be the towns last yearly
event of this nature The Department
of Public Works has found so many
drawbacks to the plan, that a daily
system of collection will be installed.
and residents will be urged to "keep
clean" all the time, instead of allowing
waste matter to accumulate for a year
for removal in one brief week. It is
calculated that the daily collection
system will be scarcely more costly,
and that there will be decided i'm
provement in appearance and health.

The Presbyterian congregation of
Morrisville, whose church was re-
Gently damaged by fire to the extent
of about $500, has instructed the
trustees to proceed with the repairs,
and at the congregational meeting it
was determined to canvass the town
for funds to supplement the amount
received from insurance.
With the increased cost of every
thing necessary to conduct the public
schools, the directors of Morrisville
are confronted with a serious problem
and, while they are reluctant to in
crease the tax rate, it has been found
necessary to add at least four or five
mills to the present school tax. Nor
risville now pays IS mills for its
schools, and, while several of the di-
rectors are said to favor an increase
to rs mills, it is hardly likely the rate
will exceed % mills this year. The
limit that can be levied is 25 mills
and with budget of more than $751;
900 for next term, the highest as
sessment will not provide for it.
