At meeting of the Building AS
sociation of London Grove, Pa, held
Nov. /, the stockholders agreed to
an increase of the capital stock from
one million to five million dollars.
This was done in order to keep up
with the increase of business of the
Association, which has grown rapid
ly in recent years. Over so years
ago the first stock was subscribed,
and in the year 1911 the capital was
Increased from half million to a
million.
Politics and hard cider caused
some regular old time ante-prohibi-
tion knock down and drag out argu-
ments and blood spilling last Friday
and Saturday in this town, but we
have not heard of any warrants
being issued by our Commissioners
or arrests made of any of the peace
disturbers.
1t surely ought not be much OF
task for the Commissioners to get
the names of the participants in the
disgraceful affairs, as the parties
are all well-known and can easily be
located. If our town bailiff is not
able to cope with the situation 1t
would seem the deputizing OF some
one who is, would be in order, or
the matter placed in the hands OF
the Sheriff. A few arrests and
good stiff fines administered would
have q wholesome effect of curbing
these llaw-breaking brawlers.
