Jamison for Everything Is
about in shape for the introduction OF
the Chester county supply bill and the
measure viii probably be introduced
tomorrow night. 1t is estimated that
the gasoline tax will provide about 30,
900 In revenue. which under ordinary
conditions would permit Of the countys
levy being reduced about one mill uhe
county is said to be about $4,000 IN
debt, however, and the necessity OF

anybody about who has an idea that

and compelling,y than story Of sew
eral columns might do. According to

.rons to the tune of $4,000" 1t is prob
able that many were fieeced who were
prepared to stand a financial JOSS;

into gamblers by the bucketshop, VINO

at. hand might have been hard work
ing, attentive TO business, and success
full, but whose lives are IN large
measure ruined. Chester needs no
such temptation for young and old
alike; and it is to be hoped that those
who are chosen to office from year to
year will continue to be men who have
this same conception of the bucket
shop..........--A negro by the name Of J.
