GO AFTER SCHOOL TAX
DELlNQUENTS

New Hope-The local Board of Edu-
cation has posted placards thruout
the borough making demands for
payments of sechool taxes. There
seems TO be an unusually large num-
Der of delinquents this year and the
board has experienced such difficulty
in making collections that they have
determined to employ the means pro-
vided by law to secure payments.
The posters state that, "Under the
provisions of the law, Article 8, Sec
ton SOB, providing for the collection
of delinquent school taxes, the School
Board of the Borough of New Hope
herewith announces that all unpaid
Delinquent School Taxes not paid by
September LIST will be posted in con-
spieuous places about the Borough,
stating names and amounts due
Those remaining unpaid will be col
lected as provided for by the law"
Next years taxes become due Sep
TENDER LIST, and the Board is forced
to take this action in order to clear
the books.

TAXPAYER OBJECTS TO
PAVING MIDDLE

Editor Lambertville Record:
About three weeks ago at South
Main and Swan streets leak occur
red in the water pipe leading TO the
Hibernia Engine House. 1t was re-
ported to the Water Company and re-
ceiyed prompt attention. 1t was nee
essaTy to cut out piece Of the as
phalt street, about Axe feet. This
was performed by the water company
in neat and workmanlike way and
the water shut off.
Since that time no attention has
been paid to repairing the street, re-
mai1ing just as left by the water
company, menace to the travelling
public. The water company is re-
9ponsible for replacing any piece of
street it is necessary for them TO tear
up when repairing their pipes; the
blame, however for the failure to
have this street properly repaired is
not Up to the water company.
1t is entirely up TO the City Com
mission, on account Of difference OF
opinion between Street Commissioner
Muirheid and Mayor Moonan and
Commissioner Malloy as to the proper
way to make the repairs.
In the meantime not only is thi:
eyesore permitted TO remain, but tn
lives of travelling autoists are ser
iously menaced
Is this efficiency? Mayor Moonal
and Commissioner Malloy are directl,
responsible. They will not permi

have the repair made according to hi
Judgment; neither will they have i

ment. Is it not about time that thi

of public safety?

BOOT ROOM

The Snag Proof Famous Fire
Fighters were very much on deck in
the York Street fire. In the first
place, Jack Masten and Shirley Nor

threads together. When they found
this would rot work and get the hose
connected properly they sent the wa

on the fire. Bob Justice thought il
was his turn to furnish TIE comedy,
and in his haste to attach the hose to
the fire plug did high back dive and
landed on a pocket full Of matches
thereby supplying private fire all
his own, and plenty of excitement to
boot.
Miss Mary Mary Cruise, of Lam
