 Take No Action On Street Work
Complaint From Burgess on Grove Street Cnrbs Stirs
 Up Tempest-False Alarm Rung Last Night

At last night meeting, Warden Whittemore Submitted a proposal to the residents of the street that he explained he thought was very fair.
 He proposed that the work be done, the borough paying 60 per cent of the cost of the work and the property owners the other 40 per cent. The property owners to relay their own sidewalks.
 Burgess Johnson immediately stated that the proposition was not acceptable, that in the opinion of the residents the borough should stand all of the expense as the present condition of the curbing and gutters was the fault of poor installation at the outset. Joseph Doran, Edwin Anderson and Oscar Richardson other owners of prop. erty on the street also voiced ob- jection to having to pay any of the cost of the curbing installation. Mr Anderson stated that he would accede to paying the 40 per cent if the borough would agree to stand 50 per cent of the cost of laying the sidewalks.
 Burgess Johnson attributed the cause of the damage to drainage from Park avenue which had un. dermined the curblng. It was his contention th9t drainage should have been provided when the curb ing was originally set.
 The curbing Burgess Johnson admitted had been set about 20 years ago. It started to 60 bad hs stated, about two years after the work was done and had continued ever since to set worse.

MURDER GARAGE
EXPLAINED BY
'BLUEBEARD'

MOUNDSVILLE, w. Va, March
is U.N.S0.-Three days before he
is to be hanged, Harry F. Powers,
the Clarksburg "mail-order Lo-
thario," today dictated state
ment designed to set the world
right about what has been called
his murder garage"
The building at Quiet Dell,
where the bodies of Mrs. Dorothy
PresSler Lemke, of Northboro,
Mass, and four others were
found, was not a garage at all,
Powers declared. but "a temper,
ary store room to store building
material for home intended to
be built there"
No. Mention of Bodies
No mention of the finding OF
the bodies was made by Powers.
His statement said:
''It has always been referred
to as a garage. And it has
been stated it was sOund-prOOf
subterranean. Not one of these
inSinuatiOnS is true. 1t is not
a garage and was never in
tended to be used as such.
"As to its being sound proof
that is another lie from be-
ginning to end. Far from be-
ing subterranean, it extended
fully four feet above the sur
face. It was exactly like any
nfhnp haSnvraonk
'Tt was my intention to con-
struct a home there. And
since the property is located
in the country, it was neces-
sary to provide place to store
cement, lumber, nails and
tools.
WILL HANG FRIDAY
This is the real truth about
the building at Quiet DELL"
Powers is to be hanged at
8 p. m. Friday for the murder
of Mrs. Lemke.

 Washington. August 25 = (UP) - Chairmen of Federal Reserve District Ranking and Industrial committees assembled here today to be told by the administrations that many of them are tagging in; the fight against depression.
 Thea meeting was preliminary to the presidents economic confer ences of committee members to- morrow. More than 100 were ex- pected here for the full. conference.
 Banking and indystrial commit- tees were formed about two months ,s ago. Administrations leaders are understood to feel that some of them have not functioned. President Hoover considers achievements of the Pacific coast district and some others, un- named. to be connmendable. Others are to zbe "stimulated" at the con- ference. The aim primarily is to increase the use of credit either by making 1t more readily obtain. able 6t by stimulating q demanu for 1t.
 loan restrictions by passing the Glass Steagall bill. The adminis- tration emergency relief program has been designed largely to prO- tect banks willing to extend credit. Despite these efforts, loans by member banks of the reserve sys- tenn steadily have declined.
 The rate. of decline was con- stant throughout 1881 and contin- ued uninterrupted in 1892. Pres ident Hoover feels the credit strain began to relax in June.s Sta ! tistics skow that industry did not make use of the credit. A late re- port shows, decline of $49,000,- 900 ings member bank loans or which considerable part rep resented Y reduced commercial borrowing. V @5;3s; ". 4
 Confereess summoned to meet to- day at the treasury and tomorrow at the commerce department will be urged 10 consider the twin problem of pcfsuading banks to loan readily and of persuading potential borrowers that now IS the time to put money to work.
