strr,cted when and as the materials

an expensive undertaking, but will

any conditions facing the commune

is too big to be undertaken in any
thing like the near future in the
opinion Of several of the council
men.
However, the tentative plans for
the plant will probably be added to
the plans as now submitted and
then later the matter of financing
will be undertaken. The council
is towing with the idea of making
a toll charge for the use of the
sewer facilities as has already been
done in some other localities. How
ever in the cases noted the city
also owned and operated the
municipal water system and the
charges were based upon per-
centage of the water charges. With
the PP&L operating the local
water system this plan appears
difficult to put into operation, un-
less the power company could be
induced to add the charges to their
monthly statements.

Home Town Paper

Dear Mr.. Reed:
take this means of expressing
my appreciation of your sending
me the home town paper. Be-
lieve me, it certainly helps.
There is very little to tell re-
garding my naval career as I have
been stationed ashore from the be-
ginning. AT present am attached
to this station as dispatcher for
the transportation department, a
job which is very interesting as we
handle practically all movements
of men and material to and from
this base.
We here are all hoping and
praying for those taking part in
the present invasion; hoping its
success will enable our boys to
come home again very soon.
Thanking you again for the
paper, Very sincerely yours,

John L. Vas Still a Callow Youth

The pace took its toll, as John

young Jim Corbett.
For all his roughness when in
Lis cups, Sullivan disliked the
brutality of bare-knuckle fight
ing under London Prize Ring
rules and inveighed against
them. He condemned them as
too dirty"
Fighting under Marquis of
Queensbury rules before gen.
tlemen is a pleasure" he said.
ITO the other element it becomes
a brawl."
In his later years Sullivan
lectured in favor of Prohibition.
Before his death in February,
1918, he had become a teetotal-
err.
John L. was one who knocked
