The appalling loss ot life as
well a* that of property caused by
fireworks in tbe hands of irresponsible persons on the fourth ot
July has aroused the citizens of
onr larger American cities to the
need of a safe and Bane celebration
of onr national independence. The
board of counoilmen of Bellwood
have wisely passed ao ordinance
tbat a safe and sane fourth ot
July shall bo observed io this
borough and thia ordinance willbe
strictly enforced.. A sense ot
humanity dictates this policy. The
nervous, aged and sick citizens of
Bellwood need not look forward
with fear aad trembling to a noisy
aod distracting Fourth of July.
Oor qitizens should feel grateful
to our Councilmen in their
endeavor to satisfy tbe wishes of
too greater number of ear -people
for a noiseless and sensible cele
bration ot our independence.

Beyond the anticipated natural
increase, tbe receipts ot tbe state
treasury department will be greater by millions of dollars annually
si a result of tbo notion of the last
legislature in providing that the
new Department of Revenue collect moneys heretofore collected
by numerous state institutions.
The Secretary of Revenue, Chas.
A. Johnson, pinna to transmit
funds twioe doily to State Treasurer Edward Martin.
Tbe state treasury hereafter and
lor the first time will receive the
huge sums formerly collected by
state owned insi itu tions for mental
patients, state owned hospitals,
state penal institutions or correctional institutions and stale owned
educational institutions, ths shares
of municipal subdivisions in tbe
cost ot improving and rebuilding
the highways of the commonwealth, moneys due trom the
Federal government, all fees dae
the state from magistrates, burgesses snd mayors, together with
revenues of all other kinds payable to the commonwealth.
On proper requisition tbe treaaary department will also pay tbe
bills incurred by the institutions.
The change in method will not
only result in more efficient management ot the various institutions, but will obviate all chance
of fraud, either ie collections or
payments.     |__£
