Prom Now on Board of Health Will Enforce tbe Law -
During the past few years tbe
board of health has not enforced
the law relative to the keeping of
pigs within* tbe   borough  limits
and a number ot citizens took ad-
vantag**   of   tbe   opportunity   t>
bave a couple fine porkers   to   be
slaughtered in tbe fill.    We  understand that   in   the   future tbe
board ot health   ot   the  borough
will enforce the law.    This  is its
it should be,  as the   keeping ot
hogs   within   tbe   borough    hns
caused much bitter complaint to
be offered up by  neighbors   who
have been compelled to endure the
nasty odor emitted from the penn.
It is a fact that cannot be disputed
that it is next to an  impossibility
to keep hogs in an  enclosure and
keep it in soon a   condition   that
it Will not become a   public   nuisance.    The following  section of
the act ot assembly governing the
keeping of pigs will be ot interest
to all j
"Section 3. No pigsty shall be
bnilt or maintained on marshy
ground or laud suljuct to over
uow, nor within 100 teet of any
stream or other source of wat< r
supply, nor within 300 feet of at y
inhabited house or public mee<itig
house on an adjoining property.
When garbage is fed to pigs provision shall lie made t*o that all
urn out-umed garbage be handled
and ted upon p'atfoims of concrete or other imporious material.
Unslaked lime, hypochlorite of

Drunken Drivers
Fifty three men were indicted
on a single day in the courts of
Allegheny county tor driving
automoi.-iles while under the influence of liquor. Tbis suggests
tbat thus tar prohibition is merely
a dream In Allegheny county, as
il is various other sections of tbe
state. It likewise suggests that
tbe officers in Allegheny county
are beginning to take notice of
the reckK-ss and perilous conduct
of certain drivers of automobiles.
Tbis rapid travelling machine is
dangerous enough under any
circumstances, bet it becomes a
constant terror w hen ia tbe hands
of a rumcrazed man. Allegheny
oonnty will probably try these
persons and if they are''found
guilty their licenses as drivers
will surely ba taken trom them
for the balance of the yeor. Tht
courts most stand between taw
defenseless public end' the drunken driver.

The steel   industry    is    now
booming and also affects tba stone
business, whioh ie   one   of Blair
county's leading industries, thus
the   various  quarries are being
operated   in     full   force.   These
identified with the stone industry
say   that   they   have   not   been
affected by tbe car shortage, as
bas  been  the ooal  industtry in
this section. Early in  tbe winter
the   car    consignment   was eet
down but at present tbere is a
plenteous  supply   of   cars   and
shipments ere  proceeding   regularity trom the Petersburg branoh
and tbe   Tyrone   distriot, where
mort of the quarries are   located.
The stone industry is largely,
dependent upon foreign labor, ae
few native Americana will work
in the quarries any more. Shipments irom tbe quarries along
the Petersburg branch and trom
below Tyrone average seventy-
five or eighty cary per day, whieh
is the nomal number wheu tbe
steel industry is at its height.
