Cooper Creek Chemical Com-pany
Makes Good Offer to
West Side Council
THOS. FERRIER TREASURER
The Cooper Creek Chemical Com-pany,
whose plant is located in Upper
Merion township, just outside of West
c'onshohoeki'n, presented to the mem-bers
of West Conshohocken Town
Council, at their postponed meeting
last evening, a proposition whereby
the River Koad, generally in a very
poor condition, can bo placed in ex-cellcnt
shape at a very little expense
to the borough.
The proposition was presented to
thf Street Committee am] subsequent-ly
by that committee to Council for
Its consideration. The company offers
to furnish sufficient limestone and will
pay half the expense of hauling if the
borough will pay the other half.
The proposition was discussed by
every member preseT.t and it was left
in the hands of the Street Committee
to provide means by which the propo-sition
can be accepted.
The River Road is In a deplorable
condition during the greater part of
the year. It is the only avenue of ac-
•o:< which the Cooper Creek Company
has to their plant, and realizing this
fact the company Is anxious to have
the road put In a condition while the
weather Is favorable, so that it will be
In passable condition next winter.
The West Side Council advertised
for bids to repair the mad lust year
and the lowest bid was $1900.
If the proposition of the Chemical
Company is accepted the cost will be
very trifling in comparison to the cost
of the borough doing the work in ad-dition
to the cost of the material.
Another Treasurer.
Thomas II. Fcrrier, who served sev-eral
years as borough auditor, and
who at present conducts an Ice civ.un
parlor on lower Ford street, was elect-ed
treasurer In place of Howard llan-num,
who was elected at the last reg-ular
meeting and who failed to take up
his bond. Mr. Ferrler presented his
bond und will assume his duties Im-mediately.
New Light* Unsatisfactory.
The Counties Gas & Electric Com-pany
has completed the work of In-itialling
the new lighting system In
the borough and at the meeting last
evening the Light Committee reported
that the service here was not up to
what they expected from their tour of
Inspection of the same system which
they saw in operation at Collegevillc
several months ago. The complaint
will be taken up with the electric
company.
The members of the George Clay
Fire Company llled a complaint with
Council on account of the Counties
Gas *i Kleotrlc Company removing the
light from in front of the hose house
nnd placing It on a pole several feet
west of the former location. The elec-tric
company will be asked to replace
the light.
Reports.

no new work had been done during the
month but that the streets and gutters
had been cleaned.

of Boyi Scout Troop No. 2, of
which Rev. Thomas A. Armour, pas-tor
of the Methodist church, is Scout
.Master. The boys had a camp along
Plymouth creek and a short distance
from the railroad, about one mile
wei-t from Ridge road. The boys
have been working u truck patch to
aid home defense work. Last Friday
night Mr. Armour was unable to be
at the camp and It was In charge
of assistant scout master Walter
Rowland. There were five boys in
camp: llary DeliaTen. Frank Niblo,
Raymond Nicholas, Harry Worth
and Owen Holmes. Rowland left
the camp at ">.:iu o'clock Saturday
morning to go to his work and Mr.
Armour was to be in camp at 5.30 o-clock
as Li? was in town making pur-chases
for the camp. The boys were
cautioned .ibout staying away from
the railroad and not to go in swim-ming
during the absence ot the
scout master. The boys arose early
and went Into the truck patch to
work. Shortly before 8 o'clock all
the boys went to the railroad and
boarded a slew moving freight train.
When the train was almost at Ridge
Pike, the boys jumped from the
train and young DeHaven choose a
spot along ar. embankment to alight.
He fell under the train and both
legs wen- fevered One leg was
cut off abo/e the knee and the other
at the thigh. His companions has-tened
to tumraon aid. William Shu-pert,
farmer for the Alan Wood Iron
&' Steel Conpany and whose land
tho boys were camping, quickly ar-rived.
He had the hospital ambul-ance
summoned and sought the aid of
railroad men. The Boy Scouts cared
for their companion but It was feared
to move 'lim less henorrhages set In.
It was an hour before the ambulance
arrived, the scene of the accident not
being three miles from the bOspltaL
During '.his period, Mr Shupert sent
to the Steel plant lor a stretcher and
was going to take the boy to the
hospital but was warned not to move
him for fear of starting bleeding.

Boys D!sobeyed Warnings
The boys had been repeatedly warn-ed
about jumping freight trains. The
trains run slowly at this point and
is a great temptation for the boys to
take a ride. A few evenings ago,
Mr. Armour warned the whole troop
of the danger or boarding trains. He
had lined up and asked them, on
their honor, all who had boarded
trains to liold up their hands. The
boys were manly enough to acknowl-eged
it. Mr. Armour then stated
that any boy found violating the or-der
would be dismissed from the
camp. It i3 believed the rule was
obeyed until Saturday morning when
all the boys stole away and boarded
a train.
It had been Mr. Armour's inten-tion
to take a large party of young
boys to tho camp yesterday morning
and he was making arrangements for
cooking ntcnpils and provisions Satur-day
morning when the accident hap-pened.
The truck patch of the Scouts will
be taken ci re oi by a number of men
until it .'s finally decided Wh<
the work will be continued
by the SCOUta or not.
