The Chamber of Commerce has ap-propriated $"i0 towars the expenses j of the celebration ami town council win be asked to make a donation at I the meeting tomorrow evening. The borough has always fittingly 'celebrated the nation's birthday and I the fireworks display has attracted thousands of people in past years. Owing to the business depression it is deemed advlslbls by some to omit the fireworks display owing io the expense and have a band concert I in the jiark as the evening) entertain* i ment. Treasurer Hate, who has col-lected much of the money for the past celebrations, stated this morn-ing that he believed funds could eas-ily be collected for a celebration on the same scale as in previous years and that a fireworks display should be included In the program. Should there be a fireworks dis-play, 0 new location will have to be found as the new athletic field oc-cupies the site of previous displays and the site cannot now be used. It has been suggested that the old golf ground, at Eleventh avenue west from I'nyctte street would be the most available site is a UUgC MOWd could be accompanied on the grounls and in the surrounding streets as (\c traffic is light in these streets.

The churches observed the new time with practi- <.illy no Inconvenience but a few worshippers had forgotten to chan e their time and came to service as tho closing hymns were being sung. The railroads operated on new schedules there being a number of changes in trains but the trains were operated on standard time and patrons were Instructed to add one hour to the time tables thus a train due here at S a. m. by the time table, the train would be due at '.I a. in. by day-light having time. This caused pat-rons many long waits in stations as many arrived an hour earlier than the train. Local business went off without a bitch yesterday. The people had be come accustomed to the new time over Sunday. The post office has not changed to the new time and the carriers begin their duties on the old schedule thus delaying deliveries one hour. The people look the delay good naturedly but the carriers were compelled to answer many questions as to their time. The schools, industries and stores are working on the new lime. The Fifst National bank has adopted the new time while the Tradesmen's bank is continuing on standard time. With the two institutions using different time, a little confusion was caused yesterday morning. The delivery of the morning papers Is delayed one hour. The "paper" train due here nt 5 a. m. does not ar-rive until G o'clock and this has caus ed inconvenience to the early work-ers. Tho railroad ticket agents are hav lng their own troubles. All of yester day they were busy answering tele-phone calls as to the limp of trains The Pennsylvania Railroad took oil a number of trains and tho service does not fit in with business at all. Those employed In the city and were regular riders on the trains about 8 a. m. found the only morning service near their usual time is 7.:!:!, 8.27 and 8.4". daylight saving time and the express at 10.30. The out bound trains do not lit In with the new time. TUP popular 4.10 p. m. ex-press now runs at 5.10 new time and omits this stop. This was a very popular train. No trains have been provided for the usual r> o'clock crowd. The north bound service tinder the new time in the morning is such that a number of persons em-ployed in local industries cannot use the trains and are placed at serious disadvantage. The Pennsylvania Railroad offi-cials recognize the Inadequacy of the schedule and a new one-will be Issu-ed June 12. The matter regarding I rain service to and from this town has been taken up with the rail-road and adjustments are promised that will restore the important trains The children pursue their daily duties according to n iw time end a< night a!" g|Ven an extra hour i ver the other residents by be!n;.i sent to bed under standard time.

A meeting of the committee named by the Chamber of Commerce to aid in the promotion of a celebration of the Fourth of July w.is held In the borough hall Bunday afternoon.

'ganlses which will I be on Sunday as ohalrman Matthias i Vercoe has Issued a call for a meet-ing of the old committee and after it winds up its affairs a new committee j will be immediately ory.inixed. The Chamber of Commerce has ap-propriated $"i0 towars the expenses j of the celebration ami town council win be asked to make a donation at I the meeting tomorrow evening. The borough has always fittingly 'celebrated the nation's birthday and I the fireworks display has attracted thousands of people in past years. Owing to the business depression it is deemed advlslbls by some to omit the fireworks display owing io the expense and have a band concert I in the jiark as the evening) entertain* i ment. Treasurer Hate, who has col-lected much of the money for the past celebrations, stated this morn-ing that he believed funds could eas-ily be collected for a celebration on the same scale as in previous years and that a fireworks display should be included In the program. Should there be a fireworks dis-play, 0 new location will have to be found as the new athletic field oc-cupies the site of previous displays and the site cannot now be used. It has been suggested that the old golf ground, at Eleventh avenue west from I'nyctte street would be the most available site is a UUgC MOWd could be accompanied on the grounls and in the surrounding streets as (\c traffic is light in these streets.

The churches observed the new time with practi- <.illy no Inconvenience but a few worshippers had forgotten to chan e their time and came to service as tho closing hymns were being sung. The railroads operated on new schedules there being a number of changes in trains but the trains were operated on standard time and patrons were Instructed to add one hour to the time tables thus a train due here at S a. m. by the time table, the train would be due at '.I a. in. by day-light having time. This caused pat-rons many long waits in stations as many arrived an hour earlier than the train. Local business went off without a bitch yesterday. The people had be come accustomed to the new time over Sunday. The post office has not changed to the new time and the carriers begin their duties on the old schedule thus delaying deliveries one hour.

With the two institutions using different time, a little confusion was caused yesterday morning. The delivery of the morning papers Is delayed one hour.

Those employed In the city and were regular riders on the trains about 8 a. m. found the only morning service near their usual time is 7.:!:!, 8.27 and 8.4". daylight saving time and the express at 10.30. The out bound trains do not lit In with the new time. TUP popular 4.10 p. m. ex-press now runs at 5.10 new time and omits this stop. This was a very popular train. No trains have been provided for the usual r> o'clock crowd. The north bound service tinder the new time in the morning is such that a number of persons em-ployed in local industries cannot use the trains and are placed at serious disadvantage. The Pennsylvania Railroad offi-cials recognize the Inadequacy of the schedule and a new one-will be Issu-ed June 12. The matter regarding I rain service to and from this town has been taken up with the rail-road and adjustments are promised that will restore the important trains The children pursue their daily duties according to n iw time end a< night a!" g|Ven an extra hour i ver the other residents by be!n;.i sent to bed under standard time.
