Notwithstanding bis official duties, lie founi time this fall to do yoeman service for the Republican party in this
county, where lie has long been one of the most efficient workers for Republicanism. He has been one of the most
active of Hi. leadeis of the party, ami Its present efficiency in this vicinity is largely due to his exertion.

circles generally. In 1892 he was u
delegate to the Republican State Con-vention.
His ability as a stalwart
Republican was emphatically recogniz-ed
In 1898, when he was nominated
for Sheriff, and was elected by a big
majority, his opponent being Mr.
Frank Larzelere, of Jenkintowa.
In 1885 he married Miss Fannie L'lrich
of Germantown and naoved at once into
employ of the ConshohockenGas Light his present home on Fifth avenue be-
Compaqy, where his good Judgement
and persevering method caused him
to be rapidly advanced and he was
til,ally made superint ndent of both
the Manayunk and Cnnshohocken plants.
Mr. Light remained twenty three
years with the company until It was

George Light, a bright lad of fourteen
years.
The Sheriff attended the National
conventions at St. Louis and Philadel-phia
and saw McKlnley nominated at
both places. He has also traveled ex-tensively
in the United States but pre-fers

A WORTHY CHARITY
Town Council lias no legal right to
• \.iii|ii real estate from local taxation
was shown ai the meetingoftowncoun-cil
on Wednesdo] , rentng. At the last
mi• ting a request to exempt the hall
of Oeorge Bmltfa Posl was made, and
it was referred to Hie Solicitor. The
following was the opinion he gave:
To the Town Council m Consfaohocken,
Regarding the application of the
, Bmlth Post Q. A, it. for eaemp-lion
from taxes nisnsimil upon the real
estate of the pool and referred to me
bll SO opinion, I respectfully report;
huteniptlons from taxation are to i-ly
on the following portions
ol tin- Constitution of this suite to wit:
Article IX.
section i All tax.s shall be unl-i,.,
m. upon tin Maine class of subjects,
with in the territorial limits of the au-thority
levying the tax. and shall be
levied and collected under general
laws; lint the general assembly may.
uy general laws, exempt from taxation
public property used for public pur-poses,
actual pluces of religious wor-ship,
places of burial not used or held
for private or corporate profit, and in-stitutions
of a purely public charity.
Section 2. All laws exempting prop-erty
from taxation, other than the
property above enumerated shall be
void.
The Act of Assembly passed to car-ry
out ibis Article of the Constitution
specify the classes of property exempt.
but all of these are embraced in the
general language of the orgunlc law.
The Courts nave frequently Inter-
I d this brunch of the law, but It
could not lie extended to cover the
property of the Post.
The matter of exonerations is regu-lated
by. the Act of April lath. 1834.
which provides that the1 authorities
"shall at all times make abatement or
exonerations for mistakes, indigent
persons, unseated lands, etc., as to
them shall appear Just and reason-able."
There seems to he no authority here
tor exoneration.
I am therefore of the opinion that
the real estate of the Post Is not ex-empt
from taxation and that it cannot
lie lawfully exonerated.
Yours truly,
WILLIAM F. MEYERS.
Borough Solicitor.
A long discussion about the curbing
and paving of West. Elm street wns
closed by the adopt ion of the motion
of Mr. Harrolil to employ Surveyor
Daniel Single to give the lines for the
curbing and paving to all the property
owners interested.
Mr. Campbell suggested that a tax
collector should be had Immediately,
and that John .1. Meyers would be will-ing
to take out this year's duplicate.
On motion of Mr. O'Brien, Town
Council recommends to the Court Mr.
Meyers for the appointment, nnd the
\.ays and Means Committee was dl-rected
to place the duplicates In bis
hands when he had given the proper
sureties.
Mr. O'Brien spoke of the necessity of
having a cabinet In Which the papers
of the borough could be died, and that
would be easy of access to the mem-bers.
On his motion the president ap-pointed
u committee of three consist-ing
of Messrs. O'Brien, Moconachy and
Long to get the necessary cabinet.

THE CONSHOHOCKEN
PROPHET
PREDICTS
To-morrow afternoon Ihe locals will
line-up against the Mt. Any Hear Mute
Sam and the quaint old days of 1895
wfll be brought fresh Into the minds
01 the foot ball cranks of that Benson.
It was during that year that the team,
then playing under the name of the
lioneers. were snowed under by the si-lent,
players and received their only
defeat of the season. The Mt. Airy
team at that time was one of the fnst-ist
in the stale and they had little
trouble In running up 24 points while
■hey prevented the local team from
scoring.
The home team that season was Just
booming Into their gnat foot ball cn-reer
and it was nt that time thai the
people wen beginning to nnd out that
we had good material here for a foot
ball team and the people were jubilant
iver the record that was made by the
team, but the game with the Deaf
Mutes proved to be the one thai oreas-
'd their record for that season. Our
nai star, II. Bulger, was playing on
the Ml. Airy team then ami the way he
mr.. bobs in the home team's line "as
i wonder and it was in that game that
ii i aptured the hearts of the opt
ors. But. however, the followeri of
lie game still hold the team ill fond
remembranci and bey will be wel-nincd

A LONG-FELT WANT

his evenings, and at the same tlrne
enjoy all the environments and sur-roundings

The attraction for the opening was
the original company and production

pastoral spectacle, "The Dairy Farm"
wnlch not only captivated Us audlenco
but sent every one home with that de-lightful
feeling that they hart their
moneys worth. The attractions"*u> fol-low

such as are charged at the Park.
