IT IS TRUE
That there have been standing adver-tisement*
that have proved to be prof-i
i.,i ■ as a means of publicity, but
there is no doubt that frequent changes
In the style and matter of an adver-tisement
will always increase its pull-ing

A. L. MURPHY
The conlest tor. thy. Counellmanb
nomination in the fifth ward Is waxing
warm.
The contestants arc James Jones,
who has served as clerk hj the election
board until thw last election and Bx
Co.ineiinmn A. !.. Murphy.
When a member of Council. Mr. Mur-phy
served both lib; Ward and the Hoi -
ough faithfully. As chairman of the
Finance Committee, he instituted a
lonelier of reforms wliu.l, mdlitates the
transacllorj a( the financial business of
the Borough and throws safeguards
about the Borough's, nuances which u,
of great. > a in.
When chaliiiian of the Stnvt Com-mittee,
he (hvobl lunch 0r his time
to seeing that i,ur stroots were kept in
a sanitary condition; he strlved to and
succeeded In keeping the gutters clean
and the unhealthy low plaota, where
pools of stagnant water accumulated
were tilled up. By his efforts tipper
layette street was transfojrued from a
narrow, unsafe, dirt road to a broad
macadamized street, thereby giving a
beautiful entrance to (be town and
making this aectUin a very desirable
buildihg site.
Mr. Murphy always championed
measures which were for the best In-terest
of the Borough and by the faith-ful
and successful performance of the
affair* Intrusted to him won the confi-dence
and respect of every member of
Council, regardless of party. When he
went out of Council, it was a loss to
his ward and the Borough and at the
present time he Is greatly Mfdad to
fill his old seat, to givs. hi*, aid and

Mr. JoncB has always been a Rcpuli

Council, for a man who shOWl
lack of interest in Nattc,u,,i and Stat.

vital importance can hardly- he expected
to give any time or attention to Bor-ough.

Mr Murphy should be reurned to his
old scat as It is for the best interest of
the Borough and c.v«ry tax-payer.

There was considerable discussion
about the demand of the School Board
tor tic lines 1 bat the Burgess had col-leetsd
for drunkenness. Burgess 01-
rioh stated that such a demand had
been made ou him, and he asked Coun-cil
to decide whether or not he should
pay the amount. Sixteen fines have
been collected.
Solicitor Meyers was asked for his
opinion regarding the legality of the
claim. He had looked this rtumtlon up
several years ago, and believed that
the borough neod not pay them. The
Inns, he .luted, were collected for the
violation of a borough ordinance, and
belong to the borough. If a citizen
war* to make charges against a drunk-en
man, have him arrentec( and lined.
it would then bsjgaa to the School
Board.
On motion of Mr. Colling, the Burgess
and Solicitor were directed to have the
question investigated and report at the
next meeting of Town Council.
