SEWICKLEY, PA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1906
No. 52
Was Lively Meeting.
Sewickley Valley Business Men's Association
Holds Regular Session and Transacts
Some Important Business.
STORES WILL CLOSE AT NOON LABOR DAY
The headquarters of the Sewickley Valley Business Men's Association presented an animated scene
on Tuesday evening when the Association convened in regular session. About forty members were
present and took active part in the
work.
President George H. Hegner presided, and when the regular routine
of the evening was finished a report was presented by Mr. Paul J.
Quinn, chairman of the civic committee', which had charge of the
outing at Cascade Park on August
7. The final report of this committee will not be made until the
next meeting. Harmony prevailed,
and all' the members were gratified
with the manner in which the
people of the Valley received the
initial outing of the business men
of the Valley, despite the weather,
and great things are promised for
next year's event.
That the Association is liberal in
its views was demonstrated when a
special committee consisting of Mr.
Reason Walker, William G. Murray,
AlckBn F. Hays, Edward W. Becker
and Max Lavender, was appointed
to take up the matter of a post-
office site. Just what action will
be taken by the committee cannot
be stated at this early date, but the
men on the committee are wideawake to the best interests of the
community and they will represent
the Association at a proposed conference with the borough council in
an effort to interest that body in
the matter. Every site will be
taken up and fairly and thoroughly
discussed, with the end in view
that the building may be centrally
and conveniently located in our
borough. The Grimes site which
was recently offered is considered
to be entirely too much out of the
way to be of any practical benefit
to the business interests of the
town. It is the desire of the Association that Sewickley be favored
with a new postoffice building and
with this end in view the committee
in charge earnestly solicits the cooperation of the citizens.
Arrangements were made to have
all members observe a half holiday
on Labor Day, and the stores will
therefore close at noon on that
day.
Several amendments to the constitution and by-laws were then
offered and passed on first reading,
after which the Association took
up the liveliest order of business of
the evening, which was the nomination of officers for the next term.
The ticket named follows:
President—W, G. Murray, J. M.

Lawn Pete.
A lawn fete will be held on the
Mount Sewickley camp grounds on
next Tuesday evening. A fine
time is promised for all who attend.
As there is not a more comfortable
place for a social affair of this
kind, the prospects are that a large
crowd will be present.
Lad Injured.
j On Monday afternoon about 2.SO
Thomas Geary, aged 10, and John
Kane, who were driving a team
belonging to the Sewickley Laundry company, had an exciting time.
The horse got beyond their control and in its mad career the vehicle struck a telephone pole on
Logan street. The lads in the
meantime jumped to the ground
and in so doing young Geary received a severe cut on his head
and sunk one of his teeth through
his lip. Officer Thornton took the
lad to a physician and later to his
home. Young Kane escaped injury.

Doings in
Policy Circles.
Chief  of Police  Roach  and
Efficient Officers Holding
Town Level.
MUST OBEY THE LAW
OR PAY PENALTY.
That laws are made to be obeyed is proven by the police docket
for the past week, and the present
force is "playing no favorites," "as
is shown by the cosmopolitan make
up of the list of offenders. A
square deal for all but they must
obey the law, is the Chief's slogan
and he is to be commended for it.
The first case before Squire
Johnston was George McGullough,
plain drunk. Result of hearing, $1
and costs. George claims that he
is one of the heaviest taxpayers
in the borough. He says that his
fines aggregate $3.25 per week.
Maybe board at the workhouse is
cheaper.
Thomas McCormick was brought
up for a hearing on a charge of
wife beating, but this charge was
annulled by the squire and he was
fined for being drunk.
John Brodas and Silas S. Laffer-
ty, also contributed a few dollars
to the borough exchequer for the
accommodations at the "annex."
The charge was plain drunk.
The case in which two little
girls figured as defendants on a
petty larceny charge, calls for
more than a passing glance from
parents who permit their children
to roam the streets instead of
keeping them in restraint. These
