ttkekig Jtewlfc " Pear no man, and do Justice to all men." Vol. HI SEWICKLEY, PA., SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1906 No. 31 I JOHN NEWTON WHITE. Early Thursday morning the appalling announcement was made of the death of Mr. John N. White, who. suddenly succumbed to an attack of heart failure. The passing of this excellent man in the prime of life was a severe shock to the community, while the circumstances of his death were particularly sad. Mr. White had suffered from an attack of pleurisy last fall but had slowly regained his health until in recent weeks he was feeling stronger and .better than usual. During the past few days he had left his law offices earlier than his custom to superintend some alterations that were being made at his house on Broad street, and has frequently expressed the great pleasure he found in being able to spend these afternoons at home. Thursday morning Mr. White arose about seven o'clock expecting to go to the city. While dressing he was sized with a tit of coughing, and on starting towards the bath room, he tell to the floor and expired instantly. Mis wife was alone with him when the end came. The physicians who were called announced that death was the result of heart failure which had probably been brought on by overwork. In the death of Mr. White the community loses one of its most, estimable citizens, and the county one of the foremost attorneys at the bar. Mr. John N. White, the son of the Hon. J. W. F. White, for 27 years one of the Allegheny county judges, was a graduate of the Sewickley Public Schools, and of Allegheny College. For thirty years he had practiced law in Pittsburg, where he was also chairman of the Examining Committee of candidates for admission to the bar. Mr. White was a prominent member of the Bar Association, and was recognized as a man who stood for the best principles of government and politics. Like his father, Mr. White became active in religious work when a young man. Besides being a member of the Board of Trustees, he had served for twenty odd years as Sunday School Superintendent in the Methodist Church. He has been a member of the Board of School Directors for nine years, and was also a director in the First National Bank of this place. On October 7th, 1886, Mr, White was married to Miss Julia French, of Fort Wayne, Indiana He JOHN N. WHITE.

In the capacity of a Sunday School Superintendent and as a member of the School Board, he endeared himself to the children by his kindly interest and genialty. Among older people 'and his associates he was above everything else a friend and counselor. Now-a-days a man who is prominent in public life assumes responsibilities which demand a supreme test of character and integrity. In this instance a man has measured out the severest claims and requisites of his station. Being identified with various enterprises of the borough, Mr. White has also left with them the in- dellible stamp of his sincerity and his high regard for duty. Again the no- (Cintinued on Page 12.)

The minutes of the preceding meeting were read and adopted. The report of the sub-committee of Street Committee, on sewers for the borough, was' read by the clerk, and evoked discussion, was adopted and the committee was authorized to advertise for the 14,000 feet of sewers needed to carry out the plan. All bids must be made on the form of the proposal furnished by council, and accompanied by a certified check for a sum equal to five per cent, of the amount of the bid. Council reserves the right to reject any and all bids. The sewers required are 12 inch to 36 inch. The advertisement will last for one month. The committee in charge of this important matter consists of Mr. Herz, Mr. Russell and Mr. Brooks. Mr. Charles J. Hatton submitted plans for the electrical management of the proposed fire alarm system of the borough. A sample of the telephones to be used was brought by Mr. Lord, and the best methods for sending in alarms, and communicating with the fire department, were discussed. The approximate cost of installation of the police and fire alarm systems was presented by Mr. Wardrop. A resolution was passed agreeing to the payment of $400 for the service. New business included a proposition from telephone companies to prepare conduits for wires, similar to those used in Sewickley. The matter was favorably considered, and the favorable condition of the Edgeworth streets, was regarded as better than the macadamized surface of Beaver street, Sewickley.

A very cordial invitation is extended to our members and friends to attend. Street Cars. The atmosphere seems to be charged with street car agitation, and one would almost think that petitions were growing on trees. You can put your name on "any old kind" of petition you want, either for or against. Petitions have but little weight in themselves and to be effective must be backed by a representative gathering of our citizens. It is understood that this question may be brought before our Council at next Tuesday evening's meeting and if such is the case, that is the time and place at which all parties concerned should appear. We know that Council will give ail interested parties a hearing. The only consideration should be, if a franchise is asked for, and the taxpayers think they should have the cars, is that the general fund of the borough should be enriched and not individuals. The street car company should be made pay the full worth of the franchise. ■ A„ -.*,.'». *<" ^£££^3r^»*i.''Sfe»^"^-T ■'-
