" Pear no man, and do justice to all men." Vol. Ill SEWICKLEY, PA., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1906 No. 25 Tuesday's Election. Only Opposition is a "Street Car" Candidate Against Mr. Diehl for Council. The probabilities are that there will be but a light vote polled at the coming election, February 20. Mr. Thomas Drynan has taken out the necessary papers and will be a "street car" candidate for council. Mr. A.- H. Diehl is the candidate on the- straight ticket, and is a consci- entious, progressive business man, who if elected will go into council free from any obligations to any class or clan and should have the support of the Republican voters. He will be ever ready to stand by the wishes of the majority of the property owners on an/ question that directly affects the borough. While the street car question is not a,djrect issue at this election, it is in all probability only a question of time until the matter will be brought up. The statement has been given out, but we have not been able to verify it. that the street car people are willing, to pave Centennial ave- „ nue and keep it in repair for a term of years and also pay the sum of $50,000. Now if Sewickley must have the street car, a proposition like the above should not be considered. The cars, to be of any practical use, should be in the business center of the town where they would be available. Then again, the cost of the paving 'and the bonus of $50,000 should be paid into the borough treasury. If Gentennial avenue is to be paved it should be done as all other streets have! been paved—on petition of abutting property owners, who ■ should stand their share of the expanse, as owners of property on othelr streets have done, as it would i not be fair to exempt them on the grounds that the street car people are willing to pave the street. Let the entire sum to be derived from any franchise go into the general fund. We are neither advocating or opposing str'eet cars, as we believe it is a question that should be left entirely to the people to decide. But we do believe that the entire community should be benefited and not merely the residents of one street. MORE ANENT THE SMALLPOX. Board of Health Takes Exception to Communication Sent to Council. At the last regular meeting of council, a communication was read concerning the building in which the smallpox patient was confined and asked that council look the matter up. This it did, but the health officers have filed objections to some of the statements made— namely that the building was abandoned without being fumigated. It claims that this was done the day after the patient was removed. It is not the intention of the writer to put anyone in a false light, but why should this building have to stand a week with no one to look after it or burn the discarded contents? The officers may have carried out the rules of the Health Board, but they are in sore need of new and more practical rules. We were told that the place was in a safe condition from a sanitary standpoint, yet the sign must remain on the building until the ownar of the property fulfills certain regulations of the health authorities. " This seems just a bit paradoxical. If the building is in such a condition that the Board of Health can pass upon it favorably then take down the sign. If it is not, the person responsible should be compelled to "get busy," SewicRley Triumphs. Gaptain Ed. Hickey, of the Mill-, vale gun club, having Issued a sweeping challenge, which was accepted by the Sewickley gun club, teams representing the two organizations met on last Saturday and the Sewickley boys scored a decisive victory.

Luckhart, of the Allegheny County League. The league will be formed on an amateur basis, and the towns likely to be represented are, Bellevue, Avalon, Ben Avon, Goraopolis, Sewickley Y. M. G.
