BURGESS SHELLY VETOES
Burge.is James Shelly, of Amibler, lias vetoed the Borough ordlnanoo creating a Boroug'h Authority, l>a.s.'»0Kl by Council a month aigo.
In a letter to Council, thc Bur¬ gess gavo three reasons for his veto: First, The Authority g-lves too much power to the Board to be created. Second, There appears no adequate chtH;k on the aotion of such Authority. Third, Appolnt- in€<nt of the persons to serve on tho Authority had not been niHdo when  the ordinance Wits i«nfised.
Ambler Council im>ade nn attempt to pass the ordinance over tho veto, and as it stands the ordinance dies.

Olioning his remarks with the pointed statement that "you can not legislate eloctrillcation into a farm¬ er's home," Hudson W. Reed, ot Ambler, of the executive division of the United G-as Improvement Com¬ pany of Philadelphia, started a dis¬ cussion on i-ural eloctrifloation prob¬ lems on Tliursday bofoi-e tho twen¬ ty-eighth annual /jnvontion of the I'onnsylvania Electi-ic Association .xt the  l'»edford   Springs   Hotel.
Mr. .Reed's first remark and subse¬ quent comment on a subject whicii is receiving the serious consideration of not only the cleotric power indus¬ try, but also of the Federal Govern¬ ment and the Public iSorvico Com¬ mission of I'ennsylvania, developed one general thome and that waa ifor the utility comimnies and tho Gov¬ ernmental a^jencies to co-opoixute In placing electric power, now gonorahy regarded as the nation's servant, within roach ot all rural communi¬ ties.
"Whenever an earnest attempt Is mado to improve the welfare of our fellow man," J r. Reod sa'id, "there Is always groat danger that onlhus- lasm will liwevail ovor sound judg¬ ment and the dictates of past ex¬ porience.
"So it was during tho promotional periods of gias, oloetric and trolley in¬ dustries. Order eventually came out of chaos, but the growing i>ains were terrific."
Maintaining that electiic service to rural communities cannot ibe forced by executive dinu-eo or i>olItIcal bally¬ hoo, JMr. Rood told his interested auditors that "to be permanently suc- ce.H.'iful, it must be sold on a sound basis."

EFFICIENT MEMBERSHIP ON THE ROAD BOARD
Served with Credit and Fidelity foi- 12 Years—Foremost in Highway Im. provement, Administrative Efficiency a«id TaK Reduction
To Dipper Dublin Township Voters:
Having been connected with the Board of ISupervLsors over 13 year* and present at neiinl.v every meeting of the Board when Mr. A. Bothe, a menn- her for 12 years, was present, I feel justified in cialllntg your attention to his worth to the township.
1st. He has ahvayfs considered everj now action on the basis of its wortU to the entire township.
2ind. When the Board began it.f work towiard.s rebuilding all ro,a.ds he was In. sistent th.at the most traveled roada should have first attention, and that cross country lines shou'ld be flrst.
3rd. He urged th.at wh.en new work waa started it should be of the best standard in order th.at repair expenso should lie at the minimum, which haa lieen proved eorroot, as our repair ex¬ penses are less than any other second cl.a.ss township and our roads are of the highest quality, as .acknowledged by that  highway engineers.
4th. He was foremost in taking all necessai-y steps toward procuring funds from county andj state, a total of $165.- 000, which enabled the Board during 12 yoars to average ovor three and one- half miles of new oonstruction, so that teacher   of Knglish  and  !Fi"enoh,   wtis | wo now have only albout one-half mile
received and accepted. W. ,L. Bothwell was elected and his salary fixed.
.Tohn T. Camburn was elected truant ollicer.

Republican   Issues Clear
Tho Jfontgoniery county primary election, issue for Republican votei-s Is unimlstakably clear.
It is i)arty solidarity against the personal olniToItions of a few to whimi j party! harmony is un alien word.
No matter how dense the smoke jicreen laid dowjn in a forlorn hope by disgruntled oliice holders, the voters clearly see tho shape .and bulk of tho old-line organization iKickliij,' the iltc- publican  Harmony Ticket.
It is tho same organlsiation, minus only thc stricken loader. Charles John¬ son, who has been forced into retire¬ ment by illness. This organi/ation has supervised party politics for years, with
not macadamized.
5th. He has always been ready to consider any complaint or request from property owners and give cvareiful thought as to its effect on the town¬ ship at large. I
Cth. When  It  was  evident  tluit tho
country -was facing a prolonged depres-
i sion he called for .a reduction in taxofi
which began In 1931,    and    is now    6
mills, .a drop of 4 frum 10 in 1930.
7th. Tho bond indebtedness whon he wont in w.as $60,000. It is now $10,000. which could be paid at once, but for tho incroiise of about the same amo'jnt In tho unpaid ttix account.
In view of thoahove accomplishments it aiipcnrs to nio, and I hope to the voters, that he should be reelected for another term, and that the votes w^hen counted will confirm this thought.
