AMBLER SEWER WORK TO BE RESOMED SOON
APPLICATIONS FOR FEDERAL AID FORWARDED
Expected Application to B«  Appro/ej
• ^lTueaclay in Washington—Ensineer
• jIVl  to  Go  to  Harrisburg  on     the JiWA  Application
It Is expected that word will bo received in Amibler this week with re- e:ard to the I'WA application for federal nid on tho completion ot the flnst unit of the Ambler sewer lines end the disppsal plant. The appUca- Itlon was to have been acted upon on Tuoaday. It was approved in Harris¬ burg two weeks ago and forw^arded promptly to Washington for algnftture.
The Ambler application ia included in thc second lot of liko requests for federal aid, and many of those in the flrst lot have been approved and re¬ turned to the state. It would seem reason.able, therefore, to Ibeiieve the application will be approved and tho work soon resumed on the flrat unit Jind  the disposal plant.
So far as concerns the Borough's •hare of this unit, vory little expense remains for Ainiibler to pay, as the materials are on hand or contracted for or commitments made.
Tho PWA application, which is in connection with the Borough loan of $165,000 to be voted on at the general •lection on Nov. 5, is another applica. tion, and its purpose is to provide funds to complete the construction of uTiits 2, 3 and 4 of the comprehensive sewer plan.
This application is in Harrisburg at present, but is expected to Il)c approved nnd soon forwarded to Washington. Knglneer Friel expects to confer with tho Harrisburg authorities this Thurs¬ day with regard to this application.
Under this plan federal funds are ovallable up to 45 percent of the cstl- ti'iiated cost of the project, and tho eovernment will also purchase the Borough bonds issued on a four i>er eent  basis.
However, it seoms to be the present iesire of the Borough Council, if the ishue is authorized by popular voto, to sell its bonds in the open market, which it is believed can be done at a lower coupon rate than 4 percent, thua effecting a considerable saving in in terest to tho taxpayers.
May   Refinance at Lower  Rates
Tax payers in scores of T'ennsylvania 'ln:unicii>alitles where unmatured bonded Indebtedness exists will be enabled to nave hundreds of thousands of dollars In taxes in future years if the jnunlcl- Ijalities can accept the provisions of an act of the recent Legislature.
Numerous inquiries concerning the hew law have reached the bond ap proval division of the Department of Internal Affairs and indications are th.at many political subdivisions now in position to meet the retiuirements of the cost will take advantlage of the measure. In many casea the enactment Will result in local reduction for in¬ terest and sinking  fund   charges.

Will  not Permit Halcfeman to  Dictate
Who  Is to  Be  Prosecuted and Who
Is Not—States  Issue Clearly to  Re¬ publican Committeemen.
In a letter to tho imembers of thc Republican county cormmittoe and other leaders, IMstrict Attorney Stewart Nase demands to know whether the voters wish   the   office   of   prosecutor   to   be
administered fairly and honestly by thc | ^.^^^  di„|„^  ,.^„-^ duly elected district attorney, or should it Piass into the control of power-seek¬ ing  politicians  and favor-asking law¬ yers headed Iby I.saiah T. Haledman.
Mr. Nase charges: "Certain inside politicians cannot u.se me, and hiive brushed me ott their slate," he declares flatly of tho "hiirmonizers," who .are backing the candidacy of Frederick B. Smillle, of Upper Merlon, who has been a mamber of the Montgomery bar only since 1929 and has gained practically all his knowledge of the district at¬ torney's duties as an assistant to Mr. Nase.
Asserting that hc is the "same can¬ didate,   committed   to   the   same   prin¬ ciples—tbe  same Republican who was j nominated and elected four years aigo." i Mr.  Nase  points  out that  the  Halde- j man ollque, while opposing him for the custcimiary aecond term, have approved third  and fourth  terms  for  others.       j
The   letter   mentions   also   the   fact i that Mr. Haldeman hiimself    now     is serving  his  fourth   term   as  prothon¬ otary.
Under the heading, 'TiCt's look at the record," Mr. Nase gives a brief epitome of the work of the prosecutor's ollcc during his regime.
"All cases   ai'e presented'—no    cases
[are 'pigeon-holed'." he declares, at the
HBimie time donylnjgp categorically that
politics has ever been a factor in de-
terlminlng bis course of action.
Jle cljiims an economical adm.inlstr.a- tioin, stating that $42,000 had been saved during his term Ijy keeping thc number of assistants and sleuths under the legal limit and by speeding trbls.
His records .show that the business j of the offlce has increaaed 42'2 per centj since 1900 and 174 per cent since 1925.
As to postponed cases, which be-! came a serious issue in the closing j months of Mr. Rennlngor'a term, Mr. j Naae says: "Last sulmimer we had onlyl seven dontinued cases. This year wei have twenty-four (most of them Mr. Bean's <;,ises because of his duties in the senate). Tn past years it w.la not unuSUai to carry over to September one hundred or more cases."
Ho points out that convictions have been secured in 81 per cent of thc prosecutions, an linusually high aver¬ age, and flatly declares that Philadel¬ phia gambling racketeers havo been I driven from the county.
Mr. Nase adds that arson cases h.T.ve been  greatly reduced through  the ac tivities of his staff, while the "rhii'Vmi pati'ol"   has  given   fanmers   protection hitherto unknown.

up in Purtland, Oreg,, and given two days ill jail for vagrancy. One month after this .arrest Ingfalls was arrested In Soitttle, "Wash., for larceny .and sent to Jail for six months. Ho was next heard of in Minneapolis, Minn., where he was .apprehended for forgery, and upon conviction he was flned $750 and given nine months in jail.
Nothing was hoard of the man for more than a. jlear, when he was ar¬ rested in Ann Arbor, Mich., where h» again faced tho court, also on a charga of forgery. After l>cing released he went lo Jackson, Mich., and it was not long before he was caught ,a,ga.ln giving bad checks. Upon conviction he waa sentenced to serve 6 months to a yeai.
After serving his time he went to Toledo, Ohio. Here he agiiin began issuing checks and upon conviction was sentenced. After serving his time Ingails was next heard from at Colunn- bus, Ohio, where ho was an-ested a^piin for passing worthless checks, and onc« moro he went to prison for from ono to three years. Fuur y«irs after his arrest in Columbus, ho was apprehend¬ ed at Concord, N. H., for intent to defraud. He was convicted on this charge and given a sentence of from Bode- I " '" ^ years. He next found viotims in Boston, Mass., but was relo.asod, as it ^^ . appeared the charge was not pressed. At Providence, II. I., he w.as also ar¬ rested for issuing bad checks, and apjaln he escaped going to pail for a time as he secured Imil, but thc law flnally caught up wilh hiim, and he was sent to jail for six months. This took place September 8,  1934.
Ingails then went to Jersey City, and the records show that he was iilipiiiiondcd there Ma.v 10, 1935, but was not prosecuted. Frum there he drifted to Philadelphia, whore ho was taken into custody August 9, 1935.
It .appears from tlio report th.at after his arrest In Philadelpliia the polio received a more comiilete record of his activities, and besides the ar¬ rests of tlio mian as outlined he W'as approhended no fewer than 29 times, making a total of 48 arrests. The records .also show that ho lias boon arrestod in almost every state in the t^nion, and he has served aljout 20 i >'!ear,s, .and is on probation a total of Sud- 1 noarly twice as niiiny years. The re¬ port nlso shows that he began his criniin.il career in 1904, or a period of about 31 years, and tho chargos against him are from vngnau'cy to grand larceny. He was arrested by Phi!adell)hl;i police who assisted Chief Fluck on the char.ge of passing worth¬ less checks on local i^lorekoeiiors, and he Is now in the Montgomery County Jail awaiting trial.
