TAP ROOM ETIQUETTE
Employes of the State Liquor
Control Board are not "high hat" or
unsociable when they fail to recognize or speak to enforcement officers of the board la tap rooms or
other places where liquor is sold by

They are merely following an
order of the Board whieh. requests
its employe^ not to recognize enforcement officers in places where
liquor is sold by the drink unless
the enforcement officer flrst indicates his willingness to engage in
conversation.   .
The reason for this order is that
in the past enforcement officers,
while sitting is tap rooms or other
licensed places for the purpose of
obtaining evidence of law violations, hsve occasionally been embarrassed by employes of the Liquor
Board, known to the top room proprietor, egaging the officer is
[conversation sad in this way disclosing to the proprietors the iden-
tar of the enforcement officer.

SEWER FUNDS GRANTED
Work on the borough project for
the past few weeks has been held
up somewhat due to lack of appropriations from the powers that be,
at Washington and a number ot
the employes had been temporarily
suspended. However, the beginning of the week it waa announced
that a large appropriation had been
made for the undertaking, sufficient, so it is said, to keep the men
steadily employed until next March.
Up to date It is estimated that two
hundred thousand dollars had been
spent on the undertaking, and it is
only about one third completed. It
is a large undertaking snd as it is
being done by pick and shovel, modern machinery not being used it
will be many months before the
project is finished and in ues.
