-Messrs. Moore, Williams, .Tones,
Blanche ami Nobllt,—the special
committee appointed from the Count*
Ollmanlc body together with Messrs
Tracy. Shaw and Garrett. the
taxpayers committee appointed by
COUnoil, are men whose ability and
Judgement cannot be successfully
questioned and as these men will
have supervision over the expendi-ture
of the loan money it seems to
me that the interest of the taxpay-ers
will be very well guarded.
It is true thai it will be necessary
lo add several mills lo Ihe tax rale
in order to carry this loan but the
Improvements to he secured there-from
will fully warrant Ihe small
additional tnxcsj and it is quite pos-sible
that with the extensive building
operations proposed and under way
it will bring considerable additional
revenue into the borough and school
treasuries, which together with Ihe
equalisation of assessments, which
will likely occur soon, this extra
uilllage may not he required after a
few years. Many of our streets are
in such deplorable condition that
they are unsufe for traffic and town
pride should demand thot this con-dition
be corrected. Furthermore
new streets must be opened to take
care of new building construction.
Bast Kleventh avenue has had a
number of dwellings erected thereon
and a la rye operation is about to
begin on West Eleventh avenue. It
is a oertalnty, therefore, thai the
COUll will compel the borough to
grade these streets and make them
safe for traffic.
If the loan chould be rejected it can
be readily seen that the borough will
be compelled to raise sufficient mo-ney
for this work by special assess-ments
and the tax-puyers required
to pay in one or two years as much
as he would pay over n long term of
years by approving the loan.
The grading and paving of the
Above I wo mentioned streets would
alone make necessary about a fifty-percent
increase in our taxes for
several years and il would continue
for several additional years if the
other streets are to be repaired.
Without doubt the opponents of the
loan are sincere in their convictions
but the writer has reasons lo be-lieve
that many of the opponents
are actuated In their activities by
personal or political reasons and are
placing personal Interest above that
of I he town.
Let us all on April 22nd vote in
favor of this loan and thereby bene-fit
ourselves by improving our town
und by saving to ourselves consid-erable
money by eliminating the cer-tainty
of special assessments and al-so
lo register a vote of confidence
to our Borough Council and to the
very worthy special Council Com-mittee
and Tax-payers committee.

The new type 12 American l.a-
Fi.ince fire truck purchased by the
Washington lire Company arrived
here yesterday and was ta-ken
to the fire station to await the
arrival of representatives of the
Board of Underwriters, who will
make a test of the apparatus before
it is accepted by the company.
Ten years ago the Washington
Company purchased a type 12 com-bination
motor pumping and chem-ical
apparatus from the LaFrance
company and the machine gave such
satisfaction that when the demand
arose for new equipment the order
was given the same company for its
most modern machine of the same
type.
The new machine cost ?13,000 and
is more powerful than the machine
now in service. Word has been sent
the National Board of Underwriters
of ihe arrival of the machine and a
request made that it be tested under
their supervision and the require-ments
of their standard for first
class fire apparatus. At a time to
be set by the Underwriters the
machine will be given a three hour
test in which il will be required to
meet the specifications, to pump
100(1' gallons of water per minute
with a pump pressure of 120 pounds
500 gallons with n pump pressure
of 200 pounds and 350 gallons with
a pump pressure of 2.10 pounds. I'p
on meeting these requirements the
company will accept the machine.
The new machine Is equipped with
a motor rated at 120 H. P., being LI
H. P. more than the old machine.
Its pumping capacity is 1000 gallons
of water |>er minute as against 750
for the old machine, and h-is a 6
inch suction feeding four outlets
for 2-1-2 fire hose, being one more
outlet than is provided on the old
machine. The hose carrying capac-ity
is 1200 foot of standard hose
being 200 feet more than is carried
in the old pumpeq. The chentieal
tank capacity of 40 gallons Is the
same lor Imili machines.
The new apparatus is equipped
with manr refin«me*its over the old
machine making it easier for opera-tion
while in service. It is equipped
with ladders, axes, portable electric
lamps and other tools necessary for
fighting fires.
After the tests by the Underwri-ters,
the company will make tests
and il is expected thnt the same
test will be made as was made with
all Hi., previous pumping apparatus
installed by the company, namely,
throwing streams over "Washitn"
hall now known las the Opera house.
The first test of this kind was
made way back in 1874 when the
company purchased its first steam
fire engine. :, second hand engine
that had done service In 'Wilmlng,-
ton Del. This engine threw two
streams over the hall pumping from
B lire hydrant at Front avenue nnd
Fayeiie street. The second wns an
American La France steam engine
nnd accomplished the same fent as
the older with.pumping water from
the canal. The first motor driven
machine was purchased in 1914 and
is much more powerful than the
steam engine. The new apparatus
is much more powerful than the old
one now In service.
The firemen intend to keep the
old machine as il is in perfect work-ing
condition and will be used In re-sponding
to out of town alarms. The
new machine will not go into ser-vice
out of town unless there is ur-gent
need.
May ;io and 31 the Washington
Company will celebrate its 50th an-niversary
and one of the big events
of ihe celebration will be the hous-ing
of the new apparatus.

Keeper of King-of-Prussia
Inn Sentenced to Two
Months and $100 Fine For
Possessing Liquo>.—Heavy
Sentence For Negro.
Wilbur A. Plerson, keeper of
King-uf- Prussia inn plead guilty of
unlawful possession of liquor at his
Inn and was sentenced on Wednes-day,
to serve two months in the
county jail and paid a fine of $100.
This was the first of the ninny
cases resulting from the raids of
Slate Trooper O'Boyle and his "fly-ing
squadron" of police. There was
no evidence of selling liquor, and
the Commonwealth dropped this
charge, but Judge Mille:- signified
that the very' possession of intoxi-cants
by a hotel keeper pointed to a
purpose other thun consumption by
the owner himself.
The jail sentence caused much
comment, and a flurry among the
others Indicted for similar offenses.
After character witnesses hud been
called for the defendant, Attorney
Theodore Lane Bean made an appeal
for suspension of juil sentence. He
said that the King of Prussiu inn
had never gained the reputation of a
"rum dump." lie argued that the
selling of liquor was never charged
against Pierson, who bore a good
reputation., and was a license holder
under the conn's decree for many
years,
Mr. Bean, declared that the liquor
owned by Pierson wus for his own
and guests' use.
Hut Judge Miller failed to agree
with him.
"1'iim attaching a jail sentence for
two reasons," said the court. "One
is that there is" a marked distinction
between possession by Ordinary In-dividuals
and possession by proprie-tors
of old licensed road houses like
the King of Prussia Inn. Any man
who owns liquor under these latter
conditions, does it with his eyes
open and runs his chance of taking
the punishment."
Negro Sentenced
PPIeading guilty to a crime of
most vicious and revolting nature,
James Johnson a negro of Ambler,
received the heaviest sentence im-posed
during yesterday's session of
court. Johnson a couple of months
ago attacked Miss Beatrice M. Pet-eriiian
while she was on her way
home. He battered her with the
heaviest piece of wood and had ul-onist
succeeded in bis attempted as-sault
when ihe girl broke away. The
man became frightened at the ap-proach
of pfsiMttnce and ran.
Judge Miller gave a brief warning
as to Whftt transgressors of the law
along such lines would expect and
then pronounced sentence.
On the first charge he gave John-son
a fine of $10 and costs and 21-2
to five years in solitary and separate
confinement in the Montgomery
Jail; on the second $10 and costs.
and from 2 to 4 years In jail the
sentences to run one after the oth-er.
On the third charge the sent-ence
wns suspended.
