BALLINGER MUST RESIGN oOON \ Thr business men and residents at large of the town are patiently waiting for the borough or the board of health to start the cleaning process that is so much needed here. The town a ■becoming dirtier every day and a casual inspection will convince anyone that there is. probably not a town in the State that is more in need of a scrubbing. , The work couild he accomplished at little expense. The borough could andi should donate the use of several teams and wagons* to haul away tji* refuse after the cltlaen* had plied it up. The trustees of the playground are willing and anxious to provide a dumping ground for the refuse, in th* old mill race, which must soon be filled at considerable expense If the cleaning up process1 is not started. The town netds it, the citizens want It and It is therefore up to the board of health or the 'borough to get busy. The trocip'a roster I* again complete Troop P added four names to Its rosier yesterday when Alfred Ache, R. W. Pomro.v Allen, Jr., James H. Carpenter and William E. KUeker. arrived here from Pottsvllle. The young men, all of whom have seen service with the exception of Allen, have been at the recruiting station at Pottsvllle the past two months. They are young men of excellent appearance and stature and should make valuable additions to the troop.
