Judge Marlon D. Patterson this morning expressed himself as highly pleased with the responses coming in, expressive of a desire to attend and participate in a meeting to be held in the Blair county courthouse tomorrow morning, at which the social exchange problem of the county is to be discussed. People representing the charity societies of every character, in all parts of the county, have expressed their intentions of attending. There has been a feeling for years, that the local charities have been imposed upon by impostors and that the main reason for this has been a duplication of effort which requires a duplication of certain necessary expenses. The people of Blair county are responsive to the call for help for the needy, the judge said, but it is an imposition on them to ha.ve a single penny expended in administration that should go to feed, shelter and clothe the poor.

Charitable organizations In the county have been doing their level best, it is asserted, to make its charity 100 per cent. That as a theory sounds good, but in practice, is not possible. It is possible to keep overhead down tO CONTINUE GARBAGE SERVICE IN JUNIATA Collection of garbage will be continued in Junlata by the city when it becomes the Thirteenth ward of Al- tootta next Monday undef existing ar- fang'em'ents and under the direction 6f tHe city highway brifeau, but no Collections will be started in the Logan township afeas until tho facilities at the garbage incinerator are enlarged. pay a garbage collection tax, but this will be removed when the town becomes a p.art of the city since garbage removal is free to the residents' of AltooWa.

The association has spent $30,000 in improving the cemetery and tdad- WIIVK. including the laying out of grass plots, resetting fences, grading and putting down roads of substantial material, and $8,400 in improving Eighteenth avenue, In conjunction with the city. New entrances have also been erected to replace the old iron gates and posts.

These improvements made it necessary to reset the fences and the fence at Fifth street was also reset. The driveways throughout the cemetery were graded and filled with six inches of stone, then rolled and covered with three inches of. amestlle. One driveway circles through the cemetery to the mausoleum where a large circular plot of ground is planted in grass. All of the ground above what is known as vault row has been graded and will be made into a velvety lawn.

The grading at Ninth street will be completed and the ground beautified. When completed, this will not only, beautify the plot but will add approximately 1,000 lots. It is not generally known that the Fairview association owns a beautiful mausoleum. The ownership of this building was an undecided question for several years but now the association has full possession and the title. This 'which is in perfect condition, contains 230 crypts, forty-two of which are occupied, Each crypt is numbered, the number being cut into the marble so that records are easily kept.

When he remonstrated that it would be foolhardy to attempt such a transaction with District Attorney William J. Foley and Attorney General Joseph E. Warrier in office, Fuchs said, the councilman replied: "As far as prosecution in Suffolk county goes, it's a joke.

We draw our own jurors." District Attorney Foley announced that he would submit the case to the grand jury las soon as he received a transcript of the testimony before the finance commission. At the same General Warner Indicated his office might Intervene in the case because of Lynch's statement that jurors were drawn in the city council.

Hoover is really anxious to block the extra session It will require the wielding of the legislative club in company with President Coolldge.

While legislation may be far in the future, nevertheless every interest affected is anxious to hear tho other side and to pre. sent its own case. Once the tariff be gins to be seriously considered, a public opinion in favor of revision will bi. built up. It does not seem to be clear just where the demand for the hearings originated but it is believed that Herbert Hoover was consulted before the ways and means committee sent out its call and that the original reason was to justification for an upward rather than a downward revision.

Nothing is more complicated than a tariff revision process and the interested parties have been given a relatively space of time in which to present their respective cases. On the face of it congress shows signs of getting all tangled up and the only answer will be an extra session.
