READING, PA, FEBRUARY ,11, ,1922 A ONE The Chamber of Commerce has presented with another plan designed to relieve traffic on Perkio men avenue.

A suggested parkway beginning1 at 5th and tind extending all the way out Mineral Spring road to Mt. Penn, via. fche city park, wherein Is to foe located I the court house, appeals to the ira ftglnation But conference to which the prospect was submitted i has appar jjntly taken no official notice of it. The author of the plan would place fre court housed in, park, with underground passage way to the prison. And, city hall would be imovedy the present court house.

le admits there might be a lot of ffbJections to "his proposal. But It isn't a bad one, at that. The coat operators assure, us they can supply the demand in ti event of a strike. But the con sumer will have to continue to fl dig for the price. jr MAY REMAIN Recreation; Director Schneider has jbcceded ftO'the wishes of many persons and reconsidered Ms resignation remaining here now defends upon.

Schneider's action is pleasing to a many Reading persons Jrho appreciate the work he has feccompfished here in a short He has succeeded in winning? public iapprobation. Continued success, how will depend upon his receiving the co operation and assistance 'of the together with ''the financial aid to carry out his Whether this will be forthcoming remains to be seen. The recent Jlareup lias somewhat clarified the Situation.

It.

It is too bad. of course.

The state agent declares there are 6,000 un licensed purps in Berks county. At a dollar, apiece that would provide the $5,000 paid Bcidleman, by Snyder as extra compensation, and leave a thousand dollars for some bosom friend In Schuylkill county. We say It again, it is too bad. The state agent says it is astonishing, the large number of persons who have neglected. to.

Almost as. as as' the speed with which tho fctate machine gote away with the licenses after they are To be( sure tho law Js here, and Jibe tax jnuat be paid, regardlwis' of Jhow the state authorities distribute The state speeialagent says, that )there are many complaints about un (jtoonsed dogs killrng Hve.Btok and' the department Intends to rid the state of as many unlicensed dogs aa possible. From we gather that a licensed dog may kill as much livestock as his canine instinct dictates.

The death rate among Americans in1921w.as vlowosti.ever recorded, averaging all causes, says the insurance company. There were only 17 deaths fo'r every .,2,000 population, compared with 25, in 1911.

The petitions were filed after a mass meeting, at which the action of Judge Christopher in discharging the grand Jury was denounced and his immediate resignation demanded. The meeting followed a demonstration in superior court, where spectators applauded an attack upon the decision by James Hepburn, county attorney, and some spectators shouted "take him out and hang him," refering to the judge.
