Fix Wa gc Scale for Sewer Cleaners at 83 Cents an Hour Speeding 'through routine business in 15 minutes, council held its weekly meeting yesterday instead of today, its regular meeting day because of Lincoln's birthday. The hall will 'be closed today. Couirciiman Maurer's motion carried' that all bids be rejected for laying a new concrete floor and making other improvements at the Never sink fire engine house.

"I want this done," he explained, "because I find the information we fave contractors was too indefinite, will have clearer and more precise specifications dra wii now and ask for new bids." On motion of 'Councilman Hoverter the bid 'of Elli6t Fisher, of Harris burg, for" a new $2,170 accounting and billing machine, for use mostly in making out water bills, was accepted. At present the bills are made out by It keeps two men busy doing this work. About 9,500 bills are sent Out monthly. They can be turned out on the machine at the rate of 290 an hour. The machine will not be ready for delivery' until May as it has to be specially built.

No Wage Scale Councilman Snyder introduced an ordinance fixing the pay of pitmen at 834 cents, an hour, and of truck drivers at 60 cents an hour. "We have" no wage schedule fixed by ordinance now," he said. "Until the, city recently took over the work, previously done by contract, of cleaning catch basins, the city employed no pitmen. It is not very pleasant work they are called on to do, and I feeU they are entitled to 83 'A. cents an hour.

"Dp to this time different departments have their own wage scale for truck drivers. Some paid 55 cents, and some 60 cents an hour. The ordinance now makes the scale uniform for all departments. It also gives the, drivers 10 cents an hour more than laborers I think they deserve this, because of the responsibility they carry." 7 iA Maurer ordinance Introduced yesterday amends the building code so only front porches must be constructed with one half of each of three vertical sides either glass or unenclosed. At resent this section of the code also includes rear porches.

Release Lots From Lien Mayor Stump was authorized by resolution to release from lien three adjoining lots, 186, 187, 188, on the east side of Lancaster, axepue in the township of Cumru.

Ahg stadt will take over the work of handling traffic tags in the police department, where this work was transferred when the council abolished the Cherry street pound on February 1.

His salary is $1,440 a year. JVfust Pass Test The other three men will start work next Monday to familiarize themselves with duties required of them when the new police and fire alarm system begins operation in about three weeks. Binder and Rufe will receive $1,500 a year each. They also will have to pass a civil service examination later to continue in their positions. McDevitt has been receiving $1,600 a year.

In his new place he will get $1,500. but have much more regular and convenient hours. This transfer leaves a vacancy for a lineman to be filled later. WANTS FLINT HILL NAME RESTORED Members of the Historical Society of Berks county were asked last night by Henry K. Deisher.

11 I. Reading Woman, Former Slave Freed By Lincoln, Honors Memory Today Mrs! Ellen Scott Retains Visions of Lash De scending on Her Back TpHE GREAT EMANCIPATOR was her personal emancipator. Today Abraham Lincoln's birthday may mean. Ior the rest of us, a few flags here and there, pictures of Lincoln on magazine covers and the bank doors closed. But to Mrs.

Ellen Scott, 79 year old Reading mother and grandmother, it is the anniversary of the birth of the man who took her body out of slavery, her soul out of bondage and gave to her, Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation made Mrs. Ellen Scott oi steading a iree 'roaay Mrs. Scott, from the bottom of her heart, pays homage to the memory of Abraham Lincoln. She is, so far as she Knows and so far as other Negro citizens know, the last surviving former slave in Reading. She was 12 years old wnen the Emancipation Proclamation, in January, 1863, paved tne way to release her from bondage on a 'Ken tucky plantation, when the Yankee soldiers arrived later.

She lives at 132 Rose st. and has been in io. years. Remembers Whip There's a constant picture in her mina oi a lasn descending on ner back, of Confederate soldiers threat enincr to shoot her. of Yankee soldiers giving her money, of thousands of her Negro kin weeping for joy when the Proclamation freed them from slavery and of thousands more weep inor for fear lest thev should starve with 110 white masters to feed them.

"We could not. feel the joy that folks think we felt," Scott said vesterdav. "We had not been taught to have feelings, except fear; Ground down, Deaten. taugnc mat egroes should not be allowed to read or write, there was but one thing we tnougnt xu was xnc iusii, nw horrible way it whistled on our backs, ftnrf trm ra.t.ineK we received. "I know that Abraham Lincoln must have been a great man but I do not remember anything of him, nor do I remember when we were set free.

Just how good Lincoln was I think that the Negro people today understand much better than I do; My mind still fixes on the bad treatr ment Born Into Slavery'" Born a slave on a plantation at Owensboro in Davis county, Kentucky, Mrs. Scott has lived to own her home here and to have seven children of whom she is proud. Her health is good, her teetn stiu penect despite her 79 years, and her main concern is that she cannot read and write. Twlnnmu? planter called Albert Ewell," she recalled with the aid of a son, wroy Morgan. "i xne acta nf five he hired me out to an other planter called Al Galbard to look his children.

How much Ewell was paid by Galbard I don't know. "Ewell did not treat me well and his daughter Alice was very bad. Whenever would pick up a prmieu scrap of paper around the plantation she would hit me with a whip and say, 'You'll be learning to read and sunn. Read tne and writing is for white folks and not for Negro trash. "Mv mother belonged to Ewell, too.

but my father belonged to Jimmv Burton, another planter. I think they met wnen my uuier ucu hu Rurtrfn to Ewell." When Mrs. Scott talks about her days as a slave, sne talks mosuy ui Deatings. No Brand Oh Her. "I have no "marks of slavery' on me.

The only marks they put on he. The only marks they put on were with a whip." As her mind follows the story of her childhood ano rescues ure point where the Yankee soldiers came to the plantation where she was a slave, she smiles broadly. She does not call the northerners Yankees but Republicans. 1 "Tf frnnri whan the ReDublican soldiers came," she says. "They would drle all the Democrats (meaning the Kentucky wnne peupio away.

Then they would take us slaves and see that we ate all the food that we wanted and they would give us money. After they had 5r.nA" and at this point she laughs out aloud "there was never one single chicken leit on tne pauumuu. m.AT, tvmnnnbi would come back and we would be beaten, and when the Democrat soldiers came they would threaten to shoot us. One of them pointed to me once and said Get inside the house there or 111 kill and believe me I ran into tn. nouse ior mar mc.

anft. Tioupi raw Xjincoln DUt she is sure she saw Gen. Robert E. Lee. Remembers' Beard "I remember him by his beard," she says.

a. Of the events after the war she remembers little. She does not recall the' warning of September 22, 1862, that slaves would be ordered set free, nor does she remember the final proclamation of January 1, 1863, which said she and all other slaves must be Thenceforward and Forever Free." After being freed her parents started a little plantation of thelr own and managed to exist. "The Democrats told us we would starve when we were set free, but we didn't," she says. Mrs.

Scott married' and lived In various parts of Her husband died and she married a second time, coming to Reading her husband 10 years ago. "We are happy now she says. "The Negro folks are making progress and becoming educated. I try fnrrjr. the davs when I was a child, i have forgotten most every thing except tne wmp ana me war.

FREED FROM 1 SUAVERV BY VV LINCOLN'S "5" PROCLAMATION 'j vj' LONG JAIL BOARD SESSION LIKELY Fight on 1 i i and i Physician to Be Re sunned Today With reports due from the special "judiciary" and "medical" committees, and Warden Mosser scheduled to present his staff appointments for confirmation, prison inspectors will go into the monthly session today prepared tflt spend many hours around the meeting table. That the heavy artillery of verbal fire will be hauled out to echo the barrage which marked the reorganization meeting in January seemed likely yesterday. Although the Rev.

Darlington R. Kulp, new Republican inspector, who was the storm center at the last meeting, when he opposed retention of the solicitorship and set up strenuous objections to the reelection of Dr. tiarry B. Schaeffer, prison physician, yesterday declined to discuss today's meeting, it was reported that the pastor inspector will continue his objections. The and "medical" com mittees both grew out of Kulo's bolt ing at the January meeting.

The "judiciary" committee was named to see tne court aoout tne legality oi continuing to name a solicitor when Kulp claimed that the special jail act of 1848 did not provide for the post neia Dy ljeonard t. Yoaer. 'ine court subsequently told the committee that it could not settle the matter unless It came to it through legal channels, and let the problem for the board to solve. Yoder has been solicitor for 17 years. The "medical committee was named to Investigate charges of "dereliction of duty," which Kulp saw nao oeen raised against ur Schaeffer.

The ohvsician. Kuln said had not Visited prisoners fortnightly as required by law and had neglected prisoners who were ill. The committee named to look Into the matter held one meeting, behind closed doors, and did not announce their findings. Members of the committee said they will report at today's session and leave the matter up to the ooara. Thus the Inspectors will have prac tically the same problems on their nanus toaay tnat tney naa more than a month ago.

That Yoder will be re elected, after the solicitorship is created, seemed likely yesterday. Inspector Jacob M. Bordner. leader oi tne "pro soucitor group, probably win nave enougn votes to support rus motion to name Yoder today. If Yoder is named, there looms the possibility that the Prison Economy association, on whose platform Kulp was eiectea, may start a taxpayers suit to oust Yoder.

Although the warden's appointments customarily are made at the February cession, Mosser yesterday saiu cnac, unless tne Doara asks it. he will defer naminsr his staff until There will be no cnanges or additions, ne said.
