BloonWburg start the new' year with. $3,620 in the borough treasury. The Hazle township school board has found it necessary to borrow 98, OOO to meet current bills. Beginning this week, the Blooms burg stores close at 6 p. which is new departure for the merchants vt that town.

Miss Laura Hooper, of Curtis street, won the silver tea set and server given away by" Harry W. Taseen, jeweler, during the holidays. The total disbursements of the Corambia. county commissioners, last year wer4 857,053, an increase of $12,052 over the previous year. Say re's town council is very much bothered over the light question.

It has been decided to have only six arc lights in the village, and this has caused a storm1 of protest fromi the It was announced today that the Wilkesbarre lodge of Elks has secured an option on a prominent building, in. that city, and that it is likely the property will be purchased In the near future and transferred into a 'home for the lodge. Among the true bills returned by the grand jury to court this morning "were those in the cases of the Jenkins township election officers who are charged with having violated the election laws. They will be required to stand trial before the county court. The Catawiesa rouncllmen.

in charge of the borough electric light plant have decided to abandon the flat rate for electric lighting and the meter system will be adopted throuh ont the town. It was reported at the last council meeting that the light plant was in excellent condition. Special care was taken this year in Ailing the ColuAibia county jury wheel with the names of intelligent and representative citizens.

Members of the board of school control today made an explanation of the salary Increase given to Miss Price at the meeting Monday night. The Gazette commented unfavorably on the move, not on the merit of the for Miss Price is recognized as one of. the city's most efficient teach era. but because the board bv so do lng violated a rule that it had made only two months aito. The exDlana tion of the increase is that Miss Price teaches the eighth grade in Lincoln building, one of the most difficult in the city and the only other eighth grade teaotler in the city receives $75 a month.

Also several other teachers a grade lower receive higher pay by reason of their being principals of the outlying schools. It was intended at the time the salary act was drafted: to. have a special provision made that would do justice to Miss Price, but it' was in some manner overlooked and a special measure had to be' passed In order that the error might be rectified. COMMENT ON RECENT MINING DISASTERS "An Authority on Mining Matters" contributes the following bit of comment to the current issue of the Coal Trade Journal: "It is to be hoped that the State of Pennsylvania will cause an investigation by men who have both the intelligence and the courage to make a trustworthy and honest report on the causes ot the recent frightful mine disasters. The Investigation should be entirely outside the jurisdiction or direction'of the Chief of the Department of Mines, and not more than oie district mine inspector if any.

be on the board of inquiry. The State of Pennsylvania is paying between $180,000 and $176,000 a year for official supervision of its mines. More inspectors are being placed In the field, but the death rate still continues abnormally high. We cannot afford to have any more investigations similar to, the one made after the accident at. the Twin Shaft, in the Anthracite region, some years ago, which was so contradictory In Its statements that Governor Hastings very properly suppressed it.

The death rate In the mines for 1807 in Pennsylvania alone has been pimply, appalling." PERSONALS Mrs. Richard A.
