He will deliver lectures in several of the "cities named Borough Oificiak Decide to Enforce Ordinance Regulating the Placing ol Wires Undergound. The question as to whether the Bell Telephone Company or the Keystone Telephone Company will be required to comply with an ordinance which was adopted by the Clifton Heights borough council, in October 1301 came to what look? like tmal issue on Tuesdav evening, at the regular meeting of the council, which passed a resolution offered by Councilman Arthur Bartsch, to the effect that the Bell and Keystone telephone companies be required to comply ''h an ordinance passed in October. 1901. requiring that all telephone wires must be placed underground within ten. years from the passage of the ordinance, and that the com-anies proceed to do this work at once.

In 1901 the Bell Telephone Company accepted'an ordinance which granted this company, as well as the Keystone Telephone Companv the right to construct poles and string- -wires for telephone service in the borough of Clifton Heights. This measure distinctly made It imperative with each of the companies that at the end of ten years all wires and noles must be removed from the surface and the wires laid in The time has lapsed, and it is now up to the company to put the wires underground, unless Council changes its decision of Tuesda- night. For months the council and representatives of the telephone companies have been endeavoring to some definite conclusion which woulo. be satisfactory to both sides, but without avail. ASKED FOR TIME.

At the meeting on Tuesday night. CH. Stauffer, one of the right of way agents for the Bell Telephone Company, appeared before council and made an appeal to that body offering a compromise. Mr. Stauffer said that his company would at once lay the on Baltimore avenue under ground, remove the present poles on the same avenue with a proviso that the borough council extend to the company the right to erect poles and wires on the side street for a certain number of years, or in other words it would be an extension of time for eliminating wires and poles on all side streets in the borough.

Mr. Stauffer also pointed out that there are but 80 subscribers in the borough, from which the company receives a revene of about $2,220 per annum while the up-keep of the system underground about $2,800. Mr. Stauffer said that from a business standpoint it would not nay the company to put' the telephone system underground all over the borough. 'Mr.

Stauffer admitted that at the time the ordinance was accepted giving the telephone company the right to lay wires -underground at the expiration of ten years, the company had in mind that the business in Ciit- ton Heights and vicinity would increase to such a degree that it would have paid the company to place its wires underground. Councilman Haynes said that it the company were given an extension of time as far as the side streets are concerned and that the wires be placed under ground on Baltimore avenue this would be the best way out of the trouble, at this time. Mr. Haynes favored extending the time to a certain number years for- putting wires underground on the side streets. President Patrick Hayes said that he was tired of the quibbling and that this was the time for action.

He said that as far as he was concerned the ordinance passed in. 1901 must be carried out in full. He said company was a part maker of the ordinance, and that it should now be willing to take its own medicine. He said the wires must go underground on every street Here it was that Councilman Bartsch offered the resolution, which was adopted, that the telephone companies comply with the ordinance and place their wires underground. A communication was read from the Clifton Heights and Ladder Company asking council to exempt the company from paying- taxes on its new flre house on Baltimore avenue and Diamond street The request was Haynes.

A large batch of bills presented for payment were laid on the table because the Finance Committee had failed to audit the bills and President Hayes reprimanded the councilman for' their carelessness. Among the bills' was one from Thomas F. Manley for the rebuilding of, a heavy fence on Bridge street, which cost about $134. Mr Bartsch objected to this bill because be said the Highway committee had no right to do work amounting to to over $50 without advertising for bids. This brought up a discussion between the councilmen and President Hayes said that all bills must be audited.

Mr. Hayes explained that it was necessary to do the work without bids as it was dangerous place and the work had to be done to avoid a possible accident. Council adjourned to meet at the call of the chair. SMASHED PLATE CLASS.

Get It at Winch's. Hugh Rea Successfully Shoes Unbroken AnirnJs From the West That Younger Men Hugh Rea, one of Upland's oldlst residents and for many years a blacksmith and horse-shoer, demonstrated yesterday that old age is not bringing any fear of horses with it. and that he is still a better man than most young men at the business. Some weektf ago a Chester horse dealer received a carload of broncos from the West, and sold them about this section. One of the purchasers of the- ponies went to several shops yesterday morning, and at each plarce the smith refused to tackle the unshod beasts.

Mr. Rea the last one tried as he professes to be able to shoe any horse On tiie streets, and he. upheld his reputation by securely-tacking a set of shoes on this kicking, plunging native of the Wild West. During the day he also had two oilier representatives of the same car load to shoe, and did his work successfully in all three Instances. WhenMt is remembered that 'the aged" blacksmith is well along toward his four-score mark, his performance marks him 'as an unusual man.

STUDENT HANDS OVER MONEY. A good, story is being told at the expense of one of the students at the Crozer Seminary who resides in Upland. It appears that this student took a trip to Piladelphia several days ago, and after purchasing his ticket he dropped hia change in his coat pocket and hurried out to catch a train. After he had boarded the train he accidentally Jostled a fellow passenger, and several coins jingled on the floor. The young divine apologized, and.

picking up the money handed it to his fellow passenger. This man thanked him and passed on and shortly aftarward when tho student reached in his pocket for chang.6 he found nothing but a hole, and realized that he had handed his own money to this fellow passenger. YOUNG SON ARRIVES. Georga Nichols, a well-known resident of Upland, Is wearing a smile of unusual breadth just at present, and is receiving the congratulations of friends. The occasion?

PAVING BILLS. There is considerable discussion regarding the surveyor's fee of 3 per cent on the paving bills Just Issued The Idea seems to be that the borough is paying 3 per cent, also the property owners. This is not correct Council is simply advancing this 3 per cent to the surveyor monthly on the certificate to the paving contractor, and as tne paving bills are paid by the property owners, this 3 per cent on each will be credited and become part of the bor- ousti's funds in the sewer and paving account There is no discount on these paving they are net thirty day Bi according to the State laws of OUR SEWER.
