Properly constituted authorities should be able to solve the problem without asking the citizens in gen- cral to express their opinions. The | fact e known. The high school cannot accommodate all pupils who wish to attend classes. It Is neces- ary to provide the accommodations {which the city lacks. This can be [ done by erccting an addition to the high school building or by construct- ing a new building in the north end | of the city. Eithe pensive, but one Is necessary. An addition to the high school is favored by the board which voters have chosen to administer school affairs. Mayor Paonessa inclines to that group of public opinion which prefers to have a new school erected in the north end. He is perhaps more easily influenced by talk along the streets, all of which is not prompted by solicitude for the city's | welfare although many men and | women sincerely believe | north end building is more desirable. The argument in favor of the school jboard is this The members have an opportunity of studying the problem more closely and, having been aware for some time that con- ‘dillonn were reaching a crisis, have idn\alf'd more attention to the sit- uation than the average person not associated with school department {afrair As the head of the municipal | Rovernment Mayor Paonessa must exercise caution over expenditure: He was elected to office partly be- cause property owners know him to frown upon waste and extravagance. Naturally he wants to reach the most suitable way out of the dilemma which the city confronts. The writer does not believe this solution can he reached by means | of a public forum where the volce of incxperience, not to mention the voice of personal parsimony, some- !times shouts louder than the voice of conecrvative judgment. Greut Snakes! Reptiles Abundant in This Vicinity. Few people realize the number of poisonous, snakes that infest this immediate locality and would be surprised to learn that in theé last few years as many as 58 deadly poi- sonous copperhead snakes have heen Kilted in a small section of the many as 21 snakes in a single day during the scason of 1926 Only a few weeks ago the three men started their explorations to the | Ragged mountains again and found | the snakes still as plentiful as ever. ! They have killed 24 of the reptiles so far this year and a short time 1ago they Killed 13 in one day. The snakes all averaged about two feet in length and arc deadly poisonous. Years ugo poisonous snakes were ! very common in this state and were to be found in large numbers es- peeially In the woods and mountains in the viciity of this city. Shuttle Meadow was infested with the rep- tiles and even when the famous amusement park was located at the rescrvoir the snakes could be found within a 100 feet of the amusement places. Children visited the reser- voir often and their parents were ,always careful to see that they cid ‘not venture too near the woods. It is said that many a young couple received the fright of their lives as ,old “Dobbin” suddenly snorted at ght of a snake crawling across the {road and dashed madly down the road. Many young men from this city used to amuse ing trips to the old canal reservoir, armed with hea to how many snakes the: the clubs, could at kill. This was a dangerous pastime | and the boys generally received their fill of snakes the first time they went. ' were algo to be found at | White Oak and in the Pennacle ! Mountains to a large extent but Shuttle adow always held the upper hand. As the years rolled hy the reptiles at White Oak gradually disappeared and today they are practically none existing there. The Pennacle mountains still hoasts of a number of the reptiles but not compare with the Ragged moun- tains, Unpasteurized Ml Should Be Carefuily Chosen In a statement issued by the health officer of a nearby city to the newspapers of that community within the past few days on the subject of scptic sore throat one would be led to believe that all milk not pagteurized is unsafe.
