MAYOR AND COUNCIL
ALL HANDS WILL TURN OUT AND
MAKE SHORT WORK OF RE
PAIRING LAKE STREET
The village council met In regular
session nt the assembly room of the
town hall Tuesday night with several
Important matters to be settled.
Severuf residents of North Lake
street were present at the meeting to
complain of the condition of that
street While the street at the present
Miae in passable It ts the aim of those
,\vho travel the road a great deal to
have the repairing dune at this time
betore the winter weather. It Is the
opinion of some that If some kind of
repair* In not. done at this time that
there In a possibility that in real bad
weather It would be Impossible to even
drive over the.road to do any repair
work. The council authorized the
clerk to order at least two cars of cinders and possibly more if it Is needed,
and several of the residents of that
part of town agreed to donate their
services' together with several teams
of horses to haul the cinders and get
the road in passable condition for the
winter. Several members of the council and Mayor Smythe also agreed to
donate at leant a day of their time to
help get the cinders on the road when
they arrive.
J. A. Neater, general manager of the
Cleveland Southwestern and Columbus
Hallway company, was present and dlB-
cussed the matter ot changing the Y
in Milan avennue to the middle of the
street. Mr. Nester submitted a rough
estimate furnished by a Cleveland
Cbncern who does all of their special
work of this kind and gavo the council
an idea of what the change would cost
his company. He stated that If the
■vork of paving on Milan avenue could
be deferred until spring that the company ' possibly would be In shape at
that time to do the work, but was la
doubt If they would make any change
at present. The council coujd not see
any way in which the paving could be
put off until spring.
Oeorge Keller registered a complaint
to the council that the present paving
on Lincoln street would cause an extra drainage of water on his property
and that there should be some meant)
provided to curry the water in some
direction that It would not damage his
property. Mr. Keller claims that the
drainage on his property before the
paving was bad enough but that» as
soon as the paving is finished that the
water will run on bis property with
greater force and will be apt to be of
greater damage. The street and sidewalk committee from the council were
Instructed to look over the condition
of the drainage at that point and to
see if it is possible to make any
changes.
An estimate of the work actually
done on paving was submitted by the
engineers and passed on by the council.
The ordinance committee was Instructed to draw an ordinance to govern the burning of rubbish and waste
paper in alleys and back of stores as
is the practice in several places. Smoldering Are has been found late at night
in several Instances as the result of
these rubbish fires being left to naturally burn out.
An ordinance governing the length
of time In which automobiles may be
parked in one place In the business
section will also be drawn.
Ordinances to proceed with the constructing ot sanitary sewers on Beaver.
Court and Mill avenue were passsed
at last night's meeting and the work
will actually start as soon as preparations can be made.

STATE SENATOR
AT CHAPEL
HIGH SCHOOL 8TUDENT8 ARB INSPIRED BY FORCEFUL SPEECH
ON "OUR GOVERNMENT"
Senator J. F. Burke of Elyriu addressed the students of the local high
school last Friday morning at the regular chapel hour. An effort had been
made for the past three weeks to obtain Mr. Burke ut one of the preceding chupels but business obligations
prevented him from doing so. However, his speech on Friday morning was
very much appreciated by the student
body.
Mr. Burke used as hls'suFject, "Our
Government," which was very fitting.
He enumerated the many incidents In
our history which can be applied to
every phase In ev -y-day life. He
traced the making of laws from the
time the government was first formed
up to and Including the present time,
stating the many improvements and
progresses that the American people
have made.
In closing he stated, "How would
you answer this question: Am I, an
American citizen, worthy of my government?" This thought was implanted in the minds of the students and
new effort has already been put forth
to abide by tho discipline and laws
governing school work ,
William Bodmann, business manager
i.i the Bugle, announced the standing
of the classes, relative to the number
of students in each class who have
subscribed to the Bugle. The report
shows the Senilis 100 per cent, Juniors
100 per cent, Sophomores 92 per cent,
end Freshmen 87 per cent. An endeavor is now being made to raise the
percentage in the two lower classes.
Music was also au important feature
of the morning. The Misses Evelyn
and Carolyn Guild rendered two piano
solos. Several songs were sung by
the student body, the closing song being the Star-Spangled Banner.
The i-Impel was led by Theodore
Neumelster, president of the Student
Senate. A few visitors have been

SCORED AGAINST THEIR OPPONENTS IN FIRST QUARTER
BUT FAILED TO REPEAT
The Amherst professional football
team tool their opening game of the
season to the Metropoles of Lorain at
;h ■• Hoffman Heater athletic field last
Sunday by u two-point margin, the
I'm il sr >re being | to 7 with Lorain on
ihe long end.
The game wus perhaps the beet
staged tn this part of the county by
professional teams, which Is speaking
a great deal for the two teams.
Taking the game as a whole the Amherst out lit outplayed their opponents
In every stage of the game except in
the second quarter, when "Shim" Gove
playing hulfliuek for Lorain caught a
forward puss over the goal.
Amherst sturted out strong by scoring ou the i.ni .unite ; in the first quarter when XicholB took the ball over on
a line plunge.
From that period on the Amherst
outfit hud the ball In Lorain's territory nearly all of the time. In this
period Amherst fumbled the ball on
their twenty yard line, which was recovered by u Loruin mun behind Amherst's goal, which guve Loruin a tally
of two points. Shortly after this safety Shim Gove replaced Collins in Lorain's buck field. Gove received three
forward passes, which took the ball
across the goal. The goal waa kicked
which left Amherst two points behind.
Amherst went into the game in the
third quurter and started some real
playing. Ilruee had replaced Ludwlg
In Amherst's buck field. Gates was
shifted from guard to center, taking
out Hanson and putting Swleen In
gaard, In this period Nichols took
the ball over the goal line twice with
two long runs of about 50 yards, but
stepped out of bounds in doing so,
leaving the ball with only four yards
to go at two different periods. Amherst failed to put the ball over those
four yards both limes, which lost the
giime for them.
In the lust quarter both teams punted buck und forth und no real playing wus exhibited by either team.

Mr. Keller claims that the drainage on his property before the paving was bad enough but that» as soon as the paving is finished that the water will run on bis property with greater force and will be apt to be of greater damage. The street and sidewalk committee from the council were Instructed to look over the condition of the drainage at that point and to see if it is possible to make any changes. An estimate of the work actually done on paving was submitted by the engineers and passed on by the council. The ordinance committee was Instructed to draw an ordinance to govern the burning of rubbish and waste paper in alleys and back of stores as is the practice in several places.
