Post Engaged onVarious Activities

Residents of Grove Place have depos it ed w it h t he bor ough aut ho ri ti es acompletely signed petition requesting thepaving of that street in accordance withthe provisions of the Street ImprovementI ss ue by m ea ns of which t he p ro pe rt yowners pay 30 per cen t. and the boroughpays the remaining 70 per cent. If thispetition is approved in i ts legal ity by theborough solicitor's office, and t her e isl it tl e doubt of such approva l, GrovePlace proper ty owncrs, as wel l as thoseon Wynnewood Cou rt , w il l s ee t he p ermanent improvement of thei r s treet th isseason at lower cos t to themselves thancan possibly be obtained at any futuretime in any other way.That sec tion of Rockland Road, f romNarberth to the rai lroad bridge, s ti ll remains in doubt, but only so far as t het erms o f p ayment f or t he imp rovement

are concerned. If f ou r- fi ft hs o f t heproperty owners on tha t s t ree t are willing to sign the same kind of a petit io n whi ch h as a lr ea dy b een s ig ned byt he p ro pe rt y own er s on t he o th er t wos tree ts , they can par ticipa te in the benefits o f t he bond i ssu e.]f, however , the Rockland Road property owners are not wilting to sign thatpetition in sufficient numbers to qualifyunder the bond issue , i t wit l be necessaryfor the borough anthori ti es to proceedwith the improvement of that s treet und er t he g en cr al s ta tu te s. I n s uch a c as eit would be lcgally impossible for any ofthe ava ilab le bond issue funds to be applied to that street, leaving the boroughauthori ti es no a lterna tive but to assessa ll o f t he cos t of the Rockland Road improvement against the proper ty ownersthere.The S tat e laws no longer p ermitboroughs to install such permanent pavements on streets which have not previously been improved and to t ak e t hemoney out o f c ur re nt tax receipts. Aspecial bond issue, ratified for that purpose by t he vot er s, a s was t he c as e w it hthe Street Improvement Bond Issue, ofcourse, makes money available, but that

money can be spent only in accordancewi th t he t erms g ov ern ing t he b ond issue. The Narberth Stree t Improvement Bond Is sue of $75:000 was approved by t he vot er s o f Nar be rt h in November, 1924, and s ince that t im e a pp roxima te ly f ou r m ile s o f s tr ee ts h av ebeen imp roved in a ccor danc e w it h t heterms of i t.The terms of t ha t bond issue p ro vided that the property owners shouldpay 30pe r c en t. o f t h e co st a nd that theyshould ind icate thei r agreement there toby a signed petition. It is impossible atthi s late day to change the te rms of thatbond issue and i t wou ld not be legallyf ai r t o t he h un dr ed s of Narberth property owners, who have previously complied with it, to grant any differenttermsto the people on Rockland Road. Aftera d el ay o f f ou r y ea rs , wai ti ng f or theircompliance, it is no longer possible forthe borough authorities to refrain longerfrom permanently improving that streetwhen public in te res t c lear ly demands i t.The re fo re , s ur veys have a lr ea dy b eenmade and hids have been adver ti sed for

cover ing the improvement of RocklandRoad as well as the other unpavedstreets. It is expected that the workwill be installed this season.

What happened? First of all agr eat m any very fine men who sewhole i nv es tmen t was tied up inbreweries and distilleries were suddenly depr ived of their businesses andincome without compen sa ti on . Sec ond, hundreds of thousands of saloonkeepers were f orc ed t o close theirdoors a nd t o seek a new form of employment. Third, t h e thi r sty of thenation were supposed to change theirchoice of beverages without any gradual warning almost overnight.It was some time before manvpeople a c tu al ly r ea li zed what hadhappened, and the ini t ia l e f for ts aten fo rc ement d rew cheers from them il it an t P ro hi bi ti on is ts , t he A nt iSaloon League and t he W . C. T. U.,a rc h e ne mi es o f "John Barleycorn."The temperate and moderate-drinkingpublic was d ismayed a nd n ot a littledefiant at what i t c on si de re d a n unreasonable infringement of i ts rights.The re was talk a bout the invasion ofpersonal liberty, t he i nvas ion of private homes and the general iniquityo f t he p ro cedu re . Such talk i s chi ldish. A man m ay n ot abuse h is w if eor children at home; the law preventsthat. He may n ot u se n ar co ti cs orsell them at home or be subject toarrest. Hi s "castle" is l ia bl e t o invasion from the forces of the law formany sorts of irregularities, so thatinvasion to stop illegal drinking isq ui te in keeping w it h o th er restrictions of personal liberties or licenses.I do, however, believe that this Act Iwas des igned wi thou t p rope r reg ardfor human psychology and with too 'grea t s tringency for t he pur po se intended, so t hat by overstepping itsalleged goal of temperance it inducedan era of utter lawlessness and licensesuch as our country had never b ef or eseen.Ne xt w ee k w e s ha ll start examiningthe effects of prohibition as we haveknown i t in the United States.
