COUNCIL PASSES BILL-
. BOARD ORDINANCE
ALL BILLBOARDS NOW IN VIOLATION OP THB ORDINANCE TO
BE   MOVED  BY JUNE  1
Two Important measures were
pa-god by the village council st a
•pedal meeting held laat Friday night,
on concerning the 'erecting of billboard* and the other concerning the
paving of Milan avenue. Both matters
have been before the council for aome
time and have received their careful
consideration.
The aecond atep in the neceaaary
legislation to proceed with the paving
of Milan avenue waa pasaed. The
plana and epeclflcatlons for the paving
have been before the council for aome
time, they having paaaed on them at a
meeting In February. The plana call
for draining, paving and curbing of
Milan avenue from the west line of
Main street to the center line of Hamilton street. The material to be used
will be concrete and work will start
as soon as the remainder of the necessary legislation can be basted.
Another point of vital interest was
that of restricting.the erecting of billboards in the corporation of Amherst
village. The ordinance thus passed
mates that no billboard ahall be erected In the village of Amherst with a
greater height than eleven feet and
four inches; that no sign board shall
be erected within fifty feet of a build
Ing used for residential purposes with
In the corporation and that in case
one now already exists within the said
limits It must be removed before June
1, 1912; that the billboards shall be
erected to resist a horizontal wind
pressure of thirty pounds to the square
foot; that the supports and standards
of -the sign shall be sunk at least
three feet below the level of the
ground in order to maintain the. substantiality.
The passing of the above ordinance
will no doubt relieve some of the existing conditions. Not only are many
of the billboards unsightly but are In
a position to endanger the safety of
pedestrians.

FIRE DRILL COMPLETED
IN FIFTEEN SECONDS
ALARM     VISAS     SOUNDED     UNEX
PECTEDLY    TO    TEST    THE
VALUE OP PIRE DRILLS
Owing to the fact that tbe building
of the addition on the present school
building has made it necessary to remove some of the Are escapes, Supt.
F. R. Powers for the past few weeks
has been urging that students take
care in leaving the building when the
alarm for Are drill is sounded. As a
result of his explanations, fire drill
was called Tuesduy afternoon shortly
before three o'clock and the building
was emptied in 15 seconds which Is
the lowest amount of time that the
building has been vacated during the
entire school year.
The alarm was turned In as a surprise and the results were remarkable
considering that sfeveral of the Are
escapes have been removed.
The average amount of time to.empty the building has been one minute
throughout the school year and the
Are drill Tuesday broke all records
for this year.
Despite the fact that the school
building is in auch a condition at pres
ent to lengthen the time of vacating,
Mr. Powers is assured that there is
no immediate danger of fire and in
case there is that the students will be
able* to get out in a reasonable length
of time.

PROF.   CHENEY   DELIVERS
STIRRING ADDRESS  8UNDAY
Prof Cheney, of Youngstown, tilled
the pulpit ofihe Methodist Congregational church last Sunday and delivered two stirring sermons which were
greatly appreciated by the congregation. Ills morning service subject was
How Shall the Young Man Mend His
Ways?" Prof. Cheney based his question and solution on the moral side
of life, which he believes to be very
low at the present time. In the evening he spoke on "Truth." This sub-
ject was equally a. interesting as his
morning subject and was based upon
bis own  experiences.
Prof Cheney hus made a study of
mun for forty years and has lectured
to thousands of people. Hie careful
study has enabled hlm to come before
audiences and give them facts about
such subjects that were treated here
last Sui.day
