Brief Meeting of Borough Council. |
Just five members of borough coun-
cil—the necessary quorum—were
present at the regular meeting on
Monday evening, the last for the
present year. President Walker was
in the chair and when it came to the
approval of the minutes he asked if
there were any objections to the ap-
proval of the minutes of the meeting
of November 15th, which had been
held over at the last meeting owing
to the passing of the ordinance pro-
viding for the sale of a tract of moun-
tain land belonging to the Pruner
orphanage. Mr. Cunningham and
Mr. Harris stated that they had
objected to the approval of the
minutes, simply because they did
not know anything about the
proposition and naturally wonder-
ed why the sale was being made
and if it would be advantageous to
the orphanage to sell it. President
Walker stated that the trustees have
been trying to sell the land for ten
years. That while there is some tim-
ber on it, it is so located that it is very
difficult to get at and will cost almost
as much as it is worth to get it out.
That the taxes on the land aggregate
ninety dollars a year and since it was
bequeathed to the Pruner orphanage
the trustees have paid over (fifteen
hundred dollars taxes on it without
deriving a cent of revenue and that is
one reason they have been desirous of
getting rid of it. Mr. Cunningham
stated that he wasn’t objecting to the
sale but he did think that the trustees
ought to come before council and ex-
plain why they desired to sell the
property, and that would relieve coun- |
cil of the burden of the sale if it is |
ever questioned. He further stated
that he was of the opinion that the
water right should also be included
two gracious things w
some friend. In fact
ciate greatly.

clear over in the Philipsburg and Sandy
Ridge section. He was feeling a bit dis-
pleased because of the condition of part
of the road in upper Bald Eagle, but as it
seems to have been unavoidable we do not

forecasted would catch it with a perfectly
smooth surface. The night the scraping
was finished a traction engine ran over it
and the next morning the freeze came:
Result, all the road torn up and frozen in
frightful ruts that can't be scraped out
now at all unless the bed thaws an inch
or so.
