POLICE CASEs.—Before Samuel Evans,
Esq.
Assault and Battery—Washington Duck,
made complaint against Robert Conley,
for whipping his, deponents son. Defen
dant discharged upon payment of costs.
Vagrant—Margaret Harris, was arrested'
by officer McGinnis, for gross and dis
orderly conduct at "Sawney Town." It
was a sad sight to behold the degraded
and outcast appearance of the defendant,
who but a few years ago, was respected—
vile associations with the Sawney tribe
was too much for her. Defendant com
mitted Ojai! for ninety days.
Larcency—Rebecca Fullerton, made
complaint against Wm. Sinclair, for steal
ing her water bucket from Niefer's pump.
It seems that the defendent ph , as chunk,
and took the bucket expecting to return it.
Defendant was arrested and brought up by
officer McGinnis. The defendent was dis
charged.
Susan S weeney, brought suit against a
person for entering her premises and by
chicanery obtaining posessioa of all her
title deeds, a watch and spectacles, with
which she decamped. As the case is un
decided wo refrain from making any com
ments upon it at present. '
Our Borough Charter.
• Ma. i.inirrott:—l perceive •by the pro
ceedings of the Town Council, that a com
mittee has been appointed to revise our
Borough Charter. We hope the gentle
men composing the 'committee, wi 11 appre
elate the responsibility of their appoint
ment, and that their revision of the act of
incorporation of our Borough will be com
mensurate with the progress and growing
iniportance of bur town.
We hope that the•; will distinctly keep
in view that the period is not very remote,
when the population.of•onr. Borough will
ho thrice what it is at the-present time.
Thu position.and location of Columbia—
being a centre and termination of many
Railroads, together with the facilities af
forded tArade bY'riVer and canal, secures
to her citizens constant and continual
'traffic. Its vicinity also abounding with
inexaustible banks of iron ore, its iron and
other manufactories Will necessarily con
centrate within the limits of our Borough
during the next tel. years, a dense and
large population. Therefore we would
suggest to the co in in itkid; that the perform
ance of the duty imposed 'Upon them is not
to provide an act of incorporation, for the
gOvernment of a population of six thous,
and inhabitants only, but that of twenty.
It haS been a matter of regret, entertain
ed by many of our citizens, that the Co- ,
lumbla Water Works were not purchased
by our Borough. They justly argue that
water and light should be furnished at the
cost of its production, and not made a
source of profit to a few capitalists who
may combine for pecuniary advantages
only. Thu Council are expected to keep
the town in a cleanly
. and healthful con
dition ; tosseeurs this,a plentifu/ supply
of water should be under their control, so
that the gutters and alleys could be cleans
ed in dry seasons ; the want of this priv
elige was signally manifested in a part of
our town a week or two ago. •.
The caliber of the water pipes, the locac
tion of fire plugs, should be regulated by
tbeCouncil If our water pipes were of
sufficient size, and fire plugs placed one
half square apart, it would require but a:
small expenditure for hose to serve at nriy
fire. in our Borough.
Would it not be well, were the commit
tee to insert a dause in the revision of the
charter permitting the Council or Borough•
authorities to purchase stock_ in. the_ Water
and Gas - corripanies; or the - entire" water
works.
The apportioning of our Borough into
three wards, making each a distinct elec
tion district, with a poll In each, would
prevent many indecorous scenes which oc
cur at polls, crowded by a multitude of
persons. •
The extentions of the limits of our town
would perhaps promote tbo interests of
our Borough.
The above suggestions we merely make
for the consideration of the committee,and
should any hints contained therein be
deemed practical, and their adoption
contribute to the management of our Bor
ough, the object of the writer of this com
munication will be achieved.
