The message of Burgess Pow ell which was read to council was as follows: Gentlemen of the Borough Council: Wo have met and are orgur.lrcd to tako charge of the municipal affaire of tho bo rough for the ensuing year, and it be comes my diity to consult with you In re gard to the duties wo are to perfori. In doing so 1 wish to impress upon you thi fact that never before In tho history of the borough havo greater responsibilities confronted its olllclals. It Is to bo de plorul that notwithstanding tho high rate of taxation for some years pnst, that wo tlnd the borough so hcuily In debt, and 1 bcliee, Judslns from recent develop ments, that the fault has not been entire ly that of the borough council, but It Is very much due to the careless manner In which assessments have been mado and tho largo amount of exenerations allowed contrary to law. However, gentlemen of tho council, It Is for you tu grasp the sit uation as it is, and give the penplo that which they have u rltrht to expect, a Just and proffer administration of their affairs. I would suggest that ero you adjourn this 'mooting, you pass a resolution In structing tho borough auditors to prepare u detailed statement of the borough In debtedness at an early dato, nnd that you cause tho samo to bo published for the benefit of tho taxpayers. That many Improvements are needed Is patent to you all, but, I desire only to mention a few of them at this time. Tho question of sewerage is ono of the most important. Tho necessity of n better sys tem of dralnago Is soipparent, and con sidering tho great amount of dnmngo dono to our public roads and prlvato property by tho heavy rains on account of a lack of proper sewerage. It would bo a f-ource of economy to tho borough In not having to expend so much money in keep ing tho streets repaired; besides It Is greatly needed for tho benefit of tho pub lic health; I would, therefore, respect fully suggest that Inasmuch as former councils have attended to some of tho preliminary work connected therewith, that you glvo It your Immediate attention and as boon as practicable have tho work carried on to completion. The question of better streets Is also ono (f Importance and deserves your atten tion, but In view of our present indebted ness and the urgent necessity of com pleting tho sewerngo system just men tioned, I deem It ndvlsablo to recommend nt this tlmo uny method of repairs other than that which has been followed for several years past, but hope that wo may. In the not distant future, be able to build streets of a more substantial character. I would also rt-commend that at your earliest convenience you will causo side walks to bo laid along lllakely strtet, from Cherry street to tho Scranton city line: also tho gradlrg and laying of sldo walk? on Clay avenue, between Grovo street und William street, and the exten sion of sidewalks along Elect! ic avenue, from Webster avenue to Washington ave nue, which Is most desirable on account of Its proximity to tho cemeteries and public buildings (the State Oral school, the Foundling Home and Homo for tho Frtendlessj located In that portion of tho borough, thus n nklng them more easy of access to tho general public and bringing them Into closer contact with a part of our borough which Is very dcslrablo for residence. Again In considering tho matter of Im provements, that part of Drinker street, leading frome Ulakely street to Sport hill, tdiould not bo overlooked, and it possible some arrangements should be made with tho Drinker Turnplko company whereby tho borough would have full control of that part of tho turnplko so that tho nec essary sldowalks could bo laid and the street kept In proper condition for tho comfort and convenience of tho residents of that portion of the boiough who thus far have not been favored with tho Im provements they so much desire, although having contributed a large proportion of Its taxes, besides It would add very ma terially to tho vuluo of property In that locality. In contemplation of the Improvements I have suggested, the enormous expense connected therewith should bo seriously considered und as they are to bo perma nent It would bo wise in arranging for tho payment of the samo, to Issue a series of bonds for a term of fifteen or twenty years, thus distributing tho burden of VAKICOCRLC AND ALL NERVOUS I1ISBASKS TIIArCB AND CURUD 'By the Animal Ktracti."

Tho Oenulno the algnature of "Johann t0HtetOtWtt taxation to bo borno between the present property holders and tho Increasing pop ulation which Is Miro to follow as a result of tho Improvements suggested; for I ven ture to assert that with a better system of sewcrago and better streets, our bo rough is destined to tiecomo ono of tho most desirable places of residence In this part of tho state. I dcslro to express tho appreciation of tho excellent work done by our lire de partment whenever their services luwo been rcuulrcd, and would heartily favor your lenderlnc them such assistance us they may need from time to time, that they may bo better able to perform tho duties required of them und keep paco with tho rapid growth of the borough. It Is also necessary to glvo soino atten tion to tho matter of police protection. Such regulation should bo adopted ns would acquire a mora extended scrvlco and greater security bo afforded our citi zens. I would, therefore, suggest that thcro bo employed ono chief of police, ono day patrolman, who shall also act ns Janitor of the borough building, nnd three patrolmen to bo on duty nt such times ns may hereafter bo determined by tho bur gess and chief of police. The salaries of said olllcers to remain tho samo as at present. Another matter In which we nro all In terested, Is the free delivery mall system. With nn estimated population of about fifteen thousand It scrms desirable that wo should avail ourselves or tho benelit of tho system, believing as I do that wo are justly entitled, to It by reason of tho amount of business done at our postolllce and tho large Increase to bo expected by Its adoption. I would, therefore, recom mend that this honornblo body petition tho proper authorities to grant us this privilege as soon as possible. In conclusion I wish to express my rratltude for tho hearty co-operation of most of our licensed hotel keepers In our endeavors to enforco the Sunday closing law and of closing up the so-called "speak "aslos." While I fully appreciate what has been accomplished I am nwnro of tho fact that there still remains a great deal to be dono In this direction, and l earnest ly solicit your nld and that of our citizens generally In this movement so that wo may ns far ns possible become a peaceful and law abldlncr community. Respectfully submitted, Dan Powell, Burgess. SHORT PARAGRAPHS. Charles Smith, of the firm of Smith Brothers, Is visiting friends In Blng hamton.
