OLYPHAMT.
A short but lively session of the
council was held last night. The open
ing of bids for tho printing of the au
ditors' leport was the cause of tho
trouble. Tluee bids weie read; on
from the Scianton Tiuth, which agreed
to publish It three times for the sum
of $75, one from tho Olyphant Gazette,
which pioposcd to print it for $43; and
one from the Olyphant Beeoul which
merely ngiecd to publish tho report for
$33 83, but It did not specify the num
ber of times. Mr. O'Biien moved that
tho printing be given to tho lowest
bidder. Howard then took the lioor
and moved that it bo given to the
Gazette, as the Record's bid, he
thought, was too Indefinite. A vote
was token, which resulted in a tie of
six to six Mr. O'Biien then moved
nil bids be rejected and new bids ad
vertised for. This wan lost, also, by a
tie vote. A motion to adjourn ended
the discussion without any action be
ing taken on tho bids. Among other
matters to come before the meeting
was the Introduction of u resolution
authorizing the tieasuier to cash an
