Mr, West, chairman specifications for the ceastruction of a frame building had been pre- pared and were ready for the inspec- ser, wanted to know why the matter had been put off and why it was not brought up a month ago instead of waiting uatil this time. No one ventured an explanation, and the council proceeded to con- sider other business just one hour after the town hall discussion start- ed. Councilman Burns, chairman of the fire committe, reported that he had been unable to find anyone owning a team near the town hall who was willing to consider hand ling the hook and ladder truck at any price, but had secured the ser- vices of Charles Kitchen at the rate of $3 for each fire, Assistant Fire preparing the plans and specifica- tions, and all other necessary details, was £500, about $200 less than the usual charge for a building of the cost of this one, and that the specifications for a fireproof building would cost $75 additional, He stated that the plans had been submitted to two local contractors, who pronounced them very coms plete and satisfactory. Before bonds can be issued to raise the necessary money to build the hall the matter must be submit- ted to the people to be voted upon, aad Councilman West suggested that the question be submitted to raise the sum of $25,000 for mu- micipal improvements, and that it be voted upon at the November election Councilman Evans asked wheth- er the plans and specifications had been submitted to the borough attorney and his opinion obtained as to their legality, He said that the building could not be erected during the winter, that it would have to wait until spring, that there was no need for hurry, and the matter could go over to the Febru- ary election and be submitted to the people at that time, Council~ man Samuels thought that the resolution to submit the matter could be voted on at that meeting and thea it could be advertised and voted on at the November election ; the constructive work could then be hastened. Evans wanted to i for Ridgeway to attend a state ro re, pea 8 know whether there was a man in the house who could draft a resolu- There will be a regular meeting | tion for submission that would be of the Council of the Degree of legal.

W. E. Case then appeared for the W. S. & A. Traction Company and asked permission to extend the power house switch south from the power house for a distance of 1350 feet, in accordance with a plan sub- mitted. He said that the company was going to erect a new barn and this switch would have to be built in order to let them get into the new barn, Councilman Hassler stated that he was willing that the permission should be granted, that the compaay had put fenders on the cars as requested, but he thought it pertinent to ask when they intended to put the track on Elmer avenue in the center of the street, Mr. Case replied that the company intended to lay heavy rails down Elmer avenue and did not wish to disturb the old rails until the new ones had been laid, $0 as to not interrupt traffic on the road. He said that the work would be done very soon and that he had intended to ask permission last evening to place a switch on Elmer avenue, but was prevented because that was not included among the purposes for which the meeting had been called. The permission was granted, the work to be done under the supervision of the street com- mittee. A number of sidewalk rebates were granted, two of them being term rebates for fifty per cent, One claim for 75 per cent. on a walk laid before the old ordinance granting 75 per cent. term rebates was re- pealed, was referred to the attorney for investigation. The claimants stated that the claim had been filed at the time the walk was laid, but that the papers had been lost, and for that reason not allowed.

The Macafee Concrete Company submitted a bill for $2640 for crosswalks. They refused to give a bond but sent a five year guaran- tee instead. The matter was re- ferred to the attorney. A bill for £43.50, for the care of the Wilbur hook and ladder com- pany’s team was ordered paid when the bill had been approved by the company, : The treasurer was orderpd to pay $113 28, due the Firemen's Relief association, A bill of about $50 for advertise ing and supplies was paid to the Sayre Times, The action of the treasurer in paying a note of $5,000, due the M.

Ely is the man who is suspected jof the robbery. He has been fre- quently in the company of Bryant lately and it is believed that he stole the key to the money drawer from Bryant. Ely was well ac- quainted with the fact that the money drawer contained consider- able money. When the detectives went to arrest Ely they discovéred that he had taken up a note for $73, pur- chased a suit for $20 and a pair of shoes for $5, besides making a present. He had but £12 10 when assested. Before the burglary Bryant says that Ely was broke. The police do not believe that Bryant was connected with the robbery, but he has been placed under arrest to insure his presence at the trial of his friend Ely, At esm—— DIXEY AT THE LOOMIS The name of Dixey is on nearly every tongue today. Dixey ap- peared at the Loomis last night to not a dull moment from the time the curtain rose until it fell. Dixey has chosen for a vehicle with which to amuse the public “The Man on the Box,” a three act American comedy drama, and it is the real goods. Dixey was backed by a clever company, the cleverest ever seen at the Loomis, Dixey himself is unequalled. He does not resort to funny wigs and beards, grease paints and grimaces, but he does possess that indescribable somes thing which has been called humor. He makes you laugh whether you want to or not. Those who were not there last night missed the only opportunity that this section has ever had of seeing a real comedian. Everyone who witnessed his work last night will unanimously unite in saying that nothing supsrior to it has ever been seen here before The house was filled to its capacity, not a szat being vacant. Manager Watrous has established a new record, that of sccuring the first legitimate comedian that has ever appeared on the stage of the Loomis. He will receive hearty support if he can induce Dixey and his excelent company of supporters to appear here at a future date.
