A few weeks ago Rev. W. E
Daw, rector cf Trinity church, re-
ceived a communication from a
lawyer statiog that a woman
named Freeborn had died in Paris,
leaving a legacy to the Athens

it was thought to be some other

ence followed which has estab-
lished the fact that the church in
this place is the one that will re.
ceive the legacy. Oa further ens
quiry it is found thata person
named Freeborn lived in Athens

The borough council met last
evening, Councilmen Tripp, Keefe,
Stevens, Nevias and Sutton being
present. In the absence of Presis
deat Weller Mr, Keefe was ap-
pointed chairman pro tem. After
payiag the curreat bills, Mr, Tripp,
chairman of the building commit.
tee, stated that No 4 hose house
had now reached such a stage of
completion that it becam: neces.
sary to install the wires for electric
lighting il it was to be done at all,
The gas piping was included in the
contract and were being put in by
the builder, and it was neccessary
to place the wires in the walls be-
fore the lath were put on, After
some discussion it was decided, on
motion of Mr. Stevens, that the
building committee be instructed
to have the electric wiring and
combination fixtures put in so that
gss and electric lights could be
used if found necessary; the cost
to be limited to an amount to be
agreed upon between the council
and the chairman of the building
committee. Dr. Stevens of the
special sewer commuttee, reported
that he, together with Councilman
Clark had visited the 1 cation
where the Chestout street reaches
the Chemung river and finds that
there is an outlet on the north side
of the street but on the cpposite
side there was no sidewalk along
past the Daskam property, and
that it should be put in and some
gravel filling made to protect the
Hines property frcm the water. It
being so late in the season it was
dcc:ded that nothing could be done
unt] rext year.
Mr. Nevins culled the attention
of the council to th: leak in the
city hall roof and it was decided
that it be remedied as soon as pos-
sible
Smith E kl:r was present and
s'ated that he bad come into
p:ssession of a lot from the Estas
brook property op E'm street and
desired to erect a building, but had
since learned that it was in the fie
limits and that no wodden building
cou'd be erected at that place. He
wished to get permission to put up
a temporary building of weod. Oa
looking up the borough ordinance
it was fourd that they had no
power to grant such concession,
and Mr, Eiklor was informed that
if he erected any building on that
location that it must conform to
the regulations.
S. K. Matteson appeared for No
3 hose company and wished the
borough to reimburse them for re-
pairs to the sewer to the amount of
$2, which they had paid out. This
was referred to Mr. Clark of the
sewer committee. .
