The matter of the taking out of an
arc light on Clinton avenue, and the
substitution of two incandescents was
referred to the light comittee with
power to act Trustee Farley stated
that the light appropriation bad been
already overspent by $500
The matter of the bill rendered the
street csr company for paving was
reported not to have been paid, and
it was decided to agsin ca | the atten-
tion of the company to the matter.
A resolution was introdcced by
Trustee Farley to the effect that in-
asmuch as the Lehigh raliroad had
put on a train morning and evening
by which the workmen were trans-
ported to and frum Sayre [ree of cost,
thereby making it easier for the men
to live In Waverly, that the trustees
of the village express their apprecia-
tion for the same, and that the mer-
chauts of Waverly patronize the Le-
high whenever possible, and that a
copy of the resolution be sent toc the
superintendent of the Lehigh.
The resolution carried unanimous-
iy.
fhe report of the fire inspectors
was then read. It went on to stale
that generally the condition of busi-
ness places was satisfactory so far
as dangerous accumulaitons in and
about the premises is concerned. One
merchant had refused to allow the in-
spectors to enter the premises
The inspectors also called the at-
tention to the fact that in many of
the bulldings over two stories high
there were ouly one stairway, and
this constituted the only way In
which persons could get out of the
buliding. This io the light of exper-
fence that Ithaca has bad In recat
fires would seem to need ren.odving
The matter of an air shaft in the
Tioga hotel was also brought up. The
shaft it seems contains a smoke flue,
and a large number of elecrtic wires
Rubbish is allowed to accumulate In
this shaft, and it creates a very dan-
gerous condition. It has been on fire
once, and it was only by promapt work
that a serious fire was avertd
The inspectors also stated that it
was their opinion that there were not
a sufficient number of fire escapes on
the opera house, and at no time
should people be allowed to stand In
or block the aisles.
On motion of Trustee Howard the
report of the inspectors was referred
to a committee of which the president
is the chairman. This committee was
given authority to confer with the
opera house people and have them
make some definite propostion rela-
tive to securing the safety of tho
people in case of fire and have it put
in operation within a definite time
The president appointed Trustees
Farley and Howard to act with him
on the committee
The meeting then adjourned.

change the method of voling on the

with a mass of other and minor mat-
ters in a general platform of poiicies.
In order to present these great ques-

ty Introduced as oue of its principles

Ou this point the Socialist and the

legislation being the fundamental
principle of the Socialist party. Now
#upposing the Prohibition party was
in power and In any state or in the
whole country passed a law prohibit-
igg the sale of liquors, would it be
effective? The Soclalists claim that
It would not, offering as proof that it

years in several states and found to
be a failure as a prohibitive measure
They also claim as proof that It is
impossible to enforce the laws re-
stricting the sale of liquors on Sun-
day, and (0 minors, as everyone
knows these laws are continually
being violated. Why multiply dead-
letter laws?
