over the matter with the remark that
no attention should be paid to the

gress Aloft City Charter Next.
Tho mooting of tho Borough Council
held last evening was ono of vast impor
tance to tho taxpayers of tho borough and
ono that showed a commondablo spirit of
enterprise on tho part of tho councilmen.
All tho members woro present, thoy
being Messrs. Gable, Scheifly, Lamb,
Wurm, Jamos, VanDusen, Hopkins,
Coakloy, Botloridgo, llolman, Dovors,
Amour, Phalon, Porlz and Moakler.
As a rosult of tho business transacted the
work of establishing borough walor works
is to progress, tho town is to have tho
latest improved flro alarm system, and ad
ditional electric lights will be furnished as
soon as a contract can be mado, which,
however, cannot bo done before next
spring.
At the oponing of Council M. M. Burko,
representing M. M. L'Vello, Esq., of Ash
land', mado a demand for tho restoration of
tbo grado to Edward Burke's property on
West Centre street, or $200 damages. Tbo
mattor was referred to the law committeo.
The roads and highways committee re
ported that gutters had boon opened and
put in suitable condition for winter, and
Mr. Betteridgo called" altontion to tho flow
of water down Gilbert street and accumu
lation of Ico at Contro street.
Tho flro apparatus committeo reported
that the flro plugs bad been put in condi
tion for winter and two now branch pipes
purchased, ono for tho Columbia and the
other for tho Phoenix company.
FIRE ALARM STSTEM.
The flro apparatus committeo also made
a roport on tho proportion to furnish tho
borough with an electric fire alarm system,
The members reported in favor of tho
adoption of the Oamowoll non-intorfor-
ing system, with nlno boxos to bo placed at
tho following points: Corner of Bridge
and Contro streets; Bower and Contro;
Main and Contro; Bowers and Coal; Coal
and Main ) Coal and Chestnut; Gilbert and
Contro; Poplar and Main; Gilbert and
Cherry.
Mr. Charles Wann, representing tho
Gamowoll company, was prosont and ox
plained the system, The cost will bo
2.710. Council decided to make a contract
for It. The system is to be put in working
ordor by next April.
THE ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
, The lamp and watch committeo reported
that after an interview tbe electrio light
company promised to keep tho borough
lights burning from daylight to daylight.
In regrd to placing lights for the Turkey
ltun people, the company was not prepared
to do tho work at present. Its contract
with the borough will oxpiro next spring
and tho company will then contract to
furnish tho lights, supplying an Independ
ent curront for thorn, so that any mishap to
them will not interfero with tho regular
system.
The committee ecommended that when
Iho new contract is mado a light for
Glover's hill be also provided for.
A motion that tho report bo accepted
and tho recommendation adopted, was
carried,
THE WATER WORKS.
Mr. Lamb, In behalf of tho joint coni
mlttoo of council and citizens, appointed to
make arrangements for the establishment
of borough water works, roportod that tho
work of tho committeo had so far pro
grossed that the members felt justified In
making publio what had boon dono. Mr.
Lamb said that after considerable Investi
gation tho committoo had a pretty good
Idea of the situation. Previous to the pub
lic meeting held In llobbins' opera house,
possession was taken of two streams in tho
Catawissa Valloy Battling Hun and
Davis' streams and it is proposed to orect
dams and a pumping station where tho two
stroaras moot. "Thero Is plenty of water
there and thero is no better in tho world,"
said Mr. Lamb. "We have been making
considerable investigation as to tho cost,"
continued Mr, Lamb, "but we aro not able
at present to give an estimate. Wo have
taken steps towards Issuing bonds and wo
will in a day or so ask for bids for con
structing tho dams and laying pipes. Wo
ask the councilmen and citizens to inves
tigate the matter themselves. It has boon
no wish of ours to keep tho mattor to our
selves as long as we have."
Mr. Wurm wanted it understood that bo

got no boodle as a mombor of tho com
mltteo. This statement ho mado in answer
to reports ho said woro going about.
After the report was accepted and th
committoo continuod, a discussion aroso be
tween Mr. Devers and Mr. Lamb, during
which the formor charged Mr. Lamb with
receiving as a member of tho law com
mitteo on the trial of the wator company
case at Pottsvillo.
Mr. Lamb indignantly died tho insinua
tions of impropriety that accompaniod tho
chargo and said that he and other mombers
of tho law committoo attondod to tho law
suit undor direction of council, llo col
lected evidence and performed othor work,
aside from that of a witness, and he charged
for but four days at Pottsvillo.
"You put in a bill forovorf 13," said Mr.
Dovers.
"Ice," continuod Mr. Lamb, "Thirtoon
dollars and so mo cents. I got $3 a day for
four days. Why, gontlomen, said Mr,
Lamb, addressing tho council In general,
"I came back from Pottsvillo ?5 or fG out
of pocket, over and abovo what you al
lowed me. I spont raonoy for telegrams.
ana oven witness tees, out, ot my own
pocket."
"Let tho gentleman tako the books of
Council," put in Mr. James. "If ho is a
gentloman he will prove what ha says, or
withdraw tho charge."
Mr. Wurm then took a hand in tho mat
tdr and in a few seconds ho and Mr. Dovors
were engagod in such a warm dobato that
Chairman Gablo was obliged to ropeatodly
bring down his Jgavel. But when Mr.
Wurm said he would throw Mr. Dovers
out of tho door tho chairman brought
down tho gavel with extra forco and ex
claimed, J,Uero, horo, gontlomen, I will
have no more of this. Stop it right now,
and it stopped.
Tho fire apparatus committeo was given
power to act in reference to a recommenda
tion to send tho borough fire engine to
Watorford, N. Y., for repairs.
Mr. James said that one of tbo electric
railway polos had mado a pavement on
West Coal street too narrow and tbo street
committoo was instructed to attend to tbo
matter.
On motion of Mr. Jamcs.council directed
that an additional sum of fSCO bo ad
vanced to tbo joint committoo on water
works.
The police roport for tho month of
November was light. It showed but four
arrosts. Tho fines collected amounted to
