AN INTERESTING
6QUNGIL MEETING.
HOURS SPENT IN DISCUSSING
STREET WORK.
MR, BETTERIDGE ON THE RACK
Oounoilman Ooakloy Makes i
a Stand for tho First Ward.
Ho is Disgusted With tho
Doings of Oouncil.
p HE Borough, Council
reminea in session
neii'ly lour hours lal
night discussing
stroU, culverts, gut'
ters, pavetnonts and
like work that is un
der the jurisdiction ol
the strfot committee
and poor Betteridgo,
chairman of tho committee, and the stone
cruihor received volleys of hot shot from
all sides. Even Oounoilman Stout was
obliged to criticize his colleague.
It all happened this way. Botteridge
made a lengthy report of work done by
the stroet comraitteo since tho last meeting
of Oouncil and aftor ho took his seat
Councilman Devers aroso and asked,
"Who was it gave the instructions to have
all this stono put on tho streets and 'then
had it hauled off again ? I would likoto
havo a report on that,"
Betteridge answered, "When tho street
commitloe gives the supervisor instructions
to fix a square I don't know whether it is
the committee's placo to stand thore and
see how much stono is placed there."
Devers "Don't you think it is wrong?
Tou folks havo tho doing of tho work on
tho street and you ought to know what
amount of stone should bo thoro."
Scheifly "It is town talk that the street
iommittte mcmbors havo not been consult'
ing with each other; that tho chairman has
been taking all the responsibility upon
himself, and tho balance of tho committee
denies any knowlcdgo of what he docs."
James "That is an old dodgo."
Betteridge was heated by bcheltly's re.
marks and jumping to his foet ho exclaim
ed, "I frankly tell the man that says it be
is a liar. I ask Stoul, Gahlo and Van
Dusen whether I havo not consulted them,
They aro here to speak for themselves and
I ask them to stand up,"
McGuire "Did the street committee
order that stone to go on ?"
Betteridge "Yes."
Ooakley ' Did you notify those gentle'
men where you woro going to dump all
this crushed stono 1"
Betteridge "What gentlemen?"
Ouakley "Tho balance of tho com'
mittee?"
Betteridge procoeded to talk about th
stone crusher and Ooakley interrupted him
with the question, "Did you notify these
gentlemen whoro you wore dumping that
stone ? I understand you don't toll them
anything. I would like to hear something
on that and then we will find out who lies.'
Betteridge could not fix his mind upon
an answer to Coakley's question and MC'
Guiro took tho floor and said, "Air. Stout
ought to stand up hero. It is not proper
that this should bo placed on tho Super
visor's shouldors."
Stout "I spoko about stoning that stroet !
and told Mr. Betteridge that he had hotter
let that (East Centre) street be, beoauso he
knew pipes were to go there within a very
short timo. lie notified the men to stop
and after I i.ekod the men if Mr. Bet
toridgo had been tbore and they said 'yes'
and the next day I saw the men working
there again and ttioy said Betteridge had
told them to go ahead again and if the
pipes woro to go In they oould lay tho
stone on one sido and the dirt on the
other.
Bettiridge "Did you not say that tho
crusher was breaking tho stono too big ?"
Stout "I came to your place and spoko
to you about it and they had stoned but
very little then."
Bettoridgo "Did you not say the stono
was too large and wo had better wait until
we could get finer material?"
Stout "I don't think I did."
Lamb made a statement tending to con
firm Stout's vorsion of tho matter and
then Stout arose and said, "I said tho way
he (Betteridge) was going on I wouldn't bo
on tbo stroot com mil too with him."
Ooakley "Something is wrong. Dur
ing tho last six months we havo not had a
report from that committee, only small
reports from Mr. Gablo. I, for one, am
just about tired of the way things aro going
this year. I wish I hod taken another
stand hero fivo months ago. Tbo First
ward has not got anything, whllo two
crossings oot the borough six or sevon
hundred dollars. I don't think thoro is
any justice about that."
Betteridge "I will bet him ten dollars
that 8800 has been spent this year in that
ward, on culverts and tbo streets."
OJttkloy "$300? That is a long way
lrom ?X00 spent on threo squares in Ibis
(the Third) ward. I don't think you have
treated us peoplo right and I am sorry for
on thing I am sorry I didn't kick fivo
months neo."
Gable ''I understood that tbereason tho
work on East Centro street was stopped
was becauso thoro was no email stone, and
if that was tho only reason why it should
be stopped it was foolish, I went up to
tho crusher nr.d saw plenty of small stone
there.
Jamos-"Theroisno question but that
a misiaKo was tnaao in stoning fnat street
whon they know the pipo lino was to go
Then several members mentioned con
siderable street work required. Doveis
said ho had heard nothing about the oom
plulnt from Chestnut and Gilbert streets,
which he made at tho last meeting. Ooak
loy said he recommended improvements at
Lloyd and Emorick streets twico.
tlolman then went back to the stroet
stoning and said, "Tho stono has been put
on the streets and taken off again and what
is the cendition of the streets now ? They
aro in a fearful condition and tho people
are complaining on all sides. The streets
were never in such bad condition as now."
Lamb said tho steam heating company
promised to put tho streets in a good con
dition within a fow days.
Ooakley then called attention to a culvert
on East Centre street and stated that it
should he enlarged, and then S. G. M
Hollopeter, Esq., was allowed to make a
fow remarks on another mutter. II o said
that he and T. 11. Boddaii, Esq., had been
employed by Taliosin Phillips to present a
claim for damages against tbo borough for
allowing an improper drainage in front ol
the property in which ho resides. Mr
Phillips claims that tho nuisance caused
sickness in his family that caused the
death of ono of his children.
The matter was relorred to tho Sanitary
and Law Committoe with instruction to
consult with Mr. Phillips' attorney.
Then Council went back to street work
and a series of motions followed. Mc
Guire moved that tbo First ward culvert
complained of be enlarged; Devers moved
that the complaint from Chestnut and Gil
bert streets be attended to; Lamb moved
that Laurel street bo opened to the Lehigh
V alloy railroad and that ionces bo placed
at tbo ends of Jardin and West streets;
and Ooakloy moved that a gutter be put in
at the corner ot Lloyd and Emorick streets
and a crossing on Union street. All these
motions wore carried.
James "All tho motions made now the
whole tax duplicate won't pay,"
Holman "What is tho matter with th(
crusher?"
Stout "It's broke."
Devers "It strikes mo wo ought to in
crease tho streot committee."
James ""Why don't you increase it?"
Devers "l movo that wo add five mem
bersto it."
Lamb "I amend that it be a committco
of the whole."
Stout "1 movo you put me off."
Gallagbcr--"If the stone crusherisbroko
it should be made known."
VanDusen "Has not it boen published
in tho paper every night?"
Lamb "What is wrong with tho
crusbor?" ,
VanDuson "It's broke,"
The supervisor said some important lover
was broken.
Gable "You have a proper roport.
"When he says tho stone crusher is broko it
h broke. You need a new one."
Stout "Yes, that is all I can soe."
Gable "It is completely worn out. Tho
main-stay of the crusher is broko."
Lamb "It was a second hand crusher.'
Gable "So it was."
James The borough got it up in the
neok when they bought that crusher."
By the time Oouncil finished its considor
ation of street work tho h nd on tho official
rlook had crawled up to XI. The oilier
business transacted was of a routine charac
ter and space cannot be given to it in thit
issue. Tho scribe is cut short in making
his report. His penoil has boen thrown
aside. "It's broko."

But the last movement bids fair to reach
the goal of success.

that an early closing move ment had been

School Director "Bob" Davenport caused
an outburst of laughter at the meeting of
the School Board. Wednesday evening.
Director Beddall in discussing the location
of the Gather proporty for school purpose",
said it would not do to have tho little
children walk too far and "Bob" answored,
"ihe stock manufactured in that end of
tho town is pretty tough."
The appointment of John H. Keose, of
town, as a membor of the Miners' Ex
amining Board, was a wise action. Mr.
Keese is not only a careiul and experienced
minor, but is also a student ot mino work.
The lino was closely drawn by tho
majority members ot the School Board in
making aPDointmenls to fill the vacancies
j the corns of school teachers, but whai
ei,e could be expected ? The Dartv in tha
majority can hardly be blamed. They are
looking out for their friends. ThepartuS
who are to be blatn.d are those who
sacrificed everything in which they were
not directly interested to hold their posi
tions on the Borough Council and retain
their grip upon the larcical joint committee,
Theee are the peopie to whom the parties
disappointed by the election ot teachers
must oast their glances of reproach.

The work of locating and arresting tho

pleaded guilty and set up a claim to mercy
on the ground that they were drunk and

Others were required to pity fines and costs

violating the Act of Assembly which
