BATE OP MILLS FIXED !
A LIVELY DISCUSSION ON IT
BY COUNCIL.
A REDUCTION OF EIGHT MILLS
Tho Borough Will Have an In
crease of About Throo Thou
sand Dollars in its Rovonuo.
Bills Discussed.
OUNCILMEN Gable,
Coakley, Stout, Hol
man, Schelfly, Amour,
Betteridge, McQutre,
Lamb and Devers were
present at tho regular
., ... ,
meeting of the Borough
Council last night.
President James was
unable to be prosont on account of illnessaud
Mr. Gable occupied the chair.
Tho most of tho meeting was taken up by
the discussion of bills and the ratu of mills
that should be levied.
The lamp and police committee was in
structed to mako arrangements for tho
introduction of somo other method of
illumination than gas for the Council cham
bcr, as the gas bills arc running too high.
The firo apparatus committco was in
structed to make somo provision for ringing
the firo alarm bell with a ropo in caso tho
electrical system should get out of order.
The matter of levying the mills for 1892
was next considered. The assessment list
for tho last three years footed up $1,SG3,210
and under tho now tri-cnnlal assessment tho
list amounts to $2,037,913. Tho rate of mills
last year was ten.
Lamb suggested that the rate for this year
be fixed at 8 mills, which would give the
borough an additional revenue of a little less
than $3,000, but Stout, Ilolman and Bet'
teridge objected.
Schelfly moved that the rate be filed at
8 mills and Holmau amended to make it 7.
The amendment was defeated and there was
a tie vote on tho motion.
Considerable discussion followed, during
which Ilolman and Stout arguod that 7 mills
would be sufficient and that the people of
the town would condemn Council if a rate
that would increase tho revenue of the bor
ough $3,000 was fixed.
Lamb taid that Council needed consider
able money. Several notes will be falling
due, street paving may require about $10,
000, and considerable money had been and
would be spent on matters preliminary to the
introduction of public water works.
Bettcridge deserted the Ilolman-Stout side
of the question and when a motion was
again put to fix the rate at 8 mills it was
carriod, Hohnan, Stout and Devers asked to
be recordod as voting "no" on the question
and after tho meeting Mr. Stout told Mr.
Lamb that ho would find a big kick on the
part of tho poeple.
The borough treasurer presented his report
showing that there is no money in the
treasury.
The report of the Chief Burgess showed
that tho fines and license feos collected for
November amounted to $51 and Chief of
Pollco Davis' report Bhowed that 12 arrests
were mado during tho mouth. Seven of tho
parties arrested served timo and eight persons
wero furnished with lodgings.
Three sets of bills arising from services
rendered at the recent firo at tho Lamb
property in tho First ward wero presented.
The Chief Burgcis handed in a bill for three
special police who were appointed to keep
children and others away from the ruins, a
report having been circulated that there was
dynamite about the place. The pay asked
was $2 fur each man. Council awarded
them $1,50 each.
The report of the fire marshal sUted that
three members of each of the three fire
companies were appointed to watch the ruins.
The latter matter was referred because it
was not endorsed by tho Are apparatus com
mittee and Mr. McGuire asked who clgnsd
the bill for tho men the Burgess had at the
fire. He was Informed that the Burgess did.
Mr. McGuiro thou asked If that officer had
a right to contract bills and Gable and Lamb j
answered in chsrus that ho had, as the chief ,
officer elected by the people; and that he had I

A hill nf 1 90 fn, 1MI l.l
by tho Columbia Hoso Company raised a
question as to whether or not tho companies
should not look to their appropriations for
expenses in keeping their apparatus clean.
Mr. Uoluian said Council always paid such
bills and that at all cvonts Council should
pay such bills presented by tho Columbia
Company because most of tho material was
used in keeping clean tho engine owned by
tho borough. The bill was paid.
A hill was presented by the electric light
company for having orders It received from
Council discounted. The bill amounted to
something over five dollars, McQuire and
Devers thought that If tho electric light
company intended to cliargo the borough for
discouns Council should deduct the prioe of
lights for the number of hours the company
falls to keep them burning. The secretary
was ordered to return tho bill to the com-
pany.
Mr, Schelfly asked who would bo respon

Tho question was not answered, tho

it refused that the borough do the work.
Tho motion was carried.

DECEPTION WILL OUT.
rultlnjr the Wool Our the Iiyrn of
THKIlliyiTH.
Tho Unit a id wishes to submit as briefly as
possible n few facts showing lioW somo of tho
Coiincilincu of this town are pulling tho wool
over tbo eyes of the taxpayers and some of
the easy-going members of the Borough
Council.
Some time ago the Herald presented bills
to the Council for advertising the special
election of last June. Lamb and VanDusen,
tiro of tho members of the committee to
whom tho bills were referred, after several
weeks delay, reported, "in tho interest of
the taxpayers" (?) that the bills should b
cut down considerably,
of the committee, Mr.
Tho third membsr
Amour, refused t
concur in the report.
Lamb and VanDuscn's recommendation
was adopted by Council and they weia
ordered to make an offer of the amouut
recommended to the Herald. These in-
been been ofllciaily reported to Council and
recorded upn tho minntes, which is neglect
uumber two. Several members of Council
claim they do not know of the existence of a,
suit.
Lamb and VanDusen then started a new
game to vent their spite and instead of fol
lowing tho custom of having tho borough
ordinances published in tho local daily paper
thoy sent it to a Pottsvllle paper which they
have been using as au organ. The excuse
for sending this advertisement out of town
: was that the Herald was robbing the people.
Heretofore the out-of-town paper, when pre
senting its bills, has" bulked the amounts,
without designating the number of lines or
number of inches, iu the advertisement, the
number of times it was inserted, or the rate
per line or per inch charged, Tho present
ment of such bills was evidently done to
! keep the people under tho impression that
Council was crettlni Its advflrtislm- dmiH
'lAchcapcr out of town than the home paper
would do it, but last night a bill slipped
in that shows the berough is paying
for its out-of-town advertising at the same
rate charged by the Herald and the same
rate fixed in the hills npon which suit has
been brought ten cents a lino for tho first
insertion and five cents a lino for every
insertion thereafter.
The bill presented by the Pottsville paper
last night and ordered paid was for adver
tising erdinance, 62 lines, 10 times, $15.10.
This means :
