last night until nearly
twolvo o'clock dispos
ing of business which had accumulated since
tho previous meeting. In tho quartors out
s'ulo tho railing in tho chamber eat President
Spalding, Secretary Scanlan, Messrs. Miles,
and McIIalo and Oillcer Miles, representatives
of tho Board of Health, and for a while there
was a joint mooting of both bodios.
II. W. Titman, who had a lively debato nt
the School Board meeting on Wednesday
evening over stoam heating, had a sharp dis
cussion at the meeting last night over n
sewerage proposition. Mr. Titman asked for
a right of way to run a Bowerago pipo from
tho now factory of tho Shenandoah. Manu
facturing Company, along Coal to Bowers
streot, and down tho latter street to tho
electric light statiou, whero an underground
creek flows.
Mr. Coaklcy said thero is a Bowerago lino
within easy dlstanco of tho factory and ho
understood tho company had been offered tho
privilege of connection on reasonable terms;
and Mr. Kane wanted to know tho company's
object in having an independent sower.
Mr. Titman answered that tho distance to
connect with the Emerick street Bower would
bo as far as his company proposed running
tho now sewer, and tho people owning tho
former waut $300 for tho privilege of a con
nection. In answer to a question as to tho
number of tenements that would bo connected
with tho factory lino Mr. Titman said ho did
not know that thero would bo any, but that
tho drain would bo put in and if anybody
olse wished to connect they could do so upon
paying theirpro rata share.
Mr. Coakloy said that ho did not favor tho
underground creek as tho outlet forthosowor,
and whon asked by Mr. Titman if ho had an
interest in tho Emerick street Bower ho
replied that ho had not.
Mr. Titman then warmly charged imposi
tion, and said that whilo tho Emerick street
lino only cost $100 tho owners had demanded
for the prlvllcgo of connection $100 from J,
M. Eobbins, $100 from the School Board for
tho Union street building, and $300 from tho
Shenandoah Manufacturing Company. Ho
also stated that tho factory lino could bo run
to the dirt bank at tho borough limits for less
money than tho Emerick street parties want
for tho privilege of connection. Ho also
stated that his people were not given a
cbaoco to go in on pro rata share
Council eventually decided to let the matter
lay over until the receipt of more definite
information.
Mr. Titman then asked that a right of
way bo granted to tho Shenandoah Heat and
Power Company to extend its pipes from
White street to tho All Sainte' church, and
the request was granted.
Dr. Spalding then addressed the Council
briefly setting forth what the Board of
Health had done and proposed doing, and
concluding with an application for an appro
priation of $500. The request was endorsed
by Borough Solicitor Porueroy.
T. J. Miles thon spoko and Btatod that, tho
encouragement tho Board of Health had
thus far received from committees of Council
was not what it should bo. He said tho
board could not hope for suocess if tho
proper officials of the borough do not oo
operate with it.
Mr. Miles was informed that whon the
board should And Itself in noed of assistance
It could call upon the Chief Burgess and
High Constable.
Tho Chief Burgess was instructed to pro
ceed at once to have a pavement laid along
the Shaefler ostato, at the west end of Coal
street.
Mr. Gable, of tho roads and highways
committee, reported that 220 feet of sow
crago pipe had beon placed at Poplar and
Main street, 00 feet on Pear alley, and 18
feet of 18-inch pipe at the Hartuett property.
A statement showing the payments and
balances on the Main street paving contract
was presented and read, after which tho sec
retary was instructed to notify Contractor
Grant to appear at tho next meeting with a
complete statement.
A flue of a house at the corner of Cherry
and Gilbert streets was reported in bad con
dition. Mr. Gallagher said ho had inspected the
basement of tho borough buildlug and eould

The Chief Burgess was instructed to see
that another part of tho pavement above
roferrod to is repaired at onco.
T. F. Uradlgan, P. J. Clcary and William
P. Delanoy requested permission to lay a
sewer pipe from Poplar to Coal street, on
Jardln street j from Poplar to Coal on West
street; and from Cherry to Coal on I'enr
alloy ; all tho lines to bo connected with tho
West Contro street sower lino. Tho roquost
was granted on condition that tho parties
immediately cloar tho latter streot of tho
dirt left after laying tho pipo.
Mr. Bettoridgo started a dlsonsslon about
tho removal of tho sills and rails from
Centre street. Borough Solicitor Pomoroy
said that tho olectrio railway company would
bo responsible for any damages sustained
directly from tho placing of tho rails and
sills on tho street. Tho subject was droppod
without any doflnlto action.
Tho secretary was instructed to request
Engineer Woniclsdorf, of Pottsville, and ox-
Sonator Torbot to attend tho meeting of
Council next Tuesday ovenlug, whon matters
relating to tho wator works rtill bo con
sidered.
It was decided that $500.00 bo taken
from tho appropriation for incidental ox
penses and credited to the Board of Health.
Mr. Gable thought tho long dlstanco tele
phone po'os should bo run through tho alloys.
The matter was left iu tho hands of tho
Btrcet committco.
Borough Treasurer Bradlgan submitted a
report showing that wator bonds to tho
amount of $23,100 had been sold and n
balanco In the treasury of $23,G72.C0.
Then aroso a question as to whether the
bond of tho treasurer should bo increased on
account of tho fuuds from tho salo of bonds
being in Ills bauds. Tho usual bond is
$10,000.
Mn Finney thought a bond of $T0,000
should bs given. Mr. Stout thought tho
flguro pretty high and that tho Treasurer
should bo increased in proportion.
Mr. Botteridgo moved that tho bond bo
fixed at $20,000 and Mr. Gablo thought it
should bo $25,000. Mr. Bottcridgo's motion
was deflated.
Mr. Finney thon moved that $50,000 bo
fixed as tho amount, but a motion by Mr.
McGulro fixing it at $30,000 was carried by a
voto of 5 to 4.)
