THE BOROUGH
C0UNCILMEN.
Water Works Discussed at the
Session Last Night.
ARE NEARING COMPLETION
The Pumping station and Steel Pipe
Line Connecting the Reservoir to
be Tested Next Week.
A regular meeting of tho Borough Coun
cil was held last evening and several hours
were spent In the discussion of matters
pertaining to the public water works.
The members present were Messrs, Hand,
Stout, Meluskey, Dougherty, McGuIre,
Kane, Kerns, Gable, James, McElhenny,
Lamb and Gallagher.
Thomas Coavllle asked that a grade be
given for a property at tho north end of
Chestnut street, but a question was raised
ns to whether the property is within the
borough limits and the matter was re
ferred to committee.
J. J. Franey asked that Council con
demn a part of the east end of Oak street
that Is of no use to tho borough. It is a
piece of land taking In about twenty feet
of Oak street between the southern end
of the property recently leased by Mr.
Franey and the electric railway brldgo.
On motion Council decided to condemn
the land nnd allow Mr. Franey to use it
In connection with his leasehold on con
dition that should It bo necessary to open
the street at any time the buildings that
may be put on It shall bo removed.
The lamp and watch committee reported
the arrival of the new police uniforms.
Firo Marshal J. S. Williams presented
a lengthy report showing tho number of
alarms responded to during the month of
November, the causes of tho fires, etc.,
and recommended that more hose and
a idltionil fire alarm boxes bo procured.
The construction committee reported
having advertised for proposals for the
cementing of the floor in tho basement ot
the borough building and the committee
was instructed to make repairs in tho
lockup.
Mr. Gallagher, chairman of the water
oommtttee, reported the completion of
the reservoir at Fowler's Itnn aud the
completion of the Bteel pipe line, so far as
the laying of it is concerned. Some ot
the pipe is to be boxed to shelter It from
the weather and that will be attended to
at once. It will not be possible to get the
pumping station ready for a tost before
next Monday or Tuesday, and perhaps
not then. Coal Is being hauled to the
station.
There was quite a discussion over a
difficulty with Contractor Clearyover the
laying of tho steel pipe. It appears that
Mr. Galvln, the representative of tho
manufacturers who was superintending
the work threatened to abandon the work
because the contractor did not have a suf
ficient number of men employed and the
pipe was not being covered In accordance
with the instructions of the company.
Mr. Lamb took a baud in the discussion
and stated that he took an additional
number of men to the place and had them
complete the work to Mr. Galvln's satis
faction. He said Mr. Cleary had put 2
feet of earth on top of the pipe, but had
not covered the sides to that depth. Mr.
Lamb built walls at the sides and then
put In tho earth.
Mr. Cleary maintained that he could
not be held responsible when the pipe was
blocked up. Council endorsed the action
ot the committee and Mr. Lamb In the
matter.
A. W. Schalck, Esq., of Pottsvllle, pre
sented a lengthy agreement providing
for the payment of $20) a year by the
borough to the Glrard Estate for the lease
ot the laud required for the pipe line
from the pumping station to Fowler's
Hun reservoir, either party to have the
privilege of revoklug the agreement at
the end of five years.
Councilman Lamb opposed the adoption
of the resolution In a very effective ad
dress. He claimed that tho Glrard Estate
was already getting enough money out of
this region without making the people
p ly so much for the privilege ot bringing
water to the town.
The result was that Council voted down
a motion to adopt and will go Into court
and have viewers appointed to appraise
the value of tho strip of land.
The borough solicitors were instructed
to prepare a bond to be furnished tho Coxe
esUte for a strip of land covered by the
pipe line.
A balance ot f 1,000 due Contractor Mo-
Adam for thf ooncreto work at the Fow-
I1 ler's Hun reservoir was ordered to be paid.
Mr. MoAdara stated that the shanties
and old lumber at the reservoir had been
sold to A. I). Lamb for $50.
McElhenny's free lunch to-morrow night
will be the greatest ot the season.

postponed until to-morrow afternoon, nt
two o'clock. It was to havo taken place
at ten o'clock this morning, but the non

ment necessary.
