James replied that it would be better to alter the ex- onerations than to leave the fire apparatus 1 In a dangerous condition. He said he (knew that the fire companies hadn't fctuu lent nose Tor a ure onsoum west street. He thought the delinquent tax payers should be made to work on the streetB and that the money thus saved could be devoted to the Are apparatus. T. J. James wanted to know if all de linquents were going to work on the streets, how the Council would get cash to run the borough. It will tnko from 0,000 to $35,000 to run the water plant thU year and the money from the delin quents is counted upon to help run the borough. He said he was anxious to keep the fire department in excellent condition, but the borough must have the money with which to do it. Mr. James added that, taking the Third ward for example, there are over 500 voters in tho ward, yet there are 700 names on the exoneration list and D. R. James could not find five names in the list that he knew. The latter said he could, and 25, too. T. J. James said that was the kind of a man the finance committee wanted and he handed the list to the other. D. J.

Franey wanted a grade for Plum alley and the Columbia Brewing1 Company wanted one for Pear alley. Borough Surveyor Gregory also spoke and said be gav Mr. Franey a common sense grade for Plum alley and It seemed to be satisfactory to the committee and prop erty holders. The brewing company wanted a continuous grade, for Par alley from Oak tq Cherry streets and he didn't wish to give it until he could consult Council. Such a grade would make it necessary to cut down the middle of the alley at much as three feet. The brew Ing company wanted to pave half the alley If the borough would pave the rest, Mr. Boehm said that If Mr. Franey would take off the dirt he put on Plum alley the grade would be In pretty good shape. It was intimated that the dirt had been put on the alley to make the roadway more convenient for the build Ings Mr. Franey is erecting and that the grade was sought to keep the alley In conformity with his views us bearing upon the interests of his own property, Mr. Gregory said that Council has adopted no crude on alleys.

Mr. Gable, of the Ore apparatus com mlttee, repotted that the fire alarm system had been out of order for a week but. that the electrician Intended having 4'. In operation again by Friday night. Fire plugs at the corner ot Oak and White streets and at the corner of Gilbert and Ceutre streets were repaired. lie eald something ought to be done towards pro curing new hose for the fire companies and repairing the hook and ladder truck. D. R. James moved that the recom mendations ot the committee made at the last meeting, providing for the pur chase of hose and repairs to the truck, be carried out. T. J. James said to do that , it would be necessary for Council to alter , The Republican also offered for 140 to publish the ordinance, print posters, .and circulate a copy of the paper in every house in Shenandoah, estimated at &,000 copies ot the paper. Sdlcltor Pomeroy stated that white Council would be strictly complying with the laW In having the ordinance published in one of the county1 papers' still it would be better to have It pub lished in one of the town papers. T. J, James said that bids were asked because the home people take advantage and If Council should give the publication to one ox tne niguest uiunerB me oiuers would not bid again. Mr. Gable maved that the contract be awarded to the lowest bidder. D. R, James said the ordinance ought to be .ubllshed In a town paper, aud so spok Mr. Straughn. Mr. Meluskey said ho was of the same opinion and only asked for bids from others because he was In structed to do so by Council, The motion was eventually carried, Mr. Straughn, of the law isommlttee stated that the claim ot Mrs. Lambert for 250 for damages sustained by fullleg upon a Lloyd street pavement, had been Investigated and that the lowest amount Mr. Lambert would accept was ? 200. The committee had requested an itemized statement, but had not yet received It. The case was referred to the Borough Solicitor with the evidence taken. He also stated that the Jones cose has not been considered yet. The committee feels that something should be done in refer euce to the claims tor damages against the borough, Either suits should be In stituted against the property ownerB, or the Chief Burgess should be compelled to enforce the ordinances, especially as to the condition of pavements. The Chief Burgees appears to be too good hearted. Claims for damages estimated between $500 and $1,000 are hanging lire. Mr. Boehm, for the sanitary committee, stated that affairs werpi as Btated at.the last meeting aud he dldn$ think any thing had been done with regard to the nuisances reported. Mr. Gable complained that Henry L. Jones wub dumping refuse pn a lot at the west end of Oak Btreet under per mission granted by the Iltnlth Officer aud the'dumplug was creating a great nuhance.
