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. James
took the list and said he would look over

the rear of the Ferguson House. Mr,
Kane, said the borough could not afford
to . remove the refuse .and people who
placed it there should bo required to re
move It. Mr. Kane also said he had been
rnnii1 n r I informed that stone some men had broken
been taken by the Lakeside Electric Rail

should either pay the men who broke the
stone, or the borough, if it had paid for
the work- Mr. Kane also said people

Mr. Hand, of lhe survey committee,
said J. 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.

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

aud the'dumplug was creating a great

Benjamin, the four-year-old child of

up to a bedroom ou thetecond fluorof the
house and there discharged it. Fortu
nately the bullet spent clear of the child's
head and went out through a window pane.
The face of the child wa- slightly burnrd
by powder. This family has a record of
tragic events. Two nnd a half yearfc ago

seven years ago another sou, John, aged
