EVENING HERALD WKONKSUAY, MAY 18, IStt. THIRD EDITION NOT A MODEL COUNCIL. Shenandoah's Qiusr Lot of Council- manic Financiers. From Miners' Journal. Shenandoah U the lnrgest borough In matter ot population lu Schuylkill county, and It 1h oueot the greatest coal centres and producing points in the an thracite coal fields. It is alio a town nf great Importance otherwise, and hns many Institutions of business, such as aro not possessed by any other town lu the county, not excepting Pottsvlllr, notably two hat factories and quite a number of minor manufacturing estab lishment", retail stores gHlore, and a liouuoea ilQ.ior pluce tor every 130 persons within its corpoi afe limits. Ichasals3 a Borough Couucil consl't ing of llfteen citizens, and among them are a few very correct and prosperous business men, who are shrewd and carc lul in transacting their own private affairs, and some of them have built up lucrative establishments. Individually most of the gentlemen composing the Council are cool, calculating, careful and concise In their business dealings, but col lectively, as a legislative body, they are not earning a good name for themselves as a Borough Council. In fact, If the statements of the local press and correspondents ate true, the Council of that progressive borough Is doing some queer flunuciering. The Heii ALD, of Fridaj last, published the follow ing: iThe Borough Treasurer mnkes his de posits in the .Merchants' National Bauk, of town, and the borough docs not receive one cent of interest, and this week, when the borough had about $17,000 ou deposit in the bank, a note for $7,080 was given to the Jennesvllle Iron Works and the bor ough was obliged to pay over SlSi as dis count. In ofner words the uorougn pays $125 bonus for the use of its money. This Is certainly queer financiering. The same paper supplemented the above with the following furnished by the ",Mahanoy City Record's Shenandoah cor respondent : "What a costly adjournment that was of our Council last week. At the adjourned meeting held Tuesday evening, the treus urer's report of April was read, and it shows that there is a balance of $17,005. 58 in the treasury. Then T. J. James wanted to know why, with that amount in the treasury, a note had been given the -Jennesvillc Iron Works Company for 00 days, to the amount of some $S,000, and the borough obliged to piy some $100 or aio re as interest on It. Had the meeting ijeen finished last Thursday evening the areport would have beeu read, and the Water Committee would have known what was in the treasury and could then have paid the bill and saved the interest There are certainly some bright com mlttoes In Council. Commenting on this the Heuald OX' presses the opinion that "Council's way of economizing Is a model one saving at the spigot and leaking at the bung hole.' The present Couucil Is composed of the following : First ward, William McGulre (presl dent), Andrew Meluskey, James Kane, Second, James McElhenny, F. E 3Iagargle, John F. Boehm. Third, Thomas J. James,- Charles Straughn, David 11. James. Fourth, Augustus Gable, Patrick Kearn, Patrick Gaffigan. Fifth, Patrick Hand, Michael Dough erty, Illchard Reese. "Economy Is wealth" is not one ot the mottoes of this extraordinary and queer lot of financiers. When it comes to pay ing claims against the borough, Council does not take into consideration that much could be Baved in the way of costs by instructing Its Law Committee to settle. The members evidently like to come to Pottsvllle, and attend court, and in many cases, which could besettled and money saved, they foece the claimants to sue. The borough now has a dozen or mote lawsuits on hand. There is the At. A. Boyer claim, which was decided on its merits by a jury against the borough, and the borough has carried the caee to the Supreme Court, where it will most likely be affirmed. Then the whole amount to be paid by the borough will be twice as much as the original claim which was less than $100 when the suit was brought. Another case is that of M. E. Doyle for services performed. Long ago the bor ough authorities could have settled this claim and saved money. Another Is the case ot Mrs. Lambert, a suit for damages sustained by the claimant in spraining her ankle on one of the borough's bunion pavements. Still another is the suits they have forced A. J. Womelsdorf, the engi neer, to bring, and so on to an almost In definite number. Council asks advice of its Borough Solicitor and does not follow it. And no one has yet talked of asking the recalcitrant members of this Council to resign and no talk of Impeaching them is heard. For every quarter in a man's pocket the-o are a dozen UBes ; and to use each one in such a way as to derive the great, est benefit is a question every one must noire for himself. We believe, however, that no better use could be made of one of these quarters than to exchange it for a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, a medicine that every lamiiy snoum ue provided with For sale by Grnhler Bros., Druggists.
