A. Special Water Meeting Held Last
Evening.
WANTS ANOTHER PIPE TEST
At Its Noxt Meeting Council will De
cides Whether Connections Will bo
Mndo to Properties at the
Borough's Expense
A special meeting of the Borough Coun
cil was held last evening to consider mat
ters hearing upon the public wator works.
The meeting was called for 7:30 o'clock,
but It was 8:30 before a quorum of mem
bers assembled. The Councllmen In at
tendance were Messrs. Kane, Kerns, Reese,
Straughu, Boehin, Gable, Dougherty,
Haud, Meluskey, T. J. James and Mc
Guire. President McQulre stated that a com
mittee of Council and a representative of
the contractors had witnessed what the
latter called a final test sf 'he public water
works plpos. A guage was used at different
points In tho town and- the pressure was
shown as follows : On East Centre street,
102 pounds; at Apple alley and Emerlck
street, 133; "West Coal street, 1C7; West
West Centre street, 100. This, the presi
dent stated, was the only tost the contrac
tors proposed making and Council should
say whether It would accept the test. Mr.
McGulre also stated that repairs should bo
made at once to tho reservoir at Fowler's
Kun, so as to havo tho works In operatl.Sn
at an early day. Ho also stated that a ca t
Iron llange on tho pipe line between the
two reservoirs was broken.
Superintendent Betteridge stated that
there is only about half an inch of cement
at the bottom of tho Fowler's Run reser
voir and underneath nothing but a sand
bottom. It can be scraped up with the
fingernail. There are some cracks In the
bottom of the reservoir, Ho thought tho
first step for Council would be to ascertain
the extent of the cracks. They could be
made good with a filling of two parts of
cement to one of sand. Mr. Betterldge
also stated that the cement panels on the
sides of tho reservoir can be picked up in
blocks the size of ,a chair seat and under
neath these Is nothing hut a hard, sandy
substanco. It has no more than ten per
cent, of cement. Mr. Betterldge believes
the reservoir would be just as well without
a cement bottom.
On motion of T. J. James, tho superin
tendent was Instructed to havo tho dam
repaired immediately and put It In condi
tion to hold water.
Mr. Betteridge said the reservoir at
Brandonvllle was full of water. ' The
water Is flowing over tho breastwork.
Thp president urged tho water committee
to fix the water rates, so that connections
may bo invited.
A discussion as to who should pay for
the connections arose. Mr. Gable said he
was in favor of tho borough making the
connections, hut the projerty owners
should dig the trenches.
Superintendent Bottendgo said that a
number of property owners had told him
that If tho borough will make the connec
tions and tap the water they will pay 50
cents per month for the first year, In addi
tion to the mill rate.
The president asked the solicitor whether
it would be legal for Council to expend
money to make the connections, and
whether the borough could borrow money
for the purpose.
Solicitor Pomeroy replied that tho bor
ough could not borrow money without a
special election, but any money it had In
the treasury can be applied to tho purpose.
He had no doubt that Council could antici
pate Its revenue for this year for any pur.
pose and borrow on It. In other words, tho
borough could borrow money for the cur
rent year If It could pay It back during the
year.
President McGulre said the water com
mittee should take the matter under con
sideration and be prepared to report at tho
next regular meeting and seo if some means
cau be devised by which tho connections
can be made. He thought that if the bor
ough would not make the connections It
would lose more than they are worth.
A discussion of tho test was takeu up.
Mr. T. J. James said the contract provided
that tho water pipes were to staud a pres
sure of 300 pounds to the square Inch, while
the highest pressure shown by the test was
but 100 pounds. Tho question In his mind
was as to the means to give tho pipes the
required pressure.
Superintendent Betteridge said tho
contractors claimed thby had asked Coun
oil to send a representative to witness tho
testing of the pipes at tho foundry and It
had failed to do so; that the pipes were
testod there and had stood a pressure of
300 pounds to the squaro inch.
Mr. Kane said that was not tho test
Council was to be guided by; that the $0,000
withheld was to await the testing of the
pipes after belug placed in the ground.
On motlou of Mr. Gablo, the chairman of
the water committee, was Instructed to
notify Mr. Qulnn that the test made was
not satisfactory to Couuoil, for the reason
that he had guarnuteed that the pipes
would stand a prosstuo of 300 pounds to
the square Inch.
THOUGHTS OF THE MOMENT.
PnrnKMphs on Odds find Ends From
tho Fen nnd l'onoll.
It Is gratifying nnd consoling, oven whon
misfortune falls heaviest upon one's
shoulders, to find that ho at least has tho
sympathy of some of his fellowmen. And
to find at the same time that thero aro somo
nt hand whoso hearts aro not capablo
ot emitting sympathy Is a most acceptable
lesson In human nature. The Heuald
has found both since tho recent fire. Tho
latter have been few, but as bad money,
they havo turned up In prominent places.
Most of them havo demonstrated beyond
all doubt that they are ignorant, selfish and
vindictive and should tho Heuald have
occasion to deal with any of them In tho
futuro it will not bo taxed for a method by
which to judgo them. Ono of thoso Is
a business man. Ho found consolation In
the exulting expression, "Tho Heuald
fought the new water works, but will not
fight them any moro. It has gone up In
smoke " This Individual was no doubt
very much chagrined, If not amazed,
when he saw the Heuald circulated at tho
usual hour Saturday evening. It isalways
well to remember that chlckons Invariably
como home to roost, and It would not bo
surprising to us if somo day wo should bo
In charge of tho roost when tho chicken we
refer comes home. Tho public will nodoubt
agree with us when we say that lu such an
event we will bo duty bound to lntroduco
this cock-a-doodle-do and the rest of his
breed to tho ax, and we will havo it nicely
sharponed, too. Libertines and violators of
family trusts may run unrestricted for
years, but there is an end to all things and
we aro satisfied to wait until the parties
we refer to reach tho oud of their rope.
When the time comes wo will not be found
Incapable of extending sympathy, but at
the same time we will not shirk our duty
as a uewspapor.
"As when a pnlutqf, poring on n face,
Divinely, through all hindrance, llnds the man
Behind It, ami fo paints him that the face,
Tho shape anil color of a mind and life,
Lives for his children, even at its best
And fullest."
Shenandoah and vicinity has receivod Its
share of ndversity and It is now lu order
for something good to como along. With
a lire that sveptoue of tho principal
squares of tho town out of existence and a
cyclone at Wm. 1'eun that blow down two
houses and uprooted trees, It Is tlmo to ask
"What havo wo done?"
Tho work performed by the firemen on
Saturday morning should never be for
gotten by tho citizens of the town and
those who aro boasting of what was ac
complished through the new wator works
should not, In their enthusiasm, forget the
men who handled the wator when they ask
for facilities to perform tho service. It
takes an occasional big fire to impress upon
the minds of Borne people the real vnluo of
a good fire department.
The results of the last fire resombled in
many respects those of tho conflagration of
November, 18S3, but fortunately not to tho
extent that a socond relief committee was
required.
Its an ill wind that blows nobody good,
and tho electric railway lines aro finding
this out. The trafflo has been tremendous
since the fire.
The people In Shenandoah who were tho
first to see the fire aro as numerous as tho
old women who lay claim to having heard
George Washington make his farewell
address, and singularly enough tho proof
of their assertions is similar in strength.
