Son, BROS A utcresting liorough Council Session Last Night. MR. MELUSKEY RESIGNED ! T. J. .Tamos Objoots to the Immcdlato Election of a Snccossor nutl Leaves tho Chamber Followed By ' Tliroo Otu'or Mombors. A lengthy and Important session of the Borough Council was held last night and the Councllmen spent nearly four hours In discussing various interests of tho borough. The meeting was a comparatively har monious one up to almost the close, When the good humor of some of the Council men ran over what thoy considered a mis" placed switch and the meeting adjourned in the midst of proceedings attending ah election for want of n quorum. When Council was thinking ahout giving up labor for tho night Mr. Meluskoy arose and said he desired to resign his seat as Councilman from the First ward because he had moved into the Second ward. Tho resignation was' abcepted with expressions of regret on the part of Mr. Kane, who made tho motion to accept, and followed with a lnotlon to 'All the vacancy. Hero was where-the kick came and four of tho members (Citizens) retired, leaving quorum. The Councllmen in attendance at the meeting were Messrs. Kane, Iland, Boehtn, Iteese, T. J. James, Gable, Straughn, Moluskoy, Dougherty, D; It. James, Kerns, Magargle aud McGulre. Mr. Morris, a representative of the Cob umbla H. & 8. 1 E. Co., asked for tho company's appropriation aud it wae granted. Mr.' Kane said it had been decided to put a 20-lnch terra cotta sewer pipe at the west end of Coal street, so as to do away with tho bridge and ask the Schuylkill Traction Company to pay Its proportion of the expense. Mr. Meluskey reported that the Jeanes- ville note that created so much talk a few weeks ago had been cancelled upon pay ment of $22 interest. Mr. Gable said the fire of last Saturday showed that the borough was in need of fire hose and two bids had been received for tho repairing of tho hook and ladder truck, one for $73 and the other for ?7fl, Thirty connections for the hoso and fire plugs have arrived and the committee recommended that' each fire company be supplied with six of them. Mr. Iteese made a lengthy statement on the result of a test of the firo hose on hand, aud on motion of D. It. James, tho firo ap paratus committee was instructed to pro oure bids for $1,000 feet of hose. The style of coupling was left to the committee. A discussion arose upon a question as to what powers a member of the safety com mittee had at a fire. The result was an Informal declaration by Council that the committee has full police powers. Chief Tosh stated that tho people who acted as members of the committee last Saturday aud were ordered off the ground were under the influence of drink. After some discussion over a grade adopted for the Bice properties on South Pear alley, between Poplar and Laurel streets, It was decided to require other property owners In that vicinity to put their gutters to that grade. Mr.-Kane said Itaspberry alley was in very bad condition on account of there being no gutters. The Burgess was In structed to attend to the matter. The construction committee was In structed to put a trap in the sower pipe that runs through tho collar of tho Borough building. Mr. Meluskoy reported that the pumping machinery at Brandonvllle had been in sured for ?l,000 and building for $2,000. Borough Solicitor Pomeroy stated that he had entered appeals from the awards of the arbitrators in "the cases of William" L. Torbert ond the City of Philadelphia against the borough. Mr. Boehm and the Chief Burgess re ported that the property owners were pre paring to abate the "West Coal street and Strawberry alley sewer nuisances. Mr. Meluskey said the water committee was not prepared to make a re port ou the rates of water rents, or on the connections. It Involves considerable work. He also stated that he had received an answer from Contrac tors Quinu & Kerns relative to the test of the pipes, in which they state that the specifications upon which their contract was based do not provide for any final test of the pipe; that they have reference only to the testing of the pipe before being placed in the ground and thn,t test was made at the plant of B. D. Wood & Co., where the pipe was made aud Council failed to have a representative present at the test as requested by tho contractors. Tho latter also stated that thsre is too muoh pressure In the town for an economic distribution of water and it should bo re duced. A communication from the contractors to Pretldont McGulre was then read : It stated that the contractors would tost the pipe on Saturday, June 8th, at 10 a.m., with hydraulic pressure, from the dhv. trlbutlng reservoir aud after tho test is made the contractors will not ho rosponsl bio for any damage that may result to the pipe. Mr. Gable and Superintendent Betterldge said it would bo impossible to make tne tost, as tho reservoir Is being repaired and there Is no water In it and it was decided to notify Quluu & Kerns that Council was not prepared for tho test. Fire Marshal James 8. Williams sent in a lengthy report in which he mado many recommendations of supplies for tho firo department. One Important part of the report was that which referred to the firo of last Saturday. It stated : "Tho cause, as yet, is unknown. The fire had too much start. The alarm was late. There are many different stories and I am unable to decide In which place it started. I would like Council to Instruct some com mlttee to aid lu trying to locate tlio cause and placo. Among the parties who claim to have seen the fire before tho alarm was sounded were Mr. L. A. Bamberger, who claims It started lu tho HebaijD office; Mr. II. II. Zullck, who says It started lu the bake oven; aud Mrs. Pooler1, Joseph PoterS, Mrs. Graober and 1. J. Feoloy say it started in the stable. Mrs Greener says coal oil was burning very strong. Many people claim the stable was set on fire by electric wires. Mr. Ploppert claims all the fires at his place were drawn, Mr. Boyer says there was no firo In his building, or uuder the boiler, and Mr, TltmaU says there was no firo of any kind in his stable. A lady claims a man jumped over tho hack fence at the stable and ran out through the yard of her promises to White street before the alarm was given." Tho report was accepted aud filed. On motion of T. J. James, Couucll de cided to give the fire apparatus committee one week to ask for bids for hoso and to hold a special meeting to consider tkf bids. Tho report of Chief Burgess Burn.s was read. It showed moro revenue from fines, licenses and permits for the mouth thau has been recorded for any one mouth in the history of the borough. The collections ainquuted to S15G.B0, more than enough to pay tho salary of the Burgess for three months. The report of Chief of Police Tosh was also a remarkable one. It also broke all records lu tho pollco annals of tho town as to tho number of arrests aud collections of fines for a single mouth. During May 51 arrests were made and 39 of the people ar rested paid fines aggregating $81. Twelve of tho people sorved time and lodgings were furnished to 18 poople. Mr. T. J. James said Mr. T. II. Hutchi son, of the Ferguson House, claimed his driver was unjustly flued for fast driving, Mr. James said he only heard one side of tho story, but ho thought Council should have the matter Investigated and he moved that it bo referred to tho lamp and watch committee with instructions to report nt the next meeting. Tho motion was carried Superintendent Betterldge stated that the repair work at tho Brandonvllle reser voir was about completed. Many of the wator pipes have no protection. He has made measurements of the distances of stops, or valves, from houses and curb lines and has recorded them in a hook. The superintendent was Instructed to make written reports to Council. A Pottsvllle company asked permission to erect a small structure on one of the streets to make a tost of firo proof paint. Council refused to permit the experiment, some of the members remarking that the town has had enough fires. After the bills had been considered Mr. Meluskoy arose and stated that on account of changing his placo of resldenco he de sired to resign. On motion of Mr. Kane, tho resignation was accepted. Mr. Kane then nominated Timothy O'Brion to fill the vacancy. Mr. T. J. James amended that tho filling of the vacancy be left until the next meet ing of Council. Tho question was raised as to the Order of business and Mr. Kerns moved that Council proceed to fill tho vacancy. Mr. T. J. James said the majority mem. hers were taking advantage of the others and he would not remain. He left the room followed by Messrs. Gable' and lteeso and beckoned to Mr. Magargle to follow. The latter geutleman responded and as the four were leaving the president put Mr. Kerns' motion and declared it) carried. Mr. Kane then moved that Timothy O'Brien be elected to fill the vacancy, but the president stated that there was no quorum aud declared Council adjourned.
