THEIR BULK BID WAS $4,740.
Mnurlco Morrison JUntlo it Membor of
tho ltonrtl or Uoalth Timothy
O'Brien Succeeds Mr. Mollis
lccy an Councilman.
The Borough Council got down to work
in earnest last night and in a session of
comparatively short duration disposed of
considerable very important business. The
members iii atteudauce were 51 essrs. Kane,
Magarglc, D. It. James, T. J. Jamos,
Straughn, Gablo, Kerns, Dougherty, Hand,
Gaftlgan, Reese and McGulro. Tho star
attraction and event of tho evening was
the consideration of tho proposals for
making the public water works connec
tions, which were disposed of after somo
discussion.
As soon as Council was ready for busi
ness Mr. J. J. Franey called attention to
Pear alley, south of Oak street. He said
the roadway was full of holes and asked
that It be cnt down to grade.
Mr. Kane said the street committee
could do nothing without authority to cut
down the alley from Cherry to Oak, and
there was a question as to who would bo
responsible for altering the paving and
gutters now in.
President McGulro said the committee
stood instructed with power to act, and that
ended the matter.
Mr. T. J. James said the borough
treasury was entirely out of money and it
would be necessary to raise some. The
finance committco and officers of Council
were authorized to negotiate a loan of
3,000 for ninety days.
A special meeting of Couucil will be held
next Monday evening to meet Tax Collec
tor Scaulau and review tho exoneration list
for 1893, and the collector is to submit his
exoneration list for 1891 at the next regular
meeting of Council.
Patrick Hanuafee, of South Bowers
street, was recommonded for exoneration
from payment of taxes.
Mr. Straughn made a report for the law
committee as to the question of superior
authority raised between Chief Burgess
Burns and Chief of Police Tosh. The
ovideuco taken in tho case was submitted
without recommendation with a written
opinion by Borough Solicitor Pomeroy,
which concluded as follows: "I do not
think the Chief Burgess had any power to
graut a license for a performance or public
exhibition on tho public street, and if he
had the power and exercised it, as iu this
case, it did not authorize the licensee to
obstruct the public street, sidewalk or
crossing, In tho manner testified to by the
Chief of Police, and the latter, In remov
ing the obstruction in tho manner he did
on the complaint of citizens living in the
vicinity, was acting within the scope of
his authority as an officer. I do not view
his action as ignoring the licenso granted
by the Chief Burgess to' Holland, as Hol
land may have gone elsewhere and given
his exhibition ou a public street without
creating a nuisance of which anyone
would have complained."
Mr. Gable, chairman of tho watei com
mltteo, presented and read the bids received
for malting the public water works con
nections. Ho said the bids of T. C
Waters, of Eureka, and Jesse IS. "Wyatt, of
Williamstown, were not accompanied by
bonds as required by tho advertisement
Mr. Gable also stated that the "Waters bid
was received a few minutes after the time
specified in the notice, but the committee
took into consideration that Mr. "Waters
had been very busy and decided to let
Council decide upon the admlssability of
his bid. The committee had no recom
mendatlon to make on any of the bids.
Mr. T.J. James said that Mr. Waters
had requested him to state that he would
furnish a bond satisfactory to Council.
In tho absence of a motion that the
omissions on the part of the bidders be
waived, the President instructed the com
mittee to set tho Waters and Wyatt bids
aside and they were not considered. Both
bids were above four of the other competi
tors and the WilllanistOMU man's figures
were away up. His bulk price was $8,300,
or 83,300 if the borough would furnish all
material. The next highest bidder was
Isaac Morgan, of towu, who wanted $3 for
each connection, or 50,000 for the wholo
job. Mr. Waters asked 82,00 per conuec-
tlon.
The bids regularly before Council de
veloped close competition between three of
them, as tho figures will show. Isaac
Morgan's was the firet opened and, as
previously stated, he asked 83 for each
oonuectlon, or 80,000 iu bulk. T. P.
Bradigan's was the second; the figures wore
82.10 for eaolt connection, or 81,800 in
bulk. William P. Williams' bid was the
third and he asked the same as Mr. Brad
lgan 82.10 for eaaU connection, or a bulk
of 81,800 ou a basis of 2,000 connections.
P. W. Bell's bid followed and his Jlguros
wore $1,800 in bulk "op to the sum of
:,000 connections," or 82.25 each, lead pipe
to bo put iu bulk for 8030 aud iron plpo
for 8350. The bid of Gallagher & Lauib
was the Inst opened and the figures were
82.37 for eaoh connection, or 81J-J0 in bulk.
Mr. naud moved that tho oontract be
awarded to the lowest bidder and that he
Gallagher St Lamb Get the
Connections Contract.
bo required to furnish a bond In half the
amount of the contract.
Mr. Gablo raised the point that Mr. Bell.
tho lowest bidder, did not comply with the
advertisement for the proposals, in that his
bid was not properly itemized, and,
further, that his hid was limited to 2,000
connections, whereas tho advertisement
specified 2,000 "more or less."
Mr. Dougherty moved as an amendment
to Mr. Hand's motion that tho contract be
given to tho next lowest bidder (Gallagher
& Lamb) ; aud after considerable discus
sion the motion was carried as amended,
the understanding being that the contrac
tors will uso all the old corporations they
can and allow tho borough the price fixed
iu the bid for each one used.
Mr. Gablo said the Columbia Brewing
Company was desirous of securing water
from tho public works and the water com
mtttee had deemed it advisable to let
Council decide whether such placos are to
be connected at the present time. If they
are meters will be required. The matter
was laid ovor with iustructlous to the com
mittee to report at the next meeting with a
recommendation.
President McGuIre said ho had received
a letter from Contractor M. P. Qulnu
stating that, as the water works pipe line
had been accepted, he would llko to have
the $0,000 Council withheld. It was de
cided to draw an order for $2,000 iu favor
of Quiun & Kerns nnd tho balance be
held pending a liquidation of the amount
Council claims the contractors are re
sponsible for in making repairs to the
Braudonvllle dam.
President McGulro announced that ho
would nominate Maurice Morrison, of the
First ward, as a member of the Board of
Health to succeed T. J. Broughall, whose
term has expired. The nomination was
confirmed.
Mr. Kane moved that Timothy O'Brien,
of the First ward, be elected to fill the
vacancy in Council made by tho resigna
tion of Anthony Meluskoy. There was a
division on this question, but the motion
was carried by a vote of G to 5.
