That tilts Council hnvillir under consideration the matter of the stone wall recently erected by Anthony Flynn across tho stream 01 wnier pushing tnrougii 1119 property, nml 011 I'.mcrlcle street near uiik sirces Wllltn stream appears to bo on ancient water -course nml the natural outlet for all tho dniiiiairo anil sewerage of the whole eastern section of tills borough, ami has been used as such fiirtho lust thirty years anil over, and the Council linving beard the report of the street committco nnd tho Solicitor anil the Supervisor and various other members of Council, nnd of sundry citlreus, nil of who-n have pcrsonnl knowledge of tho premises, nnd tho standing watere which hn o accumulated and Hooded nnd submerged a number of houses in the vicinity, ami havine duly eoimtdered tho matter, this Council has declared tho snfd stone wall erected by .the said Anthony Kl nn to be a nuisance, and wefmther Unit the protection nnd safety of the buildings ami other property In that vicinity nnd of tho health of the residents of that neighborhood Imperatively remilro the Immediate removal of su'-U nuisance. Therefore, be it resolved and it Is hereby resolved that the Chief Burgess be and Is hereby instriutcd nnd directed at once to notify the said Anthony Klynn forthwith to take down and to remove tho said stone wall entirely and to restore the channel of said sticam to its former condition, so that the waters of said stream may again (low through said premises and How again in its accustomed clruunel as heretofore.

Mr. Lnlly then arose and, after remarking tliat ho would not like to bo tho Chief Bur gess, wanted to know if tho borough was prepared to quell a riot, which ho lielieved would surely follow tho attempt to tear down the stouo wall. President James replied that if it was not tho intention of Council to enforco tbo law there was no uso induing anything at all in the matter. Mr. JJand said tho borough was prepared to staud by the olllcers who would bo sent to pull down tho wall. Solicitor Pomeroy added that the Chief Burgess and Health Olllcers, and such help as they may hire, have tho right to go upon tho premises to abate tho nuisanco by ro-opeiing the natural water course and if Mr. Klynn, or anyone else, undertakes to interfere lie will be placed ill the samo position as anyone clso who undertakes to intcrforo with a constable or other officer in tlio performance of duty.
