Hanltnry nml Water. An eleven o'clock swwlon of the Borough Council win held last night, but it was not as exciting m the last one. It looked at one time, when the electric light question was touohed upon, that the closing incidents or the last meeting of Council would lw re hearsed, but better Judgment prevailed. The Councilmeu in attendance at the meeting were Messrs. McOuire, Lally, Coakley, lloehm, Magargle, Shoemaker, Straughn, James, NIswender, Englert, Gable, Bremian, lteeee and Hand. Messrs Hoffman, Iiroxton and Jones ap peared In behalf of themselves and Messrs. llees, Snell and Dalrd and asked permission to connect sewers with the borough sewer on Stmwborry alley and the permission was granted on condition that the partios sign an agreement not to connect water closets It was decided to place a double crossing at the corner of West and Centre streets, lead ing from tlio schoolhouse. Mr. MeOulre stated that the creek at the eastern end of tlio town was tilling up with coal dirt, and also under the bridge, causing the creek to overflow to tlio great datnaire ot residonts in the vicinity. He moved that tho street committee lie instructed to clean out the creek. Considerable discussion followed and when called upon for an opinion Borough Solicitor I'omcroy confirmed tho opinion expressed by some members that the creek was on the proporty of the P. & E. C. & I. Co. and tho lwrough had no right to go Upon tho land and clean out the creek. The bridge ho said, in line with tho street was tlio public high way and tho creek remained private property, but if tlio water pipes undor tho bridge formed an obstruction to tho creek they should bo cither raised or lowered to remove tho obstruction. Mr. Lally disagreed with tho Solicitor and said ho bclloved that part of tho creek under the bridgo was public prop erty. Mr. McGuiie's motion was lost for want of a majority. Mr. James slated that the duplicate for 1E07 had been written and amounted to $31, 030.47. Ho also statod that Council could not lrirally exonerate real cstato from taxes. A motion to reconsider the exonerations for 18U3 was loft over until next meeting pend ing furthor information as to exoneration of real ostate. Mr. McUuire moved that a motion made by Mr. Gablo at a subsequent meeting to allow Tax Collector Soanlan a rubato of $500 to help him defray tho exponse of constable hire and othor expenses iu collecting taxes, be taken up for consideration, but the motion was lost pending an opinion on the question from tlio Solicitor as to Council's right to al low it. Tlio report of the fire apparatus committee included bids ior hose and the following con tracts wero awarded : Eureka how, 500 feet .it 90 cents per fool ; rubber Iioso, C0U feet at $1.00 per foot ; Keystouo hose, 500 feet at 80 cents per foot. Mr. Lally again brought up tho olectric light question and moved that tho motion .nvarding the contract bo reconsidered. The motion was lost. Mr. Lally thou stated that since the passago of tho law of 1803 no legis lation passed by Council had been submitted to the Chief Burgess for his sanction, or re jection. For this reason, ho claimed, tho electric light contract was illegal and void. Sulicitor Pomcroy said that, under tho law referred to, only ordinances and resolutions in tho nature of ordinances need bo referred to tlio Chief Burgoss as stated, but that the ollicial has nothing to do with contracts or tho deliberations of Council, except so far as they apply to ordinances, or resolutions in the lmtiiro ft ordinances.

Mr. McGuiro moved that the borough ap propriate tho amount lor the purposo of run ning tho stream through tho Conry, Graham, U'Noill and other lots facing on Centre street. Messrs.
