DAVIES AGAIN COMPLAINS It Results In the Committee Being In structed to See What Can be Done to Abate the Nuisance of Wagon Storage on Streets. A regulAr meeting of the Borough Council was held last evening and was a brief one. The members in attendance were Messrs. Boclim, Shoemaker, Coakloy, McGuire, Hand, Murphy, Keese, Gable, Strsughn and Nelt wender. Mr. Iieese presided owing! to the absence of tho president when the meeting was open oil. Mr. Evan J. Davies again appeared and complained of wagons being allowed to stand on North Pour alloy. He Bald it was an Injury to his business because It shut off the view between his livery stable and Centre street. Mr. Davies also said he could get no satisfaction from tho Chief Burgess and un less the nuisance Is abated he will suo the borough for damages. Mr. Boehm said he did not think Ml. Davies was being treated right and expressed the belief that tho Council runs a risk in being prosecuted in falling to abate the nuisance. Tho matter was finally disposed of by a motion from Mr. McGuiro that the lamp aud watch committee confer with tho Chief Bur gess and have the matter remedied. Mr. Boohm, of tho roads aud highways committee reported that drainage pipos had been laid on Bowers and Centre streets; that tho creek flowing under the East Centre street bridge bad been cleaned out and lowered about fifteen inches and the bridge covered. East Centre street, lietween Emerick and Union streets, is being fixed up. Mr. Shoemaker stated that the bridge near Turkey Bun is in need of repair. Mr. Iieese called attention to a ditch on Centre street, between Jardin and West streets. A recommendation by Mr. Murphy that Mrs. Anthony Gallagher, of West Centre street, bo exonerated from 1807 taxes was re ferred to tho finance committee. On motion of Mr. Coakley an order was drawn in favor of the treasurer of the Shen andoah Fire Association fur tho insurance tax money received from tho state department. On motion of Mr. Boohm tho care of firo plugs was transferred from the wator com mittee to tho fire apparatus committee Mr. Hand stated that complaints had been mado about two flues, and the committee in charge of that work was giving tho com plaints attention. Mr. Coakloy, of tho law committee Btatcd that ho went to Pottsvillo in pursuance of in structions from Couucil and found that the deed and bluo print for tho land purchased uy the borough from W. L. Torbort had been duly recorded and transcribed buttho original papers could not bo found. Ho conferred with Borough Solicitor Pomeror. who op pressed tho opiuiou that possibly one of the attornoys interested had taken tho papers for temporary use and forgot to leave the cus tomary tracer behind. Mr. McGuire moved that If tho original deed and print cannot bo found the com mittee instruct tho solicitor to get duplicates of them, tho purposo of the motion being to try and locate tho original papers. A letter from A. W. Schalck, Esq.. asking for $500 on accouut of tho $1,000 ho claims for services in the wator and othor cases was referred to tho law aud water committees for consideration and recommendation. As Council was about to adjourn Mr. Gable arose to a quostion of privllcgo and stated that ho understood that there was some dis sension on tho part of public water works consumers as 'to supposed actions on his part. Oue report ho had hoard was that the ferti lizer company had secured connection with tho old water company because he refused to allow tho fertilizer company to connect with tho public water works. Mr. Gable said he wanted it understood that ho had nothing at all to do with tho matter. Several of tho Couucilmeu, in turn, said Mr. Gable's statement was tbo first they had heard of the matter, but Mr. Neiswentcr stated that tho superintendent of the public wator works refused to mako a yearly con tract with tho fcrterllzer company and con nection with tho old company was secured for f ID per year. - This amount he believed was too high, but if tho borougli would agree to the terms tho company will connect with the plant. The matter was referred to tho water com mittee for consideration.

Oraef, Esq., of Tamaqua, who represents Holt, the defendant, contends that the conducting of a pool room is not a "business" within the meaning of any of the Act of Assembly pro tecting the wages of employes, but Is simply a method of amusement. Counsel for Daltou insists that the plain tiff was a olerk In the place, and that as clerk his wages are protected, no matter where, or for whom ho works. In support 01 this contention counsel has cited authori ties showing that the Supreme Court has held that for tlio purposes as sought in this case the term "clerk" under the law extends to salesmen, and as part of Dalton's duties were to sell cigars to customers of the pool room there can be no doubt that he comes within tho protection of the law.
