experiments in telegraphing; without tho
uso of wires before tho German omperor.
Ho soys in concliulinu: his article:

that for certain purposes the now teleg

Thoro is a future for tho uso of tpnrk

Tho receiving apparatus can easily ho
undo In a handy form, not bulkier than n

would tick out tho nnmo of tho light

Mr. Poll said ho was in favor of building a
storago reservoir on tills sido of Locust

dam could lie built uu this sido by men work
ing out taxes to a great extent.
Mr, .Tames said a dam on this side would
cost no less than $75,000.
Mr. Coakley said Mr. C. E, TItman would
like to make an olfer to Council to lease the
old reservoirs to tho borough, or ho will lease
the borough plant.

water for the towu and tho proposition would
not remedy tho evil.

ISrandouvillo reservoir.
Mr. Englert was also In favor of tho plan

Piesident McGuiio said an attempt to build
a reservoir on this sido would bring on suits

Mr. Murphy thought the water coinmittco
ought to glvo the matter more consideration
aud come iu with more dclluito inlormation.
Mr. JamcssMid there were two propositions
for tho stream and pipe plan in tho valley
one for $10,000 and another for $20,000.
Mr. Coakley moved that the water com
mittee inquire what arrangements can bo
made with tho tux collectors for financial
assittanco iu having tho work of enlarging
tlio water plant done. The motion was
an led.
Mr. James moved that water committee
