VOL. VI. No. 7.
BOROUGH LEGISLATION.
COUNCILMEN MEET AND TRANSACT
IMPORTANT BUSINESS.
Opinions of the Korough Solicitor Given
Upon Some Intricate Questions—Ridge
Street to be Opene<l to a \Vi<lth of
Thirty Feet from South to Main.
The members of council met in special
Bession on Tuesday evening. Messrs.
Williamson, Moore, McLaughlin, De-
Pierro and Fritzinger were present.
The minutes of the last regular meeting
were read and approved. The president
stated that the object of the meeting
was to hear the report of tho special
committee who waited on the borough
solicitor regarding tho matters rnfarpwl
to him.
Councilman DePierro presented the
solicitor's report, and it was read by the
secretary as follows:
In answer to the.matters referred by
you to me I respectfully reply as follows:
1. The council cannot legally employ
public moneys to defend officers from
the consequences of their own acts, anil
as to the case of John Martiszus, I do
not know that the officers were engaged
in doing any work for which the council
would bo justified in defending them. ,
2. In answer to the question, "can the
owner of the property from Chestnut
street south to alley be compelled to put
down ditch, etc.," I would say that
under the circumstances in this case I
think not. There is no space for a side
walk along the lot, and tho council has
before now purchased the land along the
I)onop estate, also from Adam Sachs,
and at its own cost put down curbing,
sidewalk and gutter for Patrick Dooris.
There is no gutter along the tots owned
by the Knights of Labor and the side
walk along the Lubrecht and Fowler
properties does not conform to the bor
ough ordinance. Under these circum
stances I am of the opinion that if the
council lays the gutter they cannot re
cover from the owner, and if the ordin
ance is to be enforced it should be done
in regard to all in the vicinity.
3. As to the matter of William Herz
berg selling at auction, as it is presented
to me there is no violation of the ordin
ance. An auction is where an article is
put up for sale and sold to one of many
bidders; it is a consecutive bidding in
tended to reach the highest price by
exciting competition. Since be only
oilers at oue price it is not an auction;
and since it is only done in his store
room, it cannot be a public outcry as
that must be made in a public place
Buch as a street or alley.
4. I will when court is next in session
apply for the appointment of viewers to
report on the Ridge street matter. I
would recommend that a new ordinance
bo ordained and published.
5. I will at the earliest possible
moment procure the exact location of
the public road which is now Johnson
street and then advise the council
further. Respectfully Yours,
John D. Hayes, liorough Solicitor.
The first, second and third sections
were laid over until some future time.
The fourth and fifth gections were ap
proved.
Councilman DePierro presented an
ordinance for tho opening and widening
of Ridge street from South to Main, and
it was read for the first time, the vote
stood: Ayes, 5; nays, nono.
Messrs McLaughlin, Fritzinger and
DePierro were appointed a committee to
meet the officers of the Water Company
in reference to the location for fence on
the north-east end of the park and to
lay out the same.
The ordinance for the opening and
widening of Ridge street was road a
second time and agreed to by the same
vote as before.
Patrick Dougherty presented himself
before council and asked that the bor
ough place new sills under his stable,
claiming that the water (lowing down
the alley had rotted them. A general
discussion took place and the matter
was laid over until the street committee
make its report.
The Ridge street ordinance was again
read, and approved of finally by a vote
same as two previous times. On motion
of Mr. DePierro, seconded by Mr. Mc-
Laughlin, the ordinance was ordered to
he published.
A petition presented from residents
on the lower end of Main street request
ed council to place a street lamp there.
It was decided to do so. The secretary
was instructed to order a lamp and the
street committee will locale the position
where it is to be placed.
During the time of the reading of the
solicitor's opinion, Messrs. Neuhurger,
Geritz and Ileizberg spoke upon the
questions under discussion.
The Hu/.leton Liar.
From the White Haven Journal.
There is a chap over in Hazloton who
is entitled to the entire bakery for the
brilliantly imaginative and highly color
ed special dispatches he sends to the
press of the country concerning the
peaceful denizens of White Haven and
vicinity. A few months ago he sent out
a blood curdling tale that White Ilaven
was in the possession of tramps, who pil
laged the town, held some of our maidens
in ransom, and performed diver other
outrages of equal seriousness. Our peo
ple were astounded on reading this in
the daily papers next morning, for the
story was news to them, but of a charac-
ter that inspired wrath and angor at its
utter falsity.
On Sunday we were again made the
the victims of this chap's Saturday
night's debauch, for the city papers con
tained a soul-harrowing tale that struck
terror to the stoutest heart, -and evoked
a torrent of anethemas upon the head of
this depraved wretch. This time he en
tered the Bacred vaults of a lone ceme
tery and with ghoulish glee, revelled in
tho horrifying scenes whffch his diseased
brain depicted. Hallucination was vari
ously printed, according as the city edi
tors were more or less remote from
White Haven. The Philadelphia pa
pers had it with scare heads on the front
page, complete with all details. The
New York papers put it inside, and con
densed it somewhat, dating it at llazle
ton.
HIGHLAND DOTS.
We have a few bloods running loose
in town who have been making them
selves very conspicious for several days
past and" it is pretty hard to tell into
what shady spot they will be cast unless
they mend their ways. Their latest
prank was put into effect on Monday
nightwhen they nearly destroyed a neigh
bor's garden by pulling up everything
they could get their hands upon. This
kind of business will not be tolerated
any longer and tho sooner these smart
young men quit it the bettor it will bo
for themselves.

No. 2 breaker, was transferred to No. 5

The merchants who deal in huckle
berries can get any quantity of them
here if they will only eomo for them.
Never before did the people of this place
take such an interest in picking as this
season. Some of the pickers have wash
tubs full and would be glad to sell them.
A man from White Haven is the only
dealer that comes hero to buy and as
soon as he strikes town a small army
can be seen going to him with tubs, bas
kets, buckets and vessels of every des
cription filled with berries.
