Committee Chosen to Wait on Borough Council and Recommend Radical Re trenchment in Expenses. A meeting of citizens and taxpayers of Freeland was held yosterday after noon In Municipal hall. Ex-Burgess James M. Gallagher was chosen chair man and James J. Tluiony secretary. While the primary object of the meet ing was to obtain an expression of opinion from the citizens in regard to the proposed light contracts now before the borough council, the discussion took a wider r&ngo and the resolutions adopted cover a majority of the depart ments of municipal government in which alleged unuocce9sary extrava gance has crept in. Tho gathering was one of the most representative and non-partisan that tho town has yet seen assembled to dis cuss borough affairs. Addresses and remarks were made by Attorney 1). J. McCarthy, Attorney George T. Brown, James W. Bohlin, J. J. McMonamln, Frank O'Donnell, Condy GafTney, Jos eph I). Myers, Councilman Ely Craw ford, P. J. Boyle, David P. Jonos, Joseph Davis and others. Some slight opposition against con sidering any other subject but light rates developed, but tho majority in attendance deemed it an opportune time to give vent to the feeling on general expenditures of public money and tho resolutions given below, pre sented mainly by Attorney Brown, met with cordial approval. A committee of one citizen from each ward, consisting of Frank O'Donnall, W. B. Flad, Mathias Schwabe, Hugh O'Donnell, James J. Tlmony and J. J. McMonamln, was chosen to present to council tho following resolutions, and If council falls to act In accordance with tho suggestions offered tho meeting Is to reassemble at tho call of tho chairman and socretary, when further action In tho form of procuring an injunction from court to restrain tho officials from executing a light contract which will exceed the borough's resources will probably be taken: RKHOI.I/TIONH ADOPTKI). We, tho citizens of Freeland borough in meeting assombled, looking back upon tho profligacy and wasteful ex travagance of tho present system of borough government, and Whereas, It Is the sense of this meet ing that this system should bo remedied, therefore be it Resolved, That In view of tho num ber of special police appointed by the burguss and in connection with the contables In ouch ward and the high constable, tho present number of polico tuen is entirely unnecessary and an un warranted expense to tho borough and that one paid policeman is all that Is ro i|uirnd and all that the borough revenue warrants. It Is further the sense of this meeting that in this one paid po liceman should bo Invested the authority and duties of the present health officer and the latter office abolished. Be It further Resolved, That compared with the services rendered In tho past 3150 por annum is an excessive salary for the borough solicitor, and that compared with the remuneration of same officer In boroughs of like size 375 per annum is geuerous and equitable compensation for tho discharge of the duties devolving upon this officer. In view of the lack of any necessity of a janitor for the public building for at least five months in tho year, and the oaso with which those duties can bo dis charged by the street commissioner and bis force, wo also favor abolishing this office and consolidating its duties with those of the street commissioner and the increasing of the compensation of the later officer to 345 por month on account of the extra duties thus imposed upon this officor. We also favor tho levying of a tax of 37.50 each on all water plugs as a slight compensation In roturn for tho privileges enjoyed by the Freeland Water Company injoccupying the streets and in a measure to offset tho present outrageous rental chargod for each plug when compared with the services rend ered. Uoat Cough Syrup. Tate Good. Use In time. Bold by druggists. El FREELAND, PA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1902. Wo also favor tho placing of tho sal ary of the secretary of the Board of Health at 330 per annum and consider this an equitable reward for the ser vices rendered by this officer. Wo also favor tho Including of the care of tho firo alarm system as ono of tho considerations of any contract that may bo hereafter entered Into be tween the town and Electric Light Company, and thereby save the borough 360 per yoar, the present cost of the testing of the system and thus In addi tion have tho system in competent hands. Wo believe tho salary of the treasurer should bo fixed at 3100 per year and that this amount will pay for the labor required in the discharge of the duties of the office. We also donounco tho tondency of past councils toward the profligacy of expenditures and tho multiplication of useless and unnecessary borough offi cials to prey on the resources of tho town and thereby retard all improve ments and prevent the furnishings of the absolute necessity of a town in tho way of lighting, well-kept streets, uni form sidewalks and a host of other ben efits which have been denied tho citizens of the town owing to tho foregoing abuses and barnacles of borough gov ernment. Therefore be it Resolved, That tho chairman of this meeting be authorized to appoint a com mittee of ono representative citizen of each ward to wait on the borough coun cil and present these resolutions and request that tho ordinances bo revised and such other steps taken as are necessary to put the foregoing recom mendations into force at the earliest possible moment. Recapitulation of amount saved: Borough police, 31,080; solicitor, 375; janitor, 3150; water plugs, $1350; secre tary Board of Health, 390; electrician, 360; borough treasurer, 3300; electric light, 31,000; total, 33,005. Tho saving on light can bo accom plished in the following manner: Tho light can arranged in what Is called staggering, or take for Instance Centre street, starting at one end and place a light at every other corner; then on Washington street and Ridge street, place tho light on every corner so as to alternate with those on Centre street. In this manner it will only tako a little over half of the present number of lights and save that much expense for the borough, until such time as the finances are in condition to justify an Increase in the number of lights. Be it further Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the borough council shall not execute a contract with tho Free land Electric Light Company at a rate exceeding 355 per lamp por year, nor shall said contract exceed a period of throo years; and should council bo un able to secure electric light at above terms wo recommend that a substitute light of the grado of the Welsbach lamp bo secured at a rate not exceeding 330 per lamp per yoar. Extensive Improvements. The Improvements under way by tho Freeland Silk Mill Company, at its plant on Birkbeck street, are being pushed forward as rapidly as possible. Two arc lights were placed in position yesterday, and with their aid the work of excavating at the roar of the mill is now going on night and day. The boilers, two in number, havo ar rived. They are 200 horse-power each and will be set In brick. Tho boiler room, for which the excavation is now being made, will be 7 feet deep from the surface and about 14 above, 36 feet long and 56 feet wido. At presont tho mill receives its power from the electric light plant, but after these boilers are placed in position the mill will have Its own power aud will probably furnish its own light. Additional machinery has also boon ordered, and a thorough rearrangement of tho entire workings will be made. The presont number of day employes, 170, will bo increased to at least 250, and the night force will also be largely increased. Tho floors of tho mill are to bo re placed and Improved sanitary accom modations will be provided. W. F. Ilallstoad, former gonoral manager of the D. L. & W. Railroad, and W. 11. Taylor, a business man, are the choice of tho Scranton Railway Company on the board of arbitration which is to settle the dispute between the company and its union employes. President John Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers, and Prosidout William Corliss, of the Scranton Typographical Union, are tho arbitrators soloctod by the employes. Tho board will select a fifth man. This Is tho first time a labor dispute has been submlttod to arbitration in these parts and its out come will bo watched with great in terest. STRIKE TROUBLES One Oeatli Recorded hh a Result of the Itiot at Hhenuiidoali. As a result of the riot at Shenandoah Wednesday evening Joseph Beddall died shortly after 10 o'clock last night.

It Is extremely difficult to learn the names of these per sons and the nature of their wounds. While martial law lias not yet been proclaimed as a result of the night's rioting, a provost guard patrols a por tion of tho town. This guard Is doubled about the station of # the Philadelphia and Reading Railway, where most of the shooting took place. Whilo there wore several shooting af frays in the neighboring towns, Shen andoah has since been free from any thing approaching serious disorder. The mobilization of 1,200 members of the Fourth, Eighth arid Twelfth regi ments and tho Governor's troop, roin forccd by the prom [it and emphatic action of President Fahy, of District 9, unquestionably made for peace and good order. In an interview last night General Goblu said: "There appears to be no necessity to ovorrun tho region with troops. We will for tho present at least act precisely as though wo were upon our annual encampment. There will be Interference with tho civil authorities. What may be done later Is pure con jecture." TUB CONTRACT BYBTBM. The Philadelphia Press, the organ of the Coal trust, is authority fur the state ment that "the operators are little dis turbed by tho threat of the mine work ers to leave tho anthracite Holds for tho bituminous region. It was said yester day that when tho collieries are started again there will be a decided change in the manner of getting out coal. It is said that tho coal companies will con tract with a fow miners to work each colliery, and in this way the law relative to employing only miners will bo over come. Tho miner or contractor will do tho hiring of the laborers and ho will bo able to comply with all the requirements of tho law. "Under the Pennsylvania statutes no one can become a miner unless he has worked as a laborer two years In a mine aud has passed a satisfactory examina tion. It is said the law does not specify what amount of work a minor has to do, and on this account it is believed tho mines can bo operated by a fow miners. "It is thought this is what tho oper ators meant when some time ago they said that when tho miners resumed work tho number required to got out the coal would be at least one-third less than tho number required previous to the strike." BTKIKR PARTS MAN AND WIFK. An Incident showing how strong Is tho fooling among upper end women oc curred yosterday at Wanarale. George Stoker, an oraploye at the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre mine there, returned to work a wook ago. His wife opposed this 9top and day after day begged blm to stop work, but ho would not.
