Mills property, in order to furnish the borough
with more abundant supply of water:
Mr.. Talley stated that he was in favor OF
better supply of water, and thought the people
of the borough were almost unanimously so,
but there was manifest desire on the part of
seme of those present to have more time and
information on the subject; that he had no
doubt that if his motion prevailed the invesd-
mittee favorable to the purchase of the Palmer
property; that the citizens would accept the
report and all would be satisfied. A. Lewis
Smith, Esq, Ralph Buckley, ID. Jones Brooke,
and G. d. Manly, Esq, also argued in favor of
submitting the matter to committee. Colonel
Thomas T.V. Cooper and others opposed it, The
motion to commit was lost, 23 for to "a against.
The original resolution was carried without op-
position. ,e
The meeting was one of great interest to the
town, and the proceedings exciting. Some of
the speakers indulged in personalities, and were
excused on the ground that they were SO much
absorbed as to imagine they were attending
political meeting
