The adjourned borough meeting at the
engine house was as anticipated very largely
attended. The laying of larger tax than
usual was the principal question before the
meeting. The matter of having policemen
stationed in the borough was talked over, but
no decision arrived at. The proposition, laid
over from the last meeting, to lay four mill
tax was promptly voted down after a few re-
marks from Captain William A. Wright, G..
w. Cunningham, @. B. Burwell and others
1t was also voted to pay three per cent. to
Collector s. B. Hill for collecting the taxes
and to lay two mill tax. The meeting then
adjourned sine die, and the important ques-
ton which has been agitsted among the
borough people for the last week is settled
for the present or until the next session of
the State legislature, when we shall be an
nexed to the city, as some say is sure to take
place.
