 - Last Saturdays borough meeting amounted to nothing The first clause of the call sread Ito hear propositions from the acqueduct company, etc., and the second 'fto do any other business proper, etc. The acqneduct company made no propositions aas the call provided fersAo ac- ton to be taken if made. The plan of the burgesses was to have Q committee ap- pointed to get propositions, and to arrange for such pubtic tests as they deemed essen tial and proper for intelligent action to be taken later, and motion to this effect was made but voted down. by those who insist ed that the company should make its prop ositions and have immediate action then. The attendance at the meeting was very emall, and largely of the element hostile to the hydrant plan. The people of the now unprotected back streets, most interested in the matter, were conspicuously absent. Another meeting is called, as will be seen by advertisement in another place, and this time the call requires the business to come up in the shape that last Saturdays obieetors seemed to wish.
