w HOLE No. S67.


Citizen ii. b. Shaffer appeared and
complained of water standing in ditch
outside of his pavement--ihe result
of II gutter laid in accordance with
grade fixed by the corporation.
On motion of Mr.. Hill, the street
Committee was directed to inquire in
to the matter, and if they find the
situation as stated, to repair the evil
under the direction of the Supervisor.
Messrs. Hitchins Bros. applied for
grade on Bowery in order to curb and
pave IN front of their property.
Mr. Offman reported gutter trouble
in front of Zais' residence.
Mr.. Hill thought Street Committee
should have discretion to repair bad
places at once wherever it was absolute
ly necessary without advice or consent
OF Council, unless the expense would
be great. He was opposed to half
way repairs.
Council went into the election of three
Assessors. MesSrs. A. T. Reckner, J.
5. Metzger, Andrew Smeltz, Peter
knierlem, William Thomas and Rich
ard Beall were placed in nomination.

Brerttfes.-The Street Committee
has made the tour of the town examin-
ing pavements, street, and alleys. A
great many pavements and sidewalks
have been condemned, whereupon the
Bailiff is intructed to enforce the Or
dlnance thereunto appertaining to the
last ditch.
"On His Last Legs" is billed for
Moat's Opera House Monday evening.
1t is very sprightly drama and its
rendition by home talent ought to fill
the house. Tcket-holders will be re-
galed with ice cream also.
The professional workingmen en-
gagged in endeavoring to edit the or
gans for the N. o. of N. A. are "hol-
lering ouch - even in such out -of-the-
way places as Gallitzin.
Complaints of the neglected con-
dition of the old cemetery on the hill
are numerous, loud and deep. 1t is
open to cattle forage, juvenile van
dalism and desecration of all varieties.
Owners of lots there think the pro-
prietors of the cemetery, whoever they
are, owe better attention to the prop
erty as whole, and that meanwhile
the town authorities should take a
hand in protecting the resting places
of the dead from the vile hands of the
sacrilegious. A few survivors of
fathers and mothers lying there know
the names of parties who have lately
stolen flowers from venerated graves,
and. unless stopped, they promise TO
unbosom in court. The Mayor very
properly called attention to the matter
ut the last meeting of the Council.
James Welsh, of this place. had one
