nell, 500 SO; j. Kennedy, $30.63; W. Il.
Bradley, $50; E. W. Lewis, hauling,
SCI; j. Il. Lewis, hauling, 1911 so; Wilbur
Wilson, surveying. 80, making o total for
October Of $2l0.28. Bills amounting to
1910 for the extension of the water mains
to the Knsuff organ factory were re-
ceived from the water department and
ordered paid. Several opinions from
Bradford d Vandegrift OF Wilmington
upon disputed legal matters which have
recently come up for settlement were
read. One OF them very effectually set
ties the differences which exist between
the council and the Board Of Health re-
| garding the power Of the latter to take
cogni2ance OF and official action on
public nuisances before they actually
become such. The Board OF Health de-
sired powers more Legislative and less
advisory in their character, but this
opinion confirms the position assumed
by the council. O. X. Robinson, repre-
senting the Pennsylvania Globe Com
pany, supposed to be merely another
name fer the Standard Oil Company,
was present to induce council to renew
the contract which this company holds
for lighting the town. In view OF the
strong probability that electric lights
will soon be introduced into the town,
Couneilrenewed the contract for only elk
months 81 the rate of 1871 per lamp per
annum, but with the privilege OF renew
ing for six months longer and by 80
doing take advantage OF the old yearly
rate Of $l8 per lamp. Much other minor
business was transacted and the meeting
adjourned to meet November Goth.
