Last evening the town council held meet.
ing in tho town hall to hear arguments tor and
against the passage of an ordinance prohibiting
future interments within the limits of the cor
pOratlon, petition numerously signed in favor
OF the same having been presented to the couu-
ell at "a previous meeting. As there is much
difference of opinion among the residents OF
the town IN regard to the matter there WAS a
large crowd present and much excitement pre.
vailed, though of friendly character. The
discussion was opened by Hon VIM. yeirs
Boulc, who in a speech of two hours and a hall
opposed the passage of the ordinance He
Claimed that no detriment to the progress or
health OF tine place had been occasioned by the
two cemeteries in the corporate limits and that
II would be unjust to tine living to deprive them
OF the privilege of being buried beside their
dead friends and relatives. At the conclusion
OF his remarks the discussion was continued by
Messrs. Cooke ID. Lucketr III. NJ Talbot
Geo. Peter. T. Ii. Higgins and others. all in
favor OF the ordinance. decision of the
matter Will be made by the council at their
next meeting, Friday night. 1t is thought tina,
the ordinance will provide for the use of lots
IN the cemeteries by those who own them. but
that no more will be permitted TO be sold
There Is but little space now left in either o.
