Dissatisfaction Over the Result OF the |
Borough Meeting - Republicans
Nominate Candidates for Represent
atives-Nevvsy Items From the Busy |
Town.
There is much dissatisfaction over the |
result of the borough meeting Wednesday |
evening. The adoption of the report of |
the committee which recommends the
pumping of the water from Paugh pond
does not give satisfaction to a large major
ity of our prominent citizens and manu-
facturers, who recommend, as do the water
commissioners and Engineer Bishop, the
placing of pumping station at Muddy
river. There seems to be general desire
that another special meeting be called and
further discuss the question and rescind
| the vote. A petition is being circulated
for that purpose and will be presented to
the board Of burgesses for action. It is
proposed to have fair vote on the ques-
ton and have only those vote who are
legally entitled to do so. And
that the gallery be kept clear of the ele-
ment that went 80 far as to make the re-
cent meeting q disgrace to the borough.
The understanding should be that the pub
lie gathering of the citizens is to be
business meeting and not q circus. It is
believed that if rising vote had been
called for at the Wednesday evenings
meeting the result would have been differ
ont.
The republicans met Ia caucus last even
ing and in q business-like manner nomi-
mated candidates for representatives. AL
mer I. Martin was unanimously nominated
for first representative and Henry Schwab
of Yalesville chosen in like manner. A.

the borough and is popular will all classes,
is q young man employed at g. I. Mix &
Co.'s works in YAlesville and is we'll known
! and greatly respected for his many sterling
/ qualities. The ticket is an unexceptional.
ly strong one, and can be relied upon to
show up well when the votes are counted
7 next Tuesday. After the caucus the re-
publicans adjourned to the club rooms iI
Wallace block, where q business meeting
was held, interspersed with wit and wis
3 dom from Judge Hubbard and other prom
