| The campaign just closed has been the
hottest fought in the borough for many
years and never before did the clouds of
uncertainty gather SO thick about the o.
ganizstion of Council and the appointment
of supervisor, police and other officials
1t is not, surprising that so many people
have within the past two or three weeks
expressed the opinion that it is time the
borough have some other form of govern
ment by which the affairs of the place will
not be brought to stsndstill to give the
officials time to put up fences and secure
berths for themselves, relative1 and friends
The Council room was thronged with
spectators last night so that there was barely
room for the officials, aud it wac only by
strict orders that the onlookers were pt
from crawling over the railing into the

men and reporters.
The meeting was called for o'clock, but
the tardiness of Councilman Van Dusen
delayed business for forty minutes.
After the old Council was declared
adjourned sine die, Lamb was made tenn :

Mcclure, who had been reported during
the afternoon as having deserted the Lamb
Gable-James combine, voted tor James, an
indication that he had made up his mind
to dump the other combine and Jump back
| to the first one he was interested in, If
his change of heart surprised any of the
Counclmen they did not give any indica-
tons of it. There was smile or two, and
that was all.
