He said each man was under 5000 bail for

ment.
The argument as to what should be done in
the case precipitated the second lively dis
cussion of the evening. A motion that the
action of the committee be sanctioned and
the case be pushed to court failed.
1t was argued by some that it would be
cheaper for the Council to have the borough
be withdrawn on condition that the costs and
fines prescribed be paid was finally carried.
Mr. Gable made brief report of the
Councilmanio tour on Tuesday afternoon and
said several places were found in bad sanitary
condition. 800 West Lloyd street, he said
was place Tor special attention.
A lengthy discussion followed in connection
with the West Centre street sewerage line
Mr.. Gable wanted the parties who are having
the work done to extend the line from the
place originally fixed as the outlet to the
Kohinoor creek. Mr. Bradigan said there
would be no objection to doing that providing
the borough would pay for the extension and
keep it in repair. After a lively discussion,
consuming nearly an hour, the matter was
laid on the table until next meeting.
Mr.. Gable then moved that the owners of
the sewer line on the alley running west
from West street. between Lloyd and Coal
streets, be directed to extend it to the
Kohinoor creek. The motion was carried.
On motion of Mr.. Gable the finance COM
mittee was instructed to select a design for
the water bonds and have them printed.
Mr.. Kane said pavement on White street,
above Lloyd, was in bad condition and a
place on Plum alley, north of Lloyd street,
required the attention of the sanitary COM
mittee.
Complaint was made about nuisance ex.
listing on the Chalmers property at the west
end of Centre street and the sanitary COM
mittee was instructed to give the matter at
tention.
The committee appointed to audit the &C.
counts of the joint committee on water
works reported progress.
Mr.. James reported that the water COM
mittee had decided to recommend the en-
ployment of A. J. Womelsdorf, of Pottsville,
as supervising engineer of the new water
works. Mr.. Womelsdorf agreed to do the
work for three per cent. of the cost. 1t was
decided that that the employment be made,
that Mr.. Womelsdorf be notified to meet the
water committee on Saturday, and that
Quinn & Kerns, the contractors, be notified
to proceed with the work.
Messrs. james and Lamb objected to the
latter action. They said it was rushing
things too fast; that there was no money on
hand for the work and would not be until
some of the bonds could be sold.
Mr. Gallagher said the finance committee
could be authorized to negotiate loan and
Mr.. Gable said the project ought to be pushed
or dropped.
Mr.. Mcclure moved that the finance com.
mittee be empowered to borrow $4,000 il
necessary to pay expenses that may arise.
M. James questioned the right of Council
to negotiate such loan, but in reply to a
question Solicitor Pomeroy said it could be
done and the motion was carried.
T. W. Grant was granted an order fol
81, 900 on account of the street paving con

A bill of NJ. E. Doyle for $500 was referred
to the water committee for Investigation. Mr.

as secretary of that committee.

Ne,0s and during discussion ON it Mr.. Doyle
became very warm. He made reference to
! NJ. Z. DOyle's bill and said there wasn't g
Councilman in the room who had brains
enough to fill the position of secretary. Mr.
Gable locked horns with him and both meI
were on their feet when Chairman Betteridg,
raped for order and said he would have Mr.
Doyle removed if he did not become quiet
and thus the third warm argument of the
evening ended.
The Supervisors report was then read ant
the fourth battle followed. Mr. Gable
claimed that the Supervisor had credited one
man with two days work instead of one and
that he was not treating some men who wert
breaking stone for the streets fairly.
Supervisor Llewellyn replied warmly. H,
admitted that he had possibly made mistake
in keeping the time, but denied the other ao
cusation. He and Mr.. Gable entered into q
warm exchange of words which the chair
man terminated by repeatedly rapping 70
order.
Mr. Gable was mOmentarily quiet and thel
jumped up and said there was something
wrong in connection with the supervisorship
There is clique and some of the member
of this Council are in it, ne said.
Mr. Lamb jumped up and wanted MI
Gable to name the Councilmen. The charge
he said, was a reflection upon the who'll
