Board of Burgeszes Fail to Get a
Quorum-Funeral of MRS. Recroft-
Rate Book for 1893 Completed
General News.
The board of burgesses failed to get
together quorum last evening and ad-
journed until this evening. There was
considerable important business that
would have been brought up, one principal
matter was the necessity of the board
taking some action on the matter of the
petition presented to the legislature by T.
q. Mackenzie, aud others. asking for
charter for the purpose of supplying
Yalesville with water. Judge Hubbard
has at last secured a copy of the
bill in question, which asks for many
privileges that in the judgment of many
of our prominent citizens, who are inter-
ested in the welfare of the borough, are
satisfied that would interfere with the
rights of the residents of the borough re-
speeting water supplies that will undoubt-
eddy be realized at some future date. At
a meeting of the manufacturers and other
citjzsns held Monday evening the subject
was discussed, and it was decided to OPP
pose the matter in the legislature. The
sections that are most important are as
follows:
Section z. Said company shall have full power
and is hereby authorized and empowered to
open the grounds in any streets, lanes, avenues
