Gaffigau, James, Lamb, Gallagher and Nc.
Guire, Mr. James acting as chairman of the
evening.
The object of the meeting was to consider
some suggestions made by Civil Engineer
Womelsdorf of Pottsville, who has been en-
ployed to supervise the construction of the
works for the borough. The suggestions
came from Mr. Womesdorf and we're that the
Council give him the power to act as repre-.
sentative of the Council in the work; that
more specifications be furnished; that some.
thing be done to settle question about the
be given authority to order the pumps, and
that Council prepare to pay bills on June
30.h.
Mr.. Scheify thought the matters should be
left in the hands of the water committee un
less Council wished to organize as a commit
tee of the whole, but Mr.. James ruled that
such action was not necessary.
Mr. Coakley said if Mr.. Womelsdorf's in
tention was to have Council make him gen
eral manager and superintendent of the
water works he would object as the engineer
had only been employed to look after the
work of the contractors.
Mr. Gable said the idea was that in case
MIR. Womelsdorf should see anything going
wrong in the work of the contractors he
should have power to rectify it without call
ing meeting of Council 1t was not in
tended that the engineer should have power
to alter or make new contracts, or incur any
additional expenses. Mr.. Gable followed up
his statement with motion that Mr.. Womels.
the specifications and see that they carry
them out, and in case any changes are de
sired hemust first report them to Council
The motion was carried.
Mr.. Gable explained the matter in relation
to the pipe by saying that the bid of Mr..
Rooms provided for 14'inch pipe and that of
Quinn s. Kerns for for IL inch pipe. When
the latter were awarded the contract the
figures IA" were scratched in the specifica-
tiOns and "12' substituted Mr.. Lamb con-
firmed Mr. Cables statement and said the
change was made before the contract was
signed.
The question Of ordering the pump for the
works was next taken up and Mr.. Morris, of
Jeanesville, said it would take six months to
make the pump.
Mr.. Betteridge moved that the Jeanesville
Iron Works Company be authorized to pro-
ceed with work on the pump and finish it as
soon as possible.
Mr.. scheihy amended that MIR. Womelsdorf
be empowered to order the pump when he
thinks it is necessary.
After lively debate the amendment was
Messrs. Gable, Gallagher and
Betteridge voting against it.
In considering the recommendation for
payment Of bills incurred in the construction
of the water works Council decided that it
will meet on the second Tuesday of every
month to consider such bills.
Mr. James then called attention of Council
to the overlooked request of the P. o. s. of
A. joint committee for permission to ring the
fire bell on the morning of the Fourth of
July. The request was granted.

THE BNOAMPMBNT.

To Select Lakeside Would be a wis,
Action.
There should be little difficulty in those
who have authority to act in the matter
reaching the conclusion that Lakeside is
the place at which the encampment
should be held. 1t is more convenient
than any other and has an abunda It
supply of water for drinking, cooking
and bathing purposes. The grounds for
manGuvers and camping are extensive, and
in addition to their excellent facilities they
are convenient to all the large towns of this
and adjoining counties. AS most of the COM
panies of the regiment for which the encamp
ment is intended are within Schuylkll
county and as few people within its borders
have had the pleasure of visiting such an en-
campment it is quite evident that Lakeside
should be selected.

The daily press furnishes the information
that the decree has gone forth from the lead
ing divines of the Methodist church, which
numbers 100000 members, that the fol.
lowers of that denomination will boycott the
Worlds Fair. The reason given is that the
authorities have decided to open the exposl.
tion on Sundays. Bishop Merrill says the
exhibits Of that church will be withdrawn.
and that millions of Methodists the world
over will cease to patronize the Fair. He
further says; "The Methodist church will

ing Railroad Company refused to take any
steps toward extending the time for the as
sents to the plan. Through this action of
the board, in view of the fact that the
requisite percentage of bonds and stock did
not assent the plan has finally been aban.
doned.
An authority says "The failure the of
Reading bondholders to come into the plan
releases absolutely the syndicate from further
responsibility, and, so far as the support Of
the present syndicate goes, the plan is a fail
ure. Somebody will have to put their hands
into their pockets and take care of certain
collateral in loans in order to save important
lateral roads in the Reading system and to
meet the July interest.
Under the conditions attached to the
plan the assent of the holders Of $41, 1928,
900 general mortgage bonds and 490, 424
shares of stock TO certain of its provisions
was required, while the total amount as
sented during the time the plan was before
the public was only $3l 1856, 900 bonds and
III ,2lS shares of stock Thus the assents
were short of the amount required by $40,
472, 900 bonds and 80, 206 shares of stock

board had no recourse but to abandon the

the present figures indicate.

4,793, but "A small fraction less than 5000.

to predict that by four o'clock Saturday

for Philadelphia millionaire. 1t is about two
feet above the floor, and the head board is
not more than foot higher than the foot-rest.
No wood work is visible. Glowing plush of
finest quality covers soft yielding cushion
secured in place where in other beds is
polished mahogany or walnut. Instead ui
the spread for the make up bed a sumptuous
square of plush is used. The spread hangs
over the sides, a valance that reaches the
floor finishing the sumptuous effect. The
square is elaborateIy embroidered in fest ons
and bow knots of cream white satin, outlined
with gold cord. The valance is bordered
with deep fringe and is embroidered in the
spread pattern. The canopy of this elegant
resting place is of plush, lined with cream
satin and embroidered to match the spread.
