A special meeting of the Borough Council |
was held in the Council chamber last even
ing. The members present were: President
Mcclure, Kane, Boehm, McElhenny, Thomas
J. James, Straughn, David r. James, Gable,
Kems and Hand Borough Solicitor j. II.
Pomeroy and A. W. SchalcS, Esq, of Potts
vile, were also in attendance The latter
were in consultation with the water COM
mttee previous to the meeting of the Council
presumably for the purpose of adjusting the
claim of Quinn & Kems, the contractors who
built the works.
The meeting of the Council was a short
one, although the business transacted was of
considerable Importance
! Mr.. A, d. Gable, chairman of the water
committee, stated that several days ago the
officials of the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Company made application to
the committee for the purpose of securing
water from the borough works. The officials
stated that their supply had been shut
off from the Mahanoy City works. and that
in order to keep the collieries in operation it
was necessary to secure water from another
source, and therefore made application to the
/ borough for that purpose. They intimated
that if they failed in this respect it would
probably be necessary to shut down the
