FOR HOME INDUSTRY.
Councilmen Object TO Purchase oil
Supplies from Scranton Merchants.

The select council held their regular
meeting on Monday evening There
were present Messrs. McNulty, Delts,
Nealon, Swigert, Gilhool and Eaton.
A large number of bills were ordered
paid; also several that have been ap-
proved by the common council. Mr..
Nealon earneBtly protested against
the bill for furniture for the police
which was purchased at Scranton. since
IL was not desirable to 60 out of the
city for SUPPLIES for the municipal build
ing. It appeared, however, that the
local dealers were not able to sup
ply the required articles, and
therefore the city clerk had Civ
en- an order for their purchase
elsewhere. The bill was ordered paid.
Several reports from the street com
mittee were favorably reported,and the
recommendations adopted.
The fire committee recommended that
the nomination of p. F. Motfit for hre
chief be confirmed. The resolution was
referred to the city solicitor for an
opinion as to it's legality, since the or
dinance provided for an election by the
councils in joint session. Several mat
ters of interest were considered ano
some valuable suggestions were made

IMPROVEMENTS AT WILSON CREEK

A large number of men have been at
work widening the gangway and lay
ing switch at the Wilson Creek mine.
1t is now so arranged that the air
motor can pass the cars. On Saturday
evening the work was completed so that
the motor pulled a trip of twenty
seven loaded cars from the farther end
of the mine. 1t is said that extensive
Improvements are contemplated in the
Coalbrook breaker. There is need of
enlargement so that more coal can be
handled. 1t is thought that an open
ing into the Coalbrook mine may be
made from No. s, so that the coal will
go through the Coalbrook breaker. The
No. 8 mine now extends nearly to
Mountain lake. so that the arrange
ment will save much labor as the coal
would have to be handled but once
and not be carried to No. breaker on
the gravity, to be screened. Several of
the officers have been looking over the
ground to find the hest place for the
proposed opening.
