horse from injuries received In the
borough roads was referred 60 the bor-
ough attorney for adjustment and a
claim of T. r. McDe1nott for $40 for
lumber was laid over for investigation
as was also one Of ex-Constable Lotus
for costs. Tax Collector Philbin made
a final settlement OF his accounts and
an order was drawn for the amount
due him. Burgess Langan, who was
present, called the attention of the
council to several important matters.
First to the number of unemployed
girls and boys here. He asked the
council to help the board of trade In an
effort to bring industries here, also
recommended the doing of more per-
manent work ON the roads and asked
the council for their assistance In
holding the Traction company to the
terms OF its ordinance. The members
assured him that they would cooper
ate with him as far az they can. The
matter Of road work came in for a
great deal of consideration and II was
finally decided TO stop work on July
is, a resolution having been offered
by Mr.. Dean for that purpose. An or
dinance was also introduced providing
for the muzzling OF dogs during the
lI
ond reading. Mr.. Jones introduced an
ordinance intended to compel the Trac-
tion company to place tenders on their
cars and II passed two readings. An
ordinance compelling bicyclists to car
| ~ lighted lamps on their wheels after
| dark and limiting their speed to 8
miles an hour, with penalties, passed
| two readings, and a resolution pro-
viding for the closing of barber shops
and other business place on Sunday
was adopted. The Introduction of this
| resolution caused a general discussion
on the closing of saloons on Sunday
and the council was united in its in
| tention TO strictly enforce the law.
The burgess was directed to use all
his power in the matter and he was
promised the support of the council.
Burgess Langan assured the council
that he would do his duty and he
generally means what he. says. Con-
tractor Spillane asked for a settle
ment of his account with the borough
for the building of the foot bridge but
was not satisfied with the amount Of
fered, so his difficulty is still open. The
council then adjourned until some
evening next week, to be announced
later.
1t is pleasing to note an Improvement
in the councils method Of doing busi-
ness, as illustrated in Mondays meet
ing. Heretofore about two-thirds OF
the time of the council was consumed
in useless talk, but the last meeting
was q notable exception to the rule,
Business was done with neatness and
despatch. The discussions were right
to the point. There were no exhibit
tions of personal enmity and every
thing was done in "a business-like man.
ner. The burgess is taking a commend
able interest in the work of the council
and his advice and experiences has
been of considerable value to them
burgess Langan evidently realizes
what is expected of him and it is
hopeful to note that the high anticipa'
tions Of the people who elected him
are being realized. Everyone interest
ed In the welfare of the borough will
hope that the good work of the bur-
CESS and the council will long con-
tinue.
