ARCHIBALD.

The borough council met on Monday
evening and transacted considerable
business. President Jones presided and
all the members were present. Bills
were ordered paid as follows: Street

Citizen, 81; John Garden & Son, $3.50;

lam Dougher, S4 Mrs. James Johnson,
So A. Cawley, SO: NJ. Rupp, 81; G.
Maule, So; Martin Cawley, lumber,
$3.50 The bills for police duty caused
considerable discussion and 1t was lin
ally decided that the council alone
should say when the officers could go on
duty. Two petitions were presented by
residents Of the Third ward and Salem
street in the Second ward, asking for
fireplugs. Mr.. Law of the water COM
pany. was on hand to explain the
amount of pressure furnished by the
company, and the water committee was
directed to confer with him in reference
to the location of the plugs.
The secretary then read a supplement
TO an ordinance of the "Archbald Trac-
ton company" extending the time in
which it's road should be completed to
three years from oct. 10, 1895. Hardly
had il been read when Mr.. Behle Wig
orously opposed the granting of further
privileges without some remuneration
to the borough Ite said he did not be-
lieVe in giving away every street III
| the town and thus create monopoly
that would shut out all competition
and place the borough in the control
of strangers who had little concern 1or
the welfare of the people. III there Is
| any money to be made on this said
| he "I think Archibald borough should
| make If. and this thing of speculating
on it should be stopped" The secretary
| then stated that the company did not
ask for further privileges; that 1t mao
all it needed in the way of streets ano
that the supplement was simply a re-
ouest for an extension of time in which
the road may be completed The re-
nainder of the council seemed to think
that the privileges asked for Woulc
never be taken and promptly passed
the ordinance, Mr.. Behle voting soil
