There was big batch of bills on the secre-
tarys table and Council had but 81, 100 to

A bill for Ss7 IS for work done on the pro-
posed new storage reservoir at Brandonville
was read.
Mr.. James objected to the payment of the
bill, on the ground that he wanted the advice
of the Borough Solicitor, who had stated that
the expense for the proposed reservoir could
be betrayed only from current revenue.
Mr.. Straughn said he objected to the bill
until the Solicitors written opinion could he
secured. He said he believed the bill should
be paid, and the men should receive their
money, but it was II case in which Council
should go by the advice of the Solicitor. If
he says the bill is legal, they will be paid.
Mr.. Coakley said he fully agreed with the
remarks of Mr.. Straughn and would oppose
payment at this time. 1t was decided that
all bills in connection with the reservoir be
referred to the Solicitor.
