This motion was also carried
Mr. Harkins, of the Law committee. said
the Borough Auditors had been notified to
hand in their bills, duly sworn to. The
notice sent them was then read, after which
the bill Of Auditor Ploppert for $50 81, duly
sworn to, was read. The other two Auditors
did not send in atlidavits. Mr.. James objected
to the bill because it did not show the dates
Of service and number of hours for each
date. The bill was referred back for the
particulars stated
Mr.. Lally stated three months trial of the
new Borough Solicitor had shown that he
was worthy Of more than the salary fixed by
Council at the beginning Of the term. Potts
vile, Mahanoy City and Ashland pay their
respective solicitors more than the salary
fixed by the Shenandoah Council Mr. Lally
suggested that the salary be increased from
$3.50 to Si0O a year and Mr.. Englert made
a motion to that effect. MI. James
objected that motion was placed On the
minutes at the beginning of the term that no
salaries should be increased. He thought it
would be setting bad precedent. President
