OLNEYVILLE.
Tonights Council Meeting TO Be a
Busy One.
Some Matters That VIII Come Up-Irouble
on Tr0l cy Car.

most exciting ever helu I'D tne toWh, anu
the shances are that any one who enters
the hall after the clock strikes Will
have 10 stand up
The docket Il. a long one and will be re-
plets with wit humor, business and some
sharp fighting, for there Is already quite
Q sufficient an ount of work TO be brought
TO the attention CT the councilman 10
keep them in their seats until long after
midnight.
General John NJ. Brennan will appear
before the Council in behalf OF one or
more owners Of the buildings that have
been attacked by persons supposed to DO
In the employ Of the. town, and ask for
$50. OOO, which, of course, won't be handed
10 him on the spot
A delegation from ths Rough and
Ready Fire Company will furnish the
comedy part, for they want the Town
Council to warm the waiting room at
the engine house, even II they have to do
so by furnishing bushel of coal at
time.
Then the nom bers Of the Enforcement
of the Law League are slated TO prefer
charges against Town Sergeant Hol-
brook, and they will make an effort to
have this portion of the evenings bust
ness private, but il 10 understood that
some OF the mem bers OF the Council OBJ
ject to saving any more star chamber
sessions. and have come TO tho conclusion
that what any citizen has to say must be
said in open meeting.
~ ~ al
will be taken up, for IL is expected that
the counoilmen will be called' upon to
sanction the calling OF a special financial
town meeting.
Stephen A. Olney, who appears to be
nonresident and at the same time con-
stable will probably come in for share
OF the attention OF the members.
1t is very probable that the request to
hold a special finan cial town meeting In
February viii not 10 granted, from the
fact that the. e.town treasurer has admitted
there Is sufficient amount OF cash on
hand to run the town until March, and
fhep Will come the money from liquor
licenses, which amounts TO about $40, 600,
and II this is not enough the treasurer
has power to borrow a sufficient amou mt
20 carry the affairs of the town along for
the balance of the fiscal year. II the
movement Of the Republican committee
10 nave the regular financial town meet
Eng held In March instead Of April Is
successful, all will be well.
