The electric light question is now agita-
ting the borough, and heated discussions
both for and against the project are OF
ever; day occurrence. Although signers for
oue-tourth of the amount of taxable prop
whether it should be f0isted upon the
borough at this time. The waterworks
have not been success, so far as the
quality of water is concerned, or in the
amount of revenue raised therefrom, as
compared with the expenses and interest
on water bond. The water rent at no time
since the start have been able to meet the
interest on the bonds, let alone the running
expenses of the works. The time is not
far distant when the borough will have To
have a sewerage system, and better streets
must come sooner or later. The writer
thinks that the project of the borough
owning and running az electric light plant
should be defeated, as it seems that the
borough needs the necessities of better
streets aud sewerage system before we
have the luxury Of electric lights. 1t looks
now as though the project would be
carried, as those that do not have any
thing but poll taxes to pay, will vote il
favor Of the electric system.

The Charter Election.

In conformity to the provisions of our
Charter the annual Town Meeting was
held here last Tuesday The weather was
about as dsagreeable as the weather man
could make it, consequently the vote was
light, but one party suffered about as
seriously as the other on that account. The
contest was really on Counciimen, and the
scrascher was abroad in all three wards,
