ONLY TWO MORE MEETINGS.
Councils to Endeavor to Clear Up
the Files.

There are now only two more regular
meetings left for each branch of coun.
ellis before the annual reorganization
on April :. In accordance, therefore.
with established precedent, II is very
probable that a number of extra meet
ings will be called for the purpose Of
clearing UP the files as far as possible
for every ordinance on the files not
passed at the time of reorganization
becomes null and void. and if 1t is de-
sired to have them passed they must
be re-introduccd and go through the
three readings before the new councils.
A number of ordinances now pend.
ing will, of course, be allowed TO go by
default as to pass them now would be
impossible on account OF lack of APP.
propriations and for other reasons.
Among these might be mentioned the
ordinances providing for tho purchase
of new fire engine and other similar
measures
There are. however. sufficient per-
manent men and electric light ordin.
ances on hand to keep their promoters
on the hop for the next month to get
them passed. 1t Is very unlikely that
any more important measures will be
introduced between now end April 2.

WAsHINGToN's BIRTHDAY.
There Was No General Observance
of the Day.

The observance of Washngton's
birthday in this city yesterday was not
marked by an especial outward demon
stration, indeed the casual observer
might have been led to believe that the
people of the Electric City" hadn't
much respect for the Father of his
Country.
All of the stores in the central city
We're as wide OPEN as some people
are mean enough to say the town is,
and business was just as brisk as on
ordinary days. There We're matinee
performances at all Of the theatres in
the afternoon and they We're in all in
stances very well attended. A conspic-
uous feature of the day was the alb
sence of a general flag display. only Il
few national emblems here and there
being visible.
The Delaware and Hudson and Della :
ware. Lackawanna and Western COM
panies' cOllieries were all closed as was
the Dickson works. The steel mills,
car shops, bolt and nut works and ali
the other large industries were run
ming full time all day.
