News of Interest.

-Four members of the borough coun-
Gil, Messrs. McAlllster, Payton, Ward
and Mclaughlin, were present when
the meeting was called to order last
evening in the borough building. The
usual reports from committees were
called for, and, with the exception of
fire committee, all reported progress.
Mr.. Ward, as chairman of the cleo
trio light committee, reported that the
electric light on the corner of Walnut
and Chestnut streets should be re-
moved to the opposite side of the
street The electric light company
was instructed to make the necessary
change. The old question of paying
for the horses of the fire companies
was again brought before the MEM
bers and the bills of sale of the
teams owned by the Neptune, Inde-
pendent and Electric fire companies
We're read.
The amounts were as follows: Nep-
tunes team, harness, wagon, etc, $545;
independents team, lumber wagon,
harness and extras, $435; Electric Fire
company's team and belongings, $465.
hot discussion resulted before the
vote on the acceptance of the bills was
called for, but finally on the call of
names, Chairman McAllister. Messrs.
Payton, Ward and McAllister voted
for the acceptance and Mr.. McLough-
lin voted against.
After the declaration by the chair
man that the horses were bought,
Street Commissioner Mcdonnell made
some very emphatic remarks, saying
it was shame. Burgess Burschell
quickly replied in words that were
very much to the point and resulted
in creating silence on this much de-
bated question. The fire companies
are now relieved from the burden of
supporting the teams, which has been
a cause of considerable friction during
the past years.
The report of Burgess Burschell for
the month of June was next read and
showed that IS in fines had been re-
Ceived. The following permanent men
were appointed by the burgess: Inde-
pendent Fire company, Albert Will
liams, salary, $50 per month; Neptune
Fire company, George Seese, salary
$50; Electric Fire company, Philip
Wagnes, salary, $50. Several commu-
nications were read, after which coun-
Gil adjourned.
