FAVORED INVESTIGATION.

There were a few supporters OF the
accused officials present, but the large
majority seemed to favor the investi-
eating committee and its report. All
of the report, with the exception of the
clauses protesting against the increase
in the tax levy and accusing certain
councilmen of securing rake-offs on
hose, was adopted after much discus
sion and general debate.
The committee was continued, and
the members will meet again early this
week to finally shape their plans. The
officials of several of the big corpor-
ations owning property and paying
taxes in the borough, notably the Della :
ware and Hudson company. have noti-
fled the committee that they will rem
der all the assistance possible in bring
ing the alleged guilty officials to JUS
tiCe.
The charge which will be made
against the burgess will be that he ha S
appropriated to his own use fines and
costs collected by him and that he has
failed to make monthly return to the
treasurer OF such moneys. The COM
mittee has been informed by City
Solicitor George Watson, of this city,
tndt tne burgess mas no TlSnt or au-
thority, under the law, to keep any
costs imposed by him and that he is
also liable to arrest and impeachment
for failing to make a monthly return TO
the borough treasurer.
The burgess has always maintained
that the costs collected by him are his
just and lawful perquisitles, but Solic-
tor Watson differs with him and holds
that he has no right to keep any costs
as he is paid yearly salary by the
borough.
LIABLE TO ARREST.
The members of the committee have
also been informed by legal authori-
ties that each and every member of
the council has rendered himself liable
TO arrest for levying during the last
two years a special tax for the crea-
| ton of sinking fund and then using
the money collected for other purposes

Prospects for the road to + len are
bright, in fact the road is a necessity
to the profitable working of the mines
and will be built in the near future.
Morrisville is the natural and logical
starting point for such a road and if
the town will do its share-as it no
doubt will-there will be no further
question on that point. 1t is agreed
by all interested that the road should
be built by stock company, inde-
pendent of any mining company or
companies. The forming of a com.
pany of this kind will take time, and
may delay matters more than is an
ticipated but the plans are to begin
the work of construction this season.
The route, as mapped out by the
recent survey, will run from the camp
ground through Centerville and North
aTde Perx. fsIa proposed provid.
ed the road is built according 20 the
above plans-to run twoeIT-Si ~ each
way daily, making connections witt
mail and passengers trains on tn
st. J. & L. c. road, and giving tn
people time to transact business il
this place between each train.
