In the absence of President Nealon
Mr. Reap was chosen as chairman at
Monday nights meeting of council.
Many important matters came up for
consideration. The Scranton Railway
company. the Olyphant Water COM
pany and the Sewer company came In
for their share of attention. A large
number of bills were passed for pay
ment while several were held up for
investigation. Among the latter was
bill from the Olyphant Water COM
pany for $25 for water used at the
public fountain. 1t was the opinion
of the councilmen that when the foun-
tain was erected that the company
agreed TO furnish the water gratis,
The matter was referred to a COM

thought they We're being overcharged

ance committee was appointed at the

committee reported that the affairs at
the electric plant were run rather
loosely, and that some of the employees
were neglecting their duties. A heat
ed discussion followed. Some of the
members claimed that Engineer Dearie
was negligent, while others contended
