JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.

The Mayfeld council held their monthly
meeting Monday evening. Considerable
time was spent in discussing the question
of who were to keep the arc lights in
repair. After the secretary had read the
contract with the electric light company
1t was thought the company are by the
terms of the contract required to repair
the lamps and a committee was instruct
cd to inform the electric light company
of the fact. The councils attention was
called to the fact that the culm is again
filling in the bed of Mother Hard's creek.
After much discussion on this question
it was decided that the council should
investigate the matter. The Chestnut
street bridge was reported to be in a very
unsafe condition. Councilman Slantha
asked to have culvert opened UP on
Maple street, between the Delaware and
Hudson railroad and Hill street, to carry
the water away. Council would not con-
sent to have the work done as the street
has not been accepted by the borough
The board of health reported Maple street
to be in very unsanitary condition as
"A result of the cows running at large
in that vicinity. Health officer DR.. Hard
ing suggested that the council take some
action to abate the nuisance. Council
was of the opinion that it was matter
that should be attended to by the resi-
dents of that street and not by the coun-
Gil. Theodore Wachna was elected to fill
the vacancy on the board of health.
