man. l was opposed to it on the
start to spend so much money for a
few people. There should not be
any waste of money. Let someone
build it that undertands it. - He was
sorry to hear so much useless talk
over it.
Mr.. Harrington, who owns houses
in Frog Hollow" was granted the
floor. He stated that the water from
the hills, better known as the
50 Heights, flowed down during every
storm and washed four or five feet of
sand into the cellar. Some discussion
followed. The Mayor said that this
was the first time that he had heard
of it and asked the street committee
to look after it at once.
Inspector Of the Board Of Health,
Buckalew, stated that there were sew
eral ponds caused by improper, drain
age very near Tompkin's Home. As
this was borough property, he wanted
to know if the borough Council would
fill up the holes and bury the dogs
and cats that are in them and see that
proper drainage was arranged for it,
or would the Board of Health have to
take it up? The street committee will
examine the places and report to the
Council.
Renewal of license was granted to
Fiscler and Levowitz and O. Fl.
Emory.
The clerk stated that he had So in
his possession and wanted to know

COUNCILMAN HILLMAN
OBJECTED TO BILLS.
Thought Borough Was not Getting
Enough for the Money it Was
Putting Out.

The regular meeting of the borough
council was held at Borough Hall
Tuesday night. Present, Mayor,
Councilmen Haines, Hillman, Gordon
and Gallagher and Clerk Birmingham.
Communication from the M. and s.
Traction Company stating that their
tracks were where the franchise called
for, and they were at loss to see
what the council meant. The com
munication was referred to the COM
mittee on streets.
Communication from the Shirt Fac
tory asking for the free use of the
borough water was referre to the
committee on water.
Bill of Electric Light Company for
March, was held over.
Bill of the Street Commissioner for
two weeks, after considerable argu-
ment was signed by the committee.
At first Councilman Hillman refused
to sign the bill, as it was too heavy
for the amount of work done in the
two weeks. He said that in one place
ninety hours work had been done
where six loads of gravel would have
done the whole business.
1t might make the streets look beau
tiful, especially in front of Mr.. Cam
pions coal yard. There had been no
work done on Stevens avenue, no
work at Mechanicsville on two streets
that needed it badly nor any on Main
street, and why it had not been done
was mystery to him and there was
no necessityv.of SO much work ON any
one street of three blocks.
Councilman Gordon said that it was
a new thing to him and he thought
that the street committee ought to get
together as they used to do in former
times when he was a councilman.
He thought that they should get to-
getber and look over the work done
by the commissioner.
He thought that some of the gravel
should be used on that street and in
talking it over with street commits
sioner Quinlin he had conceded with
him. Former street commissioner
Collins had put some red sand on the
street that made beautiful mess af-
ter every rain. He said that good

President and Party Visit the
Grand Canyon.
A TRIBUTE TO The ROUGH RIDERS
Reception to Members of Old Regi-
ment--A Fifteen Mile Horseback
Ride to a Miners Camp
For Luncheon.

GRAND CANYON. Ariz., May T.
Arizona welcomed President Roosevelt
here yesterday, and the welcome it
gave him was a warm one. A special
train from Flagstaff brought a large
crowd, and people also came in from
the surrounding country on horseback
and in wagons. The presidents train
arrived here at 8 o'clock in the morn
ing, and until it left, at O'Clock in the
evening. he was constantly on the go.
Horses were in waiting at the station
as the train pulled in, and after the
president had greeted a number of
members of his old regiment he mount
ed and took a twelve mile ride. Then
he returned to the hotel, where he
made brief address to the people and
presented diplomas to the graduates of
the Flagstaff school.
1T was from Arizona" said the pres
ident in opening his address, that SO
many gallant men came into the regi-
ment that had the honor to command.
Arizona sent men who won glory on
hard fought fields and men to whom
came a glorious and honorable death
fighting for the flag of their country.
As long as live it will be to me an in
spiration to have served with 'Bucky'
O'Neil." s5
The president also paid a compliment
to Governor Brodie, who was mem
Der of his regiment and who intro
duced him to the audience.
"Arizona," continued the president,
sis one of the regions for which l an
ticipate the most benefit from the wise
action of congress in passing the irri-
cation law. look forward to the eff
fects of irrigation, partly as applied by
the government and still more as APP
piled by individuals, profting by the
experience of the government and pos
sibly with help from it, as being of
greater consequence to this region of
the country in the next fifty years than
other material movement whatsoever.
Speaking of the Grand canyon, the
president said he believed it was abso-
luteIy unparalleled in the world.
II want to ask you to do one thing in
connection with it," he said I'm your
own interest and the interest of all the
county keep this great wonder Of ma
ture Dis it now it. / hope you won't

work was being done on the John
street bulkhead by Quinlin, and that
he has to make good job of it or he
would hear of it in the future.
The mayor said that as Quinlin had
done this on the order of the street
committee, or at least the chairman,
no censure could be placedLon him.
Mr.. Quinlin tried to show Mr.. Hill
man where the necessity was of putt
ing out the money, but he crould not
do it.
Under the head of unfinished bust
ness the communication from Gen.
Truax Post was taken up. The reso-
luton by Haines that $50 be given to
the post was adopted.
Resolution by Mr.. Hillman that $500
be appropriated to pay interest on

Resolution by Mr.. Hillman that
$25 be appropriated to redeem coupons

ceived from Dock Master Martin for
wharfage upon motion was turned
over to collector.
Mr.. Hilllnan requested that the ord
nance for the building of the bulk
head foot of John street be reread.
He said he could not understand
why the bulkhead was not built ac-
cording to the ordinance. He declar-
ed it weuld not stand the pressure of
the water if it was not built with the
double row of piling and filed in be-
tween with stone. He wanted the
council to instruct the street COM
missioner to carry out the ordinance.
The Mayor stated that he had been
under the impression that the stone
lying along the water front by John
street belonged to the borough, but
he had found out that they did not,
but had been placed there by Mr..
Kingham and Mr.. John Sexton and
he hardly thought that they would
be allowed to use them. He had ev-
cry reason to believe that the bulk
head as it was being built would be
substantial.
Mr.. Gordon said that it would cost
s., 600 to build the bulkhead accord
ing to the ordinance and that he
would oppose signing bills He did
MT propose to protect Whitehead s
sand sheds or any two or three indi-
viduals property, but to make the
81, 500 appropriated go as far as it
would. He said it would cost as
much to build the bulkhead as Hill
man wanted it as it would to sewer
every street in town, if not mora.
That rock cost money even if you
could get them in Princeton for moth
ing by having them picked up in the
srteet.
Hillman said that there was no
sense in talking that way, that it
would not cost $5, 600 but that $500
would do it. He said that he could
get rocks from New York from the
subway and all it would cost would
be the freight.
Gordon said that it was the street
committees place to get together and
talk the matter over with the street
comm issioner. AS it was, now they
did not know whether they were at
the start or finish.
Gallagher said, 81 am no bulkhead

Few Of those who talk about the

was ever anything more than a mere
figure of speech. Among the Babylo-
mans tying the knot was part of the
marriage ceremony. There the priest
took thread of the garment of the
bride and another from that of the
bridegroom and tied them into a knot,
which he gave to the bride, thus sym
bolizing the binding nature of the ua-
ion.
