 The borough meeting Monday proved interesting owing to the fact that there were three tickets in the field, and a larger vote than usual was cast. The business meeting fol lowed the closing of the polls. Il was voted to lay the regular mills tax. The article relative to empow- ering the warden and court of bura gesses to make a new contract with the electric light company for street lights brought out some criticism of the service. MT. Patten voiced the sentiment in a query as to whether there is a chance for improvement. MT. Hancock, on behalf of his com pany, stated that the street light ser vice for the past six or eight weeks had improved, and the chances for still greater improvement seemed bright. Warden Leach stated that the contract with the company ex- pired some years ago, and the electric lights had been run on a mutual agreement. There are some dark places that ought to be made light, and MT. Leach stated that there was some difference of opinion as to the best method of doing this, between the court of burgesses and the com pany. It was finally voted to leave it to the burgesses to take up the whole matter, and make an agreement or contract with the company for not more than one year. The ticket nominated at the borough caucus was elected, with the exception of Anthony Adams and O. P. Hodgson for bur- gesses. The result of the election was as follows.
