Il Thoro will not be any question as to
tho legality Of tho meeting Of the Board
Of Aldermen tonight, for each member
has been served with q notice OF the
called session by Auditor IL M. Nuli-
silnlly. Tho session was called for sat
furday night, but on account Of the 1 '1Ss
that tho notices were not properly server r
by tho janttor Of the city the members lem
hesitatcd to net, fearing that some on, one
would tnke advantage Of the technicallty,
ana c,nin thnt tho business transacted
was not legal. y ,s3 IS K !.
~ John Priddy, tho jnnitor of the Coun-
Gil, was IN Police Court Saturday 1norrr
ling, charged with being drunk. ClerK
Nunnnlly placed the notices In the hands
Of tho son Of Priddy and part Of them
were served and the other part Wero
kent, Seven members out of tho eight
elected attended tho meeting, however,
having read Ii, the papers that tierc
would he Il called meeting. t g
8S The question to be considered to-nlgnt
will be whether or not the Roberts Eli y
tcrinE Company, Of Philadelphia which
has guaranteed to build the new clear q
water plant and furnish a bond for five
years, Is to be allowed to file q one-year
bond, and to renew this bond annually
~ There will certainly beG one Alderman
to- ask what guarantee tho citytiwill
have, after the plant Is built, that tue
company will annually guarantee this
bond. Tho plant cnn be built I'M ono
year and the company will have nrs,'
ceived Its money for building It, Then,
in the opinion of some, If the company
puts UP tho other bond It will be IN
t1,oY> n "a
those Who say that President Roberts,
OF the company, will give q collateral
bond !: that the guarantee bond will be
annually renewed.
Fourteenth Street Flooded. u
Fourteenth Street yesterday could not
he crossed for two squares. Between
Perry Street and Dnnbr aEtltgs Street It
was impossible to cross the thoroughfare
without wuding into water at least SIX
inches deep. 9yS
It is this way every time It rains. A
few months ago the street car company
raised the tracks at Fourteenth and
Perry Streets, and this helped a little,
but from Perry Street to Hull Street
the water rushed down Fourteenth
Street In q great volume. The sewer
at Fourteenth and Hull Streets Is not
large enough to carry off the volume
OF water, ana stHe &ClLl1eIlS III tlo VlclitlIS
are complaining. Ii
The City Was Quiet.
Not an arrest was made in Manchester
yesterday or Saturday might The police
believe that this Is n great record ami
are proud Of 1t. Perfect order reigned
during Saturday night and on Sunday.
II The fact that no bar-rooms or clubs
are allowed To keep open on Sundays in
Manchester very probably accounts for
the order that prevails IN the city.
