 1 The adjourned meeting of the board of warden and burgesses was held in l the borough court room. 1.1l the bur- gesses were present, excepting Bur gess Schofield, but he came in before the meeting closed Bids were re- ceived for the laying of storm sewer | on Hill and Maple streets and the | contract was awarded, to George H. l Johnson, and the warden was author ized to sign the contract and approve the bond, which was placed at $1,O00. The plans submitted of the retaining wall in foront of w. H. aIcCarthy's property on South Main street. were approved. Attorney Kennedy appear ed tcfore the board ind requested them to notify him if they intended to do anything regarding the revolving of the license of H. Marcus, junk deal- CT. It was voted to notify him if anything was to be done about it. Things went along nicely until it came to the appointing of sewer in spector and Burgess Freeman said: "Gentiemen, I don't think that this board has any right under the charter to appoint anyone to an office of this kind. I feel that l am posted well enough on the matters of this kind and think that if an injunction was placed on this board thar we would show that we exceeded our p3wfr.' He continued, T know that this office has existed before now, still I have always believed that it could not be legally held by anyone, us the char ter distinctly states what offices shall be filled by the borough board" It was shown by the way the other D'em- bers acted that they agreed with Mir Freeman on the permit Finally Bur gess Schotield, who came in short time before, moved that they proceed to ballot for sewer inspector. When the vote was put, it was found that only two republicans had voted in favor of the motion and the three democrats had voted against it. The warden declared the motion lost. Then Burgess Isbell moved that c. E. Tuck CT be engaged as sewer inspector for the Johnson sanitary sewer job, anu this vote was carried without oppo- sition, thus showing that the board was in favor of engaging someone to inspect the laying of each sewer, while at the same time not creating the office of sewer inspector. Attention was also called to the nuisance cans- ed by sewer pipe that empties under the east end of the bridge and the warden said that he would notify the helth officer. An adjournment was then taken for two weeks.
 Cleaning Up the Eye Sore.
 The superintendent of streets has put men at work cleaning up the place under the east end of Center bridge This spot has for some time past caused more or less commenting on the wisdom of allowing the Maple street sewer to empty at this point, wheie so many people pass each day. At the time of the laying of the Main streeq sewer it was thought that con nections would be made so that rc sewerage would empty into the river at this point. But the Main street sewer has no outlet and the sewerage still ampties in the same place. and many have said that something should be done so that the Main street and Maple street sewers could be connected and an outlet made in the Main street sewer anl thus do away with all the trouble that is | caused from time to time by the sew craze being disposed of under Gen. ter bridge.
