night with President of Council Hamil-
ton in the chair and Councilmen

principal object of the meeting was to
open bids for the contract work on the
west side. A letter was read from At
torney H. HI. Voorhees,, representing
David Wilder, complaining of the
standing water in Park avenue, near
his property. A letter of like nature
was read from Chas. F. Mcclure, and
both were referred to the street COM
mittee and engineer with instructions
to drain off the water. Upon motion
of Mr.. Slaughter the owners of vacant
dots in the west side are to be notified
to cover them with top soil to prevent
the sand blowing, which by reason of
settling on the nearby streets has be-
come cause of annoyance and ex-
pense to the borough. The contract
for the removal of garbage for the
coming year was awarded to James
McLinden at his bid of $1795, his being
the only bid. Bids for the $4,000
worth of work to be done on the west
