CENTRAL CITY.

From the Nonpareil.
Harlow Reed, an old settler OF this
county, died at tho homo Of his son. H.
NJ. Reed, near Crawford, Friday. The
body was brought here for burial and
the funeral services were conducted at
the Methodist church Saturday after
noon.

were in town Tuesday, the latter having
come up to consult physicians concern
ing his health which is very poor. Mr..
Mason. sr., was in Central City when it
consisted of nothing but the depot and
one other building and has seen the
town grow from that unpromising b.
ginning to it, present proportions.
As was anticipated in many quarters
Messrs. Jenkins and Forrest, the gentle
men who negotiated for the electric
light franchise, failed to meet the 70
Quirements OF tho ordinance and did not
show up within the ninety days. No ex-
PLANTATION has been received ~ to why
they concluded to allow the franchise
to lapse but it is the general opinion
that they were only promoters and were
unable to raise the necessary capital.
1t has been limited that the gas company
might have induced them to lot the
franchise lapse but Manager Blake Of
the latter company states emphatically
that such an inference is unwsrranted
as his company has had no negotiations
any nature with either Mr.. Jenkins or
Mr.. Forrest.

The board of warden and burgesses
held an adjourned meeting last night
the main purpose of which was to
take proper steps toward securing
a suitable site for a hose house, but
the meeting was ended quite abrupt
ly. The board was ready to take up
for consideration the various sites
recommended by the committee when
Burgess Stahl broke in by saying
that he wished to offer one more spot
which he thought would be an ideal
site for the hose house, and then he
mentioned the lot between the Office
of the G. l. R. Glove company and
the WhittemCHe building on Maple
street. There was a dead silence for
a few minutes which was broken by
Burgess Freeman asking how much
it would cost, but this information
could not be given until Mr. Schaeffer
has had talk with Mr. Sawyer of
New York city, but again Burgess
Freeman said that he didn't think
that the board should delay about
this matter, but the members were
not inclined to hurry so the matter
went over until the next meeting,
when the board will be informed as
to the price of the lot which is
60x160 feet. The report of the
borough treasurer was read and ap-
proved. Mrs James Walsh of Cor
man street appeared before the board
and asked that she be granted more
time in which to pay her sewer as
sessment, which amounts to $3.50 and
which is due and payable March IA,
1908, after which date per cent in
terest will be added. The board vot-
ed to let the matter stand rs at pres
ent and when the proper time ar
rives the charging will be deferred
On the petition of Mrs Donnelly of
Walnut street no action was taken as
she can no longer use the private
sewers with which her houses are
connected and as she will then have
to connect with the sanitary sewer it
was thought best that no action be
taken. The board then adjourned
until Tuesday evening, February 25
so as to allow some of the members
of the board to attend the Business
Mems banquet next Tuesday night,
