Gloucester County Democrat., 1909-03-25
PAULSBORO.


Council met in. the chamber on
Tuesday evening. The minutes of
the former special meeting showed
that the borough had accepted the gas
plant, and from now, forever and ever
more.
The Mayor requested the Clerk to
hereafter write only the actual busi-
ness done and not to make any note
of what remarks might be made.
An ordinance was passed making
it unlawful to break the lamps. Also
an ordinance to make it out of order
to either turn or off the gas in the
lamps on the street, and violation
of this means fine Of $40 or 10 days
in Jail.
A communication was read from
and Clarksboro, asking for informa-
ton as to obtaining gas for their
streets and houses, which was order
ed filed for future use.
The following bills were ordered
paid
Samuel Cole, police duty 900
Overseer of Poor Turner. 28.17
Fleck Bros, for tools. .......-.. 66.27
j. j. Griffin, meters. ........... 32.10
Hoskins & CO., stationery. 1880
Councilman Lodge wanted to know
who ordered this stationery and who
got it as no one seems to know any
thing about it ever being ordered.
Mayor: / ordered it and it is for the
Mayors office, and in fact any one
who wishes to use it.
Lodge: The only reason / ask is
because it seems to me to be wrong
way to do business, and / don't like
it.
Jester: believe it would have been
better for it to have come up in the
proper way, but as it is we have it
and had better pay for it.
Lodge: Can Mr.. Johnson be appoint
ed by us?
Mayor: have the appointing power
and Mr.. Johnson came to me and
refused to appoint him and / still am
of that opinion, and | do not intend
to appoint him.
Jester: Mr.. Mayor, Mr.. Johnson is
not asking that now, but the taxpay-
ing citizens are asking it. Yes, the
business men want him to be appoint
ed so he can watch.
Lodge: Now he can be employed to
watch these properties without being
sworn in and given authority to carry
revolver or fire arms.
StineS: The way | look at it is, the
Mayor has appointed his officers and
does not want any more.
Councilman Lodge gave a talk on
Delaware street, and Cooper decided
that he will still have to continue to
ac 1c Iad c,sI cstr fes
for another year at least.
Council adjourned to meet at the
call of the Mayor, when Cooper took
the chair and had motion passed to
make Sam" full fiedged officer, and
with a good prospect of being sworn
in by new member of the school
board who has a warm feeling in his
heart for Sam" and the man who
was going to drink three high balls
and trim the Mayor and Council did
not even show his face.
The Mayor tells us that there will
be two janitors in the school next
year. Mayor, you are wrong in this
case, as Sam" has done his duty
far better than any two men of your
suggestion, so get another candidate
as Harry and his boy positively will
not I'LL the DILL
