D -

Thomas and Laura Harkness, died at
the home OF his parents, near Pleas
ant Hill, Del.
Funeral services we're held Monday,
September II. lnterment in Ebenezer
Cemetery.
ALBERT WOLLASTON.
Albert WolIaston, well known
throughout White Clay Creek and
Mill Greek Hundreds, died suddenly
at his home in Newark, about 3 a. m,
last Friday. He had been suffering for
several years, yet his death, at this
time, was unexpected
MIR. Wollaston, the son OF Joseph
and Mary Wollaston, was born No
vember 2S, IS43. on the old home
stead in Mill Creek Hundred, where
the early part of his life was spent.
During the Civil War he enlisted
in the Seventh Delaware Regiment.
In March, 1865, he married Eliza
beth Mcdaniel, of Stanton, the daugh-
ter OF Mary and Springer Mcdaniel.
Three of their children were born in
the old home, these marking the fifth
generation of the Wollaston family who
had first seen the light of day in that
place.
The father q the deceased was a
member OF the Friends Meeting at
Stanton, and Mr.. Wollaston ever pos
sessed keen interest in its welfare
About eleven years ago he bought
from Mr. Richard Pilling the property
in East Newark which has since been
his home. Many kind actions, OF

Sanitary Commission To Visit Sewer

Owing to lack OF quorum, there was
no regular meeting of the Sanitary
Commission
The progress OF the work was talk
ed over informally and it was decided
to visit Merchantville, N. J., where a
plant similar to our needs is in Sue

OF the Commission have expressed
their Willingness to go, and the trip
will likely be made on Friday. A
meeting will probably be held shortly
after their return and the work here

COUNCIL MEETING

Hose Rouse with l.. II. JACOBS, w. *.
Kennedy, DR.. Walt Steele and How
ard Leak present On motion OF DR..
Steel, Mr.. Jacobs took the chair.
Mr.. Chambers, Clerk OF Council,
read the minutes OF the previous meet
ing. Minutes approved.
The Treasurer's report was then
read and accepted
Receipts ............ ........ $4,000. IS
Disbursements ...... ........ 35S4. 81
Balance on hand ,........SI3SI 81
Reports OF different committees
were read and accepted All bills pre-.
Sented being ordered paid.
Mr.. Leak mentioned that this was
the time of the year that the appro
priation oi Council to Fire Company
was usually made. Without discus
sion the regular annual appropriation
OF $3.50 to the Fire Company was or
dered paid.
The most lengthy discussion Of the
evening was on the question Of uog
tax and license. The members pres
ent did not seem equal to handling
the matter successfully and question
was referred to the mayor with power
to act. \
a letter regarding the train nuis-
ance was referred to the Mayor, who
is in communication with officials re-
garding the trains laying at Newark
Center every night
This, in connection with the estab-
lishment of the Center yards, as a
coaling station. has been the source
OF much annoyance to residents on
Chapel street. The railroad company
will be asked to reconsider the mat
ter.
Water and light meters for new
properties are needed and at sugges-
ton of this, there was some talk of
the advantages of this system Mr..
Kennedy said that, although he hear
tily approved OF them at first and
voted for their installation, he was i'll
doubt whether it had not been a mis-
take
Mr.. Jacobs said hr thought the sys-
TEN was a good one-that several
cities are installing similar systems,
mentioning Seattle as one OF the re-
cent cities to put i'll the meter.
He thought that we should not only
consider the revenue derived, but the
amount Of water saved, thus reducing
the cpst 81 pumping facilities.
Three years ago we were using
an 4NTage of 100000 gallons per
month, where now we are supplying
more people and using only about
100000 If we did not have the
meter system and the people used the
water as wastefully as few years ago,
it is doubtful if we would have enough
to supply them
The Secretary was instructed to or
der meters needed.
The matter Of putting electric lights
on Prospect avenue was held over
until next meeting. The cost Of this
operation will be hai at that time, and
a wiser decision as to the advisabilty
OF this expense can be made.
Meeting adjourned.

The Secretarys and Treasurer's
books are kept SO that DR.. Gilhllan
says he is willing and glad to show
them to any one who is interested and
wishes to see just how the finances OF
the school stand at any time.
Up until the Iotn of August. the
end OF the rebate period, the treas
urer reports the largest amount of
taxes ever received at that date. And
since that time $500 additional have
been collected.
One of the most striking things
which the reports of the school show
is the high percentage OF promotions
throughout all the grades below the
eighth.
From this grade, which marks the
beginning of Latin there is large
