GETTING READY
FOR PAVING

The occurrence of high water Fri
day precipitated an animated discus,
sion in council Friday night relative tC
the capacity of the Church street cul.
vert and the subject of surface drain
/ age in general
! Mr.. Cleaver brought up the matter
by calling attention to the flooded con-
dition of the borough in the vicinity
and said that the view is held by some
that the borough is responsible, it be-
ing alleged that the culvert under
Church street is partially choked up.
The relatively small pipes laid under
the culvert in the canal by the d. L.
81 W. Railroad company are also held
responsible for flooded conditions. The
matter was discussed at considerable
length, practically all the members
participating.
Street Commissioner p. j. Keefer
explained that the Church street cul-
vert was built when the canal was a
factor in carrying off the water, Since
the culverts have been constructed in
the canal and it carries off relatively
only a small volume of water the
Church street culvert is inadequate to
prevent flooding. The fact is, he stat
ed, that larger culvert should be con-
structed at Church street
Council Friday night did not see its
way clear to take action looking to an
enlargement of the Church street and
other culyerts to meet the changed
conditions. In order to ascertain
whether or not the borough is respon-
sible in the premises, on motion of Mr..
Deutsch it was ordered that the mat
ter be referred to the committee on
streets and bridges for investigation.
On motion of Mr.. Everhart it was
ordered that communication receiv-
ed from the board of health relative
to the collection of milk license be re-
ferred to the committee ON law to act
in conjunction with the borough soli-
citor.
The following members We're pres
ent: Schatz. Finnigan, Cleaver, Pur-
sci, Everhart, Deutsch, Marshall. Cur
ry, Won Blohn and Hes.
Mr.. Cleaver reported that the bor-
ough surveyor has begun work on the
plans and specifications for paving on
East Market street.
On motion the matter of printing
the borough statement was left in the
hands of the printing committee.
The following bills were approved
for payment:

MANY WITNESSES
WERE EXAMINED

| License court was held in this city
Friday, his Honor, Judge Evans and
Associates Blee and Welliver being on
the bench. With two exceptions the
applications, representing the old
stands in which the applicants held Ii
cense last year and previously, were
at once granted, ON condition that they
be found in proper form and that the
law be fully complied with.
The applications of Joseph Hilkert
and NJ. n. Houghton constituted the
two exceptions, which were at once
taken up and which occupied the pro-
ceedings during the day.
Mr.. Hilkert, who was an applicant for
license at MooIesburg, was called to
the stand. He has sold his farm about
mile from Mooresburg and has pur-
chased the hotel property. He explain
ed why in his opinion hotel at
Mooresburg is necessity, being the
only public house between MauSdale
and Milton.
Charles Middleton, the former own
er of the hotel, was the next witness.
He explained that a hotel at Moores-
burg is public necessity and describ-
ed to what extent it has been patron
lied in the past.
There was no remonstrance against
the granting of license at Mooresburg.
ONLY ONE CONTEST.
The only remonstrance ON file was
one opposing the granting of license at
the Exchange Hotel, Anthony town

MANY WITNESSES.
Fifteen witnesses were called by the
applicant, the testimony occupying
the court until noon. The first witness
was NJ. n. Houghton, the applicant,
He is % years of age and is married.
His present home is at Pine Summit,
| Columbia county. The hotel property,
/ Iicansa f~- ..rI,ise'- \ hae oI1I,liaa Gov
is owned by his father. He was told
that it is urged that application for
that others will be pecuniarily inter
ested in the conduct of the hotel In
reply he was emphatic that it is his
| intention to occupy the house and
keep hotel in it. He has rented the
hotel property for one year paying $25
| per month. The lease was offered in
| evidence.
&" Squire" John W. Lore, of this
city formerly of Columbia county,
/ where he was justice of the peace for
many years, was called as "a witness.
! He has known the applicant practical
/ ly all his-l and considers his char
acter "all right" " In the opinion of
the witness Mr.. Houghton is a fit per-
son to govern hotel.
Harvey Houghton of Turbotville.
uncle of the applicant, with whom he
lived for four years, was the next wit
ness. He gave NJ. n. Houghton very
! good reputation.
Joseph Chamberlin and William
| Fowler of Pine Summit, who have
known NJ n. Houghton all his life,
testified to the same effect.
! S. NJ. Williamson, butcher of Turbot-
vile, said the applicant was person
of good moral character and explained
the necessity of having hotel at Ex-
change
Albert Dewald, of Pine Summit,
speaking of the applicant said "his
character is about as good as you can
get it. p"
Bryan DENIM has known the stand
for fifteen years and is certain that
a hotel has been licensed at Exchange
for at least thirty-five years. A hotel
there is a public necessity. The near
est hotels on the main arteries of
traffic are at Washingtonville, Jersey
town, Turbotville and Muncy. The
hotel at Exchange has received lib
eral patronage and the public would
be DISCONNECTED should license be
refused.
Thomas Sherrin, store keeper at Ex-
change, was called. A large number
of people come to the village to trade
and to transact business at the bank,
and to accommodate these in the OPP
inion of witness hotel is a necessity.
Isaac Acor, justice of the peace and
school teacher, caused mild sensa.
tion by averring that he had personal
knowledge of the fact that from ten tc
dozen of the men who signed the re-
monstrance did so under misappre
hension and are really of the opinion
that hotel is a necessity at the Elk
change. In reply to question from
Mr.. Herring the witness named sever
al persons, signers Of the remonstr
ance, who had expressed themselves tt
him to the above effect. The witnes!
admitted that sctional fight is OF
and that the people at Exchange hat
mostly arrayed themselves ON one sidt
or the other A hotel at Exchange is
, necessity, he said. He himself has FIRE
quently noticed as many as dozeI
persons taking dinner at the hotel
while in the stable were twelve t.
