Borough Meeting to Consider Disposi- ton of Land-Birthday Post Card Shower-News from the Schools.

The special meeting of the freemen Of the borough this evening will have two questions to consider. One con- cerns the sale of the borough lands. about fifty feet square, at the east end of Wall street. This c. N. Way land desires to purchase. If sold to him he will improve the condition of the street. The old hearse and house will probably be disposed of. It is or no service to the town or people and the building is diIpadiated, and 1t would also do away with the dump ing ground and thus benefit all. The second question concerns the plot of ground at the end of the point This is government land and the movement under way is to ask the authorities at Washington for the right to maintain the place, at an expense to the bor- oueh. If the freemen do not see it to do this it will probably be sold at public auction to the highest bidder, as the government has no use for the place The place might be put in good order and Sunday baseball games there stopped.
