Borough Council.

A regular meeting of the Mayor and
Council was held Tuesday evening.
Mayor Gentieu presided. Councilmen
Naylor, Keen, j. S. Flanagan, Dolbow
and English were present.
Mr.. NayIor reported the grading by
cutting down the hill on Pitman street
between Penn and Delaware Eel done
and that it would take about three days
to put the asphalt on and build a foot
path crossing. The excess of dirt had
Sbeen put OH John and Mary street to fill
in the asphalt after being laid there.
A lamp which has been available for
some time was ordered placed Oh Har-
mony street between Franklin street and
the railroad.
In answer to the Clerks letter in regard
to street lights, Hugh Smith. the super
intendent of the gas company in Penn's
Grove, stated in a letter that he was do
ing all in his power to make the street
lights the best and wished to be notified
when any light was out of order.
1t is only fair to the South Jersey Gas
Co. to state that since gas was turned on
from Glassboro and since Mr.. Smith has
had charge there has been an improve
ment in the gas and lights.
The one year contract with the Penn's
Grove Grove Gas Company for go lights
at $25 a year lighted all night, expired on
October LIST. At that rate the Jets were
not lighted five nights i'll a month, three
nights before full moon and two nights
after, except on dark, cloudy nights.
The original contract six years ago was
for "a larnns at Sl9. 75. LIGHTED until mid
night, on a moonlight schedule.
At the meeting on Tuesday night c..
w. Hoy consulting engineer of the South
Jersey Gas Company, which bought the
Penn's Grove Gas Company, was present
with a contract ordinance, asking that
the Borough take the so lamps at $50 a
year,, to. be lighted every night. His
plea was that the company had made i'm
provements in Penn's Groves lighting
system and intended to make more.
The lamps and capital was invested and
the employees had to be paid every day
whether the lamps were lighted or not;
that that was as cheap a rate as most
towns receive.
No action was taken on the ordinance.
The main objection to the $500 yearly in
crease in the cost of lighting was that the
Borough expenses already exceeded the
Borough budget.
At the meeting of the Council on Octo-
Der Sd, Councilmen English, Flanagan
and Naylor were appointed a committee
to confer with the DUPONT Company in
regard to furnishing electric lights for the
Borough.

Astounding zeal, keen intelligence, and
high quality. Nor were the workers
that gathered round the new leader
entirely from the social set and circle

or another employed a vast number
of working men. His relations with
them had always been not merely

Haldane was quite aware OF the con-

with the naked reality of the situa-

directions, In matters concerning poll.

indurated. But what had been said
and what he had discussed that night
had sickened him.
Haldane felt quite lonely, quite old,
as he sat there In the small hours Of
the morning, his cigar gone out,
musing over the situation. He pulled
himself together at last. The battle
was not lost. The enemy had not won,
