that most of these people might have
soft, glossy, abundant hair Of beau

and Sulphur from your druggist, and
notice the improvement in the APP
pearance of your hair after a few

Many important Borough
Matters Taken Up.
SpecinI to the EVENING NE WS.

Jamesburg, April 3:-The regular
monthly meeting Of the common councll
was held in borough hall Monday night
Hartley Wheeler protested against the
~unsanitary condition of tho alley be
tween his property and Frederick Wei
sert 3 home. The matter was referred
to Commissioner Reid. The recent en-
forcement of the license fee of fifty
cents per night for all moving picture
shows brought q protest from Otto
LANCE, owner of Lange's Hall. Mayor
Patten promised to look into the mat.
ter. A complaint was before council
covering the unsightly and %unsanitary
condition of the lot in the rear Of the
wagon sheds Of st. James Catholic
church. Elmer Deblin was made a com.
mittee to see if this nuisance could not
be abated.
On recommendation of Councilman
Apologize it was voted to continue the
improvements to Sherman street be-
tween Stevens and Mcknight avenues.
But two bids were received from
local painters for the repainting of Dor
ough hall property. The bids received
we're from Otto LANCE, whose price was
$l15 for the painting and supplying the
paint or 500 and the borough to furnish
the paint. A. II. Diblin had q. bid be-
fore the council contracting to do the
work for 1899. The bid of A. Ii. Dib-
lin was accepted.
Clerk Brooks reported the receipt of
$13 for license fees for the month Of
March. &.
A recommendation that seemed to
strike the councilmen favOrably was to
compel the Public Service Gas Company
to pay an additional dollar for every
opening made in the streets to install
their service after their first opening.
No action was taken.
Mayor Patten placed before the
Gil a complaint from a citizen claiming
that Marshal Dunphy was neglecting
his duties. Officer Dunphy was before

was doing all that was possible.
A resolution was passed giving tho
