BOROUGH COUNCIL MEETS.
Receives Petition for All-Night Light
ing Service and Bids for Tax Map.

Borough Council met Monday eve
ming, Mayor Adams presiding, Coun-
cilmen Leeds, Ryon, Ware, Thompson
and Clerk Andrews being present.
A petition signed by about $50 citi-
zens and taxpayers was presented, re-
questing that suitable appropriation
be made for lighting the streets all
night instead of to midnight as at
present, and to pass proper resolu-
tions directing that all street lights
be kept burning all night commencing
January 1st next and continuing
throughout the year. Upon motion
the matter was referred to the Fin
ance Committee.
A resolution was passed stating
that the scale of 100 is prefera-
BILE for the tax map because Pleasant
vile is mostly rural district and
few lots if any in the entire borough
are less than 50x150' and providing
that same be made on this scale if
the Board of Equalization of Taxes
will give their consent thereto. Bids
for the tax map were called for, and
the following were made: Ward Car
penter & Co., of Tarrytown, N. Y,
! So 900; Page & Lyons, of Long Island
City, $297.50 per SO. miles of $40
acres; R. P Thompson, $243O for
scale of 100, or $2775 for scale
of $50; w. I. Risley, $3.50 for
scale of 100, or $500 scale of
$50. Upon motion of Mr.. Thomp-
son, the bids were referred to the So
licitor for his opinion.
An advertisement stating the inten-
tion to apply for a city charter was
presented and after being signed by
the Mayor and Councilmen present,
was ordered published according to
law, in The Pleasantville Press.
! Mr. Leeds reported that the signs
regarding the speed limit in the Bor-
ough have been prepared and are
ready to put up but that seven of the
eight posts have rotted and will have
to be replaced before the work can be
completed.
| Judge Weeks sent check for S21 in
settlement of the balance of fines col
lected by him and due the Borough,
and stated that all others were either
remitted or the convicted given his
freedom with a promise to pay.
The Road Committee reported re-
ceipt of $51 from the County for use
of the Borough's sprinklers. The
Street Supervisor was instructed to
provide shelter for the sprinklers.
A resolution was passed transfer
ring $500 from the License account to
that of Fire Equipment and $2256
from Poll Tax to Borough.
The following bills were ordered to
I be paid:
Borough Account-Harry McDer-
mott. carting booths for election, 81

ing, $15.86; E. A. Higbee, Solicitor,

es, $103.50.

RECENT FIRE LOSSES
COVERED BY INSURANCE

An interesting feature in all fire
losses, likewise in the local losses in
the past week or so, is the question of
whether the property was insured or
not. With few exceptions all of the
property owners sustaining losses
here in the several recent fires were
protected to the full extent of their
losses. The house on the Oakhurst
Tract owned by the Oakhurst Land
Company, of which Mr.. Garrison is
President, was covered by a policy of
the Aetna Insurance Company and is
in course of adjustment at present
The other fire of Importance at the
home of Mr.. George Giles is being ad-
justed by the Insurance Company of
the State of Pennsylvania and the
German American on the building and
a policy of the Aetna covering furni-
ture has been paid in full. The Ma
tional Union is the interested compa-
ny in the damage to the home of Mr..
Oscar Horton, which is in course of
adjustment. The National Union re-
Gently paid the loss on the Merton ave-
nue. house owned by Mr.. D. M. Inger-
soil.
The German American is represent
ed by Mr.. Andrews, while the balance
of the companies interested above are
among those represented at the
Campbell & Wootton Agency.
