LAMBERTVILLE
CITY COUNCIL

The Lambertville Public Service
Corporation was granted two
months extension of their present
contract, during which time bids
will be received for both kinds of
lighting, at Monday nights meeting
of the Lambertville city council.
Councilman Banchoff wanted the
lighting contract forced by calling
for bids for street lighting to be in
by November IL, but w. E. Nc
Clintock, the representative of the
electric light company, said that
it would require longer time than
that to get the plant in proper
shape, so that he could look over
the city and make the best possible
offer.
General Manager j. J. Powers, of
the New Jersey Northern Gas Com
pany, said that he could submit bids
within that time, and would like to
have the opportunity of lighting the
city. He also said that Mr.. Nc
Clintock surely could quote prices
per lamp just as we'll at one time as
another, but council thought other
wise and postponed the matter.
The gas company wants to light
the city with Welsbach burners,
some 165 in all.
Keeping the poor for the city of
Lambertville is a serious proposition
these days, with only half the num-
Der to collect board from and having
to pay the burial expensesof those
who die. A bill f $25 for a burial
by Undertaken j. K. LaBaw was
received, and ordered paid. At
the same time the amount is to
be DEDUCTED from the October pay
of Lizzie and Augustus Burroughs,
who board the city's poor at $3.50
per week each. Not only have the
number decreased onehalf, but in
addition to losing the board they
have to foot the undertaker's bill,
according to their contract with
the city. In other words, they are
penalized for losing business. The
October bill only amounted to S54
against 500 or more last year, and
with $25 off this will leave but S29.
New bids are to be received at the
December meeting, for the keeping
of the poor for 1916, and some in
teresting Developments are looked
for.
John Wells, the city dog catcher,
earned Sc for the month of October
in his official capacity, but despite
this affiuence nobody else seems to
want the job.
Chairman Banchoff, of the fire
committee, got his customary call
down" on account of the fire plug
which has long been out for repairs,
and has been ordered back to it's
old home on Lambert street. He
said he had told Plumber William
Ely to do the work, and council ad-
vised him to get somebody else to
do it without further delay.
